Agreed on the Skiffmaster, though I believe that there was a variant with it, one had a longer neck post than the other.

You got it; they made a running change to lower the neck portion so it looked better. I believe I have the corrected version and carded, he looks pretty good....

So, recently I got a bunch of figures out of Layaway at K-mart and figured Id troll ebay to fill in some gaps. I hoped not to pay more tha $10 per figure. Got 2 of the Bluray figures from 1 guy but the cheapest I found Lando was $15. So, thevendor with the Lando had all the Phantom mencae wave for no more than 3$-5$! So I ended up ordering 9 figures from the guy, shipped for $63

I emailed him and asked if he had any EMPTY vinatge collection boxes to spare. I keep my figures in cases becasue they fit beter and I need 6 to put the figures I got away. The guy checked and said he'd send them in the box.

SO, today, I get home, all my packages are here. I open the case with the 9 figures I PAID for and inside was the 9 figures, and a non-colapsed VC case. I thought that's odd, why would'nt he collapse the box to ship? an empty box as a spacer seemed odd. I pulled the box out, there were still 9 figures wrapped in bubble wrap in the bigger box. HMM, this VC case seemed heavy and nicely sealed with tape. So, I opened cut it open.

For some reason, he sent an UNOPENED case of the lost wave. all 12.

THIS came out yesterday at local TRU in Australia.
$39.99....sigh

Came across this awesome pack in a small store in Central HK just now. To give you an idea it is being sold for just over $230 US!!

 

[Matt S]

Those prices are nuts!

 

[mortifactor]

Haha that looks like a shop in central HK - Toy boxes stacked in interesting tetris formations, you can still probably find vintage transformers buried under half their stock!

You doing the commercial centre tours?

I'd like about 3 of those, but not at that price.

Does anyone know if that's the same one from the clone wars clone trooper pack that has the removable armor and corrected horizontal handle bars?

I went to the CTMA center earlier in the week and picked up an old NECA alien figure, a Vladimir Lenin figure for bashing, and an Iron Man Mark III figure!

This store where I saw this set is a block from my work's office; in HK for the week.

Cool, the sino centre and richmond centre are pretty good too, and in the same area

I thought it was entirely new but I don't have it to compare.

 

[Coheteboy]

Found the Target exclusive 3pack with Sith Witch, cyborg leg Darth Maul, and armored Savage Oppress. $19.99.


Between that, the speeder bikes, yavin pilots, ewok pack.... it's been a pretty heavy Star Wars summer!

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

The only Girl Storm Trooper. She was in one issue of a comic and killed herself.

nop, there is another with different HS.
