Oh yeah. Nice figure. I need to go figure out where mine is. I know I have at least one, probably a few. That accessory needs to be molded and casted.

I-am-boba Fett sells a Camtono on eBay. I ordered one today for a custom figure I'm working on. It's a bit pricey to be honest, but the lid is removable and comes with 5 beskar steel plates.

Now who would want a casting of a space age ice cream maker?

  On a whim, I went back to the same target to see if they had re stocked since my last trip and they had. No more probe droids but they had the  Degobah R2 and I picked up the tie pilot and another rebel trooper. I gotta say, Shawn, these cards are quite minty.

[Tamer]

Those cards do like nice Clint. I am definitely gonna pick up this wave and probably a few Rebel Soldiers. Hopefully that wave was packed with more than one of those.

I need to see if I can find the ice cream machine. Update, here is the link if you want one. Looks like he is almost sold out:

Guess that’s one of the Tac figures I should of kept.
I always thought that mr Hood looked like he had a beer gut

I went into a local vintage variety store and Picked these two 12 inchers up for my collection in the stairwell. I’m not sure where I going to fit them in the display area though.

[Tamer]

I like the older 12 inch stuff. I of course have my drivers out. Nice Clint.

Wow, very cool 6” & 12” figures, indeed! Hasbro’s 12” figures were great back in the day when Barbie was still great.
I know some Sideshow/HotToys collectors who use them for customs.

I could also fill some gaps in my collection with some figures of The Legacy Collection:

- Leia (Jabba’s Slave) - 30€
- Owen Lars - 25€
- Yaddle & Even Piell - 24€
- Cloud City Wing Guard Utris M’Toc - 15€
- Padmé Amidala - 12€

They all came without the B-A-D part, so it rather was on the pricey side...

SAGA’02 Dwarf Spider Droid - 15€

[Tamer]

I remember that Slave Liea. Doesn't she come with a different body part too? I remember that wave being there in droves at my local stores. There must have been 30 cases of that wave that included the MC Iggy.

Nice Spider Droid too.

I recently got 2 retro collection boba fetts at retail, the extra boba i would really like to see if i can trade it for a 6in snowspeeder luke if anyone is interested

[Darth More]

Tamer: Those were good times...when I was in Michigan for 5 months a decade ago it felt like 30 cases of TVC figures, Clone Wars, SAGA Legends, vehicles, Battle Packs just at one single meijer store. I so wish I had taken pictures of this Incredible selection and pegs just filled with amazing stuff!
Yes, Princess Leia was part of Wave 9 back in 2009 and numbered BD19. I wonder if this is coincidence since Carrie Fisher was just 19 when she got her tole in ANH. BD19 usually goes for 35-50€ loose here in Germany now. And yes, she did come with alternate legs, which you can see standing seperately behind Yaddle.


ghostskull18: Wow, two Bobas at retail? That's a rare event. AS far as I know people go crazy for him around the globe. Nice score!

Got one incomplete Jedi Starfighter along with 3 figures for 23€ (18+5€ shipping). I’m going to use the Interceptor for a custom and wonder if I should also use the Astromech Droids for customs. It’s so hard to get any nowadays...what do you suggest?

[Tamer]

Nice to see folks getting stuff. Man I remember how I had to have all those JSF when ROTS hit. And then I had to go back and get all the ones from AOTC. I am nuts with how I collect over the years. I wish I could get my act together. Oh well, at least I am still in the game. Good stuff Philipp.

[Darth More]

Yes, Anakin’s JSF was actually the very first item I got from the ROTS line back in 2005. It was $19.99 at Toys R Us and the fever caught me with the #41 Clone Trooper which I still consider as best Clone Trooper sculpt for 1/18 scale!
But I wondered why LEGO made Obi-Wan’s JSF so incredibly rare ‘til 2015...well, I’m glad I didn’t pay a premium ebay price for their first version.
In my opinion Hasbro nailed both versions of the Jedi Starfighter. Play-features and model aesthetics are in a perfect balance here. I got this one for a custom project. And here are some more smaller vehicles that I got for the same reason:

- TCW Class I vehicles - 10€ each
- POTJ Biker Scouts without masks - 5€ each
- TLC AOTC Obi-Wan without any accessories - free instead of 2€

[Tamer]

Glad to see folks finding stuff. I need to check online about my vintage wave 2.

[Darth More]

Thanks Tamer! Just returned from my bike tour. Stopped at two locations to pick up some figures which I found on ebay locally.
Four figures of the golden days are among them and I think the 30 km ride paid off to start this Saturday morning:

1. Flamethrower Trooper, TBS Biggs, Boba Fett (Disney Infinity) - 6€

2. TVC Stormtrooper, TVC Grievous, TLC Count Dooku, TLC Destroyer Droid, TCW Droid Scout Tank - 30€

Man, that Dooku would be such an excellent choice for Hasbro to pick for their The Repack Collection...oh well.

Have a nice weekend everyone and happy hunting!

[Tamer]

Wow, now that is a type of bike ride I need. Nice!
