Topic: New Star Wars Purchases

[Tamer]

Wow Phil that is a huge update. Nice. I so remember trying to get all those paint variants for the ROTS line. Nice memories I agree. Great Clones.

Well I got in my Target EXC Chewbacca. It was shoved in a box too small and the top edge is creased and they put a sticker on the back of it. Guess I will just live with it, but I am about done with all this pre-order stuff from places that won't ship it well, which is most of em now!

It's such a shame that they cut short on shipper boxes. But often the cards come damaged from the factory already with creases and what not...

Even a local collector who decided to become a vendor for collectibles himself told me that he received many cases of TVC figures with damaged cards - especially that Wave with IG-11 was affected.

These are my latest purchases from him and I'm so thankful that Hasbro updated the head for Shae Vizla! All the paint apps look amazing on her armor. I'll open the one on the right and display it with the first version that I got loose and was missing the helmet. So happy to have her complete now.
And as you know I cannot get enough different versions of this new ARC Trooper.
I keep my fingers crossed that Hasbro does such an excellent job on the all-new Clone Trooper as well.

Those look nice. I agree that new Shae is so nice. I don't know why I like the old hairdo on the first one, but I do.

[Darth More]

Yes, the hair of the first version is more accurate to the card art, if only her face looked as good as the updated version. Well, we can't have it all, right?

The Art & Imagery of The Mandorian - Volume One

Somehow this book was sold out immediately and/or taken from the market early. It was the time around all the noise between Di$ney and Gina Carano. But after I read numerous reviews online, this book also has some quality issues. So it might fall apart, be careful.

I pre-ordered two of them three times and each time my order got cancelled. But eventually I found two from a third party seller on Amazon.com for $13 each plus $6 shipping to Germany, which was just fortunate!

You can find it here: https://amzn.to/3vJV2NA





Anyways for some reason this book has become pretty hard to find.
But you can see an in-depth review here.

I might have to find one of these myself. You sure found yours for a good deal.

OK, I know I have been down on Hasbro lately, but witht these images they put me back on the bandwagon for both shipping and quality of figure and card. Boxes and packing and hence the card are pristine; easily high grade afa figures if I was doing afa.

Look at the paint apps on this Mando. I mean have you ever seen Hasbro do as good with this type of weathering?


And now this Vader. I might like the Rogue One cardback just a bit better, but I am not even sure about that! Easily the best  Darth Vader action figure of all time and I do not say that lightly. The inclusion of the extra hands is just next level imo. Why we can't have pack ins like this with all figures will perplex me from now on. I didn't mean to turn this into a review, but the detail and arty on this are amazing. I thought just what we need another Vader, but trust me you will want one of these for comparison's sake:

Thanks, I can also highly recommend these two books! They have over 200 pages and are currently 50% off - and worth every single penny! Both are definitely the very best deal of all Mando books out there:

I sure do like the price on these two. Thanks for sharing. I will get those on the front page.

Thank you so much

[Tamer]

You are quite welcome Dan. I know you were looking for her.

Hey, that’s so nice to see! That is one excellent figure making a gift of equal quality.

I found 6 of the latest TVC figures in the bay for 7-12€ each. All the TLC B-A-D parts were 5€ together. The seller even paid for shipping. With his help I could complete 2 more Astromechs, too!
