More of a mini-haul, but I did score, from a couple of different sources, a selection of figs from the ESB wave (with one or two more to come). Really like what they've done with the sculpting on the snowspeeder Luke, and it's great to see another original trilogy astromech.

Cool Matt. I'm loving the astromech. I bought one on e-bay but it hasn't arrived yet. Zuckuss looks good too, though I'll be tempted to replace his soft goods when he gets here.

Here's a little haul that I've picked up very recently from a couple different sources too. A special thanks to Reverend Strone for the awesome Cantina figures and the missing link from the sandcrawler scene. I know the big clone trooper is a bit out of place but I'm a sucker for the 7" Unleashed figures and I just got this one.

4x Snowtroopers, 1x Biker Scout, 1x Commander Cody

Thanks to Bazzack for getting me Cody and a Snowtrooper. So good to have a possible Cody.

A few more figures for my Padme and Leia collection arrived today, from ebay - bought two slave Leias so I can display both the standing and sitting variations

Wow, that new Hoth Leia is magnificent! She has a slightly wide stance but some hot/cold water reposing can fix that. Great haul Kristy - congrats!

Huzzah! My R2-MK arrived in the mail today. He's so shiny and red and awesome. Will post pics soon!

Will be interested to see that one.

Speaking of pics, here are a couple of delayed photos of the most recent figures to join our collection (thanks Daniel!) Not new releases, but appreciated additions nonetheless.

Great pictures Matt. I need to get a better lens for my own camera so that I might take better close ups as well.

And you may add droid envy to my jealousy of your photography! Those figures are great - especially the colourful astromechs. I have those very figures coming to me as well (through another friend) but yours arrived first, so I got a little preview before packing them up to send your way and am all the more eager to receive mine now.

But, while waiting for them to get here I couldn't keep off the trade boards.

Here are my latest hauls and further demonstration of my need for a better lens...



R2-MK is fabulously shiny and cool. I was also glad I held off picking up the Jedi Academy Training set till now as it was half price when my trade buddy grabbed it and R2-MK for me at Disneyworld last month. The padawans will join Yoda for training while the master will probably end up in a Geonosis diorama at some point.

I also came around to a couple of the figures in the EU wave, which I had dismissed previously. I scored Jaina Solo for a background Jedi figure (see's a really nice sculpt I must say) and have always liked Master K'Kruhk. He turned out great as well, though the omission of the hat is unforgivable! Fortunately I am pretty sure I have one somewhere in a drawer left over from a Pirates figure I picked up for customising. Hopefully it will fit.

Picked up an extra Hoth Rebel too, to help populate the Hoth dio I have it in mind to build.

On the BAD front I finally scored the necessary parts to complete two more astromechs, and I traded for a trio of U-3POs intended for more customising. They're great sculpts. Now I just need to get around to doing all this custom work I have in mind...

Had a few parcels show up last week.
