What have you bought recently?

[Gazmog]

My recent purchases have been insanely GG-centric, :thud and even as I compose this thread I am waiting for an auction I'm bidding on to end.

I have a GG Chrome Jango and Stormtrooper arriving on Tuesday...and a few other things later in the week.:drool

C'mon, give us the lowdown on the extent of your spending spree!!! :poke :wave

[Viking28]

I really like my Darth Vader Chrome Bust, its one of my favorite busts. Concrats!

[Greedo]

I finally got my IG-88 and 3PO busts in. Love em'!

[Gazmog]

I don't have threepio yet, but IG-88 is an awesome bust. Congrats! I just love the detail they lavished over that one, especially its weapons.

Viking - can't wait for the Vader bust. It will sit nicely alongside chrome Jango and the stormie.

[Viking28]

O yea also a pre order for the Clone Troopers Spec Ops helm, I cant wait to get this!

[achteel]

I got the Zam Wessel bust from EBay last week. I'm expecting the Termnatrix bust (Kristanna Loken) hopefully this week. I just ordered the Gamoreen Guard and if everything goes my way, I will be getting one of the Sandtrooper C3 exclusive busts (fingers crossed) in a couple of weeks.

[THE WARG BEAST]

WG :boing2

[pitchin4eva]

was thinking of buying MR blasters but do UK customs allow them in being replica guns?

[screamingmetal]

I just bought and opened the 3,3/4" Blue Royal Guard in the new Hasbro ROTS line. Very cool figure! :banana :banana

[THE WARG BEAST]

I hope so Pitch or Im in the $%$&

Ive had 2 LOTR swords shipped from the US and they passed customs with no problems.. fingers crossed

WG :boing2

[pitchin4eva]

Yeah I've had the swords also but guns are banned in UK swords ain't. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya, let me know how you get on.

Did you get the limited edition or signature edition?

[Viking28]

Scott went to the mall with my daughter for the Disney store and happened by Suncoast and there he was IG-88 for $35!
Picked him up! He looks great!

I sold my Hellboy 1:1 revolver to a person in the UK it arrived there alright.

[pitchin4eva]

My bank account hates you viking..........oh well, blasters for me then :rollin :rollin :rollin

[Oxbeard]

Seems like I remember reading something on MR site a while back re: this. Must have gotten lost in the new design because I can't find it now.
But they mentioned that they plug the barrels in order to comply with regulations. Of course, they also included the disclaimer that they are not responsible for any confiscations. Go figure :speech

[THE WARG BEAST]

Just got the limited edition one Pitch..

I will let you know when it arrives..fingers crossed

Purchased from one of the best dealers...........Mike:bow :bow


WG :boing2

[pitchin4eva]

What price did you get it for WG?

Interested in this piece myself.

[Greedo]

Scott went to the mall with my daughter for the Disney store and happened by Suncoast and there he was IG-88 for $35!

That's a great price Casey! I got mine for $33:banana

[Twilitewichking]

hmm my most recent star wars purchases are:

- Icons Darth Vader lightsaber...quality isnt as good as MR but very nice considering it was the first licensed saber by lucas.

- Master Replicas AOTC anakins saber, TPM mauls saber (i cant wait to get these :dance ), Mini Smoked Sidious saber... the icons vader saber is my first full size saber prop, so i cant wait to see the full size MR sabers :drool (esp since the quality of the mini sabers is excellent)

[Gazmog]

Thanks to Mike, the Zam bust arrived this morning. What a great seller he is!:wave :bow Anyway, I was taken aback slightly by the size of her, as well as the conspicuous absence of her arms. :eek :(

[THE WARG BEAST]

Hey Pitch,

Got it for $199

A great price :banana

The £ - $ rate is good at the moment

WG :boing2

[LOTR Fan]

For SS:

The Lava Vader (Target Exclusive) and Holographic Yoda (TRU Exclusive)

The MR FX Luke (Ep V) can't wait for the Vader to come!

I am debating the Chewbacca GG statue - should we call this the Chewbacca effect? :lol

[Gazmog]

I am debating the Chewbacca GG statue - should we call this the Chewbacca effect?

Will these help? :p

[achteel]

I was taken aback slightly by the size of her, as well as the conspicuous absence of her arms.
Yeah, I'm with you on that one. On a good note, she can be had for a decent dollar. :naughty

[LOTR Fan]

Wow, very nice! :thud Help or hurt I suppose it is all in how you look at it! :poke

One question, it certainly looks this way but the netting on Chewy's back is real then? :dunno Wow, that really is a nice statue, thanks for the pics. :wave

[RichardW]

It's real netting. I actually picked this up recently off eBay for $99. I was real happy with it. :banana

[THE WARG BEAST]

Hey Gaz..

