Over past few days got Commander Appo (no BARC speeder), Heavy Weapons trooper (also no speeder), ARC Jesse body (no head/kama/weapons/backpack) and a loose reg clone (reconstituted figure with HT armour, hands and p2 helmet, HT body and 3rd party body suit). The latter 2 were cheap, the former not cheap but not expensive either so all in all pretty good. Also got a rangefinder part.
 
Just picked up a whole bunch of things at Disneyland:

Raiders tee
Sankara Stone replica
Headpiece to the Staff of Ra replica (they mislabelled on the display cabinet as Headpie which my son thought was constantly amusing)
Hasbro Indiana Jones Temple Escape
Spider-Bot and Dr Strange add-on
Replica web shooters
Spider-Man Lenses

Going to make some great displays. My son had the most amazing week. His biggest heroes are Indy and Spidey and he got to meet them both!!

I might post a full review somewhere we had a truly amazing week.
 
Grabbed Sideshow Fives finally for about 300 quid. Seller stated that one of those small devices that goes in to holder that hang from the belt was missing but I found it in the box hidden with the stand so was actually complete luckily.

Also got some pokemon cards (mainly Pikachu), a Sideshow kama (wolffe I think), the green Sideshow (442nd?) Clone, and some other small random parts. Also a miniature gachapon machine plus a couple of those "make it mini" food toys. They were actually fun to make (they use UV resin so need to be left in the sun for a day or so to solidify (wear gloves when making them). The ones I got were the chocolate cake/jelly and some ice cream with cookies.

For my child I got some Pingu plushies, toy plane and cars, some shoes, and lots of little random things such as some fast food toys (KFC Ultraman figure is cool) and bouncy balls (need to find where he lost one, should be around here somewhere).

Should be more stuff but they haven't arrived yet.
 
Realised I didn't post these here yet. Recently purchased my 3D printable blasters from a seller in China selling prints without my permission or credit, so technically bought Chinese knock off's of my own products.

Battlefront 2 (classic) DC15 blaster
Tie Pilot blaster pistol
My own custom design pistol (DC15s variant made to look like Halo Magnum)
Kenner 1990's POTF2 style Stormtrooper heavy rifle
DC15A (AT-RT driver variant)
DC15A (open reloading version)

PROS:

- Sculpts are really good (if you're lucky enough to get them without derp eyes as some have)

- Soft goods are nice, the hanging tunic pieces and his robe are wired.

- Nice acrylic crotch grabber stand which isn't often seen in 1/12 scale.

- Plenty of hands and Saber blades.

CONS:

- The body underneath is trash.

- Arms don't go all the way down to his side.

- Limbs will pop out of their sockets at the slightest of movement. Annoying AF.

- Wrist pegs are super soft and cheap. They are essentially useless. Once you remove a hand, you've just took one half the peg with it. Not broken, they're too soft to break, no. They split down the middle and come apart. Oh, joy...

- Boots have no ankle cut even though the foot inside it is indeed articulated. Was scary taking an exacto knife to them without cutting my fingers off. Yes, I actually had to put a slice in the ankle area of the boots to access the foot articulation. Fun...

- Head fits far too low on the peg making him look like he has no kneck at all from many angles. Awesome...

- Lightsaber blades are absurdly long. I have no idea why they did this. It's actually hilarious...

- Was roughly around $100 or so when it was all said and done. FML.

CONCLUSION:

Overall, there's enough here to try to kitbash a decent figure. But in it's current form, the way it's shipped to you, it's an absolute disgrace. It fails hard. Don't buy this. I'm going to mix and match some stuff that I can salvage to upgrade my SHF Maul. But I regret ever laying eyes on this thing. Especially for the price. Ugh.
