my modern collection so far

grinchy wrote:Cheers mate, the trading cards are modern,i had them in a box and wanted some way to display them, I bought a blank canvas painted it black and glued the cards to it, don't have a decent pic of just the canvas, it works well enough,

Interesting idea. They look like an uncut sheet that way.

Never noticed but yeah they do, it wasn't intentional just making use of the space, heres a better pic

Took a couple more pics of the x wing and falcon, as well as my big tie fighter, these are the favourite parts of the collection

Here's one of my favourite custom figures, Kenny Baker in R2, action figure scale, not the best likeness at this scale but still pretty cool

That custom figure of Kenny Baker looks awesome.

Love all the ships as well.

Cheers mate, yeah the Kenny figure is cool, don't see to many of them

doing some dusting, decided to take a couple of pics of my elite series vaders, I have the 35th anniversary version and the standard release, they are quite heavy pieces, not sure how much is diecast metal, but they look good on the shelf, had a problem with the jedi version, the removable hand has come of in the package, don't want to break the seal to fix it so its just rattling round in the box

Those look great Ian. Are they 6" scale?

Cheers mate 6.5inch according to google ,I knew they were a little bigger to differentiate them selves from black series

Interesting. I'm surprised they would come out with another scale.

Well there's not much difference between them and the black series, apart from the diecast parts, black series is the superior line in my eyes better detailing and paintwork, but the elites are still nice to collect

Just picked this up from ebay, I really liked Rogue one, and I saw this figure when it first came out but was skint at the time so had to leave it, just browsing through ebay and found it for 13.50 delivered, half the original price so I grabbed it, no idea where i'm going to put it but that never stopped me before

Nice one mate! Top movie and a great character.

It is mate, forgot about this one two, another cheapie as it had been opened, but an iconic scene from force awakens

Great new additions Ian.

Cheers mate,
Need to find a place to display it though,

That 35th anniversary Vader was a tough one to find. I tried my local Disney store and the guy said they were sold out 15 min after the store opened.

I think that is the only item to have that anniversary logo, except maybe a lithograph set that came out at the same time.

I missed it to on first release, knew I had to have it, didn't know about the logo, very interesting
Its available on ebay, i paid double the retail price but was glad to have it, I've seen some over the top prices for this, i waited till i found a price i could stomach

Another figure I've been after for a while, the gammo guard, this has been my favourite figure done so far in the vintage collection, I've had him loose for ages now got a nice carded example

just ordered this guy from star action figures, on sale for £9.99, thought that was a decent price, hell of a great likeness, love the photo real tech they are using on newer black series

Went back into the sale and bought this black series Rey for a fiver plus post, no photoreal on this one but its still a nice figure

Nice figures Ian. The likeness on General Veers is really good.

cheers mate, should drop here tomorrow so I can get a better look, but yeah definitely a good likeness

I've just got this on offer, trooper with blast effects, nice big box, shame the blast effects don't light up, but its staying boxed

So force Friday over here was a bit of a damp squib, no toys r us so no big midnight opening anywhere local, decided to do my shopping online, star action figures in the uk were the exclusive retailer for the carbonised mandalorian, so went with them, midnight last night, website was supposed to go live, but it crashed due to popular demand, it couldn't handle the traffic, so I spent the next hour and a half trying to buy something, finally snagged the mando, but couldn't get near to anything else
the mando looks nice a bit different than the standard release bit of a paint difference

went and preordered a couple more figures today, should be here in a couple of weeks
