Started putting together a run of POTF2 before Christmas, in particular the Gig line. Up to 21, if anyone has any I'm missing for sale let me know, need the three long sabers for Ben, Luke and Vader too.
Also after Orange card, Canadian, Trilogos, American and Japanese MOCs if anyone selling although need to do a check of exactly what I've got.

Whilst they are between my main interests (vintage and current modern) I have admit, those do indeed look nice together. I looked into them and was surprised with the variety available, relatively affordable too and that isn't a bad thing at all.

I missed these a while ago then the Entertainer started to get this wave again, hunted all over for the Hoth trooper but patience paid off. Still need to get Cassian and Jyn from this wave but have noticed all the ones on the peg seem to have tape on the bubbles, some of them almost coming off completely. Was this an issue with this wave? Or is it a case of a retailer just slapping a bit of tape on damaged stock.
Very happy with these two, ill look out for Hoth Leia and Han for my modern Hoth focus. 8)

Love the concept figures, they look so good on display, I see you got Ralphs figure to, very nice 
I've finished my Red POTF2 Italian card run, many thanks to [mention]Stuart Skinner[/mention] in sourcing a LXW which was the last one that I needed.
I still felt a pull to the Dark Side that is Modern.. :wink: ...so thought what can I get next... :?
So the obvious was to carry on the POTF2 Italian run on the Green cards.
Here are the first eight, I understand that some of these will be very difficult to pickup, but hey that's part of the fun.
If anyone has any for sale that I'm missing please drop me a PM.
Many thanks.

Looking great, mate! And then you can move onto the Italian Gig Shadows Of The Empire cards.

Added bob fett to the collection
Sadly it came a bit beat up, the bubble is well crushed. As it came from the US almost no point sending back as eBay wouldn't cover shipping and customs handling so stuck with it - this is why i hate ebay... I have messed the seller, but don't expect anything to come from it. It will have to do for now.
Just general grievous to go now, looks like he will cost a fair bit for a modern figure...

Hey Roo, shame about the fett, I love the 30th line especially the concept figures
Nice work on that graded figure Lee, 95 I'd be chuffed with that in the collection

Nice score Mini! I'm biased because I was 7 or 8 when that came out and I thought the action feature on the jaw was the best thing ever. That's the first time I've seen that packaging variant.
Here's my latest modern piece:
Saw one deliberately hidden behind some pokemon product in EB Games (Canadian Game Stop) and couldn't resist. I tend to open these. I thought about cropping out the vectrex and vintage heavy metal but the pic lost a lot of character :lol:

Nice one [mention]The89thchris[/mention]I wondered when someone would post one of these.The89thchris said:Nice score Mini! I'm biased because I was 7 or 8 when that came out and I thought the action feature on the jaw was the best thing ever. That's the first time I've seen that packaging variant.

These are a bit too modern for me, but the Vintage range of vehicles is pretty impressive.
Apologies, I've not been over on Tantive for a while.

Great to see you over here mate, love the mando troop transporter, very nice
Well my 1/6 scale collecting has another one to add to the pile, this time a 1/6 scale deluxe sideshow R2, has so many options a very nice piece
It lights up but has no sounds which i don't mind as i'd hardly ever use that function anyway

Stunning piece Grinchy, nice addition to your lovely collection
Indeed very nice pick up sounds like you beat a staff member who hid it for when he/she was off shift. I have got the troop transport on pre order, It will get here at some point in the year :lol: :x :roll:

[mention]Mini99[/mention] Don't worry about being over at Tantive or not. You've got more posts here than I've got everywhere combined. :lol: I just like checking out what's going on over here now and then.
[mention]grinchy[/mention] That R2 looks amazing! I've thought about getting one before but I picked up the sphero electronic one on sale, that thing is way more impressive than it gets credit for. With a little black wash, it would look pretty great and all the light features are pretty screen accurate. Plus you can chase the cat around with it. :lol: I doubt I'll splurge on a Sideshow piece with that kicking around, but clearly the paint job and the drink tray accessories are brilliant on that one. :shock:
[mention]Sundancer Squadron[/mention] I'm sure I did scoop it from an employee. Makes it just a little sweeter. :lol: AND I've got just about enough 5poa Rogue One Stormtroopers to display it properly. God bless those guys who are going to spend three times the cost of the vehicle to fill it with the new VC stormtroopers.
