Topic: eBay - customs, dioramas and auctions of the week

Indeed, the seller says it's his life-long collection. His baby.

Would someone please explain to me why people pay the price of a whole set just for one of its figures?
Also I didn't know that TVC is made by MATTEL now. Do they fly now? This is madness.




The Magna Guard alone sold for 65€ by itself, all 3 figures sold for 124.52€ plus shipping. It's currently sold out on Hasbro Pulse and who knows if it restocks, but that's almost double the price than the cheapest offer I could find online. But it's nice to see that the demand for gaming characters is strong!

I remember when I had this issue as a collector. I just had to have it. I remember spending like 70 bucks on a target lava vader (which at the time was just nuts). I don't even know where that figure is now.

[Darth More]

Haha, I feel you and am sure it'll show up again once you get through all your boxes eventually.
I'm just glad we're not completists.

Well, I never watched the REBELS TV show so I haven't been interested in any of its merch. However the small/Class I vehicles that Hasbro released between 2015-2018 were quite decent! So for 10€ shipped! I just couldn't pass on this ebay deal. Even though there was no further wrapping, both of the speeders arrived on good condition within just 2 days!

[Tamer]

Not a bad speeder for that price at all!

I was looking for the CLONE WARS line of 2003 and recognized that all of Hasbro's toy lines prior TSC 2006 are not listed in our Kenner / Hasbro Collecting category...I guess that was before the forum existed.

Anyhow the original CLONE WARS line was very small compared to the SAGA'02 main line.
Still it has taken 20 years for me to discover that there were VALUE PACKS of this assortment available back then. Have you known this? Were they included with some Medium Class vehicles?

Found these custom figures in the bay over the past week and decided to pull the trigger on that Rodian for 35€. Both are supposed to be Bounty Hunters and I find them inspiring. That Rodian Jedi is pretty rare and I wouldn't dare to use him for a custom. So 35 bucks are very reasonable to me.

Found this diorama display on ebay Germany this morning. Neat idea.






That power charger looks like a piece from Bakugan. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

The price is 49€ or best offer. Shipping is 10€.

Found this repainted CIS bomber as part of a junk starship lot. The colors remind me of the concepts of Neimoidians costumes and palaces. Very nice work here.

[Starchaser]

Nice! I love the design of those ships - gives me a kind of "steam punk" Star Wars vibe. Cool paint job, too.

[Darth More]

I agree, Jeff. I always like to see what other creative minds out there come up with.

[Darth More]

Found this auction after it ended, but still think it's worth sharing for all of you out there who like the SOLO movie and the Galactic Empire. This Imperial installment is 3D printed.









I know that other toy lines have no problem releasing accessory sets like this, Hasbro.

[Starchaser]

That's a really nice set. Good find Philipp.

[Darth More]

Thanks, Jeff! I asked the seller and she introduced me to a videogame, I hadn't known before: Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds

She said the tent appears in that game, but SOLO was released after the game. Maybe someone involved with the production of the movie likes the game.

After 5 minutes of research I also found the STL file for the tent. I'm sure the other accessories can be found there, too!