The pics look good but.....

Is it that good a statue??

Looks very slimy in texture to me ??!!

Is it worth having??

WG :boing2

[Gazmog]

LOTR fan: the netting is real! It's a great statue. I will post a heap of images on my new site, which I'll be launching over the summer. :wave

[LOTR Fan]

:mwaha Thanks for all the help! I will likely be adding this one soon. :banana

[Severen]

I just recently picked up the code3 Millennium Falcon, which arrived today actually (free international shipping and all :rock ) and I absolutely love it. Best collectible purchase I've made in a long, long time...


Sev.

[Gazmog]

The pics look good but.....

Is it that good a statue??

Looks very slimy in texture to me ??!!

Is it worth having??

It only looks glossy because the picture was taken at night (flash). I can assure you the paintwork has a matt finish...and is most definitely not slimy in appearance.

Worth having??? Absolutely. The detail and sculpt are magnificent. :)

[Oxbeard]

I completely agree Severin. I got my Falcon and XWing over the weekend. Very satisfied with them and the free shipping made the descision that much easier.

Also got my BB exclusive .45 scale Sidious saber yesterday. Looks awesome :rock :rock :rock

[larbob]

I picked up the Code 3 X-wing when it first came
out...not planning any other purchases from them.
Have the signature series one but not sure it was
really worth the extra dollars....same product just
Mark's sig and you got the cover included.

[Gazmog]

Ox, just made my first Clone Wars purchase...Yoda...for under $70 inc. insured shipping to England. :dance

[Oxbeard]

Congrats Gaz!!! Sounds like a steal. I absolutely love the Yoda, the pose is classic and the expression on his face is awesome.

[Gazmog]

Thanks Ox! :wave Getting him was the easy part. Next up, the Red Clone Captain (fingers crossed on that one)...followed by the ARC Trooper.

[Severen]

Yeah if/when I grab the X-Wing and Slave 1 I doubt I'd bother with the signature series versions, it's just too much of a price hike for a signed plaque and an acrylic cover in my humble opinion, so I think I'll stick with the basic ships myself.


Sev.

[Oxbeard]

Found the Chewbacca GG statue still available from TRU.com for $129.99 (plus shipping/tax) if anyone is interested in a non-ebay source.

[mrichards2002]

Do I count as well?

I picked up Obi Wan EP3 LE last week.
Anakin EP3 LE is coming home tonight.

I took home a Luke FX Monday.

12" Sidious Figure.
Galatic Heroes EP3 Set (Loved the Palp and Grievous) even though they are baby-ish, but then again so am I. :dance

Took home a 2nd GG Chrome Storm Trooper. You can't just have one next to your Chome Vader.

And an Ultimate Villain yesterday (I broke Down).

Didn't open it yet.

Mike
:ted

[Oxbeard]

Mike you're not alone on the Galactic Heroes. I have to buy several sets to take care of me and the kids. Actually, I think this line has been a much bigger h i t with the adults than the kids anyway.

[mrichards2002]

Yeah. They sell very well in the store. Not so well on Ebay though.

[Gazmog]

Just taken receipt of the chrome stormie and clone pilot this morning. Absolutely fabulous busts!:yay

[elwood49]

So Gaz, did you order the MR Blue Helm as well? You are really on a buying streak lately. Did you win the lottery?

[Gazmog]

Lottery winner??? I wish. :D I still have some of the proceeds from the sale of my WETA collection to spend; not much, but some. :p I have spoken to Mike about the blue one, and there's a possibility I might get that one too...but I'll have to see how things pan out before I decide for sure. My main focus right now is getting the red clone trooper bust to complete the set...and maybe Vader at some point.

[Azog of Moria]

Hmmm picked up the MR mini saber, and a few surprises coming in!

[LOTR Fan]

:mwaha which mini? :dunno

[Gazmog]

Phew, am I relieved that auction's over? Got me a red clone captain bust for $317. Very happy with that result. :yay

[Gazmog]

A big thanks to Mike for the Tarkin and Luke X-wing busts which arrived today...they're awesome. Pleasure doing business with you!!! :wave :bow

[elwood49]

Just ordered the Biker Scout on Speederbike from the Godfather!:bow Great price on a VERY limited piece. I read on another site that this will retail for $230.00. Great discount!

[Azog of Moria]

Ooops, when I posted that it was the Mini darth Sidious Exclusive.... However I have the GG CP30 statue coming in tomorrow and the weathered obi wan mini will be in today from MR
