Topic: New Star Wars Purchases

Nice pickups. I haven't ordered the AT-ST yet. It looks better and from what I understand it poses better. If I can get a discount at EE  I'll get it. The TBS one does suck though, I might have to.

I did get 2 speeder bikes. They are an improvement over the TRU bike and scout. The scout helmet looks better. The balljoint allows good range of motion so he can look forward. new lower legs and rocker ankles. The knees seem to have better range of motion, so he doesn't sit so high up on the bike, doesn't exactly sit on the seat but it's a slight improvement. The handlebars on the bike are straight unlike the TRU. The stand is good, it has good range of motion and balance for banking positions. Overall a solid improvement.

Hmmm... they do look better.

Nice book too Philipp.

Got the Bunker from EE. It's really well designed, easy to assemble and it's sturdy and stable, unlike the POTF2 bunker. I was hoping the moss was only spot glued in place but it's welded, and not going anywhere. If you look on the reverse, you can see indentations where the moss pegs in and is glued. It's a majority of the surface area. They really didn't want people taking the moss off. If I did, I would have to do a lot of body filling. The figure is cool same as the  biker from the speeder bike set, but a removable helmet. The helmet is soft, but not distorted. It'll work. I can only use it for jungle, tropical or forest set ups.

Kinda sad they didn't make it so that moss can be taken off. Still pretty nice.

The "Star Wars" lightsaber builder lot was only $.99 at American Thrift in Passaic.

Nice. I remember my daughter having fun with this build a station at Disney. Not as good as Sabi's but nice.

It's been 4 years since I got this holy figure in the bay for $22 shipped. A friend of mine kept it for me since and my dad brought it to Germany.

George will get a special place in my collection. I got it for a custom figure of the Maker himself, so I have to make a silicone mould of it. Imagine how brilliant he would look with today's quality Hasbro can achieve in 1/18 scale. I hope they bring justice to the scales by making one for TVC as well, soon.

The second Archive book arrived today and while I'm missing words right now all I can say is: GET THESE BOOKS WHILE YOU CAN!








I got the version about the Prequels English this time around, so expect a review!

[Tamer]

Man, you are getting all kinds of goodies.

Love those books.

Found a couple more books used! The KotOR novel was 5 bucks and the 30th Anniversary Collection book only 10€! FialaFernbrugg recommended it to me. And as if the price wasn't good enough already, it arrived in excellent condition including ALL insert items plus 2 CDs! And it written by Steve Sansweet. Man, was I lucky here.
Shipping was free.

Very nice.

Today's scores from while out running this morning's errands!

The POTF2 Ronto was $3.99 at American Thrift and aside from a few light scuffs, is in excellent condition for a 26 year old toy!

The "Mandalorian" figure was $1.36 at GameStop after the extra 30% off clearance prices and my $5 monthly reward!

[Darth More]

Ha! 4 bucks for a Ronto and little over a dollar for a TVC figure. Pretty incredible finds, Dan! Good times.

This set was shown to me on the frontpage of an online fleamarket. The seller had been trying to sell it for more than a year. So he offered me to cover the shipping costs. So I got all this for just 25€.
This blue Republic Fighter Tank is the rarest of all three versions as far as I know. And it reminds me of the good old days when Class II vehicles still were a thing, were called medium size and retailed for just $19.99 USD. Good times. I got this commemorative tin of The Clone Wars MISB, too, but it was too good to open.

This was a lucky find for a true fleamarket price. If you want to see what I found on a local fleamarket last weekend, click here.

I haven't seen one of those republic tanks in years. Great find and price!
