Topic: New Star Wars Purchases

Yeah, the paintjob on that looks fantastic. Surprised me a bit.

Got in a box from Pulse yesterday.







I have to say Pulse is doing a good job with the vintage cards and packing well.

I wish Hasbro would provide Pulse here in Germany, too! They seem to ship most of their products in great condition. I'd like to support them directly without a re-seller in between.
But I still think there could be more service for 50 bucks a year.

Got this ForceLink Wampa with Luke for 20€ shipped, which I'm going to repaint:

It was nice to see Pulse expand to the UK. We can only expect other countries to get the same treatment soon I hope.

You can't have enough Wampas. Looks like a great deal.

Thanks, Tamer! Well, at the German Comic Con back in 2019 Volker C. told me that he contributed to a better distribution for the German market. That's why TBS and TVC figures now also include the German language on the packaging and caution sheet now in the U.S. - guess not all American collectors are pleased about this.
Volker seems to be the Steve Sansweet from Germany, he is polite but keeps his distance from other fans. No pictures of or with him allowed, but he apparently he is very tight with Hasbro and the brand team. Maybe Pulse will be available for continental Europe later as Disney Plus was.

And yeah, it's my second Wampa and if I see a third one for a good price, I might get it. But for now I'm going to repaint this one and build a Wamoa cave for it.

Found this set of 96 miniatures by Wizards of the Coast for 75€ shipped last week. I'll share more details on our miniature topic here.

It came with 98 cards from the first 6 series of the game, 14 rares and 3 very rare minis, two maps and 3 instructions. Much nostalgia here!

I love WOTC Stuff. I still have my Walker and ATST of those. Nice stuff Philipp.

[Clonehead]

These came in my BBTS box last week.

[Tamer]

That is some good stuff Clint. Haven't bit on the 6" Bad Batch yet, but am sorely getting tempted. Trying to talk myself out of those Target Anniversary Clone Wars 6" Figures. Those Clones are looking good in that nostalgic packaging. I really enjoyed the Legacy line up.

Nice scores everyone. I'm basically "done" collecting now since I'm in the middle of huge move and honestly overwhelmed with my collections. Just been opening piles of stuff an/or sorting into SELL piles for my online store (including fodder). Basically broke too. So I've passed on lots of stuff recently. Like on may 4th a WalMart had the Mando retro case (most of it) & TBS deluxe Boba and how I don't even really care that my Heroes of Endor set didn't apparently get charged on Thursday.  W/E

BUT I cannot pass up thrift finds on the mega cheap (lord help me). A recent pick up was a Kenner Micro collection Carbon freeze chamber $5 (which will go nice with the enormous pile of micros I got ironically @ the 50th Star Trek convention in NYC lol) and the Baze/Tusken I got in a $1 bag of figures at Savers. Gotta love scavenging 😉

[Tamer]

Nice scores SID. I too like that Micro Stuff. Can't beat the price on that.

[Clonehead]

I payed the piper and got this one on eBay fir a high price
I didn’t think I would ever see him in a Target store, of all places.
I would like to have a case of these guys.

[Tamer]

Nice Clint. I don't live near a Target so I probably will never get one of these unless the prices go down a bit. I would like to have those two clones in this wave.

[Darth More]

Congrats on getting Echo, Clint! I hope you can make some nice molds of the new parts and accessories, so that the overprice will bring back some revenue...
