[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 486406, member: 4095"] And I still have some of them safely in my collection Mark :D I've picked up several of these over the years but agree with those that mentioned the space issue as I have nowhere to display them in their clamshells. At some point when I'm having a change around I'll probably display them loose (although I've still yet to put my complete vintage 12" loose run on display so they will have to wait their turn). Some of these work better than others for me and I've actually stayed away from the human characters as I find the flesh paint on the faces (and faces in general), look a bit off to me for some reason. They are absolutely over priced for what they are but I picked some up in the US which helped justify the cost a bit. I can't see me really going for any more though as I don't have a focus figure to get and I think it's time for them to stop putting out Boba Fetts, what are we up to now, 5?! I know they have to recoup their costs but it's getting boring just putting out the same figure again and again with a different card image. One thing I think they were on the right track with was the Santa Yoda that came with the mini Boba Fett (that makes 6!). A mini run of these would work for me as the cost would be low and there would be no problem displaying them. I might even go for a full run of these and just think, we could all trim the Christmas tree up with a 12 back set :D Ian [/QUOTE]
