Star Wars Figures

[Solrac333]

What do you guys collect? I collect mostly Sith Lords. I have some stormtroopers, some of the main characters, and vehicles. I want to get that new walker at Walmart sooooooooo bad.

Lately, the stupid Build a Droids has been pissing me off. I need that hologram Darth Sidious. It has L8-L9's left leg and that's the only part I need.

:yoda:

[starwarsgeek]

I may have an extra one of those legs... let me look through my parts.

As for me, well... what do you think? Take a look at my name, lol! I pretty much have EVERYTHING that Hasbro puts out. I gave up buying other companies stuff, like Gentle Giant and Sideshow, but I have a ton of that stuff, too.

Getting back to Hasbro stuff, I have 98% of all the vintage figures loose and about 30 or so carded ones. For modern stuff, I have every figure from 1995 up to last year, both carded AND loose. Last year I decided that buying at least two of everything was just too much, so I cut back and only get one of everything and open them all. However, I do have close to 1000 - if not more - carded figures that I'm going to most likely be trying to sell, soon...

[Solrac333]

Oh man. If you have an extra leg, I won't even care if I never find that Darth Sidious. I hope Hasbro decides to sell the sand crawler. That way, I can keep all the incomplete droid parts in there. I started collecting SW figures after Revenge of the Sith. I do have some from the 90's and a little that have survived from when I was little. I just found my old snow speeder.

[starwarsgeek]

Well, after looking at what figures it came with, I'm pretty sure I don't have one, sorry. I've got several others parts for L8-L9, mostly extra arms... but no leg. I can see if I can get one for you though.

They re-did the Sandcrawler a few years ago, and I think from some of the Q&A sessions I've seen at various sites, they don't plan on re-issuing it again any time soon. The one they did was just a repaint of the vintage one, and really is waaaay too tiny. I started doing a diorama some years back (that never got finished) incorporating a small portion of the 'crawler and some droids and Sandtroopers... I'll see if I can dig up some pics.

Oh man,don't get me started on SW stuff.

I've got a moderate collection,I've been wanting to start collecting again since Hasbro started the Build A Droid,I'm very interested in the Build a Droid Dark Trooper sets at Wal-Mart.

I'll see if I can't get some pics of my SW collections.

[Solrac333]

I want that Dark Trooper but not for 17 bucks for each set.

[starwarsgeek]

That DarkTrooper is awesome. Totally. It worked out for me because a) I found the sets being sold online for $12 each, b) some of the figures are "new" and went into my collection and c) the ones that weren't new went into the fodder bins. Can never have enough fodder.

But yeah, the DT figure is totally amazing.

[- Z -]

My pride and joy is all of the vintage Boba Fett figures carded. I have the SW, ESB, ROTJ, Droids, and Tri Logo versions! Those I will never sell.

[starwarsgeek]

Oooooh, you lucky bastard! I have both versions of the RotJ Fett, and cardbacks of the SW/ESB/Droids versions. Fett is my fav character, so I have a bit of a Fett-ish (lol) and I've been trying to get the others, but I'm waiting for the right deal (and the right amount of cash in my bank account).

[Overhaulimus]

Man you guys are making me want to start collecting again,stop it....not cool.

[groovycustoms]

Walmart has those Dark Trooper Build A Droid sets here for $10.00 each! Check your Walmart!

[starwarsgeek]

Do it! Do it! Come over to the Dark Side... lol!

[Solrac333]

Not my Walmart. I was there yesterday and they were 17 :sniffle:

[starwarsgeek]

Yeah not my WalMarts either. In fact, my WalMarts (3 in my area) don't have ANY of these on the shelves.

[Overhaulimus]

Do it! Do it! Come over to the Dark Side... lol!

Must...resist....Jedi training....makes me stronger.


Yeah not my WalMarts either. In fact, my WalMarts (3 in my area) don't have ANY of these on the shelves.

Mine has all of them but the one that comes with the head,so I could get an almost complete Dark Trooper.

