[TRILOGY COLLECTOR]

[Cardbackkid]

Couldn't resist I went back and got more :lol:

I'm going to guess this is the most random modern acquisition shown in a while, but in my home we have almost every Star Wars tsum tsum and many hundreds more... Also have last years comic con exclusive 'Han Shot First' 2 pack tsum tsum pack....

Tried to get into the modern stuff as I wanted some memorabilia that celebrates the post vintage Star Wars universe. I liked some modern, but wasn't a fan of the human face sculpts. Was hoping the Black Series would fix that desire, but also not a fan of human face sculpt.

The past 3 celebrations I have been amazed by Sideshow and Hot Toys. Especially in Orlando this year I was blown away by the quality of these toys.

I can't undo the screw on BB-8 yet, but he lights up as well. These figures are outstanding. There's another one in the post. Enjoy.

Ok- that's enough. (For a while)

Sold some modern for this stuff. Certainly takes up less room.

 

[TEEBO1979]

Must admit I have been hooked by the Hot Toys Figures. It is about all I buy now due to the cost.
This double pack is my last edition which I bought last month. I think the Han face sculpt is there best yet.

 

[Grant_C]

Mate- im struggling with them.....started looking at EFX helmets now as well.

Some modern stuff is mindblowing. Total convert.

 

[TEEBO1979]

I know luckily they are released with a year on pre order giving you a year to spread the cost. I have Jyn Erso on order, looking forward to that one.

Here are a couple of photos of some of my others purchases.

The Hot Toys releases are superb, pricey but fantastic, some amazing pieces on show here 8)

Grant...the EFX helmets are great, where do you stand on the Black Series? I have the Stormy which I think is great for the money

Have you seen the Vader 3 piece to be released next year? Looks amazing, must have for me 8)

 

[TEEBO1979]

I picked up the Black Series Stormie and have the Poe Dameron helmet for my xmas present ( which is great quality for the price). That Vader helmet will be on my list next year.

There seems to be the feeling it will be around the same price point as the others that have been released, but I can't see it TBH as it's such a more detailed helmet and more work has gone into it, just have to wait and see, but it looks great.

Am i the only person that found this hard to get hold of?

Picked up a couple more TLJ bits...all from TRU with a money off voucher 8)...

Picked up Yoda which I didn't expect to see at TRU just yet (they did have Obi-Wan on the peg but the bubble was slightly crushed so i passed on it until I find a better one...they only had the one on the peg)...the Force Link starter set does remind me of the Commtech Chip reader that came out in the 90's

 

[TRILOGY COLLECTOR]

Extra set of wave 1 40th anniversary toys

 

[Russ J]

Picked up another Episode 1 figure yesterday off Ebay....its been ages since I bought an Episode 1 figure as there is not that many I need for the full collection of single card figures....

Saw it for sale on Ebay and the seller was in Leeds which was a bonus...so did the best offer choice and then collected it to save the postage....

Amidala with the Ascension Gun....

I need to get that one as well, I think I only need 7 to complete my carded run. All the ones I need are a tenner or under so it's not too bad.

 

[TRILOGY COLLECTOR]

Nice job russ

 

[Grant_C]

Just love them.

 

[grinchy]

Some brilliant pickups lately guys, love the hot toys stuff but the force is not with my bank account
Empire magazine had an offer on if you bought a years subscription you could pick a black series figure up, I chose the At At
driver, love the sculpt on this guy

 

[naughtyjedi]

Picked this sexy saucepot up in Belgium..

Comes from the Netherlands smiths snacks promotion for the special edition in 96/97..

10 euros

I think its about 6-7 Episode 1 figures I need to complete the set as well...can't remember exact ones off the top of my head...only two I can remember are two variants of the battle droid (think its the 'dirty' one and the 'shot' one)...

Picked some more TLJ pieces from TRU in York today...

Resistance A-Wing (which according to the TRU website comes out sometime in November so why they have it know I don't no ?)

And secondly Obi-Wan Kenobi...which is surprisingly awkward to find (well I found it awkward anyway...its only the second one i've seen,the first one had a slightly crushed bubble)

Also they had Kylo's Tie Silencer as well and that isn't supposed to be available until November as well...

 

[Russ J]

Picked up the Canto Bight Police Speeder today from TRU in Leeds....

 

[Dr_Ball_MD]

Starting to build up the Rebels figures now.

 

[Russ J]

Been to TRU in Leeds again this morning to buy this .....(I'm addicted...help :lol: )...
Got them to price match Smyths...so reduced from £59.99 to £39.99...I were surprised that they did price match as Smyths don't actually have them in stock atm but only available on a Pre-order and I read on the TRU website that for them to price match the other store had to actually have them in stock (to me that means available for online delivery or collection) and Smyths don't do either atm...If challenged I were just gonna play dumb but they said it was fine they'll do the price match 8)

 

[grinchy]

Great pick up mate, love the look of the tie silencer, streamlined but still menacing
Home and bargains strikes again, picked up this set for 8 quid

Glad I waited and got it at a discount, only bothered at the maz figure really

 

[Russ J]

Cheers grinchy 8) ...yeh the Tie Silencer is one cool looking ship it has to be said ....

Great pick up on the Takodana Encounter set mate...I saw these at Home Bargains Sunday just gone as well...a proper bargain at £8 8) ....the Maz figure is a great looking figure 8)

 

[grinchy]

Cheers mate
Its a great set, can't grumble for the price.
Also got this in, another of the McQuarrie list, paid less than twenty for it bonus!

 

[Grant_C]

Loving these sculpts. The Deathtrooper lights up which was a nice surprise.
