Don't really do modern as such (my son is collecting POTF2 though), but saw these two and just had to have them. HUGE is not the word, but they look awesome next to my vintage collection :D

I agree those massive beasts are just teh ticket especially when you put them next to the originals! Have you seen that new Darth Vader that's about 5 foot tall? It's in my local toyshop for around £150 if i remember rightly it's huge and makes all the noises. BTW i have a shed load of POTF2 MOCs to get rid of if you are interested for your son coming upto xmas and all :D

I was meaning to get in touch with you fella, are you still after one of these? Picked her up from a Tesco in Chepstow yesterday along with a Kylo Ren.

In regards to the POTF2 figures, could you send me some details as to what you got, would be appreciated fella.

Captain Phasma's - they are like buses!

Daughter came home today from her first foreign holiday (Euro Disney) and being the star that she is she took home a couple of items that she'd seen people were after.

Phasma for Chiffy and Hera for monkey-roo

Kieatky great that you picked one up, your one looks better as her one got a little crushed in her case and means we don't have the worry of sending it down South (did I mention I don't like couriers at the mo!) so this Phasma could be an opener for us :D


She got this little lot for herself - bloody love Logray

And a new R2 for my focus :D

Hi guys! Some fantastic pick ups there! That Logray is the dogs, my daughter would love that and if i show her she will be well jel, and i cannot believe, but maybe i should do as this community is effin great for stuff like this, that not only has someone got a spare phasma but a little girl out there has picked up 1 for me too! Gents i am flabergasted! Right then, I would be happy to take both or just take the 1 if Colin has no sweats in having a loosie. I will pm you with some POTF2 photos kieatky if you would like a trade, and also Colin whats your daughters main focus at the moment?
Speak to you soon fellas

Just catching up with this thread, what a lovely sentiment, you much be very proud to have such an aware a thoughtful daughter. If the figure really is going spare drop me a PM, but really it is the thought that counts and it made me smile.

Just like chiffy said, love that Ewok as well.

Q. Whats the best 'koo stark holding a dog Star Wars figure 2 pack'?

A. See below... this adds to my random and rarely added to sub collection of things which I find interesting. This is Camie and Fixer comic 2 pack, real nice presentation box.. etc

Hey grinch, Hasbro made one other comic two pack like that, it was a SDCC 2010 exclusive, Darth Maul & Owen Lars, the Cmmie and Fixer was. Celibration V exclusive from the same year.

The 61 (might be 62, can't remembe) other comic 2 packs were all blister packed with the main line backed up with exclusives from Walmart, Entertainment Earth and direct one line (the old Starwars.com shop).


For me they were one of the best modern sublimes ever made and disputed a few repackaged along the way we got great figures from all sources, including some based on the original Marvel comic incarnations and some vey random ones. It was one of the complete lines I didn't sell when I off loaded my modern collection, absolutely love seeing images of the comic packs when they pop up. Lovely stuff.

I hark this... its a great imaginative line. I had a lot in a joblot and sold them all. I was tempted to keep one or two, and it was hard to sell on Darth Talon, and the Sharad Hett tusken disguise figure (Ki Adi Mundi put me off). It would be an understandable line to continue with now there are a shed load of comics. I am awaiting the Jaxxon and Amaiza 2 pack. Surprised they havent done it. That would be epic.

Thats a great haul mate, you got all the heavy hitters in that lot!
I just got this set in, more coins for the collection, not sure how these fit into the larger set but they look nice in the display box

Didn't buy those figures, just grabbed a picture while I was in Tesco, shouldn't really have posted it in latest acquisitions :oops:

Coins looks beautiful mate, and you're right about them looking good on display, that's a fair few coins you've got now pal.

cheers mate,yeah I do have a lot of coins now! I thought you'd bought the lot and had them on your display stand at home, I need nearly all of those.
In the hospital at the moment, going stir crazy, least I can still access the boards :D
Cheers mate
