Modern collection thread

[chiffy]

Just took this off a courier and i'm stunned at the size of the beast! Makes the stormie bin look slighty tiny Also got new Lando, digital face quality is so alike. All thanks to great packaging and price from Geet Toy Stores keep up the good work gents!

Nice looking helmet Chiffy :mrgreen:

As people may have noticed I've sold off a load of vintage recently (needs must and all) so I treated myself to a few cheapo Rogue One figures. Might save up for an AT-ACT next.

Great looking helmet chiffy, and those loose figures look great, the big walker sounds good, hope you get one for a decent price

Thanks Ian. I know a site that has them for £100 shipped which seems pretty decent compared to the majority of eBay

Managed to add a few more, mainly the multipacks and big hitters to go now then onto the Vintage Collection MOCs

 

[grinchy]

Looks a fine collection there mate
Snagged another unleashed statue from the bay, really impressed at the likeness for a six inch scale figure,

Been building up my collection of canon novels, and a couple of non canon, all in hardback.

Hi all, not been here for a while or in country but just after advice about my "spreading" collection.
I do like modern BUT there is way too much to keep it all now never mind getting figures from all modern films and future probables.
Loved Rogue One and Solo and think packaging is done ok too so as I have only a few figures to get in R1 thats decided.
But (another one), reluctant to part with bargains.
Would really like to get more vintage but cannot resist picking up figures (modern) that are cheap and on sale! Classic impulse SW buying fever.
What do you guys do to retain focus and reduce spread?

Hi Taff

Good to see you back mate 8)

I am in the same boat as you at the moment, it doesnt help with the bargain stores that churn out SW stock at heavily reduced prices, they have you thinking that it is to good to miss especially with the price labels stating a massive discount, its all psychological dont you think? I dont know about you Taff but i am very impulsive ? Always have been.

My focus is Hot Wheels ships and Home Bargains had twin packs in the other day for £1.29, so i had to buy 4 packs :lol: again an impulsive buy.

Lately i am drawn to the black series :lol: But think a bit of self control is what is stopping me from snapping them up, plus i am running out of room :shock: i think that helps me personally to reduce spread and remain focused

 

[MrGudz]

I'm the same. I swore I'd give up on collecting modern then I see all the BS in The Entertainer. Luckily I'm only after a Scariff Stormtrooper if they ever get any in.

This is my collection for Rogue One. What is not pictured is the TFA 6 pack and TLJ Phasma/Finn 2 pack.
I say not included as apparantly these were released with Rogue One waves but how come they have different packaging?

All my Rogue One and TFA multipack that was the TRU exclusive.

 

[MrGudz]

From what I was reading tonight SAF sold out of their remaining 150 Gammy Guards in 30 minutes! I would of liked one but the cost puts me off. I know it's not SAF bumping the price up but over £30!! :shock:

 

[Taffius]

I have been trying to understand why Hasbro roll out packaging from a previous line within another line wave. For example:

(Source: Jeditemple ArchivesVisual Guides, http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/star-wars-rogue-one/)

TRU exclusive TFA 6 pack. Released as a Multipack under Rogue One multipack group. Target exclusive Saga 7 pack is another example (but I do not have - it is a want).

Were they purely a "bridge" to Rogue One release or a deal between a toy retailer and Hasbro and one offs? Anyone know why Hasbro / Stores did this? Was it just shifting older stock under an exclusive banner?

 

[Taffius]

Off on a modern toy recce today. See what HB have these days!

Well Boston, Lincs HB only had Rey and Kylo black series and some hot wheels. Next door in TK Maxx there were some Hot Wheels too.

That was about it. A little pants to say the least.

Boxed up all my VC mocs to free up some space, means I can get the boxed ships/vehicles out of storage. Would love to display them next to their original counterparts.

Lovely display, thanks for sharing 8)

It does look good db94.

 

[Palifan]

That's an impressive run db94, it shows you how nice those modern boxes look and it's great to see them against the originals. Maybe you could split displaying them into two lots and put out half the originals against their modern counterparts out for a while and then swap them over. I only have limited space so need to rotate things every now and then but it's nice to have a change around and keeps things fresh on display.

What a great collection of ships and creatures you have.
I've never seen those Vintage collection ones before as I've only been collecting again for the last two years and only collect vintage.
I love the vibrant colours of the VC, and my don't they command a good price; the Tauntan VC can be more expensive that a vintage one on eBay!
As has already been mentioned they would look great displayed VC beside vintage, would like to see pictures of whatever you chose to do.
Thanks for posting.

Excellent condition, there is a faint indented line on the front which is hard to show in a photo. See last pic.

Thanks
