Still no new vehicles for either of the lines in today's Fans' First Wednesday...*sigh* Makes me even happier that I finally pulled the trigger on Antoc Merrick's X-Wing for 130€. Didn't go on clearance  and I'm glad I still got it a little cheaper because the initial sales price here in Germany was 159,99€.
Found this one on Kaufland.de (similar to Walmart) and it was sold by Electro Polis from Spain.
So I got it for 141€ shipped from Spain and it arrived in okay condition. Glad, I'm not a MISB collector:







Here's the link if you live in Europe and this is an option for you:

Nice X-Wing. Never saw this one myself. Glad you got it.

As a momc collector it would have driven me crazy to pay that and not get it packaged well.

Yes, I agree, but if you want the box in MINT condition here in Germany you have to go the extra mile to be safe and order from a specialist for collectibles like StarActionFigures from the UK.
Some etailers here in Europe still have it in stock for 149,99€ or more. I was going to open it anyways and if TungHori will ever list Antoc Merrick for under $20 I will probably sell my carded one, again. Saw a listing for 110€ last week just for the figure. On the other hand, people sell the X-Wing without the figure for about $70 in the U.S.




I also found some of the latest TVC figures on discount last weekend. They arrived today in good condition. The Vintage Collection figures were 13,99€ each instead of 18,99€.
RETRO Boba was 29,99€. Plus 4,99€ for shipping:

You got some great stuff.

I did get a package in from Pulse yesterday, I think it was the new Lobot. I will try to snap a pic before the weekend is over.

Finally got out to Ollie's and found the Vintage Rey by the hundreds. Most of the cards were trash, but I found a few good ones and I got my new Lobot

Very nice find, Tamer! I would've loved to see those pegs at Ollie's. Did you take a picture at the store?
I also need to get Lobot. Will definitely get him with my next order at TungHori - whenever that might be... lol

I am not sure if I did or not. I know I took a picture of one playset they had there too. The one from Solo. Every end cap had strips of these figures hanging. Most of em had some sort of card damage, but my daughter hunted up some good one.

If you're not getting your guns and backpacks from Audes https://ebay.com/usr/audes_workshop you're missing out. My fist purchase from him was a few different imperial blasters and a couple backpacks. They're super detailed. I'm afraid to take them out their baggies, until I need them but they look great, and he shipped them pretty quickly. Looking forward to ordering more.

Glad to hear Aude is still doing good. Man his custom projects have always been over the top.

No doubt his custom shop is the same!

He does good work. It's a material I'm not familiar with, as I usually get my 3d printed stuff from shapeways, it's like a translucent black, on some of the weapons. Seems pretty strong. If he's looking for suggestions I have a lot. I've seen files already for the Shoretrooper pistol, from Andor that leaked already. It's like a mini E-11, need that for sure.

Found a few figures the other weekend when we went to my daughter's specialist doc appointment (just routine):

I got my Fennec Shand wave case. In hindsight I probably should have gotten the half case because I don't need doubles of any of these except maybe the mando.

Fennec is phenomenal! Great smooth articulation with great range of motion and accessories. Everything you want in an action figure. Same with Ahsoka and the Mandalorian.
Not sure why they changed the articulation on the wrists, I've noticed that lately. Before the shooting wrist moved up and down and the other wrist moved side to side, but now theyre both up and down, which isn't a huge deal, im just used to the old way in posing figures.

The Mandalorian I noticed has holes in the jetpack nozzles so they're probably made from the Deluxe Boba Fett and can fit the fire effects in the nozzle holes.   His helmet dies have a moving rangefinder, but it's kind of loose. I hope the Deluxe Boba Fett has a moving rangefinder, otherwise the rocket fire feature is lame.

Looks like a nice wave to me. I hope I get the few I ordered in soon.

Wohoo JDeck & Tamer! I'm glad to see that you guys added some of the best 3.75" Star Wars figures ever produced to your collections!

JD, I'm always impressed how much attention you pay on the smallest of details! That mini E-11 looks really interesting in beige - reminds me of a machine pistol (M5 maybe?)


Found the Nevarro Cantina loose on ebay. Came with the Death Trooper on (badly) opened card. It's complete though and for 50€ shipped, it was almost a good price.






Take a look how Tim from Bossk's Bounty and Only One Kenobi open their figures on YouTube:
