Picked up a POTJ TIE Bomber today. Even Hoth like conditions didn't prevent me from picking this up! I like to grab the latest version of vehicles. However with the Saga version it was essentially the same, the only difference being is some blast marks which I didn't like. Hasbro released one in 2010 but it was a gray paint job. I went with the POTJ version, which is the dark blue and more accurate color.

Also picked up a Dash Rendar and Han Solo figure, both for $2.99.  I sold a Walking Dead Daryl/Merle Dixon 2-pack which covered these figures. I bought them as fodder as I'm trying my hand at the boil-and-pop method, then dremeling the head so its a ball-jointed neck.

I was able to get my order in for 6" Baze and Chirrut from Hasbro Toy Shop's website this morning.

I also picked up Crix Madine figure for cheap. With him playing a major role in the Rogue Squadron games, it made sense to pick him up. Lastly I finally picked up the Dagger Squadron B-wing. Now I'm all caught up with my pilot collection.

I like that version of the B-Wing. I picked up a new at-at driver.

Ordered yesterday morning from Hasbro Toy Shop's website, and already at my home the next morning around 11.  I only did standard shipping. Impressed with these!

Picked up a 2010 Vintage Collection TIE Bomber from ebay the other day. While I like all the features on this one (so glad they made a sliding hatch for the bombs) I'm not too fond of the color on this one. I have the POTJ version and prefer the dark blue on that ship. With this one the color looks teal to me. When comparing it to the POTJ version, it looks like its a faded blue (its not, just looks like it when comparing). I like the color on one, but the features on the other. I'll be keeping both lol.

I took a comparison shot so you could see the difference.

Picked up another Crix Madine figure, and Jan Dodonna. Also another Luke pilot figure. Both Madine and the Luke pilot figure were used for customs, seen in my custom figures thread.

Also picked up R5-D8 and R5-F7 from ebay for real cheap. Both were under 5 bucks each. I see people wanting R5-F7 for about 20 bucks. Only gripe is he is missing the antenna.

Lastly, another Luke pilot figure from the comic pack Heir to the Empire. He's in half of a pilots uniform so I guess it counts lol. I was always on the fence about getting this figure, but found him for cheap on ebay. Now my pilot collection is up to date.

Nothing new on my front, glad to see some folks finding a few tidbits. I am still after my at-at pilot figure and might try to pick up the snowtrooper with clean boots and then the one with dirty boots. If I see em.

Another purchase from good old Tunghori came in today.
The Imperial Scanner Crewman is getting kind of expensive these days so it was a good opportunity to pick these guys up.

Good ole Tunghori. Wouldn't you just love to see how he or she gets all those figures.

I'm not sure I really want to know. The Scanning Crewmen are missing the Insignia in the left upper sleeve, so I guess that his figures are at least partly being pulled by quality control staff and are either stolen from the trash bin or he has contacts in the factory who steal them and sell them to hin.
I don't think that Hasbro sells B quality outlet-style.

Picked up "Arvel Crynard" from the POTF2 line off ebay for a custom. I say that in quotations because he was mistakenly labeled as Crynard. He is supposed to be Lt. Telsij, the Y-wing pilot who says "There's too many of them!"  As you can see, they gave him a Y-wing helmet, a B-wing flightsuit, and an A-wing pilots name. I popped the head out before realizing I forgot to take a photo lol.

Also grabbed Ten Nunb and Ekelarc Yong for customs as well.  I also grabbed a POTF2 A-wing pilot for cheap. I figured this would be a good display with the other A-wing pilots.

Lastly I picked up the Black Series 6" Jyn Erso (Eadu) from K-mart for $12.50.  The K-mart just over the state line is going out of business and will close in April. Everything is 50% off, so I'm glad I waited on getting this figure.

Picked up an extra Zev Senesca figure for a custom, which can be seen in my custom figures thread.
