Stuff I picked up today:
Very happy with the action collection Biggs and Wedge. Thought the trash compactor was a bit overpriced for the condition of the box but bought it anyway because I’ve got the set now:
My heart is very happy and my bank account is less than pleased

Nice additions mate
Thanks. Biggs and Wedge are missing a few bells and whistles but I'm still very happy with the find

Ok - so this is clearly more than '1 purchase' but over the last two months I've begun closing the last gap in my plan to have a 'complete' basic figure run from 1978-2005 - the much derided Saga Blue line. To be fair I am one of those that likes to bash it:
The packaging is for **** - dull and lacking any sort of design
The Attack of the Clones figures are not even given their own line (rectified with EPIII came out)
This was the line that really made reissues, repaints and repacks a mainstay of Hasbro's ongoing strategy
The quality of the figures was not amazing - there was a significant dip from the high quality of EP1 and Power of the Jedi
Phase 1 was everywhere, but Phase's 2 and 3 could never be found - the start of years (and still ongoing) of Hasbro's rubbish distribution issues
But for all that I do find myself enjoying these - some of the basic figures are OK, but there are a few gems in there - and then from know where there was the final numbered figures from Phase 2 that became The Clone Wars (based on the 2004 CN characters, but live action renders compared to the Tartakovsky version) and while the design of the packaging doesn't really improve in Phase 2 and 3 the quality of the figures do and this is also the line that gave us some great collectors bits (OK that is outside the basic line) - but the Jedi High Council sets, the Death Star Trash Compactor sets and the Deluxe packs are fantastic throughout (the value in the Attack of the Clones ones early on in the line are great and the quality of the final 6 at the end amazing).
Anyway - the OCD collector in me gave in and could have this gap in the run so here we go....
