"You are a collector, are you not?" The new acquisitions thread.

I got Sabe and Duros at the weekend, plus a battery cover and laser gun piece to repair my vintage TIE Interceptor with!

 

today i picked up the quigan jedi master from episode one collection. I also picked up the POTF2 Death star droid.
Episode 1 collection all i need is 4 more figs. yeah

 

Over the weekend I picked up all the Hallmark 2001 ornaments. I also finally found Aurra Sing at Target and picked up the 12" Tarpals/Kaadu as a clearance item while I was there.

 

I finally found Han Solo Bespin Capture and Boba Fett 300th edition.

 

I found the B-Wing, completing my searching for the time being. I can't say much for the B-Wing, though. It's packaged nicely and the weathering looks good...but other than that it's just the old B-Wing with no battery operated lights. Plus I think $40 was a bit much for this considering that the figure looks awful familiar...

 

I got the 12" Target Capt. Tarpals with Kaadu for 12 bucks the other day!

 

Picked up the B-Wing on Tues. Love it. No complaints. Agree that $40 is a bit much but its so nice I don't care. You won't hear a peep out of me...

 

A B-Wing would be the most recent addition to my collection - no complaints here: it's big, it's detailed and it makes the 3rd item in my collection that I won't open (besides my Y-Wing & assorted carded figures).

 

Bwing a month ago at Target. Last one & only one ive ever seen at any of our 3 Targets.

Duro, Sabe, Ketwol, & Bespin guard 3 weeks ago at Babbages...paid 9 a figure!

Quigon Armor & Obiwan Snow Gear at Target last weekend, 10 minutes till closing.

Sandtroopers online at Toymaniacs $10. this week.

 

I bought Ketwol and the Fans Choice figure last week. Didn't LucasFilm say that the Duros were actually an off-shoot of the Nemoudians? No mention of that with the figure.

 

Ketwol
Sabe
Bespin Guard
Duros

Aunt Beru
Mynock Hunt 3 Pack
Jedi Luke/Bib Fortuna 12" 2-Pack

 

I got from trades:

Orange card Luke longsaber (I already had one but you can never have too many).

POTJ Dirty Biker Scout
POTJ Kenobi Cold Weather
POTJ Qui-Gon Jedi Armor

 

I received a MOMC Amidala Battle (FINALLY!!), and Evolution P4 promo with Anakin/Vader in a trade yesterday. Man, I was psyched!!

 

I picked up the R2, 3PO and Chewbacca palm-talkers the other day. They were tucked away on the top shelf in a Meijers Thrifty Acres. (They also had several figures from the Duros wave. The Christmas is slowly approaching).

 

I didn't buy anything for a week but today, I complete my 3rd 12" custom, a Rebel Fleet Trooper. All geared up and impressive. Got to work on his weapon next though

 

I found the interceptor at two different toys r us in CA this morning.

 

Wave 1 of my birthday has struck, giving me 4 boxes of Evolution cards...have about 10+ complete commons sets, all the chase cards + a handful of extras to trade and 3 Level A autograph cards (not getting an auto in one of the boxes blows). I have a sneaking suspision when Wave 2 (my wife's side of the family) strikes I may get another box. Waiting sucks.

 

Things are slow here. Nothing new at Wally-World or TRU. I ordered a FF Death Star Droid fan club ed. and a POTJ OB1-Kenobi from ANH. Thought it was a good time to round out some figures I been trying to get but put off.

 

Got 4 more Evolution autograph cards...one of which is the Anthony Daniels Level D autograph card!!!!!!! My wife suddenly became interested in my hobby for a few moments until I explained to her that I'm not going to sell the card. Need to remember to hid that binder....

 

I recently found a Rebel Pilot Cinema Scene, plus I bought a liscensed Joe Corroney print of (minor AOTC spoiler removed) an AOTC scene.

EDIT: DOH!

 

In the last couple of days, I've got a loose complete vintage Endor Han, Endor Leia, snowtrooper, stormtrooper, AT-AT driver, ANH Leia, and POTF2 Leia on speeder bike.

 

Why Sony snob? Audio?

Ever hear of McIntosh?

 

While cleaning out my old closet at my parents' house I found a box of my old Star Wars toys that I thought were sold at a garage sale. They've all been opened and played with (by me, when I was little). They're priceless. The coolest one I found was my stormtrooper with a broken foot that looks like he's peed himself 'coz he's sunbleached from the waist down. I left him in the garden one day with his head buried in the dirt after a painful interrogation by Lord Vader.

 

Latest purchase, Lego Imperial Shuttle. Nothing spectacular I know, but I like it.
