cheers for the heads up re: Iconix, Buzz-Bumble. Just ordered an ultimate 12" Jango Fett ..... mmm

Lawrence

 

No problem. Mention my name and get a 15% INCREASE in price.

The 12" Jango Fett looks great (mine arrived this morning) - although not that much like Temuera Morrison.

I just got another email from them, they've now got these 3 3/4" figures ...

I know the guy who bought the arcade game on trademe. he's invited me over for a game ( when he gets it). woo hoo!

Seen the new figures, Chewie bespin escape is cool. finally got me a yoda and a Dooku!
Sorry Graal, I got the last yoda.

 

Should be getting a yoda dooku and headless jango on tuesday or thursday off cchans mate

 

Headless Jango???? ?

That's a new one I haven't seen / heard of yet.

 

he has a head but its detachable

 

The final battle jango I believe he's called...

yeah I got some of the models at the warehouse too ace, I think my anakins pod racer cost about $10 - $15. The battle droid with stap model rocks!! its about 35 cm tall and is huge! good detail on the kits too, hope they still have a tank left next pay day!

 

I've just got back from the Albany and Milford branches of the Warehouse in Auckland ...

• I managed to find a Saesee Tiin in the slight re-stock they had in Milford.


• No sign of the Acklay beast.


• Albany have the Star Wars: Episode II Chess Set for $99.99. These are NOT electronic chess sets and the pieces are done in "Pewter and Bronze EFFECT" - ie. they look nice, but are really coloured plastic.

 

My Brother called me from the warehouse at the airport, seems they have some of the new figures available, i think they had
Obi wan pilot, Han, Chewy, and dexter

 

I was at ToyWorld, St Luke's today.

They had the 12inch Jango for $115. They also had some 'Star Wars: unleashed' Darth Maul action figures which I'd never seen before. They come with a trading card, or something like that.

 

Yep, both the Darth Maul and Jango & Boba Fett 7" Unleashed figures come with a trading card.

The Warehouse is starting their usual School Holiday specials today (29/6/2002 - 5/7/2002) and have got ...

• 10% off both the Standard and Deluxe Episode II 3 3/4" figures.


• "Over 25% off" Deluxe Transformers.


• 15-20% off the various Spider-Man figure packs


• 15% off Batman: Mission Masters figures.


• 15% off "selected" DVDs and videos

 

Buzz, you are an advertising GOD.


Saw the Ep2 Books in a book store today. The visual dictionary type one and the one that has the vehicles cut away to see inside. Very nice!

 

You must honour your God. Where are the offerings?? (No human sacrifices thanks)


Someone has a mint boxed vintage electronic Millennium Falcon (the one that sits the 3 3/4" figure in the cockpit, etc.) in the Trade & Exchange - only $400.

There's also a Toys 'r' Us exclusive 3 3/4" AT-ST & Speederbike set (~$150) on the NZ TradeMe auction website.

 

Bah, I had this person all ready to Sacrifice for you!

Just look at you in this pic, your holyness.

I did think of saying that Little Brother Sacrifices were the exception.

got a Chancellor Palpatine figure, and also that black-skinned Bounty Hunter from ANH at the Glenfield Toyword on Saturday. The girls who work there know me and smile when I come in now (Must be all the money I'm spending.)

Lawrence

 

* KAPOW!!! * {lightning bolt hits SimplyThrilledHoney}

Thou must not anger the God Buzz by getting to the local ToyWorld before him.





Now I know who's been beating me to all the good stuff around here.

When I stopped by the Glenfield Toyworld a week or so back I couldn't see any Star Wars figures at all. They must have moved them from the normal spot, but I didn't have time to look around.

 

knows the person selling the atst on trademe

 

Buzz-Bumble .... so are you a local too? The Glenfield touworld is just up the road from my house.

If you're keen, maybe we could go "hunting" together on day. I tend to do the rounds every few weeks, but there are a few unexplored areas. My email's in my profile if you wanna conordinate our efforts a little ....

Lawrence

 

I tried Glenfield ToyWorld, but no new figures there. They did have a nice poster of all the "Saga" figures stuck on the side of the counter next to the new position for the Star Wars figures. It shows all the figures so far plus a couple yet to be seen. The one lady serving was too busy for me to ask if it was something they sell or just an advertising poster from Hasbro.

Nothing new at the couple of Warehouse branches or K-Mart (Henderson).

*BUT* - I did find both Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Djas Phur at the ToyWorld (Henderson) though - BUT I bought the only one of each figure they had. Might be worth checking out other ToyWorlds.




I also picked up the latest copy of the UK Star Wars (Feb/Mar issue) magazine - this time it has ...

• Episode II nearing completion


• Attack of the Toys - the first release of Episode II toys


• Brief article about Jay Laga'aia (Captain Typho)


• More on Episode II.

• Long article about Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks).


• Review of Obi-Wan X-box (blurggh!!) game.


• Centerfold poster of Jango Fett and Zam Wessel - no, not that sort of centrefold.


• Article about Brian Daley, author of a few Star Wars based novels.


• Article about Jedi Quest Star wars comics.
