Golderleaderone, awesome Luke custom as well. I wish SOTE would have seen a few more SA figure releases. :/

Thanks. It was a simple custom, just some part swapping and minor painting. Never understood why that version of Luke was never made, its a simple one to make.

I drove around for an hour tonight after the snow we had for some SW stuff. I'm thinking I'd be outsmarting everyone else who stayed home but alas, I only came home with one item. I snagged a Biggs Darklighter figure from the 30th Anniversary Collection, the Tosche Station deleted scene. Now that I'm expanding my collection, I figured another Biggs wouldn't hurt. There's not many versions of him around anyway.

Saturday I found a Black Series 3.75" C-3PO figure at Gamestop of all places. Then drove down the road to Target and got the Titanium Jango Fett's Slave I.  I know I said I don't collect from the Prequels, but it's still the Slave I here lol. Later in the day my Vintage Collection Endor Capture Luke came in the mail from ebay. Got that for a good price, $25 free shipping.

Finally got myself a 6" Asty here in RI! I stopped in Toys R Us today and he was the only one on the shelf. I'm really happy I found him, and Asty being a reference to the Beastie Boys is cool, which I'm a fan of. I'll tell ya, this thrill of the hunt is awesome. I haven't had this feeling since the POTF days.

Another guy came up right after me and went through the same row of figures where I got Asty from. Not sure if he was looking for him, as I saw him later walking around empty handed. If he was after Asty, I beat him by mere seconds. I kinda felt bad, I left the isle for a few minutes lol.

I recently got a few figures on Ebay, including a battle damaged R2-D2, R5-J2, and a second Rebel Honor Guard figure. From another seller I also got a Stormtrooper with removable helmet to customize for a future photonovel. They were all pretty good deals, so I can't complain!

Right now I'm looking at a few other figures I could use for the photonovel, and a vehicle or two I could potentially use for my kitbashed vehicle I'd like to do over the Summer. I had to scrap my first idea since the parts were just so expensive. Plus I don't have enough space to really store what I wanted to build, so perhaps it's a win-win...

Walked into Target, checked the time before getting to the toy section. The time read 11:38.

A sign perhaps?

With this being (possibly) the last Han figure, I just had to buy it. That face sculpt is fantastic too!

That AT-AT shirt is nice. Is that spoofing AT&T? The logo kinda looks like it.

Yeah, sure is spoofing at and t. Instead of reach out and touch someone its reach out and crush someone. I got a laugh out of it.

Speaking of AT-AT, I got in my Art Fx AT-AT Driver Statue yesterday. It showed up pristine mint.

The local ALDI had all Star Wars toys on clearance, the 5POA figures at EUR 4.99 and the Rebels vehicles at EUR 9.99.
Too bad they didn't have the shuttle anymore, but I picked up an Experimental TIE and two AT-DPs.
At Christmas the vehicles were EUR 19.99, then reduced to EUR 14.99 last month and now even further.
Patience, my young Padawan...patience.

A few more pickups for me recently:

The cream of the crop is the Action Fleet Classic Duels TIE Fighter vs. X-wing set. I now have this to go with the TIE Interceptor vs. Millennium Falcon set and AT-ST/Landspeeder 2-pack. All that's left for me now for the Original Trilogy Action Fleets is the 18 battle packs!

Now that I'm expanding my collection, I picked up Bespin Luke and Endor Han from TVC, and Chewie from The Black Series (also my first Chewie figure). Got all these for under $10.

Lastly I picked up a Micro Machines BB-8 figure to go with my custom Action Fleet Millennium Falcon from The Force Awakens.

Another shipment from Asia came in today: 3 x TVC Colonel Cracken and 2 x TAC Jango Fett.
Lots of SA goodness for little money.

I need to pick up 3 Colonel Crackens as well! Which seller did you purchase them from?

I just sealed a deal over on Rebelscum to get:

Hoth Rebel Soldier - with scarf (Defense on Hoth) x2
Hoth Rebel Soldier - blonde beard (Defense on Hoth)

THE LEGACY COLLECTION:
Hoth Rebel Soldier [missing cannon]
Cloud City Wing Guard - Utris M'Toc

TAC:
Mace Windu
Biggs Darklighter (Tosche Station)
Jango Fett (Kamino apartment)

Saga:
General Rieekan with Hoth Tactical Screen

POTJ FX-7

I've needed several of these figures for a while, or in the case of Reieekan, his tactical screen. This was the biggest purchase I've made in some time, but got everything for a decent price. I was able to negotiate with the seller, so he knocked off a few bucks overall. I've seen the Hoth Rebels go for $30+ each, so I'm considering this a really good deal since I got 4 of them.  :)
