Ugh!! Still looking for Bastilla!! I dont think we ever got that wave down here :/

JustryGT · 01-23-2012, 10:42 PM

I think they should include Bastilla Shan in a future case assortment. I will let you know if I see find another one.

The ones on Ebay that you linked me to the other day say Stage 3 or whatever. What all is the difference and which ones work for 3 3/4" figures??

usagent27 · 01-24-2012, 07:40 AM

The ones on eBay work as well as the stage 5

behindthemask · 01-24-2012, 09:41 AM

stage 3 is only 1 flight stand with base while stage 5 is 1 larger base with 3 flight stands? atleast that's how it looks, how much did those run u? I believe stage 3 cost me under $6 shipped for 1.

Haul of the day is courtesy of Dogfashiondisco, recieved my MU Thanos figure, another skrull for my army which brings me up to 7, so I may customize him or slightly alter him to make him the leader lol. I then got the clear Dr Strange figure, he's BOSS! love the clear base, he was a bitch to fit on the base, seemed like the peg holes on the feet were 2 small, but I managed to get him on. I can't wait till I get the flight stands to properly pose him.

MIB for now...if I had another one I would probably crack it open, this one was not cheap though that and I got it from a TFW2005 member in Singapore. Cheaper than what the online stores were selling with the Kanji script to make it more authentic.

Stage "insert number 1-5 here" is the style or size. When purchased brand new they all come in packs of three, and each has a few different pieces you can use for each (full sets of three of everything including bases),.. like the clamp pieces that holds the figure, extension pieces, etc. I looked for size comparison reviews, but couldn't find any that compared the Stage "#'s" to each other, only individually. From reviews I've watched Stage 3 & 4 look almost identical.

I posted a few pictures of Stage 4 & 5 here: http://www.toyark.com/marvel-3-75-ap...78/#post234162

Optimus Vader · 01-24-2012, 02:14 PM

I just picked these up at Target...

jaybird7072 · 01-24-2012, 03:50 PM

Well, if paying $10 per figure helps you decide.. they're now $10 a figure at TRU and Targets. I also used to collect SW, but haven't since about 07 until about a month or two ago. I almost wish I didn't.. they're really nice.

Yes and no. I originally bought from eBay (seller: xuehui_cn4), but received a ko transformers set instead of the stands I ordered. So then I purchased from ToyArena, but via eBay. For whatever reason their stands were cheaper via eBay (they have an eBay store and a www.toyarena.com store that's as legit as BBTS) than buying directly from their own website store (when factoring in shipping). If you click that link in my earlier post and read what I typed you'll get the full story.

D00MTR0N · 01-24-2012, 05:57 PM

stupid street dates are keeping these figures from the pegs here,though I ran a scan on the price check thing at target for vintage star wars and there were none in the back,wtf,they have had the same stormtrooper x's 5 for the last 2 months!!!

If you think $10 is bad I went toy hunting today and stopped by Albertsons, a local grocery store, and saw that they sold Iron Man 2 and Thor figures, I think it was, for a whopping $12.99 each!! Haha I said damn shame and left without buying anything

I'm looking at that thread btw......cool stuff man!! Gotta figure out which ones I want to buy now. Heh

I think that street date is hit-or-miss at best. I have one Walmart that actually posted a sign blaming George Lucas for the reason the SW pegs were bare. Then at a Target 15 minutes away from there, the new Vintage wave is sitting there waiting for someone to buy them. Same thing at a Walmart less than 3 miles away from the Target. smh
