Nice Score!

Just received this today!

The darkside of this is it is very expensive to ship from the states.
I paid Just under NZD$400.00 to get this piece....But it was worth it~
It is now the crowning piece in my collection :victory:

I am thinking I should surrender my credit card to the missus until after Christmas.... :no:

Picked up the MicroMachines First Order Storm trooper head and R2D2 over the weekend.

My Verdict.
The don't make things like they used to.
The plastic is thinner and the surface is not a glossy as my original one from 1997.

The box art show 4 figures and a vehicle, but the box only comes with 1 figure and one vehicle.
Compared to the 1997 set, we had 6 figures and a tie fighter.

There is room for improvements on the box art.

In case you were wondering why my original stormtrooper is still like brand new after a decade.
M trade secret is plastic polish. It provides a layer of protection against the dreadful yellowish effect of plastic. It also keeps my display piece nice and shiny.
