Latest Modern Acquisitions

[monkey_roo]

I know that to some this might look like after almost a decade out of the modern game I am back in, but I'm not... honest and if anyone tells my wife I am........

It may also look like I have made the first re-purchase having sold off my collects all those moons ago - to those I say OPTICAL ILLUSION...

And I am not on the hunt for the 12 Order 66 sets and if anyone has a good lead on them they certainly shouldn't let me know...

Have to say the custom Shadows figures (genuine figures - custom cards) are amazing....

Some cool modern stuff at the moment, love the 20th anniversary Phantom Menace figures. 8)

Looks like your all doing well, some nice purchases. I picked up anything vintage or modern in the past two months and im starting to get withdrawal symptoms -.-


Nipped into the Entertainer to see if anything has been restocked, usual disappointment in our store and to make it worse they have put all the 6inch figures upto £22, yep even for Jyn Erso :roll:

Some neat figures there

 

[monkey_roo]

Final tin arrived.

Finally added a Euro The Vintage Collection Ahsoka Tano with the multi-lingual sticker on the back and rectangular black stickers on the front. Trying to figure out if there's any other variations besides this and the US version. Follow me of Instagram and Twitter @vintageviewport

Picked up a couple 3'x4' vinyl banners that came from Toys R Us. Guy had a whole stack and picked up at a super great price. Going to use them as back drop for YouTube and podcast stuff for my channel SixthScaleScavengers

Daughter finally found a Jacen Solo.
She's a huge Timothy Zahn fan and has always wanted this figure so delighted she's got it at last.

 

[Cazza]

Cool- never seen that before.

Got this Stormtrooper set for my son the other day- awesome set for an excellent price! https://www.thetoyshop.com/action-toys-figures/playsets/Star-Wars-Force-Link-2-0-Stormtrooper-Squad-9cm-Figures---6-Pack/p/539900

Bet that Jacen cost you an arm and a leg mate?

Definitely the most she's spent on a modern figure but she's been after one for a long time so worth it.

Just had a bumper load of Episode 1 stuff delivered which will get split over her birthday and Christmas.

I've neven seen the Gungan ammo wagon before.

 

[chiffy]

I've not much love for episode 1 merch nowadays even tho' i have it all. My fave is the huge Fambaa which i had been after for years until i finally snagged him last year for just short of £100. Get her that beast next Col!

 

[monkey_roo]

I have to say I love the EP1 stuff, if I was to be talked back into buying a full wave it would be them (figures) the. Maybe Power of the Jedi - that was a great wave.

Anyway. I made a right old balls up of getting this years SDCC figure (one of them anyway) ordered from a evilbay chap in the US at a ******* stupid mark up and the. Saw InDemandToys had it for just about RRP. So orders that and now trying to cancel the evilbay order - true to form, three emails asking the cancel (first went to the chap before CC even opened, so no way he didn't know I wanted to cancel) and. It I gotta. Can't stop the payment which is now gone and zero comms. I am better he emails in a few days saying sorry it has shipped feel free to return, knowing that will cost me too much to bother...

Anyway, rant over the figure is awesome and my InDemandToys order arrived today.

Nice collection, love the wagon 8)

I'm in the same boat Matt! I snagged the vader prototype from ID but forgot about the fett and red stormie pre order times and missed out. There is still hope tho buddy as SAF havent put them up for pre order yet so go on there and register interest and they will email you the moment theyre up for grabs.

 

[monkey_roo]

Yeah - sucks
so i got the inevitable email yesterday - 'sorry, item already shipped, bla bla bla, couldn't cancel in time. So pissed off. Anyway, better park it under one to learn from and move on...

 

[monkey_roo]

So
I have gone EP1 mad and over the next week lots of lovely goodies will arrive so I will save that show and tell for one post, but this arrived today. Retro style escape from Death Star game with figure. Very nice, now need the first wave of retro figures to get here....

 

[theforceuk]

That's really cool for a modern item, very nice.

 

[monkey_roo]

So the photos start now.
Still waiting haul to arrive, might be tomorrow now...
But a few of these two packs have started to filter in. Never owned any of these back in the day, love them. I assume there are fifty of them out there, would make sense, but if anyone knows shout out, I have seven here and another five or six on the way.

Seen a few I like but the price is daft (180 for a 3PO and droid two pack....)

Anyway, enjoy.

Got to love the Ep1 cards, especially the twin packs!
I had a near full run of these twin packs back in the day, the droid added in place of the Commtech chip "thingy" which some countries did not take.
There was also 15 combinations of figures with Pit droids, these seem to be more expensive to pick up.
There are only 28 to collect, this was going to be my next Modern run, once I've completed my POTF2 Italian Red card run, which I still have two to find (Fett and Luke X Wing if anyone can help!) and they are proving to be very hard to find.
This link is very good for Ep1. See page 39 onwards.

And if your intrested these are also good for modern

Hope that helps.

Hey
Great links, haven't seen those before. The EP1 book looks great.

I will have to get all 28 of the 2 packs with droids I think.I have managed to buy fifteen in the last three days (so need to stop now). The pit droids look good as well but somehow the battle droids look better. I suspect that will be a hard little sub-line to collect.

Good luck...but leave some for me! :wink:
:lol:

 

[monkey_roo]

Lots of goodies in the post today.
The full 50 are in pretty good nick, a few cards showing age but as a set which cost under £5 a card pretty good.

Three more EU 2 Packs as well.

Now I need to get a lot of star cases to make sure the cards are preserved.... will cost as much as the figures

 

[monkey_roo]

Two more today....

 

[Ruby2511]

Nice collection monkey_roo 8)

I have always liked the graphics on the episode 1 cards, very vivid colours, will look great in Star cases

 

[Mini99]

Two more today....

Another pair to add to the twin pack run, how many left to get?
And...leave some for me! :wink:
Oh by the way, started the Bonus Pit Droid run...proving expensive!

 

[monkey_roo]

And again...

 

[monkey_roo]

And more....

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Last weeks finds, and the only bit of vintage I have come across in the wild in the past few months. At least its one of my favourites

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

No idea why Mr Boskk is on his side, hmmm.
