Latest Modern Acquisitions

Yeah - i think holding back is the key now. Already pre-ordered the 4 re-releases coming up, with Anakin and Obi-Wan hope the Ashoka comes next. Maul is annoying as i hunted down the Phantom one before, but i can see key figures like Grievous and others being released if they do well. With no new films and TV only offering limited global opportunities (no matter how big the show) re-releases are a cost effective option and frankly the price of a lot of the VC figs is ridiculous - so bring it on....

Mind you the cost of all the damn star cases is a killer now

Picked this up earlier this week ... Korean sticker'd 8)

Ah, I saw this on a FB group this week.
I've been looking for a Korean R2 for ages.
Congratulations.

Everyone loves a Mando, also one of my favourite characters that should have had more story.

Ordered this off amazon.com in the US as it said it would ship here - and it did - in a bloody envelope.... a miracle it is in decent shape....

I was going to get this, but once I found out it was from Amazon US I changed my mind as I've heard nothing but bad things about their packaging.
So pleased that yours arrived in the condition it did.

The only time I have ever had success ordering from state side is if I order more than one item and it gets boxed, (i say boxed its still a bit iffy). You my friend got off lightly...

Still not sold on the Sith troopers slowly warming to them though, only like red on the ERG and kinky underwear :shock:.
Might try and pick up all three at some point in time though.

Absolutely Epic- well done mate- what a find.

So starting to dip my toe into some selected modern. Picked up these two this week as I was told they were the more difficult of the two REBELS figures to get hold of.

A first for me, a Black series purchase.
These are really quite impressive.

Ooh...its started! :lol:

So - a few weeks back I was concerned my Sith trooper would not make it from the US so ordered one of IDT along with a cheep stormie... might sell on in a bit, but not for now.

Can't beat a beautiful Mandalorian special :mrgreen:

Chiffy where did you get him from? Struggling to find anyone within the Uk that has him :x

I got the heads up from a mate that in demand toys had some US stock left over from their last con. They sold out within 5 minutes dude. From what ive heard theres gonna be no UK stock of him at all! Don't know if it helps with another figure that's probs not gonna last long but the heavy mando trooper from the 3rd episode is out and in stock at in demand and saf as of an hour ago so go, go, go before they go, go, go!!
