I was on the hunt for some Tie fighter pilots, then two opened card backs popped up on ebay so managed to nab them. They seem to be a little thin on the ground for some reason, not sure why. I might try and get hold of one of the Inferno Squad versions too but I get the sneaky feeling we will get some more in the gaming greats line. I'm on the hunt for a scout trooper or two and one of those space troopers if anyone has some spare? Loose or boxed I don't mind. Piett still seems to be a little elusive at the moment, hopefully ill find one at some point.

A little list of what im looking to add, i'm still lacking some imperial droids though. hmmmm

Someone recently asked me (Ill apologise as I forgot who) who makes/sells those stepped risers. Honestly I have no idea, I found one random riser in Wilkos' for £3 so I thought it would be worth a try. Then a short while ago a bunch popped up in Lidls, they are rather strong and rigid so will do until I find something nicer. If I see them in store again ill give a heads up in case they are of use to anyone.

Yes I have been looking at those, might give them a try.

These two arrived today, I was in two minds if to open them but now I have a tough choice....I might have to get two more to keep carded. If you have not got the older releases that seem to of shot up in price for no reason what so ever then grab these two, they do look nice. Only little omission I can see is Lukes goggles? Oversight maybe or they thought well i'm sure people have some spares from the rebel troopers.

The Luke and Han are well worth it.
Mine arrived today along with the first few 40th empire figures.
Another load should arrive tomorrow and the last few over the weekend maybe?

These are the black series 6'' line, and bloody hell Monkey you really did go all out. A very nice haul indeed, I stupidly let slip the Luke/yoda pack and R2 like an idiot. -.-

Think ill hold out for a clean version and a new C3P0, I oddly enough do have any of their old releases.

Yeah - i am an all or nothing sort of person.

The SW ones were cheep due to damaged bubbles, the Chewie almost lifts off, but they were cheep :)

There should be three more to arrive, Luke Snowspeeder gear, Probe Droid and the Snowspeeder - i think at that point that is all the Empire 6" 40th stuff?

I will slowly get the other SW figures, but they are a bit much on a figure by figure bases so may take a while.

I can see Hasbro slowly doing all '96' figures in 6" vintage style, which means i can see me getting them :D

Looks like you are on top of those releases, nice one. I ended up ordering a 2nd Hoth Luke and Han to keep carded as well as a cheap as hell Hoth Leia in the older BS box to open, and keep the carded version sealed.

I may even get a 3rd Luke and Leia to use their bodies for some customs. Hmmm Toryn Farr maybe and some other random rebels for some variation.

Nabbed a 2nd Han, Luke and Leia to keep carded and the others to open. I have robbed the X-Wing helmet off of the Hoth Luke statue to see if it fits on Leia, the base Im going to use for the snow speeder. Hmmmm Ideas are running wild. 8)

I think, the Snow speeder Luke cardback has got to be my favourite out of the entire line closely followed by the rebel trooper. Might have to find another Luke as I want one for the speeder, not going to be opening the cardbacks.....Oh the pain :lol:

Nice pickups guys! i think that Luke Snow speeder card is really well done, one of my favourites, the whole 40th wave is pretty good though, i do love the rebel trooper, i hope we get a jedi rebel commando figure with the same face changing gimmick, not that i open them, but the option would be nice :D
