Picked up the Target exclusive Black Series Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape) He is a great figure and has a realistic looking face, but doesn't really look like Mark Hamill. He is pretty much the exact same height as farm Luke, which is good. Last but not least...... he comes with a stand!!!! FINALLY Hasbro does something good! Haha After looking at him compared to the latest X-WING Pilot Luke he puts that head sculpt and paint work to shame, and I thought the pilot one was pretty good. Waiting for a remake of Jedi Luke.....

Looks pretty nice. Great to see them get the face sculpt a little better. I have seen some awful Lukes in my day.

Wow Dan nice. I had a weird dream last night where I bought an entire Star Wars Section in a retail store at close out prices. I even bought two Rebel OT Era Tanks that were used at AT-ATs. It was a nice dream.

After wanting 1 for 20 years, I finally have an Episode I Fambaa!

Scored it at Zapp! Comics for less than half of what it goes for on eBay :)

Just happened to come across a guy selling this cool BB8 Sphero display, I loaded it up with a custom TFA trailer.

I finally got my Yakface. I had to pay above retail in loose condition. Don't worry, I'm not going to do what everyone thinks I'm gonna do, I'm not going to go on a rant about distribution. It just sucks. Wave 5 is out and I'm still catching up on 4. It's a gamble on whether or not the prices will increase or decrease on secondary markets. It seems they're decreasing slightly. Might as well get them now.  I just wanted to get Yakface just in case the price skyrockets. Yakface is the crown jewel of the wave. With all the articulation it's a shame he'll just stand in the background. I told my brother I should make a stop motion picture about the life and times of Yakface.

You guys are finding the goods. I need to go look for a couple vintage and a couple six inch figures.

I got the remainder of wave 4, Klaatu and Boushh Leia. I bought them both from Amazon, the Klaatu was bought from an independent seller, and was shipped in a box, with no card or bubble damage. Leia on the other hand, was bought Prime, and shipped in a bubble envelope with damage to the card and bubble. I'm an opener, so it makes no difference, but FYI, it's best to buy from and independent seller if you want a good card.

Klaatu looks great, there's nothing more to say. Leia needs work. I might make it a future project. The thermal detonator, obviously needs to be removable. The shoes need to be repainted. The bandolier needs repainting, the detail is nice, but you can't really tell. Personally I like plastic soft goods, so I will swap out the fabric. The helmet needs some paint/ black wash. The shoulder articulation doesn't allow the arms to rest all the way down, that bothers me, a little. Overall it's a cool figure.  I'll take it as a challenge. Maybe, I'll use wave 5 Chewbacca for a custom Boushh prisoner Chewbacca, the Saga one is really outdated.

Yeah, that new prime shipping in one day I think has them really cutting corners.
