    Got the Sabine/Stormtrooper pack at last!

    Argos stores in the UK currently have all Mission Series at half price (£5.49 GBP). Who'd've thought at 44 years old I would get so excited about a pink coloured doll (Action Figure!) haha! ;)

    Picked up three boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios with posters in them. Just opened one (TPM poster) and looks to have a theft type package and is not in the cereal plastic, just in the box between the two. Someone here mentioned an exclusive poster at Target?

    Received Vintage Land of the Jawa's playset today. Very excited to open it. I had the base and the escape pod, but this had everything and was a good deal. Also Luke ESB Hoth card back.

    Are those posters blind packed? You'd probably have to eat a lot of cereal to get all six [face_laugh]

    I was thinking of opening them and seeing what poster is inside, then return lol. I wouldn't go that far for those however.

    Received Ewok Village parts including railings, chair, and stick for sacrifice pit. Also lot of figures in fantastic shape with original Kenner collector case and vintage weapons including 4-Lom, Skiff Guard, Ree Yees, Luke cloak, and Leia Endor poncho.

    Picked up the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars DVD in town today. Not really a fan of their regular series but I loved this when I saw it on Disney XD. And it was on sale for £5.99. Also got the Lego Movie (along with an included Vitruvius mini-fig) for £6.99.
    Also bought the new SW: Lords of the Sith HC at a local bookstore. Pretty good SW haul!

    Went to Savers tonight and picked up 4 Mighty Muggs - Got a stormtrooper, Mace Windu, Boba Fett, and Darth Maul all for about $7.5. Mace and Stormy are pretty beat up (covered in marks, not dings or anything,) Boba Fett is in the best condition. These are the first full sized ones of these that I've seen at thrift shops.

    I also got 10 little Attack figure things from a game that came out a few years ago - I'm always picking random ones of those up.

    I also ordered 3 SW t-shirts today - they're pretty cute they look like Powderpuff girls met Star Wars :p

    Amazon UK order came earlier. Amongst the items was Darth Vader and Friends by Jeffrey Brown.

    I believe I read in Insider that this would be the last of his SW books. Anyone else hear this? If so, it's a shame. I've been enjoying them.

    Nice pickups StarWarsFreak93, I was determined to not give up on the same poster being in my Honey Nut Cheerios and decided to let the force guide me. Sure enough, it wasn't another TPM poster, it was ROTJ. So now I know the enlarged picture on the back doesn't necessarily mean that's what's in the box. Also received vintage Darth Vader Star Destroyer view screen part, so now that ship is complete.

    And the poster I got today was The Phantom Menace! 4 boxes so far, all different! Only need Attack of the Clones and Return of the Jedi. But I thought the odds of getting them are 3720 to 1 :p. So I ordered those two off eBay, and will have the complete set!

    Also picked up a 6 inch Black Series a Obi-Wan from Walgreens!
