Got these 9 figures from a friend for 66€ shipped. The Destroyer Droid was only 5€ and was supposed to be the TAC version, but no biggy. I still have a couple to customize.
Glad to finally have the TCW/MH Captain Rex of the Maul line from 2012.

Been awhile since I have seen a lava miner. Nice pick up.

Holy Bat Poodoo DM!!!
I've never seen Kit's Star Fighter before and I'm an avid starship collector.
Nice find.

Me neither! I've one with accessory, but without the coin. I pre-ordered the very first wave of the TAC, but eventually sold the case back to the comic store where I bought. Weird decision...
Anyways I was thinking of customizing the Miner and the Mustafar Sentry. They need at least some weathering. Otherwise I think they're fantastic figures! Man, what a variety of characters we got back in the days...

We neither, mate! I bought this starfighter thinking it was Ahsoka's! I was as surprised as you are when I opened the box. Just wanted to replace my damaged starfighter of Ahsoka. Plo Koon's and Kit Fisto's fighters are too niche for me. I cannot collect them all.
As I later found out, Kit's starfighter was exclusive to Walmart in the USA.
I wasn't aware of it either and even REBELSCUM don't have this repaint in their photo archive!

Thanks for commenting, Darth Hawk!

Found these two Class I vehicles from 2011. They were 20€ each plus 6€ shipping.
I wasn't aware of the two different box sizes that Hasbro used for the SOTDS Deluxe figures with vehicle. The one for Castas and Speeder Bike is much smaller in volume.




So much nostalgia here. They're like new and were packed exactly as they were in the sealed box. Lucky find for 23€ each! Missing the good 'ole days of affordable playing and collecting.

Yes vehicles, accessories, display stands, extra weapons in lockers, game cards and dice, B-A-D parts and diorama pieces...

Traded some Build-A-Droid parts 1:1 with a stranger in Mos Eisley and got some figures from a friend. The Old Republic Trooper was 15€, TCW Aayla was 7€, all other troopers cost 10€ each.




Funny enough, I got two Aayla figures with her left hand missing. This is the first one with both hands still intact!

The good ole days when you could find ALMOST anything you were looking for and it didn't require an entire paycheck to pick up a ship or two or a couple of figs.
DM is the man when it comes to collecting. He finds the best stuff and for great prices.

Here are my latest additions to the collection.

I found Paz Viszla at TARGET in Colorado Springs.

And the other two OT figures are from Hero Headquaters in Westminster, Denver area.

Look what I found sitting on the shelf today







Guess now I am gonna have to find that damn AT-STs. I told myself I was gonna pass on this, but man it just reminded me so much of Action Fleet.

Woah! So glad you could find this huge set at retail, too! The box looks like it's in pristine condition. This AT-AT found a good place in your collection.
Awesome find, Shawn!

Yeah, I would have been much happier with a fourty dollar price point, but it does have a lot of bells and whistles. I will try to pick up the other AT-STs if I can find em for decent.

On another latest purchase I got an AT-AT hoodie from one of those facebook shops and man it showed up all faded and awful. I should have known better. I will post a pic soon.
