Topic: New Star Wars Purchases

[Darth More]

While I was looking for Star Wars Art Books that I don't own, yet, I found this one here by coincidence last weekend:

The Art and Making of The Force Unleashed including 10 character cards. These were meant to promote the Topps Trading Cards as well.
And if you're interested I'll review it! Paid 45€ shipped (figure not included, only for size reference):

That Force Unleashed Wave was in such high demand. It would sell out as quick if they made the same wave again I bet.

We all thought that wave would show Hasbro that they need to keep making waves like this instead of ones with the same A and B heroes and villians their research department told them they had to have.

Yep, shaking my head this morning.

Thanks Tamer! The seller of the book also made me aware of another book, which I then found on ebay for 9.90€ plus 6€ shipping. I didn't even know The Storyboards book before, at least I wasn't aware of them even though I might've seen the covers in the past. This was a great buy-it-now price especially considering it was $40 MRSP and it's like new!

The pre-owner of the Artbook is also a very talented dude. He draws comic illustrations in his free time and used the book for reference. He said he also worked with some popular artists. It's always interesting to meeting new people on ebay Kleinanzeigen.

That is an awesome book too. Love that one page you showed.

I got a box in this week from EE:







I don't know why the images rotated, but you get the idea. Minty Fresh too. EE knows how to ship right!

[Tamer]

EE ships so well!

Just found a ForceFX Lightsaber someone threw out.

It is a bit scuffed up, but I am going to take it home, clean it up and try fresh batteries to see if it works.

[Darth More]

Nice find! Fingers crossed, it's still working!

Grizz Frix is cool, all those pilots are hard to get at least when I was looking. They seem like power seller figures, with the cellophane wrappers, there's nothing wrong with that.

Just a short update on the power sellers on "feebay" as Tamer named it most accurately.
I contacted all remaining power sellers and almost all replied to my message to tell me that they don't have these figures from the exclusive Pilot Packs. No surprise to me because they only sell bootlegs or random scrap figures that are probably leftovers from the factories.
TungHori told me that he might have lt.ekelarc yong & r5-p9. But the answer was no after he checked his inventory.
Viperskingdom might had them, but they suddenly disappeared from ebay a couple years ago...so after tunghori left ebay in anger as I did, the remaining selection from Asian sellers offering Star Wars figures is rather...scarce.

[The Spectre]

Nice find! Fingers crossed, it's still working!

It does!

[Tamer]

Very nice Dan, that was a good find.

[Darth More]

It does!

Incredible find! So glad it works against all odds!

Got this book for 20.99€ on Amazon:



It arrived in excellent condition, again. You can read my full report here.

I got my Shadow stormtroopers from EE today. I only ordered 2 plus 2 each of the others, that haven't shipped yet. Then I went to BBTS to order a few more, to make a squad along with the other shadow troopers I have.

[Darth More]

Heey that's awesum! Thanks for supporting the VC Gaming Greats line! If you ask me, Hasbro cannot re-issue and repaint this new Stormie mold often enough!
Your samples look great.

  Yeah they're pretty cool. I like the translucent parts and the dlt-20 rifle they come with. I think that's the first one they've produced in recent years. It seems longer and made of a harder material than the previous ones.
My Scout trooper guys shipped today too. That's what I like about EE, they ship as it comes in as opposed to waiting to fill the entire order before shipping.

I like that star wars atlas. I'm kind of a nerd about maps and things. I was thinking the other day I hope they make an updated atlas with planets from the mandalorian as of now there is no known location of any of the planets except tatooine, other than the vague description of being in the outer rim.
