So, I guess in a week or so, I'll say that I got the 6" Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise.

Got a Vintage Bespin Leia today. Unfortunately, no cape. The face looks a bit more like the actress that played Anakin's mother and Carrie Fisher.

Grats on the Bespin Leia. Mine has no pistol, so together we have a complete figure anyhow. Chux I clicked the link & was tempted by the Emperor's Wrath 6" Vader - do you have that one? Any quality comments?

I have it, but it's one I haven't opened. I've not been in a hurry to yet, since I've heard the first Vader mold is weak, and the improved R1 version is coming out. It was a Walgreens exclusive last year that took a long time to sell out here.

I will say it looks nice in the box, though.

I have the blue box version here, got it for 30 bucks. It's ok packaged so I think I will stick with it as my Vader. The only loose ones I'm trying for are the Bounty Hunters, it just won't work cost-wise any other way.

Oh, and I did find someone to sell me a loose Fett for $40, which I didn't like but figured that's as good as it's going to get. I must have seen 10 at retail, but left them for toy Karma which I guess I must have collected on & used by now.

That goofy looking purple Vader is still clogging the local Walgreens like crazy here, which is probably why I've yet to see Threepio.

One WM had Gnaw, Kickback, and Bumblebee #7,000. Guess which two I bought? (If you need a hint, the Bumblebee mold is getting reused for the first modern update of Chase very soon, so it would be that mold for a character I don't have a zillion of already.)

Also Target marked down the 3.75" Machine Man/silver Iron Man set to $5.98. I foresee much fun between Aaron and Swerve in the future.

Finally found the Walgreens Threepio today.
Here it is next the Bandai Threepio and Artoo.
On its own it looks great, but just ok next to the Bandai Threepio.
And actually the Artoo can go with either version.

I saw 3PO at Walgreens last night. Didn't realize it was an exclusive. I can go back and grab one if anyone needs it.

The classic Threepio is the Walgreens exclusive.
The TFA Threepio* is the regular retail version (I haven't seen that one yet).




*Yes, that is Threepio - you may not have recognized him with the red arm.

if anyone wants any of them bandai kits built real well, i will do it gratis just need the kits (easily ordered from hlj or some i can get locally depending on which) and whatever it costs to ship the finished product- they are sturdy so packing them up would not be a problem

Got the Jawa from the 12" POTF2 line for $2. It is still in it's box. I'm debating if I want to open it.

I ordered a Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy box set. It was an exclusive somewhere(Entertainment Earth maybe?) that had the more comic accurate versions of the GoGs, as opposed to the movie versions that come in the Groot wave a few years ago. Should arrive in 5-10 days.

Wal-Mart had the 12 inch Marvel Legends Cap, IM, and Spidey on clearance for $13 each (originally $50-60). I bought all 3.
Only opened Cap so far. It's no Sideshow, but still pretty awesome.
I only wish they were the MCU versions.

Unfortunately, the newly released Deadpool will never hit even the 50% of price.

One of my local FYE stores is closing and my nostalgia factor kicked me in the face and I bought a 1/4 scale Leonardo from the original movie for about $60.
I would have rather had any other of the turtles first but Leo was ask they had.

Damn, this thing looks fantastic.
Now I want all 4 of the bastards.
