Modern collection thread

[grinchy]

There will be another one come along i'm sure, not sure what i'll add, got my eye on a sideshow Leia, not sure on the likeness on it though, see what happens

If you missed out on the carbon Mando; heres your chance. No idea on the quantity available but I dont think they will be around for long.

Mando themed collection is gradually growing, still waiting on the baby and will add the carbon version soon. Still need to get myself Cara though, I really shouldn't of slept on that one, prioritised on the others that I thought would be a pain in the arse to get hold of (I wasnt wrong) but even Cara seems to be a bit thin on the ground for some reason......


Will commandeer a rogue one death trooper for the mando series themed shelf display 8)

 

[grinchy]

looks great mate, they all look good together

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Hmm, no idea why that last one was on its side but fixed. Cheers Grinchy, I still need to add a normal Boba but ill wait until they do the Empire version. Not going to pay silly money for the blue/red line bs one. Seriously tempted to try and do a few customs too at some point, but we shall see.

urrg, missed it :roll: :lol:

 

[Palifan]

urrg, missed it :roll: :lol:

It's a link just for the pre-order (I thought I'd missed it at first as well), so you can still order it but it won't arrive for couple of months. I felt it was worth it for getting one at the right kind of price and I'm in no rush right now.

My son's started to put together a collection. Mostly modern, with a little vintage thrown in for good measure.

 

[Palifan]

Nice to see your son following in your footsteps Andy. I tried that once with my son and gave him one of my shelf spaces for him to display some of his treasures. Once halloween came along I used the shelf space to make a horror themed display out of it and needless to say he never got his toys back in there :lol:

He does use his room now though to display his goodies and lego customs so it's all worked out (even though he's still got his eye on my cabinet ).

Great display and I'll look forward to seeing any updates.

Yeah, he's really into it and is becoming more and more interested in vintage. Got some nice Action Force displays in his room as well 8)

Glad your son is continuing his displays, despite your attempted sabotage! :lol:

 

[MrGudz]

That's a nice SOTE Slave 1 there Andy.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

OOOOOOOOO some interesting new releases being revealed, looking forward until we see some images, Cad Bane, ROTJ Luke Leia and Han as well as Darth Nihilus and a clone trooper LT for the gaming grates line (really hate GameStop and there ****** practices).

Cad Bane.......I hope we get a BS Fives too, these taking anyone elses fancy?

 

[grinchy]

Just got on this fett, a preorder from staraction figures, definitely a better price than ebays 40 to 50 quid preorder price!
think this is going to be a popular one
Shiny!

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

OOooo maybe mine is on his way then, little yoda should be here later too



Ooops, read that wrong. Some time this month with any luck, so cant be far off. The child arrived this morning, cute little bugger that kept me waiting since late last year. :lol:

 

[grinchy]

Got my child this morning, came in a massive box from star action figures, surprised how tiny it is, heres a pic, palpy for scale

also got this hoth set from a friend downsizing his collection

Also snagged this Luke, not the best likeness in the world but it'll do

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

I do hope they put that Han in a box or on a card back, id like to see a Luke (i know yet another) in his Hoth outfit and Tauntaun as well.

 

[grinchy]

Yeah that would be nice, I'd buy a Luke and Tauntaun,

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Honestly id want both Luke and Han on tauntauns :lol:

I have tried on a number of occasions to try and pick up the old ones but no such luck, and im trying to hold back from paying stupid money as you just know Hasbro will re release them. Well you'd of thought so..... :lol:

 

[grinchy]

I'm sure they will rerelease them at some point, they usually do

 

[Dr_Ball_MD]

Tried not to get into collecting black series but couldn't resist these, also a few Mandalorian figures as well.

 

[grinchy]

those bounty hunters look great !, its a slippery slope though, buy a few and soon your eyeballing more and more of them

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Very nice indeed, I should really pick them up at some point but I kind of wished they had been released in the same time period and kept the same packaging, fine if you want them open though.

Bossk has got to be my favourite, hope we get some mando' tv series Trandoshans too.

 

[Palifan]

Looks like you completely failed with not getting into Black Series :lol:

I can see why you folded though and those bounty hunters look amazing all in a line like that, fantastic run and I can see why you've also picked up some on the Mando ones as well. It might end up being a slippery slope for you with these figures but i think it's more than worth while once they're up on display.

Ian

 

[Mini99]

They look fantastic open together but I must echo [mention]Sundancer Squadron[/mention] that as a collector that doesn't open items they should have been released in the same packaging.
[mention]Dr_Ball_MD[/mention] they do tend to multiply, you get one and the next time you look there's loads in your collection.

 

[grinchy]

Just ordered this guy, got my eye on the snowspeeder to go with him, see what happens

 

[grinchy]

Bought another few figures, loving the vintage style packaging
first up the rebel hoth soldier

you can get a couple of different looks with this one, they include another faceplate in the backpack

Also bought Lando and R2

 

[MrGudz]

I've tried to stop picking up BS figures with limited success. I wasn't too fussed regarding the Amazon exclusives, but lo and behold, I've ordered them :roll:

 

[grinchy]

its a slippery slope collecting black series, you buy a couple then suddenly your surrounded by the bloomin things
Had to get this double pack, looks great, i've included a few pics of what it looks like released from its plastic prison

i bet this pose is next to impossible to do

 

[grinchy]

Got another couple of additions coming in, this elite series Luke and Han stormtrooper set i missed out on when they were first released, just won on ebay, pleased with it

also got a couple of Rey items in, first up the titanium series Rey, didn't pay a lot for this, definately not worth the twenty they were originally retailed at, i paid £8.40 shipped, happy with that, i have the Finn from this set already, just need Kylo and phasma to complete the set

Finally Rey Jedi training on Crait, got this loose, a nice set
