Where do you get those cool little stands? Are they the same ones that fit the Kenner figures?

I'm not a fan of those brown/grey rectangular stands or comm-chips.

They are Protech brand. Come in black and clear, with pegs for either modern or vintage. A few of us have used this US site as a source: http://www.collectingwarehouse.com/Prod ... re-Stands/

Got her from the Courier today.

Super cool looking figure. Her gun came warped, but a bit of hot water can set it straight.

Slightly worrying is her elbow joints are a little slick, whereas pretty much every other joint is crazy tight. Some of the paint is a little patchy on the legs and arm joints, nothing awful or anything, just a little spill over. If that type of thing bothers you, getting it in person might be a good choice. It doesn't bother me, so I'm all good. Love how she looks.

Also, due to her belt and her leg armour, she can't really move her legs outwards without bending the belt so the leg armour can slip under, which is a little bit disappointing. Still, glad I got one.

Nice, thanks! I'll get some. I'm tired of playing action figure dominos, ha.

Oh, went to Newmarket farmers today. Got doubles of most Wave 2 (one to open, one to display) and rebels figures. Couldn't find Snowtrooper. I have the weekend free to look around.

Some pics I took of Phasma and the Stormtroopers. Phasma is huge!!!

Cool comparison photos. I love the way Phasma is so much bigger - very true to life.

An item I pre-ordered a while ago finally arrived, all the way from Portugal - the Po-Zu Piper V Dark Brown boots which were used for Rey's costume! Very exciting For comparison - the Rey costume on display at Celebration Anaheim -

Very cool! Great that people figured out exactly what it was, and I bet the company making them can't keep up with demand

Yup! They're currently out stock, with more arriving soon. The style is actually an older one when fans identified it - but the company reissued it when fans asked about making more, which was great!

Just want to make a shout out to Bazzack, he went out of his way to get me a Captain Phasma & first order stormtrooper and post them down to Wellington because there was literally no stock down here. Really great guy and it's people like him who make this community awesome.

+200 Force points for him
