Topic: New Star Wars Purchases

Look what finally showed up.

Oh boy, it's been a while. But seeing this makes it worth the long wait. They wrote how secure these boxes are in their latest update. Glad to see yours arrived in perfect condition. Gotta love strong carton and extra large bubble wrap! Can't wait to take a look at mine when I come pick it up in Michigan this or next summer.

I got a loose Force FX lightsaber of Darth Revan, now! Found it on ebay yesterday and spontaneously picked it up. The box got lost because the house was on fire, the pre-owner told me. He also told me that he paid 249.99€ when I bought it on Amazon two years ago. And he told me not to fight with it. He didn't and I believe him according to the condition. So all electronics work. And I got it for just 90€. On the flipside I spent 35€ on gas and the tip of the blade is missing. He said he got it like this.
I'll ask Hasbro for a replacement. And if they don't have one, I'll just fix it myself.
For 125€ with only minor dents here and there I think it was still a good deal and a nice 2.5 hours ride.

Anytime you can pick up a working Revan saber for that price you are the winner of finding the deal of the day.

My latest front door arrivals are as follows.
18" Ezra Bridger and Stormtrooper large figures 2 pack.
21" Chewbacca large figure.
Richard Petty Attack of the Clones Nascar race car mint in box.
Darth Tater mint in box.
R2 PotatoTwo mint in box.
Spud Trooper mint in box.
The great thing about the Tater Head figs is that all 3 boxes say "Mr. Potato Head".

Those potatoe heads are great.

Man, what a steal on that saber.

And the book is great. Feels like leafing through time. I said I have that one and I have that one somewhere too.

[DarthHawk]

No I'm not a quest for cars. I just pick em up when I find one for a great price.
Today I received my Jeff Gordon episode 1 Nascar race car.
Looks really cool sitting next to the Richard Petty car.

Man, what a steal on that saber.

Yes, 100€ to be negotiated was already a nice price. But that was before I knew the tip was missing.
Hasbro's customer service replied me within 24 hours and said they don't have an replacement for it because the item is FOB. I was expecting that. Not sure what FOB means, but it should basically say it's out of production and not in stock anymore.
They said I can still return it where I bought it, which doesn't apply for me anymore. The pre-owner could've returned it to Amazon if he really bought it there AND if the tip didn't break off in a "fight".

I'll now just fix it with a cast of acrylic plastic. Next message to Hasbro is already sent.

Picked up some figures in Düsseldorf last night. It’s a dude around 30 who started a business and earns some extra bucks by selling action figures. He gave me 5% on my first order at his online store. And most interesting here to say is that those TVC CLONE WARS figures come in solid cases! That’s why the B1 and the blue ARC Trooper are still missing. Revan was sold out instantly and he therefore has no replacement for that damaged card. I said it’s perfect for me to open then.

The trains were late last night and due to construction along the tracks everything was out of schedule last night. So it took me some extra miles walking last night, but at least I can now say that I took my Star Wars figgies on a lil roadtrip! What a holiday! I’m the pilot is a great action figures as well. So hope to see Bodhi added to the VC lineup, too.

Nice to see some new figs. Philipp you got some great ones. I bet I never see that TCW ARC Trooper.

I got in my Rebel Fleet Troopers:

Got some belated Christmas presents today

[JDeck]

I went ahead and got another case of 12 TBS3.75 WME scarif troopers. I already bagged them up, temporarily.  So with the ones coming from pulse I'll have 46 grunts, 5 squad leaders and 3 captains, for a platoon of 50 plus. That's it, not getting anymore.

Also got 3 rocket launchers from shapeways https://www.shapeways.com/product/3TLFLPQUV/imperial-rocket-launcher-3-75-scale?optionId=169968965&li=shops   , I'm giving to my scout platoon.
And a TL-50 heavy blaster for my heavy shoretrooper squad.  https://www.shapeways.com/product/ED6ZMYH2S/prhi-star-wars-tl-50-heavy-repeater-3-3-4-quot-scale?li=marketplace&optionId=169790394

This is amazing, JD! Such a great army with such cool accessories!

[Tamer]

JDeck is getting serious!

[Tamer]

Well it showed up safe and sound yesterday!

[JDeck]

Awesome! Are you going to open it?
Mines supposed to arrive before Wednesday. I'll probably keep it boxed until I'm ready to set up some photographs.