[groovycustoms]

I just came back from my local walmart and bought all of the ones they had, AND the had some masterpiece Skywarps there with a sign under it saying 35.00, bought all of those too, even though the cashier scanned them at $60.00, I told her about the sign, she had someone check and since it was obviously an error on their part, I got a two for one on 8 skywarps.

[Solrac333]

Where the hell are these cheap ass Walmarts that sell BAD's for 10 bucks and MP Skywarps for 35?

Of the 3 in my area, one of them is selling voyager ROTF figures for 14 bucks.

[groovycustoms]

Walmart is so out of sync that each store seems to carry something different and not all Walmart stores have the same deals going on. The $35.00 skywarps were a mistake on their part that I just happened to notice and take full advantage of, I am sure that as soon as I left if not before, they took the sign down to avoid something like this from happening again!

Since I've got a big group of StarWars guys here, is the (Legacy Series?) Magna Guard very hard to find, chase, or short packed? I found one, which I immediately dismembered for parts for a TF custom I'm doing and I like the result enough to want to use another (or two!). I just can't seem to find one anywhere after months of searching. What gives?:confused:

[starwarsgeek]

This guy here?

That's the only recent Magna Guard that I know of... from the Clone Wars cartoon collection. He shipped last year, and hasn't been seen at retail in a while.... unless your stores are like the ones in my area and ONLY have figures from last year. If that's the right one, I can probably get one for you from TRU. Just LMK.

[Solrac333]

I like the Clone War series but not the figures. I pass on them. I do have Grievous, Count Doku, and Ventress.

[Solrac333]

I just got the Dewback from Walmart.

[starwarsgeek]

Saw that and the new AT-ST at WM last week or so... didn't think either of them was worth what they were charging for them. Pass.

[Altitron]

Seeing you all type RotJ has made my mind fuse all these acryonyms into the worst movie imaginable...

Someone needs to make a RotFJLthRftR movie... Revenge of the Fallen Jedi Lords that have Returned for their Rings. That would rawk

I got him because I don't have a regular old stormtrooper and the dewback reminds me of our youngest cat Shadow. Depending on how I feel, I may get the AT-ST. I passed on the Target X-wing because the exclusive prices just suck.

Peter Jackson should direct.

[Solrac333]

I got Lumiya! Same place I found Darth Krayt.

[Solrac333]

YAY! I won the Darth Sidious figure with the BAD leg I was looking for. AND I won the BAD figure YVH-1 on ebay. I didn't feel like buying all those figures just to get the BAD figure.

[starwarsgeek]

Sorry, I was trying to track down a leg for you...

how much was the YVH? I saw a few go for $30 but I didn't want to pay that much just for the BAD.

[Solrac333]

That's cool. Including shipping the Sidious figure was about 10 bucks. The YVH was about 16. Beats buying all those figures that I didn't want anyway. Now I just need to find the Yuuzhan Vong comic pack.

[Solrac333]

I just got my Darth Sidious figure with the last BAD piece I needed. Both very cool. I had some mailing issues with the YVH figure. For some reason, the post office shipped it back to the seller. The guy is shipping it back.

I also got the mail in Qui-Gon Jinn and Eopie figure yesterday. :)

[Solrac333]

Anyone get some new figures?

[BigHank]

New for me, I picked up a couple comic 2 packs at Marshalls for 5 bucks each. One has a character named Durge (never heard of him). The other had Darth Talon. I got them to practice customizing SW figs.

I like the look of that Cad Bane. Gotta pick him up.:cool:

[Solrac333]

You have to watch the Clone Wars cartoon (not the CG version) that came out before Revenge of the Sith. Awesome series and you'll see Durge. It also introduces Grevious.

[Solrac333]

FINALLY! Had to drive into Maryland but I found the Yuuzahn Vong figure. He is awesome. :)

I was looking for that mythical Transformers Animated Arcee but instead I found Mr. Vong. Still no Arcee though.
