Topic: New Star Wars Purchases

   I went a little nuts on ebay last week. I bid on a "Battle for Endor" battle pack, for a decent price. And a lot of MIB Saga collection figures, for about 9 bucks a piece. Not the deal of the century,  but I've priced them and a couple of them go for twice what I paid, loose. Since I collect both Imperials for my Army build, and Ewoks,  it was a win win. Most of the time you buy a lot of figures half of them you dont want. I can definitely use Ewok god C-3po, and Endor Luke too.

Some of those older figures seem like they are selling for way more as they have more arty. Go figure.

Received three more Crackens from one of my favorite Asian suppliers.
I just love this figure and ist potential for Rebel customs.

  Yeah I got a few TIE pilots from Tunghori today. These power sellers are great.

Yepper, those power sellers are great. Folks don't forget we have a full list of em in our eBay Section so you can stock up on figures that actually move.

On my own note I got in my target.com 6" exclusive with that great new Death Trooper. You gotta love their 20 percent off code and then I got five more percent off by using my Target card.

Now to see if I can find some of those elusive walmart arty figures.

   I traded a few of my bandai model figures, for some 3.75" figures. I got a ton of new, and mint older figures. Royal guards, Stormtroopers, kmart scan crew with stormtrooper, kmart ewok catapult, r2 ewok capture, and the imperial r4 droid, forgot his name, the all black one, not the blue one. Im happy with the deal, I enjoy building the bandai figures.

Tunghori is great! I grabbed a TVC Nein Nunb figure from him for about 12 bucks.


I found the Walgreen's C-3P0 tonight. I stopped at one Walgreen's, they didn't have them but an employee looked up the wic number and told me which stores had them in stock. While at Walgreen's I also picked up The Black Series Titanium Imperial Shuttle.

The wic number for 3P0 is 949804

Picked up an Action Fleet Imperial Shuttle for $10 at a local collectible store on Friday. Later I found a lone 6" Director Krennic at Target around 1:30 in the afternoon. I haven't seen red arm 3PO or the Scarif squad leader yet.

[Mr. Black]

Nice, the Krennice figure is just the perfect base for all sorts of custom Imperial officers

Wow, great pick ups. I finally scored one of the walmart 3.75" Royal Guards. No Jyns or Deathtroopers when I got there, but I am getting closer!

It's killing me to not find the new RO 3.75 TBS figures. I want to get 6 Death Troopers for a squad, and I'm finding the likelyhood of that being very slim. The wave has hit in Missouri and Ohio, but it seems to have missed Illinois somehow. ><

I will be sure to pick up all I can for the Yarders here.

I went to Rhode Island Comic Con this weekend. I got in for free as one of my best friends had a connection. His sister-in-laws boyfriend works for a local radio station and got us free tickets. I didn't meet anyone this year, spent a few hours and bought some things, then called it a day. These are my pickups from Rhode Island Comic Con.

I got Poe's X-wing (Disney Store titanium) and one loose. The loose one is a Revell kit. I'm actually looking to pick more of these up.

Also got the "value line" Falcon and TIE Striker. The Striker I like, the Falcon I don't. I only got them as they are a bit bigger then Action Fleets. I'm probably going to get rid of the Falcon. Its very light and cheaply made.

Lastly got a blueprint of the Falcon. The shirt I didn't buy, but thought it was hilarious.

And tonight I picked up TFA Falcon and Special Forces TIE Fighter Revell kits at Target. As a huge Action Fleet collector, these are great items! The lights and sounds are definitely a bonus. They're like plus-size Action Fleets. I just wish they came with mini-figures for them. I'm going to limit myself though and just collect from TFA with this line, plus the OT Star Destroyer. I guess these will be my "replacement Action Fleets" so to speak.

Very cool though, and I'd like to add some weathering to the Falcon soon. The only gripe I have is with the TIE Fighter. The canopy won't close all the way. Hopefully I can get it to close somehow.

I included a comparison shot between the Action Fleet Falcon (TFA custom) and the Revell Falcon.

Love that R2 T Shirt which is a spin off from ACDC!
