Ordered this guy online; he showed up in the mail today! After acquiring my DC Multiverse Zod figure, I knew there was one Terrance Stamp figure still out there that I needed to collect.
I totally forgot about the sound chip thing these Episode I figs came with! I actually still have the chip reader somewhere, I'll have to dig it up.



I forgot how little articulation the older figures had! I'm going to have to do some HEAVY customizing on Valorum to bring him up to code. Luckily, I've got a few fodder figures I can pull from.

I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

I got these 2 promo posters today at Barnes & Nobel. They were free giveaways as part of their "Get Pop Cultured" weekends.

Got four BS#24 Snowtrooper Commander from Dorksidetoys yesterday. Great figure times four! Now I'll have to do a head count to see if I have four platoons of Snowtroopers (need 128 of them!) :D

Great finds guys. Yesterday, I met up with a fellow WV Collector and went up to Steel City Con. It had tons and tons of vendors with just all kinds of SW Items.

I ended up coming hope with the POTJ Carbon Freeze Chamber, The POTF2 Hoth Playset, and the Deluxe Wampa (man that is a nice cave accessory that comes with it too). All minty fresh of course. I also was able to add to some other odds and end thanks to Jake giving them to me for peanuts (Snowtroopers, Space Troopers, Guns, Hoth Turrets, radar dishes, etc.).

Received my pair of 6 inch Clone Troopers today. Let's just say I'm not overwhelmed at first glance....

Nice guys, Flakbait your stores are fantastic.

Remco, I hope you write a new review on those Clonetroopers. I saw one at a recent con and almost picked it up as I thought it looked pretty good. Maybe you can talk me out of it.

On my own note, I only ordered it Sunday, but my Toys R Us Exclusive X-Wing already came in (sans my Stormy) and wow was it quick. The package was the most mint of any I have seen, but it looks like the way those are boxed the cutters put a small slice on the very top of the box. Still, at a reduced rate I can't whine too much. Now where's my six inch Stormy?

I am so stoked to hear Wal Mart is getting the six inch figures.

I actually got one in from that Toys R Us deal I mentioned last week. $17 smackers for a 6 inch Stormy sounded great to me. The package they shipped it in was just a mailer envelop and not very padded at that, but it came damage free surprisingly.

I also got in my SDCC GG AT-AT Driver and a great set of 3D Printed Chairs from Jrny Fan!

I was on vacation for the weekend in Maine and scored a 6" stormie for $21 at a private retailer that I scored a bunch of 2010 The Vintage Collection figures at in the past. I also saw Bespin Luke, and Han and Slave Leia. Not too shabby for an afternoon where looking for figures was definitely not my intended goal.

Thats when you always find em, when you don't really care.

On that note, I saw my first new black series figures in awhile at Walmart, it was Wave 2 so I was a bit disappointed, but that has been the first new black series waves I have seen in about half a year or more.

I also saw the planogram papers are out and new six inch stuff is supposed to appear. It looks like all kinds of pegs for SW now.

Got in a few goodies last night and just went through the boxes:







That last image was a great surprise from good ole Dobiwan (James) of his great General Krell. It looks fantastic!

Yeah, I hear you. Its gonna get more expensive in October when that GG Wampa comes out. I still haven't ordered the SS Hoth Hans and Luke or the Taun Taun yet either. Its just too expensive.

I had to have that AT-AT Driver Jumbo and that Probe Droid though.
