Where did you find all of them?! Can't seem to find any. Got a Death Trooper from HB the other day, but that was it. The R1 Stormie has got to be just about the best Stormie sculpt.

Received my 2 Ebay buys yesterday...Both Episode One figures...Battle Droids (clean figure and the shot figure) there are 4 variants of the Battle Droid...Clean..Dirty..Shot..Sliced (basically the same figure with different paintwork)...
Also picked up a minty Dark Trooper from the Expanded Universe line up (need 3 more to finish this small line up)...

Also received both of the Rogue One 'pre-orders' from Star Action as well...Fenn Rau and the Shoretrooper/Biston two pack...shame I didn't no about Colins Home Bargains Fenn Rau pick up...that would have been cheaper I bet...still never mind i've got it know...

My Fenn Rau came from Star Action figures as well - I put it next to the other two (£2.99) home bargain figures to tease my fellow modern collectors - I'm such a prick :lol:

I thought I saw FENN RAU in the pic! & I thought 'it can't be,not at bricks & mortar' As I struggled to get a pre-order...But mine did turn up on Wednesday (via star action).I didn't even see the Thrawn wave on the pegs down here,Had to get him (normal not the badge variant) online.Thought i was just being unlucky......Ha Ha got me :D

Ever since seeing Stratpack's run of large photo EU release POTF cards I've been looking to complete a run myself. It's taken over 14 months to find the 9 cards but I've eventually got there. The Rebel Commando could do with upgrading as has a little wear on the card and slight dent on bubble, but I'm tight and not paying the £18 someone wants on eBay :lol: I'll pick one up at auction for less. I've averaged about £11 or £12 a card including postage.

The ERG was by far the hardest. Grant put me on to one with bubble crush which I bought only to find a mint one within 24 hours!

No doubt this photo will show the wrong way up. Whichever way I take it it always ends up the wrong way....

I never saw those back in the day.
Were they released at the same time as the POTF 2 figures?
When you say EU was it only a few countries or all of the EU?
Do you know why did the UK not get these?
Sorry for all the questions, but they look great together.

As I understand it from Stratpack, these came out at the end of the Green Card run and immediately before Freeze Frames. Whilst they were available across Europe it seems the only one that made it over here was the Luke Bespin. Why that is or why these figures were chosen is a mystery. All of mine other than Luke have come from France and Germany except the Snowtrooper which came from the US.

I think that this is the only way you can get Luke Bespin, the Ewoks and Endor Rebel Soldier on non-Freeze Frame cards. Which adds to the mystery: why choose these figures? 6 that had appeared on regular green cards and three new to the Freeze Frame series?

I certainly never saw them until SP showed off his mint set. I just love the large photos.
