Star Wars, mostly discounted stuff, used and ebay. The number of full priced figures I've gotten this year...just one, I think. Fordo, the only one I ever saw at retail.
The Hobbit on clearance, I only opened 3 things.
With GI JOE Retaliation stuff headed to clearance some places, I've picked up one figure and one 3 pack.
Junk from Garage sales. (Mostly star wars, but some occassional classics, like a Mego Dukes of Hazard Luke Duke)
Trying to fight the occassional Playmobil urge...I did buy a blind bagged figure during a TRU sale. Passed up super cheap playmobils at yard sales. It's a slope I'm trying to avoid.

Saga Legends / Re: Saga Legends "Mission Series" Figure 2-Packs

Battle Droids are just 2002 leftovers, over the years they've been consistently terrible (due to their inability to stand). It's strange they ran with a ten+ year old mold instead of the MTT "pilot" droids (used in the class 1 sets), which have newer aesthetics.

I hope it has an obscure character doing that instead. Wilrow Hood or Zutton or Ponda Baba. Just have some "Where's Walrusman?" moments.

Preposed stances was action figure standard in the 90's at the time. Not that that's an excuse.
A lot of people went ape-shat over POTF2; we are in denial now. I had mixed feelings at the time, some "wow" (Fett, Tie Pilot), others "What are they thinking?" (Han Solo, Leia)

The Bullpen / Re: Thor: The Toys!
« on: July 30, 2013, 09:16 AM »Hell, you're better off having a shortage of basic Thor than you are having an overabundance of him. Supply-demand?
I agree about too many of the same character, but the main characters should never be too hard to find, at least not in their primary attire. Case in point 1980's Kenner Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones was impossible to find (along with Marion Ravenwood). I never saw one when I was a kid. Oh, the fun that might have been had with that figure, instead just had arab disguise Indy and German disguise.

The Black Series 3.75" / Re: Celebration Europe II Hasbro Panel
« on: July 28, 2013, 08:59 PM »
No major reveals because they are waiting for Saga Legends sales data to come in so they can justify cancelling the collector's series entirely, then doing some monthly subscribtion scam that will be 75% repaints/kitbashes with figures priced at $15 each before shipping.

I knew the live action series would never get made, said so years ago and fans scoffed at me. Ha.
Toys? Small winged TIE's returning. Ghost seems too big for a proper scale version, but...they made the Twlight, so...oh, right, they didn't.

Nada here. Big Lots here suck for getting anything interesting, never even got the Class 1 Star Wars stuff (that wasn't that cheap anyway). Big Lots sucks for most things, other than clearance food.

I cheated and watched the post credits scene online. Rather do that than have it spoiled in case I don't get around to seeing the movie.

Gotta save something for whatever. Yeah...
As slow as stuff is coming out, any new reveals would be only available a year from now anyway.

Power of the Force 2 / Re: POTF2 Recent Purchases
« on: July 27, 2013, 09:51 PM »
Looking at the photo archives at the 'scum, the verison I got today is from Saga 2006, since it has solid green missiles and painted details on the hatch, cockpit interior and half-Darthed weathering. All three of mine are from 2006 onward, it seems.
Not sure about the weathering, but I like the POTF2 version's consistent coloration over the Saga's 3 shades of grey (body, wings and hatch...all different)

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Recent Purchases

Those figures you listed are Saga 2006 figures, IIRC.
The last OTC items I recall getting was Leia Bespin Gown earlier this year at a small comic show. Couple of years ago I got a loose electronics-free X-Wing.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Recent 30AC Purchases
« on: July 27, 2013, 08:27 PM »
AAT for $3, missing only 2 missiles. has some misapplied stickers. Stupid kid. I told the lady that as I bought it..."you're kid is STOOPID!" She smiled, nodded and took my money.
Also, a Hailfire droid missing the missiles...the launchers and the laser gun...almost useless. But it was $3.
Different place, Grievous Starfighter for 25 cents, missiles MIA, the gold laser on the bottom, and the control panel dashboard, too, which I didn't know existed until I looked at pictures online...that's two Grievous fighters I have missing the same parts. And another missing everything that can be removed, because that's what kids do.
ANH Vader missing helmet, cape, saber, whatever...he was a quarter. Comic pack Chewbacca, too.
