weapons and accessories i couldnt wait any longer

[pizzathehutt]

Finally bit the bullet yesterday and blew £80 on blasters to complete a handful of my loose figures

I was hoping a few would pop up for sale on here but no joy

Looking forward to completing them

how many of you on here had a loose run with missing weapons and accessories and had to do the same?

Well done- good to get them completed.

I've needed a pop-up saber since 1995...

Finally got around to completing my Rebo Band last year, which was pricy. Otherwise, everything's complete. The R2 bugs the hell out of me though

1995... :lol: that makes me frustrated just reading it.

That's made me feel so much better about not snapping up a near mint £60 pop up R2 earlier this month on ebay, I was about to buy it but missed out to another buyer, i'm glad I didn't get to buy it now cus i'd never ever get the separate saber it needed anyway 8)

I'm actually needing a Zuckuss rifle, it's only been several weeks since I got Zuckuss and it's bugging me already not being able to get a rifle. I'll end up having to buy another figure complete with the rifle and sell one of the figures. :evil:

luckily I have the r2 saber ticked off

not looking forward to amanaman staff or black palace blasters

I seen a black one on ebay the other week, think it went for about £100 or more if I remember right.

 

[pizzathehutt]

your looking at about £13 for the zuckuss rifle so yeah better off buying a complete one for it

I think i'll spend most of next year buying weapons to complete figures, that and treating myself to the odd ship or playset

 

[edd_jedi]

90% of my loose collection started with no accessories! I got quite a few on here from wanted ads, and also from various Facebook groups. I quite enjoyed the hunt.

 

[pizzathehutt]

I'm enjoying it at the moment, since jan this year ive managed to collect about 75 of the 95? loose figures and I'd say about 30 of them are complete so quite a way to go yet.

will upload photos to the forum in December to show how ive done in a year and how much was spent

I've limited myself to £1000 which has almost gone

Great work on getting a run at 1k!!! May have a black palace blaster available... And think I just sold my complete zuckus last month so not sure if I've a spare rifle...

 

[subzero]

Well done getting all those.

If there's one thing iv'e learned so far it's to never underestimate the cost of teeny tiny weapons lol, iv'e found buying complete figures saves a fair amount of money in the long run when building up a large collection, as obviously individual weapons usually cost a bit more to get.

 

[Stubbs]

I have learned the hard way about buying a nice priced figure without all the accessories only to fine as we all have they are the parts that cost a lot more seprate. Black palace blaster and a wing pilot gun also r2d2 saber are the worst.

If you look on ebay uk now there might be one palace blaster genuine example but will see for around £80 £100

Hey buddy I sent you a follow up message about that spare blaster I had but heard nothing. Still there if you want it. If not no worries

i bougt a nikto of ebay for £2 a few years ago and it came with a black palace blaster! i was well chuffed

I'm after a Rebo Band, it's one item I never had as a kid.
I've seen a few sets selling without the mic stands and Droopy's flute, one set for £30.
That would mean having to then hunt for those accessories loose.
In the grand scheme of things would it be better to stump up an extra £50 plus to buy a complete set?
Bit of a dilemma for me...

 

[pizzathehutt]

That would be worthwhile as the Mics can go for 20-25 each

 

[pizzathehutt]

I remember as a kid getting sy snootles and droopy McCool at a collectors fair and then later at another finding the piano but for some reason I could never find max reebo and it was only until I was at college in 99 I found one in a shop in Ruislip called calvers collectables, think I used my lunch money to buy him :lol:

A complete set has git to be the way to go, so much cheaper and easier in the long run.
I remember the last one I boight was a boxed one with figures and fantastic box for £50.00, but that was 1999!

That's amazing, you'd be very lucky indeed for that to happen these days!

I think you've done really well. I still need to chance upon a Black Stormtrooper Blaster for my Luke. I remember when Iain Sanderson had about 3 he thought were dodgy at a Farthest From. He couldn't be 100% sure so i thought bugger it, i'll cope with my dark dark blue one for a while.
