Was rather annoyed tonight, went to IKEA and bought a detolf. Nothing wrong with it, set it up. Drew the cables for the led. Glued the leds into place and turned them on... yellow! it looks like crap to be honest. They where in the bin under the same leds as I have in the other detolfs...

But at least one little funny thing happened. I went to toys r us to check for black series. I heard they will come there. No black series, but I did find a vc ahsoka on sale out. I just bought it, figured what the hell, I got a bunch of other ahsokas might as well have this one as well. Think vc only had one ahsoka. Saw now that they sell for 30usd on ebay.

Bought a wave of cw figures finally got Asajj

I love getting a sealed case of figures. I don't collect the CW figures, but if there is anything you're having difficulties getting, shoot me a PM. If I can't find it at retail, I have a friend with a shop that may be able to help.

I'll make some enquiries & send a PM if I have any luck.

I picked up the Vintage Collection Ewok catapult last night. Per request of Dr Dengar, here are some pics.

It's actually a pretty neat little rig. They made the whole unit out of a more flexible plastic, so once you push the hook into the base, all you do is wind the string. The post with the stone on it bends back, and you just let it go.

The stones are made of rubber, and sort of feel a little like novelty erasers, but work well. And of course we get two more Ewoks! Who came up with the names Stemzee and Chubbray is beyond me, but I just call them Ewok 1 and Ewok 2.

The package is just awesome!

Nice set, I'll have to keep my eyes open for one. Thanks for sharing.

Must have been the best day of the month , she looks great!
Box is very cool also.

My new additions. Only Darth Maul, not getting into the others.
The Black Series 6" Darth Maul one of my fav modern figures so far.
Articulation on this figure is really good for a large figure.
If you have or see any Darth Maul 6" in your local stores from around the world,
that looks different to these, and is not listed, different date stamps etc,
i would be interested in adding to the run. Will be happy to compensate for your time. 
I love the small packaging differences. Kinda like modern variant collecting. 

 

Canada- 31591 Date stamp.






Malaysia- 31681 Date stamp.





US- 31791 Date stamp.





UK- 31851 Date stamp.





Euro- 31861 Date stamp.





Japan- 31901 Date stamp.






Hope you enjoy the run.

Interesting packaging variations   Haven't seen the DM figure in my local store yet, he looks cool.

These are some of my more modern star wars items I recently got the light saber flashlight and laser pointer are stock photo as my photos didn't turn out for them.

Some nice additions in this thread. Thanks for sharing!  

The Republic Gunship landed today together with some my favourite aliens.  

Very nice additions Marco.

Thanks, Steve.

Some more new vintage sets arrived today:

My latest was something I wanted for a while an interactive R2D2 I am still getting him use to my voice
 

I had never heard about the interactive R2, so googled a bit:





Wow, that is a pretty cool R2!!   

How is he interacting with you, Larry?

That R2's great Larry, I love the detail!

Thanks for posting the vids Marco (I must resist the temptation to get one though).

He is slowly getting use to my voice but at time he ignores me like i'm 3P0 lol

  

Just wondering, how does R2 react upon saying "Midi-chlorians"' or "Jar Jar Binks"?

The same as the rest of us    

Hahaha   

I am not sure where to post this so I thought this thread would work.

I have wanted a Stormtrooper helmet since I was a kid and I have to say, at least once a year, every year since then, I re-visit the idea of picking one up.

Well,  this year I decided to take the plunge and picked up this EFX Stormtrooper helmet.

If I plan on ever wearing it, it will need to have some additional foam added inside to fit my head better. I will also be swapping the lenses out for smoke colored ones rather than the stock green... or perhaps add the smoke lenses to darken down the green.... not sure yet.

But man, this thing is awesome!!!
Once we de-Christmans-ify the house, I will have to plop it onto my Illusive Concepts Yoda!

Anyway... just one pic.



Sooooo very cool!

cheers!

Oh I just love that helmet I picked one up earlier this year it is so cool. BTW I never though about switching out the lenses I will have to see how hard that would be or do they just pop out I haven't checked to see.
