Just found these two buying diapers. I already have them though.

Also, I've bought a few of these to open the last week or so but I figured I would throw it out there if any MOC collectors need either of the different packaging. I found a couple of the "lost wave" carded ones but far more of the normal looking vintage card. I assume they are pretty easy to come by for most people. Otherwise I'm just going to open them.

Down here we get Five Belows with loads of a wave or two every so often and up there you guys get online only waves. Yeah, I'd say distribution is definitely a little weird.

If you come buy any Emperor Guards or Expanded Universe Troopers (1) I'd love to have them.

I guess when Hasbro says something is exclusive it only applies to the U.S.

Those are the only two I haven't been able to find. They are always gone when I see fresh stock. Someone must be out there checking Walmarts every day. I just check when I'm there.

I need that! Is that a carded version or a comic pack version?!?
That looks like a peffect figure to make Hope from X-Men...

JustryGT · 12-08-2012, 05:59 PM

I thought they showed her with the slides from the next "build-a-droid" series . So that means she should be single carded with some small droid part. My wild guess is that she shows up in August of 2013. But it could be sooner.

Jason Abbadon · 12-09-2012, 12:16 AM

Oh...she's not even out yet. Good thing I lost that POTF MJ auction then!

redfox · 12-09-2012, 12:58 PM

Sorry, dude, didn't mean to make you think it was out. I had never saw the pic until that day, and was shocked to find it randomly.

If the figure keeps those good looks, I can see that head for any of the Marvel Reds. Jean, Hope, Mary Jane, Black Widow, etc.

Iceman · 12-09-2012, 01:40 PM

But will it be a figure we actually see some volume of? EU figures seem to get made in such low numbers that they are always a pain to find even one.

With the vintage collection apparently going over to 2013, the new legacy wave will have to wait I guess. Shame too, was looking forward to pablo jill, ANH ceremony luke and of course mara jade.

Iceman · 12-12-2012, 10:06 PM

Isn't the Vintage stuff just revision cases though?

In 2013 - yes.

Speakers92 · 12-13-2012, 11:13 AM

All the leftover waves - 13,14,15? - sitting at warehouses yes. Hasbro is doing it "for the fans". Either way I look forward to picking up a few more figures to the collection... a couple more Gammorean Guards never hurts!

Star Wars Vintage Millenium Falcon - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us

TRU.com has the millennium falcon for $125.00 with free shipping . Tomorrow, it will go back to its usual high price of $250.

Iceman · 12-16-2012, 08:08 PM

Now that's a fair price.

trebleshot · 12-17-2012, 07:25 AM

Better, but I still won't bite until it drops below $100. Even then, it would stay in the box because I just don't have enough room right now to display it properly.

Quasimodo · 12-19-2012, 09:58 PM

Anybody need these?

Symbiote · 12-23-2012, 12:20 PM

Been lagging on taking pics and giving shout outs to great arkers.
Thanks to Fancypants for these figures. Love em.

tgbobafett · 10-22-2013, 09:29 AM

My Star Wars collection used to be Transformers Crossovers (vehicles) and Miniatures (characters) - they work in scale for some of them, but I have decided to instead (mostly) collect the 3.75" Black series for prequel trilogy characters and Lego for the original trilogy stuff.

I like the idea of a dynamic collection of Jedi/Sith, whereas the original trilogy characters are more iconic, but for me don't need dramatic poses so Lego is quite a fun way of having some representation of the characters.

I now a fledgling collection of 3.75" Vader, Mace and Illuminara, and Lego Stormtroopers!

trebleshot · 12-23-2013, 07:04 AM

My Star Wars collection has fluctuated quite a bit since the late 70's-early 80's. Originally, I collected anything and everything from the series because I was a kid who was hella into Star Wars (still my favorite series of all time). Then we moved and a lot of my old stuff got sold off because it was easier than shipping it overseas. Then in the 90's I collected them as a toy collector (again buying just about every toy put out). About 12 years ago, I hit a wall and quit cold turkey. Sold a bunch of stuff and basically dismantled about 90% of my collection.

Then the Black Series came out. Now I'm buying 6" SW figures. Who knew?

(As an aside, glad to see this thread get some love again. Even if it's been almost a year).

Awesome collection Lapu!

tgbobafett · 12-28-2013, 07:45 AM
