Wait, what?

Where are the black palace blasters? The Luke Stormie black blaster? The R2 pop-up sabers and black endor blasters?!



Kidding. Nice haul! I can't wait until you make that YouTube video of setting fire to the repros.

@Craig T

Unfortunately, yes. Those are the prices nowadays for those blasters.

One step at a time. You want me to set fire to the repro blasters? I can totally do that.

Ok now I have 3 Leia blasters on the way. 1 blue/black and 2 blue.

And a complete Zuckuss

Today's mail. I really like 4-LOM, he just looks cool:

Nice pickups. Your working through the line quickly. Gonna be chasing variants by next week.

I really don't think I have an interest in that but at the end of this I may get bored. I love the chase.

Also I think I do have a variant already. I was looking at 2 Klaatu that I have. 2 different colors and 2 different skirt materials

This upcoming week is going to be huge for me. So many things coming in.  I'll keep everyone in suspense for a while. I know loose figures aren't new here and lots of members have the entire line but it's big for me and I like sharing

Took some photos, will add them to the cardback thread on the site.

@trappedtexan: Bryan, that is one awesome cardback thread. If anyone has lili Ledy Cardback please let me know


@Broke - some more cool acquisitions, I agree with you... 4-LOM (or is that Zuckuss now?) is a cool bounty hunter!

Pub trivia: General Crix Madine was supposed to be clean shaven? Kenner made a mistake and gave him a sculpt with a beard. So LFL helped Kenner out and obliged crix with a fake beard for the scenes that he was in so that Kenner didn't have correct some costly moulds. I Learnt that from the collector panels in Celebration E. Quite cool how a toy company completely changed one guy's face to fit it's toy.

Talking of Broke - his enthusiasm has helped influence my next buy: It a mint Rebo Set...



Well I managed to get a copy before they sell out and it arrived today:



I must say - it looks great!!! I have had a quick scope through, photo are big and clear and I'm going to take an early bedtime so I can read it in detail

I still haven't gotten javi's book, but have heard all good things about it. Congrats on that and the band.

Nice pickups everyone!!

@broke - you know the ATAT Commander has the wrong blaster right? That's a Squidhead blaster. The good part is that it sells for more than the blue version

nice rebo band and book Craig!!! love that book!!!!

This is going to sound terrible but I haven't gotten totally around to learning which colors go with which figures. I just make sure they have the right kind. After I learn this I'll go back and fix it all.

Also in about 2 hours I'll have a delivery of 16 original blasters. Imperials, rebels, bespin.1 jawa and 3 leia. I can't wait to get rid of these repro blasters. I'm a changed man.

A few didn't show up today. Most did though.

All the figures that had their repro weapons/accessories replaced with real ones today. Everything in this picture is authentic:

Nice haul Broke! I like the shot of all the guns, looks a like a drug cartel bust photo.

Woah vinyl cape. That's one I'm sure I'll never get. He looks fabulous. Congrats on that huge score.

Also, a quick question. What's an Oscar display case?


PS I have 15 figures to go after I bought Klaatu Skiff Guard and complete Leia Endor last night.

I NEED 15 MORE. I started this journey on April 15, 2017 and I am almost done.

Nice VC jawa Craig. I am not a fan of graded but since it is already, I don't know if I would bust it out or not.

Broke here is Oscars site: http://www.oscarscases.com
He is in Mexico and has been making display acrylic star wars cases for a long while now.

Broke: Excellent Haul, your pace is lightning fast.

Craig: Awesome VC Jawa I would love to pick one up at some point. Well done Sir!

Congrats Broke on fitting out your figures with the new authentic weapons!

Craig - congrats on the VCJ, what a beauty  look forward to seeing him out of the case! Congrats too on the Sy Snootles band!  

Craig was good enough to send me his X Wing pilot Ackbar to go with my growing custom X-Wing pilots and personnel.

Here's a new group shot. Thanks again Craig!
