I went to the F.A.C.T.S. Convention and I bought:

Silver Foil Magnaguard



Boba Fett



Silver Foil Commander Cody



30th Anniversary Lando Calrissian, went to Billy Dee Williams' table and got it signed :D





I also became a member of Teekay 421, the Belgian Star Wars Fanclub of which Jeremy Bulloch accepted the title as Godfather and has a column in every issue of the magazine with stories of his life and conventions he is attending.

Sounds like you had a good time at the convention!  I'm digging the Lando-autographed fig you got there, very nice!

Yeah, that autographed Lando is great!!  Mr. Williams gave Pat a *great* interview a while back, too.

Yeah, mr. Williams was very kind and he was smiling the whole time. He was enjoying his stay here in Belgium.

Well I caved to Tamer's peer pressure.  Just kidding.   :)  I bought this of my own free will.



Wow. You are killing me. Looks spectacular. I haven't found any of em yet!

I have been awefully busy lately so not much time to check in and post. Work and family and all that.... leaves me not much time.
My birthday was last month so I treated myself to a few goodies.
I took advantage of the Toysrus special and got the Rise of Boba Fett BP  for less than retail along with a free Nikto guard. The ships alone in this thing are amazing and this Slave 1 is HUGE. Very good thing to pick up, but the price is a bit steep.
I also got a few single carded figures at Walmart... Clone pilot Goji, the FlameTrooper, a pair of Camo ARF Troopers,  red packaging CW White Magna Guard, CW Aurra Sing, and CW Ki Adi Mundi.
Since I have not had much luck finding new items locally in a long while, I have searched far and wide on ebay for anything and bid liberally.
As a result I also managed to win 2 Windu JSFs, 1 missing a missile and no figs, the other complete with the  Ani and Mace  figs. Very reasonably priced and each for much less than I expected to pay. I also picked up a pair of V-wing Fighters, 1 complete and 1 minus all missiles... both for less than 1 boxed including shipping.
I also had been wanting the Anti-Hailfire Squad BP.... but not for the retail price... I bid for each fig in the BP repeatedly until I was able to complete the set or close enough. I managed to get the Squads Commander fig, 2 Aerial Trooper figs and 1 Gunner with cannon. Much better without 2 Stone sculpt troopers.

Unfortunately they dont have that game available for PS2, which is the newest game system I own. It makes a good case to update soon.
I was lucky yesterday. I went about 50 miles out of my way on my way home from work early, and stopped in an out of the way Walmart. The only new thing they had was the new Mandalorian Warriors BP. I picked it up immediately.
And in the mail today I received some of my Ebay purchases from last week..... 2 more loose Mandalorian Warriors from this same BP, the Gus, Chopper and SGT Slick from the Hidden Enemy BP, and the CPT Rex with sniper rifle from the ARC Troopers BP.
I am liking the new larger helmet and hairdo on Rex, and that rifle is pretty nice. Good candidates for casting.

Clone Commando EVO pack arrived by mail from ebay today!  (yes, this is pack #2...HAD to have another one!)
also from ebay,
Hoth Trooper heavy blaster cannon
4x Jawas (2x legacy, 2x TCW)


DRS, I agree on that sniper rifle!  I'm definitely up for one if Clint makes a cast of it.  Too funny - I saw a toy gun set in the Dollar Store that had a pistol almost identical to the ones that ship in the Mando BP.  I *almost* grabbed the Mando BP to use as younger and/or female Mandos.  Might do so yet.

Is that Hoth Trooper Heavy Blaster cannon similar to the Eweb? Not worth a Figure repack purchase, but good enough for Ebay purchase if the price and shipping are alright.
Or is this the rebel set I have not seen but in pictures?

Oh... I also got the TFU2 book afew weeks ago and have read it 3 times already.

Kinda like an eweb, but smaller.  It is the gun that shipped with the bearded Hoth Rebel a few waves ago.
