JDeck: These crates are absolutely fantastic to your accessory collection. They make such cool additions to your Imperial Army setup! Absolutely paid off for you to have picked them up!

DarthHawk: Wow, the boxes of those 12" figures are in fantastic shape. The good condition is even better considering they're almost 24 years old by now!

This TVC Mandalorian Airbone Dude just had to come with me today when I found him for just 12 bucks today at my local SmythsToys:



The quality of 3.75" figures is at a new high recently. What a time to be a collector.

[DarthHawk]

Airborne Trooper!!! Nice find JDeck.

[Tamer]

Pretty cool to see those twelve inch figures.

Man, too bad we can't find clearance prices like that where I live. Nice price on that Airborne Trooper.

Yeah, technically this Mando Airborne Trooper was 40% off the MRSP, for 12€ a great figure without a doubt. But there are currently even better deals on TVC and even more on TBS like in the UK and the U.S.

Back in December I found this mixed bag for 90€ shipped. It was sent back in January and today I could finally open it:

- Kaadu: 5€ this is my first one, I like the quirky running feature, but isn't there a way to display it? Now I miss the cancelled Battle Pack from back in 2012 even more..
- Battle Droids and Bom Vimdin: 6€ each
- Speeder Bikes and Bespin Guard: 8€ each - Finally got Cad Bane's vacuum cleaner and am impressed by all it's hidden features. The black Speeder is an interesting one by itself. More on that later, but it's going to find great use for Inferno Squad.
- Droid Tank and Nikto Skiff Guard: 10€ each - Man, I wasn't aware of how cool this CIS vehicle actually is. Well done, Hasbro!
- Ronto: 20€ - I finally got one, already found its Jawa on a convention years ago...

Looks like a great set to me. Nice.

Tuesday Mail Call!

I received an awesome trade package (with extra goodies) from a friend on Facebook!

[Tamer]

Now this is one of the best figures I have seen in awhile.



I got my Scorch, but I am not liking the windowless box. It looks so different to the other 3. We should have been able to get this one in the regular packaging.

[DarthHawk]

Always wanted one of these. Finally found one for not a lot of credits.

[Darth More]

Wow, congrats to adding The Maker himself in Stormtrooper disguise to your collection DarthHawk! This is the best version out there in my opinion. So hope Hasbro will give us a new one with grey hair in TVC some day. I'd love if he came in a red or blue shirt, jeans and white trainers.

[Tamer]

Nice Ron. I have one of those around somewhere and they made one in six inch form too.

[DarthHawk]

I had to spend the $10.00 to pick up this one.
Celebration III was my first Celebration and the best of the 6 I have attended.
What I didn't realize until it arrived today is that this is a talking Darth Vader.
Even better, after 18 years the voice sayings still work and sound just as they would
have in 2005.

[Tamer]

Nice Ron. I have one of those somewhere. Lord knows where I have it.

[Tamer]

Feels like forever since I posted here. I did preorder this one. Doubt it suprises many!






I don't know how it showed up as good as it did as the box was smashed on every corner and had holes in it. Where it said fragile with care looked like and accordion crush.

[Darth More]

I had to spend the $10.00 to pick up this one.

Wow, nice find! I remember when this cost MUCH more than 10 bucks! The packaging is so nostalgic to me. Like Shawn the ROTS pulled me into the hobby as well! Glad you could add this beauty to your collection!




Tamer: Very nice! Did you pre-order the AT-ST on Pulse? I might get it there, too. It's $99.99 in the U.S., but 119,99€/$129.59 in Europe. The paint apps on this one are very good. I like them more than on the first TVC release from 2012.[/size]

I found this book on ebay. Starting bid was 80€ and I was the only one bidding. Here in Germany the fix price is 150€ for this masterpiece of a book. It's worth every cent, but I'm glad that I got it for almost half price. It's 13 lbs./6.4 kg. The second, red version of Episodes I-III is on its way for 97€.



The cover is nice and shiny with a wonderful haptic. I'd do a review on it, if it wasn't in German. I can recommend to add this book to your collection. There's also a smaller version of both Archive books available for $30 each. Amazon links recommended:
