Just won this chewie figure, I was after the dejarik figures for my legacy falcon table but it looks like they are pretty tightly glued on it, never mind it'll go into the collection nicely

Just won this lot today for under 15 quid posted, I was only really after the boba fett for my boba shelves, so the rest is a bonus, needs a good clean and the vaders sabre is broken but apart from that i'm well chuffed

Cheers Bill, yeah modern is not to expensive, certain stuff is but I keep to the cheaper items, love the hunt!

by **grinchy** Wed Apr 11, 2018 6:59 pm

Haven't bought anything for a while, had a new smyths toy store open up locally to us, went and had a look, and picked up this Jaina solo figure up on offer for £9.99
Don't know much about the character but its a good looking figure, and I thought it was a good price

Nice one Ian, good detail on the black series mate cheers

by **grinchy** Wed Apr 11, 2018 7:35 pm

Cheers mate, have quite a few of them now, I only pick them up when they are on offer, definitely running out of room now, Very Happy

Forgot about these bought for my birthday 3.75 scale black series Lando and Ackbar, I had them loose already can't hurt to have boxed versions

Love that Ackbar Ian yay

by **the89thchris** Thu Apr 12, 2018 4:33 am

Nice score on the Jaina, I picked one up at a Toy Show last month. I've got that Ackbar loose too, its the same one from the "Vintage Collection".

by **grinchy** Thu Apr 12, 2018 6:20 pm

Cheers guys, yeah the ackbar figure is nicely done, really nicely sculpted, weird accessory though with the screen thing for his non existent chair, Very Happy

by **grinchy** Fri May 18, 2018 9:12 pm

I haven't bought anything much for a while, just got this in
dewback with rider, not to fussed with the beefy look for the stormtrooper, but the dewback itself is a solid sculpt

Cheers Bill, yeah its a detailed piece, love that the mouth opens and closes when you move the tail, a nice play feature, not that I play with these action figures, (does a manly cough), lol!
