new 40th anniversary figures from hasbro

[lejackal]

The pack contains 2 x Leia, 2 x Luke, 2 x Kenobi, 1 x Han and 1 x R2.

I'd be interested in Luke and Ben.

Stick me down for a beautiful Princess Leia if you go ahead mate

Noticed Luke, Leia and Ben in my local Toys R Us this morning.

Picked a Luke last night from TRU

 

[chiffy]

Yeah noticed these available. Will pick them up myself. Thought they were going to be rather scarce?

 

[adampbooth]

Picked these up fro TRU this evening...
The lovely lady fetched them out of the back especially.
I can confirm that in each case there are the following:
2 x Luke, 2 x Leia, 2 x Obi Wan, 1 x Han and 1 x R2-D2.

Two Leia's and three Luke's at Forbidden Planet in Cov.
The face sculpt is a vast improvement.

I have R5 and Luke XWP. They are ok, but when they're going for $15-20 in the States it annoys me what we pay

Just picked up the Vader with the display stand and am now hooked. It was an eye watering £45 but I love the packaging and style. These are now "x line" which means discontinued by TRU. Need to try and collect the set but disheartening to hear about the usual price differential, Rich.

 

[tobedesu]

Yeah, £25.99 I paid from Forbidden Planet.
This is the only one I wanted at that price point.

Well, I've gone for a case from a dealer in the US. Will end up costing about £27 a figure shipped. Gone with him as he's "sympathetic" when it comes to declared values....

I feel like it's 1995 all over again :/ Can't help but love these figures but in my heart know they're overpriced tat that will be worth a quarter of what I pay within months. And so many more to go.

If anyone knows where I can get a Luke X-Wing and an R5-D4 for less than the stupid £50+ on eBay please do give me a shout.

That's not bad for FP as a mark up. These should be £20 all day but they and TRU seem to have the market seen up.

R5 will be available in the uK soon. You can forget about LXP. Limited exclusive run and will not be reproduced

.....| You can forget about LXP. Limited exclusive run and will not be reproduced

At least the Droid will be available. Looks like I'll have to spend a ridiculous £80 to get one shipped from the US. I take it these were around $25 at the show?

Hey,
I have brought many things from US via gsp & yes the price you receive at end of auction includes all charges or risk of charges to the UK.The price is a little higher but worth it imo.And yes i to have already looked at LXP from US.. Crazy money but that's exclusives these days as you probably know!

Excellent, thanks mate and welcome

That's not so bad then. If you consider the cost of the shipping the Pitney Bowes repacking then £17 for the GSP seems pretty reasonable.

No problem!
Thanks for the welcome,i have been lurking so thought I'd register!
