Thanks, I checked out Oscars cases and those are really nice. I'm going to have to get some.


Today's mail. I got in a complete Tusken Raider that I bought just for the staff. I got 2 Bespin blasters also. I'm disappointed in the shape that the A-wing pilot is in. He just doesn't look good:

The awing pilot and imperial dignitary both had heads molded in darker colors and it makes them look goofy when they have nose rubs. Rubs elsewhere aren't as noticeable as the face since it makes a brown (purple on the dignitary) spot show on the face.

Besides Oscar cases there are other case alternatives. In fact being in the UK, as Craig is, I would check gw acrylic before i would try to source from Oscar. Gw has both US and UK distribution and they make super products also. Iain, itfciain (or some similar username) is a direct distributor for them. Gw has a thread in the sales section here that is stickied if anyone needs to find them.

Yeah I'm already thinking of replacing this one. It's just not that great. It's ok, but not what I want.

This is today's mail Plus a beater x-wing pilot for the back slot of my Snowspeeder, beater luke jedi for my Jabba playset and luke bespin that just came with the lot. He actually looks great.:

@Broke - Nice haul(s)! Glad to see the repros are out of the window.

Look up the fastest record time for completing a collection..'cause I think you're gonna' beat it!

@Craig T - Super blue Max Rebo there! Pretty awesome. And super congrats to the VC Jawa. I would break him out as well

@Artoo_Detour - Great picture, Paul. Looks like a cool little academy you're running there.

I missed a $199 Yak Face today on a Facebook group by 5 minutes. I am kicking myself. That would be the one I need to score the most because it's the hardest to find right now.

I admittedly didn't have a clue what I was doing at that time. This is where I was "Schooled"

That's strangely a really great price, too. Was anything wrong with it? Was it complete?

Missing staff but great shape

Thanks Matt.

Agree Broke is seriously going for it - Broke which figures do you need to complete apart from Yak?

I think we should make Paul buy at least six X-wings - one for each of his grunts

A little something to add.

An imperial probe droid:



And this Darth:

It has really shiny boots, 2 line COO, but also a letter stamped on the lightsabre hilt. I am wondering if it is an early version???





I will try to get a clear shot of the COO and hilt tomorrow in daylight.



I plan to do some digging on the TIG to see what I have.

Nice vader and probe droid. Plan on getting the playset for the droid?

He can't not get the playset now!

Nice stuff! @Craig T

Lots of fuel keeping the thread alive.

Thanks guys ... heh heh it would very bad if I went for that right now... "No more this month" 'echoed' from the front room, when I threw it out there!

I have the imperial attack base, but buying the Probot and Cannon playset has always fell through. Maybe picking up some of the missing MIB toys would be a cool side focus after I get a complete set of mint and accurate figures.

nice stuff guys ,

Craig if its letterered its early on vaders hilt .

i got a sweet apple green head Poch yoda , he's minty for a poch figure too

Jealous, Bill. Congrats!

Speaking of Yoda, I picked this up at a flea market in Virginia for a buck.



And a few pictures of some of the games on the inside:

I need:

Yak face
Lumat
Paploo
Romba
Warok
Imperial gunner
Lando general
Amanaman
EV 9D9
Luke Stormtrooper
Imperial Dignitary

Craig - congrats on the Vader, and an early lettered saber is a bonus
The camera I use is a Fujifilm X-S1. A good camera though I rarely stray away from auto mode. Having good light helps, and I need to get some new and bigger backing cards as mine are getting on.

Bill - love that Poch Yoda, congrats!

Matt - awesome Yoda book, love those sort of oddball things with their line drawings and puzles. The crossword grid shape on Vader's face is perfect

How close are you to a complete set?

People keep asking me what's next and I think getting the right colors for guns is going to be next. I have the correct guns but haven't ventured totally into the correct colors. So I know I probably have at least 30% wrong.

Just a few more:

I think the Klaatu Skiff Guard is the only new one here:



All new:

Are you focusing more on completing the figures, or getting your weapon situation straight?

All of the figures look really minty. Any you want to replace?

Completing figures then getting weapon situation straight which should be fairly simple.

I want to replace my A wing pilot who looks like 9 miles of bad road.

Yeah, because of the nose rub. It took me longer than expected to get an Imperial Dignitary because of that.

Good idea, though. Any specific ones that you're saving for absolute last?

9 more to go

my last purchases,




Some items I had with a friend for free, I will check for authenticity later



A strange gun, does anyone know the origin of this weapon
