Wow, this is a truly amazing colletion of jungle plants, JD! Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your projects of Scarif!
I was thinking about this topic on here when I saw this plate, yesterday. The texture on the bottom and the color reminded me of the Droid Carrier that I want to build.
It was only 1€ and I'm going to use it as cargo platform for my 1/18 scale Droid Carrier.
Here's a comparison with a brick set that I found on AliExpress:

Store report: Smyths Toys Super Stores

Dresden, Germany

Wed, May 8, 2024







The Archive Line was reduced by 15-30% already! I just had to take 3 Stormtroopers, two for two of my buddies and left the last one for the next collector.



It was 20 minutes before they closed, so I had enough time to contact my friends while I was in store.




I was a lucky camper yesterday and hadn't expected that the new Archive figures were already reduced after only 3 weeks on shelves!

Great snag, Philipp! Sorry about the Snake Trooper for your friend, though.

Thanks, Jeff! Yeah, I have become quite deliberate about spending too much money on the hobby even if the price is good. It was a tight week, so I had to make a choice.

Nice finds. That mountain looks kind of like the one from Timmee toys.

Today's thrift store score!

The mountain and small vinyl dinos were $1.99, and the Chap Mei tree was $2.99!

The mountain and tree (sans green parts and ladder) are going to a friend and some of the dinos are going to my nephew.

Tamer, you said you were going to binge watch the show once the last episode has aired.
When can we plan on getting your exert review?

Since I have a whole shoebox of different jungle specific plants, I made some jungle floor soil/litter, like I did with my Endor mix. This one was pretty simple. I used some chunky (alot of bark) potting soil somewhare between potting soil and orchid mix, without perlite (little white balls), crumbled some dead leaves, dried sphagnum moss, some sand broken sticks, dried roots and tea bags. The bag varies from fine to chunky. I can now make modular jungle terrain pieces like I did with Endor. I need to make some jungle tree trunks.
