You can't go wrong with the Anovos Stormtrooper kit!!!

It sure doesn't seem so. The more research I do the more accurate it seems. I am hoping I can get to an armor part with my local 501st garrison here real soon to get started on it. I need to find a place to get my undersuit, boots, and whatever else I need.

Picked up a few Black Series figures recently.

- Two 3.75" Biker Scouts. Just looking for some TIE Pilots and AT-AT Drivers now.

- Two more Snowtroopers from Target. If anyone has 2 spare pauldrons (black and white) let me know. Thanks.

Great pick ups. Before I forget if you want anymore 6" FO Snowtroopers or Flametroopers, Dorkside Toy has em for $7.50 in four packs.

I ended up taking the Snowtroopers back. Nothing was wrong or anything with them. I wanted to make 2 customs with them, one with a white and one with a black pauldron. It would be easier for me to just pick up 2 Snowtrooper Officer figures and just repaint those pauldrons. We still have 2 more movies to get through anyway, they might be made in the future.

I scored an Action Fleet Y-wing off ebay last night (Gold Leader's version) for $1.99 ($5 after shipping).  Its without any figures or the engines, but that's fine because I have it for a planned custom.

Hope others scored as well!

I sure didn't. I got an email they were back in stock yesterday morning, but the link they sent didn't work.

I almost...ALMOST bought two of them because I think they'd look nice displayed with one another, but I couldn't get myself to buy them because I don't want to support the 6 inch line.  :-X

Yeah this was my second one. I was originally going to just buy a Biker Scout figure separate, I didn't really care for the bike. Have one riding the bike, the other standing next to him on display. At that price though it was hard to say no.

Apparently they went on sale again today but I was at work so I couldn't relay the info again.

  I realized the other day I needed a good 3.75" Darth Vader figure.  So I looked around, read some  reviews and decided on the Black series #26 Vader. Some say it's the best, others say it's the worst. I think it's tremendous. Yeah, it's ROTS version, but I don't  really  care, it's just a great figure. The head sculpt looks good, right shape, size and it isn't  deformed. The articulation is  superb, and the joints are well hidden. The best thing about it is, it doesn't have the soft goods chain around his neck. I hate that,  it looks like Flavor Flav,  or Vader flav. So vast improvement in  that department. A lot of folks complain about the head falling off, but I've had no problems at all. The only complaint  I have, is the sheer cape, that all Vader figures have, I could replace it easily  enough, if I can find suitable  material.  So cool figure. I give Hasbro  a hard time sometimes,  but i have to give them credit when they make a great figure.

You are getting some great prices. I got in my AT-AT Blueprint thanks to you GL1.

I also got in some AT-AT Door Lights! These are the ones that attach to your car doors and then shine down at night.

Awesome! Did it come in a frame or was it just the blueprint itself? I'm going to get the Snowspeeder one shortly.

It came in a frame and had a Star Destroyer One on the back side. I definitely called that a plus!
