[Mr. Black]

Treated myself and my girls on quite a few goodies at Celebration Europe III

- Two Chubby sets (Yoda/Mace/Obi-Wan and 3PO/R2/Jawa)
- Four cuddly toys (Rey, Chewie, R2 and BB-8)
- Bandai Ronin Boba Fett figure (wanted the Royal Guard, but it was sold out) I think I'll write a review, if that's okay with you guys
- The Force in the Flesh Volume II, which I had signed by Shane Turgeon, the author
- various buttons

Cool pick ups. And yes please do a review. I will make a button for it and put it in the Imperial Review Archives in addition to page coverage.

I picked up the Titanium Ultra Biggs' X-wing. It was at $40 so I bit the bullet, that's the lowest I've seen it. I took it out of the display case as I don't like them and have no room for them. I really like this one. Unlike Luke's X-wing, this one is much lighter, and the engines have red paint on them, giving it an engine glow. I just need Vader's TIE and I'll be caught up with this line.

I had an extra Biggs figure so I dropped him in.

Picked up an Action Fleet Biggs' X-wing with the white bands on the engines, and Zam Wessell's Speeder for custom purposes.

Nice pick ups. I just bought some Boba Fett Swim Trunks for $15!

Cleaned house at Walmart the other day. Bought a second of each. Couldn't resist at the lowered price of $14.92.

Ordered a set of TK Armor!

I bought 2 each of the Build-A-Weapon First Order TIE Pilot and Snowtrooper figures from ebay. They were $4.95 and $5.95, respectively, with free shipping. Total came to just under $22.

I told myself I wouldn't buy 5POA figures. The only 5POA figures I have is the Takadona set (for Maz), the rest went in the Falcon. I have Snap and Asty as my main focus is pilots (and Asty being a reference to the Beastie Boys factored in). Also Han as well because he was in his main outfit. Lastly I have the 3PO/R2 set and Chewie (made a SA version though). I usually only buy core characters, and thankfully most were in the SA line.

While I don't think 5POA is that bad for figures like the troopers, characters like Han Solo shouldn't get the 5POA treatment.

I got in the SDCC Exclusives yesterday. That Obi Set blew me away!

Got Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens (PS3) today. It'll be great playing that with my girls!

That sounds like fun. I need to try that with my own daughter.

I got in the new Toys R US 6" Astro-Mech 3 Pack. It looks pretty good. The paint job on the droids looks great.

I also picked up the 6" Astro 3 pack today. I wouldn't say I collect Astros but I do like to get them if they are assigned to a pilot. It's definitely a great set. Hopefully this means we see Wedge, Biggs and Red Leader in the 6" line.

I snagged a DeAgostini AT-PT off ebay the other day. I've always been a fan of this design since the original Rogue Squadron (and its sequels). They go very nice with the Action Fleets.

[Goldleaderone]

Took a ride later in the day with some friends to a few local comic shops. I ended up snagging a second OT Stormtrooper and TIE Pilot.

Picked up 2 Flametroopers from Dorkside, thanks to the heads up by JDeck! Figures came to $12, free shipping.
