Toronto Crazy Mike's Collecting News. Summer 2004

I will not be at work on Monday or Tuesday as I hurt myself DB...

 

Dad, you ok? Take some time off and get some rest. No big rush on the figure as I can meet up with whenever you get back to work. How did you hurt yourself? I hope it wasn't from building a nice display for some new SW stuff.....OR, mom beating you up.

 

Actually I have Sciatica and it flairs up every so often. I will probably be off for the week...

 

Dad,

Ok, tell me when you're ok and I'll come by your workplace then. Take it easy!

 

Toys R Us and Wal Mart now have Clone Wars figures so keep yor eyes opened folks


I am back in action Bronfe so how about next Monday.

 

YAY!!! I got my first Clone Wars figure. Lol some collector I am.

Ah well I will stick to my movies and comics. Thats what I love and what I know. Figures are just fun to have around.

 

Which figure did you get Samwise...

 

Durge with the Swoop Bike.

 

Dad,

Cool, next Monday sounds good.

 

I am still looking for Durge & speeder bike
Samwise.

Remind me on the weekend DB and I will bring the Asaaj figure to work with me...

 

I broke down and picked up boba fett unleashed, wow its cool. I also finally found the last pez rounding out the 12 starwars pez set, I was missing the Ewok. I also picked up a couple more loose vintage figures. Soon as I get a camera I'll be able to post some pics of my little collection

 

You can now find the newer Unleashed figs on US card at TRU.

 

That is good news Son. Dan I have all the Pez as well including the limited edition
Vader, Yoda, and C3PO...

 

Dad,

Sorry I forgot to contact you last weekend. Anyways, I'll be coming FOR sure this coming Monday to pick up the Asajj Ventress.

 

I have the figure with me so whenever you want it just let me know...

I saw this on theForce.net mainpage:



The Kenner Retro Line:


The following details on the rumored vintage "re-issues" have just come in from a very reliable source:
12 newly sculpted, articulated figures will be released in the original Kenner packaging, with the Kenner logo. These will come packaged in a resealable clamshell, similar to the MOTU re-releases. They will release 4 figures from each movie. (The figures should be) available in summer of 2004. The original Millennium Falcon will also be released in new "vintage" packaging, different from the original but still very cool looking.
Three new 12" figures with "incredible likeness" to the originals, one from each of the original movies. Vintage packaging. Luke is a sure thing, but and a mock-up of Boba Fett was also seen.

Though it is being reported that the new retro figures will have extra articulation, it could easily have been a misinterpretation. Chances are still good that the new figures will have the regular five points of articulation found in the vintage line. Considering these are said to be new sculpts, there is a chance, however unlikely, that these figures will more or less compliment the original line and focus on costumes not yet presented in the original Kenner line.

 

dad,

I'll have time tomorrow to swing by (finally). Hope to see you tomorrow!

No Christmas pics of you and Mom? Hee hee

 

i posted something earlier but i just thought i'd put something in this thread as well....

i'm selling the vintage figures i have which are all in great condition (albeit out of package) but all are complete with accessories.

anyone who's interested please let me know else i shall be selling them at the snail the second week of january as i sort of need the money.

 

I did not want to take a picture of myself and wreck the camera DB
With the Canadian dollar growing stronger by the day it is a good time if you are planning any purchases from the US. I have made several in the last few months and the exchange rates have been great...

 

Dad,

I guess you've been hitting eBay a lot? hahaha

 

Just a little DB
