FF:NZ Latest Finds (part 5) :o)

I found one of those teener bopper poster mags in Foodtown called Big Hits were having a Star Wars special. Worth grabbing because it contains several full-size ep 2 posters, including Padme and Anakin (Padme in the blue dress -midrif), Anakin and Obiwan (montage) and smaller A3 sized ones featuring Padme in the black leather dress and Jango Fett. Costs about 6.95 I think.

 

Hey Buzz. When you say MANY Ep2 Figures, dide you happen to notice any Yoda Episode II Figures?

 

Nope, no Yoda that I saw, but there may have been one buried under the other figures - I did look through some of the pegs, but there were LOTS of them.

I've been told that they had some of the harder to find figures, including Yoda, at the independant toy shop in Devonport, but that was over a week ago.

The other choice is the Iconix Webstore in Hastings - they've definitely got Yoda on their website for $20.

Cheers for the heads up Buzz.

Just ordered it.

 

Did you mention my name? If you do you get a 10% INCREASE in price.

 

Damn! .... oops I mean yay!

Do you or does anyone else know where I can get my filthy mits on a Padme Arena Escape Figure?
The one at Iconix has been sold for ages.

Cheers.

If I cant have the real Natalie, I may aswell have her action figure.

 

I've seem them around various places. There's possibly some at the St Lukes K-Mart, but I can't remember now - sorry.

Best to try places like K-Mart and Toyword branches since all the Warehouse branches are pretty low on stock (although some may still have that figure too).


Edit:
There's always the newly released 7" Unleashed Padmé figure, but I doubt we'll get these here.

 

padme arenas are pegwarmers here

 

I stopped off at the Sunnynook PaperPlus shop on the way home (to pick up my Mac magazine) and saw thay had a copy of the newish New Jedi Order book Rebel Dream on the bargin table outside for $5.95 (or three books for $15).

Might be worth checking other bookshop bargin tables if you're looking for this book at a cheaper price.

 

Now that a saucy padme figure buzz!! on the subject of unleashed have seen the boba and jango and darth maul ones in the warehouse down here.

 

WOOHOO! finally found me a yoda! now I'm having the "should I open it" dilemma!! any one know a way to open them and re-seal them?

 

three words Darth_Graal .....

"IT'S A TOY."

yeah but when I look at the prices for original figures MIP I had as a kid It just about makes me sick!!

 

I think the price for the newer carded figures is over inflated and will drop. in the 70's/80's kids bought these figures as toys, and almost everyone played with them. Hence the rarity of the older carded figured. (I found a '77 carded Greedo in mint condition for $10 at a garage sale!) Nowadays, every man and his dog is buying them as an "investment", and I can see the bottom dropping out of the market after Ep III comes out.

Just my opinion .... Yoda looks *great* out of the pack, and he's fun to play with

Don't give in to the Dark Side...

 

ive keept a couple of my newer saga figures on card recently because they i already have about 3 of that character and the action features suck and make the figs look retarded

 

Well me and my family are going over to Ozzy on september the 2 and flying back on september the 11 (Shudder) and my parents are giving me 250 dollars spending money so i figure ill spend 230 of it on star wars stuff!!!!!1
