Hey guys, I just want to let you know that I got the first original trilogy action figures today. The UPS guy came around early afternoon. I only got two of the figures I ordered from Cloud City Collectibles because the other one wasn't in stock yet. I got Dagobah R2-D2 and the vintage Obi-wan Kenobi. The R2 figure is really cool because he makes sounds and lights up. I also like this figure because he's covered with mud just like in the scene in Empire Strikes Back. I think it's the best looking R2 figure yet. The vintage Obi-wan Kenobi is really cool too and it comes with a protective clamshell covering with a cool looking OTC logo on it.

Hey guys, I was talking to Jason Friday night and he said he picked up Dagobah Luke and X-wing Luke from the OTC collection. He bought two of the X-wing Luke's so he gave me one. I think it's the same Luke that came out for the POTJ series. Then Yesterday I was talking to Jason on the Phone and he told me that he got Dagobah Obi-wan. He told me that they had a bunch of figure's at the Derry Walmart. You guys won't believe the figure's that I found. I was able to get Dagobah Luke, Spirit Obi-wan, Bespin Leia, the hall of fame Stormtrooper, and the hall of fame Darth Vader. Some of the figure's were down under the ones that were hanging up. I couldn't believe that I found Dagobah Obi-wan, the hall of fame Stormtrooper, and the hall of fame Darth Vader. I'm glad that I was able to make up for not getting the hall of fame Stormtrooper at Target plus I was looking for the hall of fame Darth Vader. Ken just to let you know the Derry Walmart had a couple Scout Trooper's. You're right John the OTC packaging is sweet. The first time I saw it was when I bought Dagobah R2 from Cloud City Collectibles I thought it was cool. I like the fact that they have the scenes behind the figure. The vintage figure's are some of the best figure's that Hasbro has come out with and I can't wait to get some figure's from Empire Strikes Back. The packaging for the vintage figure's are really cool too. Dagobah Luke is a really cool figure because he's got dirt all over him.

Hey guys, I was in Canada for a few days and I picked up the Princess Leia Vintage Collectors figure. Is it ever sweet!!! Great articulation, it looks like the Princess and overall is a great figure! They also had the Obi Wan and Han, but no Luke's. I figure that they should be hitting here any time soon....

You know I wasn't going to get the vintage Princess Leia figure but I saw a picture of it on fanforce and it looks awesome so I just might get it when it shows up. I still haven't received my vintage Luke Skywalker yet from Cloud City Collectibles and I emailed them and they said it would be early July when it would be in stock. I was on there another time and I noticed that it said mid July. I love Cloud City Collectibles I mean it is expensive but they're the best site on the internet for Star Wars Collectibles.

ATTENTION ATTENTION!!!! For those of you who would like a Leia Slave,I have the place. I was in portsmouth RT 1 on sat and the walmart on rt 1 which might be in seabrook had like 5 of them. Granted they weren't in the best of shape like a crease in the plastic but it was still her. I bought 1 so I could have sweet dreams and I almost picked up the rest for you guys but I didn't know if you would want them. By the way I also got to find a Obie and Han Vintage in the case at TRU in Manchester and Portsmouth. So all in all a great day if I do say so myself.
All you have to do is keep the faith.

Hey John, Rik just got some Leia Unleashed in and he put one aside for me because he hadn't put them in the system yet. He got five of them in so I'm sure he can put one aside for you if you don't have the money right now. The magazine Rik was looking at had the Leia Unleashed going for a whopping seventy-five dollars  . I guess the Leia Unleashed is in high demand for them to have it at that price. I saw it Friday night and let me tell you it is awesome and she even has the restraint and part of the chain from Jabba's palace. The art on the packaging is so sweet it's hard to describe. It's like they made Leia hotter than she actually is. When I saw Leia I couldn't believe it and I know that you have been looking for her. I thought to myself John is going to flip over this.

Hey guys, Saturday Jason and I were out and I stopped in to the Salem Target just to see if they had the new collectible cups and they did. They had three Leia's so I got one. The figure looks pretty cool and she has the restraint around her neck and part of the chain. I don't know if this is the same figure that came out for the POTJ with the deck gun but it's still a cool figure. now I just have to find the Luke Skywalker collectible cup. I checked Toys R'US to see if they had anything new and I saw the Tie Fighter and the X-Wing Fighter. I also saw Darth Vader's Tie Fighter which comes with a Darth Vader figure. I think that Darth Vader's Tie Fighter is a Toys R' US exclusive but I'm not sure.

I'd love one of the slave Leia unleashed. I think at the next meeting we need to reveiw the possibilities in the wanted posts.
I also have a picture of Chewy signed by Peter Mayhew himself. I even got a few questions answered by the man himself down at the con.

Hey Ken did you see my post about the Leia Unleashed because Rik had five of them but he put one aside for me. I don't know if they will last because they're very popular.

I picked up my Leia Unleashed Saturday and I just have one word: Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! **drool** Man, sure does bring back a few fantasies that I had as a teenager! LOL
I also just saw the first trailer for KOTOR II, and I gotta tell you, it looks just as good if not better than the first one!! It looks amazing! And this time around, the choices you make will also affect your party members as well. If you make some dark side choices, they will start to go that path as well. If you go to the offical KOTOR site, you can catch the trailer there. www.swkotor.com
Later!

Hey guys, I finally got my vintage Luke Skywalker from Cloud City Collectibles and man is it sweet! The sculp of the figure looks exactly like Mark Hamill and he's got real cloth for the tunic that he wears in a New Hope which is really cool. The Obi-wan Kenobi vintage figure also has real cloth for the tunic that he wears in a New Hope. One thing I like about the vintage figures is that the hole is not punched out where they hang the figures on the rack. I think that these figures are the best figures of all time. I'm really going to enjoy collecting them this summer. Hey John did you go to the Cantina to get your Leia Unleashed or did you get it in the stores because I haven't seen it in the stores.
