I've been buying a few bits and pieces for a while and I've been waiting for an item from the US for two months now. Doesn't look like it's gonna show, so thought I'd show you how I'm getting on so far.

Came across a few R2 items first and thought they were so cool. I basically need a further 2 R2 items. The bump and Go R2 and the Disc Firing R2 (which is what I'm waiting for).

I recently purchased the C3-P0 and I'm looking at other items as well.
There's a Vader and X-wing models.

Don't know whether you guys have come across these, but the workmanship and weight of the items are amazing.

This one's cool as it has the firing rockets, but also has a view finder with stills of the film

This is the same model, but comes in two different boxes

Cheers lads.

Not really looking at Popy or Takara carded figures.
I just like the obscure Japanese items.

There are a few more items I want, the two other boxed R2's, there are two die cast X wing versions (one transforms, well ahead of it's time!!) and a Die cast Vader like C3-P0.

Love the takara items. They look really cool.

I have been hoping to pick up a few takara chewie items but the funds are well and truly drained.

Thanks for the share

Well, it's here!

It only took three months to arrive but it was worth the wait as it's my favourite
Takara piece. Full working order and a great instruction sheet with it.

Hope you like it....

Just to give you an idea of size along side an Ewok.

It fires yellow discs out of the slot on the front.

Just to show you one of the exposed cog mechanisms on one of the legs (yes I'm sad!)
