Interesting to see how close those two tanks are.

It really is crazy, they have the same dimensions! And according to Wookieepedia it really is 1/32 scale in this size...and I thought 1/24 scale should work for 1/18 figures...oh well I think it's time to build my own AAT from scratch...

Today the rest of my first order from a local dealer arrived. My TVC Clone Wars Set is now complete and I'm really happy about the Nevarro Cantina Playset, which is smaller than I expected.
The cardback of Bo Katan has several creases, so I take this as a sign and open it after TungHori let me down last time. The rest of the cards is in good condition:

- TVC Nevarro Cantina Playset: 59€
- TVC Wave Set of 4: 79,90€
- TVC Clone Wars Wave 50th Lucasfilm Set of 6: 20,49€ each

Well ordered on Sunday and delivered on a Monday. All they did was slap a mailing sticker to the box. Glad it got here in good shape.

@Tamer: Glad to see that your Clone Trooper Set and RC-1138 arrrived in good condition! So glad that Amazon USA indeed received more of those TVC Bad Batch Sets. So if there's demand, Hasbro can deliver more -  at least for the most powerful seller in the world! That's a good sign in my book.


Found this Clone Wars Set including Commander Jet, which I had missed a couple of times before.
The seller wanted 45€ shipped first. But then he claimed 100€ because Jet was worth that much alone he said. So at the end of the day he sold me all this for 80€ shipped:

Found this Red 2 X-Wing of The Legacy Collection on ebay for 75€ shipped. This time around it comes with the original box. The blaster is missing and the second (brown) ladder is from playmobil. So it's the second TLC X-Wing of Wedge Antilles that I found and came without the red ladder...maybe 3D printing will safe me here...




One of my favorite details of this purchase is the price tag on the box: It says 49.99€ instead of 84.00€ MRSP. And I identify it as a price tag from T.K. MAXX - man, I wish I had already known of TK MAXX back in 2009...didn't even know they had such big Star Wars items here in Germany back in the days...

Great stuff Philipp. The Legacy Collection gave us such a great set of AFs and vehicles.

I can remember going to get my Falcon and AT-TE. I think I have that same X-Wing somewhere. Gotta wonder if Hasbro is ever gonna release vehicles anymore?

So great to see that you finally got this pack to tick off your wish list. The AT-AT Driver looks cool, so do the Astromech and Mouse Droid. Thanks for sharing your latest score! As you know I'm a big fan of the Droideka. By accident I found this POTJ Mega Action Destroyer Droid, which I always wanted to have because it actually folds up!
It also fits the 6" figures really well because it's about 1/12 scale. I got it for the starting bid of 5€ and it arrived in good condition for 8,79€ last week:








If you're not sure how to fold it, here's a great review by Starpool295

Last week I got lucky once again by finding a second TBS6 Snowspeeder on ebay Kleinanzeigen.
I already got one of those new for 90€ on Amazon.de before it finally sold out there. Prices went up ever since then and now some are sold for 200€ or more...

But I found this one here and got it for 110€ shipped. This reminds me of how awesome it can be to be a loose collector and also reminds me of the basement of my cousins' in which I think I saw a Snowspeeder in this scale. It's more than 22 years ago and I still don't know what it was exactly. Did AMT/ERTL ever release a Snowspeeder at that scale? What I also remember is that they had a F-16 Fghter Jet in 1/18 scale on their fridge...impressive stuff and this Snowspeeder is so well done by Hasbro. I hope they do more vehicles for The Black Series and The Vintage Collection.

Awesome snowspeeder. Yeah, they need to release a few of those again. I remember for the anniversary of TESB they released one of these and the cloud car if I am remembering correctly.

That droideka is great too. I didn't even know what one existed. Looks great for six inch scale.
