I do like that new POTF FX 7 and went out of my way to pick one up loose from our own Darth C "thanks again, Chad" and still feel that he could star in a non clone themed future diorama.

eh-heh.

heh heh.

Just you wait, amigo...first the stories, then the illustrations for them!

oh...oh crud... I already DID a rough-up of the Galaxy Shop scene!

I hear ya Wayne I recently noticed the Comic Packs around here are $17.79, and the Battle Packs are $29.79, I can hardly justify getting extras to customize now let alone army build! I'm really considering hanging up my hat on collecting, it's just gotten so frustrating that you can't find squat  then when you do you can't afford it anymore because it just went up another 20%!  :(

Yeah, I've actually looked at going into other hobbies, because honestly, if I'm paying this much,  I'd rather be golfing, or something like that, :)

I don't know about golfing never been the biggest fan I go with friends occasionally, but I could go to more Seahawk games!

Well, my alternate hobby is shooting.  I think even *with* reloading, one magazine-load would cost about the same as one SW fig.  And you can easily dump a mag downrange in under a minute.

One good SW custom figure project could take me up to two weeks and make money for me.

Guess I don't need to comment about golfing then.

No, buddy. I am sure that you would have been all over that one, earlier.

Now, I will say this...

...I *might* be enticed into golf, IF they let me use the nifty golf-ball launcher that screws onto the barrel of an AR-15!!  Launches a golf ball using standard blanks.  If I lived in the plains of OK again or could use it on a golf-course...I'd buy one and a crap-tonne of blanks in a HURRY!!!

Oh boy.
Just to give you an idea about pricing for SW figures here in Germany: you get a recent CW figure at the We Be Toys for next to 12 EUR. That's something around USD 14 per single figure.
The shop in town charged 35 EUR for the Battlefron II Clone pack, about USD 40.
This is crazy.

Kurgan;
Believe it or not, that's what we had to pay for the Battlefront 2 fig set, i believe.
To buy a figure here and ship it to you would be about $2 us cheaper if it is MOC.
Loose would be cheaper.
