Topic: New Star Wars Purchases

I wasn't aware of the identity of the TCW Clone Trooper that came with this set. Just thought it has a cool design. Now after some research I found out it's Commander Blackout which was a Toys "R" Us Exclusive in 2011:

Nor did I know the CW57: Stealth Operations Clone Trooper:

Got those 6 for 17€ shipped - some more custom fodder.

Philipp once again you find some great deals. I really like that blue arc looking trooper in the upper right of your last post. If I can remember correctly I think that one came with this cool quad cannon weapon too.

Nice haul DM!
I went to Walmart yesterday and they actually had TVC there. All but Gonk, so I got a Stormtrooper Luke and K2-SO. I skipped the clone, because I don't collect clones, they're cool, but I can't go down that rabbit hole. I get one next thing you know I'll drain my bank account on eBay buying all the different types. Did that with ewoks several years ago. No doing it again.

I'm not super impressed with K2-SO. Probably because we should have had him several years ago. I already pre-ordered him and Gonk anyway, but it's a decent army builder type. I have at least 6 of the 5poa ones, and they do what I need them to do, but it's nice to have a couple for walking around.

Stormtrooper Luke is alright. I noticed the exposed shoulder hinge seems smaller, it lines up with the crease in the shoulder armor. The head is really cool, the hair is molded separately from the head, which gives a cool effect. The E-11 actually fits in the holster. They're decent figures you can buy multiples of, even Gonk you could get at least two.

So there was this GameStop by my house that is closing...

Tamer: Thank you, Tamer. Please, let me know if you don't want me to post ALL of my recently aquired stuff on here. Just thought it'd be fun to show you what's available over there...
You're exactly right, this ARC Trooper is based on the ARC Heavy Gunner of the original Clone Wars of 2003 and was released as part of The Legacy Collection in 2008: http://rebelscum.com/TLC16CloneGunner.asp

JDeck: Thanks, it's always good to find loose stuff online, but it's also quite time-consuming. You gotta be quick before someone else gets the deal. But it's by far not that I buy every figure I see.

I'm glad you found the latest TVC wave - even at WALMART!!! That's as phenomenal as it can be! SmythsToys got them here in Germany, too - even the GONK Droid! And the UK etailers got them already.
I'm sure you'll get a couple of them as well. I bit the lemon and bought a loose one from tunghori. I love the pink background they gave the card, so I might also buy one carded...
It's interesting to hear your thoughts on K-2SO! Is the lack of detail the reason why you're underwhelmed? I agree - Hasbro is darn late on those, but they usually take up to 2 decades to update or deput a character right? *sigh* I'm absolutely thrilled to finally see K-2 and Chirrut Îmwe in the TVC line! That means Baze Malbus and Krennic must be underway, too right (read 2022 release)?
Some say 2021 will be a great year...well, this year is not over yet, but it didn't start well.
Also some good thoughts on Clones. Speaking for myself, I'm absolutely sold to Clones since my first encounter with Star Wars Action figures with the ROTS #41 Clone Trooper back in 2005. Can't help it. But I do have a collecting focus - everything I like! But I've become quite picky. And I'm thankful every time I see them, that I do not collect any Sequel related stuff and that those Funko POP! figures don't appeal to me at all.
 
The Spectre: Man, it's sad to see another GameStop go...nice score though! Congrats - that was an amazing deal - especially compared to MRSP. Haven't gotten this one yet and I don't think I will even though it's an excellent vehicle. I just have to make the cut somehwere...

K2-SO is a great figure, I would consider it definitive, but what took so long? It's the 5poa one with extra articulation. I wanted this figure for so long, then the the TLJ version of K2-SO came out, and I just became content with that. Since Rogue One we've had three movies, Rebels S3&4, Mandolorian and TCW S7. Now I have an entire new list of figures I want. Chirrut looks great, can't wait for that, he might also make decent custom fodder.
I was playing with it, once the joints loosen up, it is really great. It's a good figure.

Glad to hear that new wave is hitting. Might be time to look online. I can't even remember the last time I went in a store; probably to get gas I am thinking.

And Dan, that is one nice score. We had a Gamestop go out too and I should have went and looked!

Thanks! I got REALLY lucky yesterday

I also saw the new Vintage wave at Walmart, but The Power Droid had already disappeared before I got there.

Got a box of awesomeness from The Mad Jawa today!

Check out the great 3D printed cargo boxes and Rancor hunting trophy!

[Darth More]

Pretty cool stuff! Those crates look quite familiar to me...maybe LegacyArts uses the same STL files for those...still need to paint mine.
Nice haul, Dan!


As you probably know it’s quite hard to find original accessories from Hasbro. As soon as the products go on hiatus, Hasbro’s customer service no longer provides replacements for them. From then on it takes a lot of time and patience to find parts on the secondary market.
Fortunately a buddy of min sells some accessories at the moment and he had five missels for me to complete my Vulture Droids, which I all got used over the years:

[Tamer]

Nice stuff guys. I am waiting to see if I can find a deal on that new six inch scale falcon. Maybe a Labor Day Sale or something!

[The Spectre]

After work Five Below score!

[Tamer]

Nice Dan. Man, I haven't been to a five below in awhile!

[The Spectre]

Today's hauls (so far- I am probably going back out after I eat lunch).

The dinos and Zilla were only $1 each
