Been very inactive lately but I managed to score some nice stuff

StarSpeeder (2 weeks ago, well worth the money!)

Wal-Mart:
TPM Anakin x2
TPM Queen Amaidala
Battle Droid
Royal guard
Dofine
BenQuad
AAT ($25 a very nice upgrade and the deco is solid. I will definatley pick up another)

So far I am really liking the TPM stuff, very well executed I cannot wait to find the others. I will have to pick up some STAP's to rebuild that army. I really do not get the street date just put the **** out already.

Man, if all future CW figures go realistic I would absolutley love that. They lost a lot of money with me because of the animated look. Having everything under 2 banners is the best thing they can do. (Movie Heroes/CW and Vintage). 3 lines was/has been overkill. It always goes back to basics with the tried and true realistic figures eventually.

Hopefully the VC one will have a more expressive face. It would be great if the MH JJ head fits on it too for variety.

Whatever you say about the MH line in general at least there is some newness. I hope they take adavntage of repaints like the VC45 Clone and such.

Now they just need a new Tarpels...

That is pretty damn awesome!
I think it's better than everything Hasbro put out in 2011 new vehicle wise. I was hoping R2 would be able to come out but it's no big deal as it does not take away from this very badass toy.

This is a must have in my opinion. The updated speeder is fantastic, yes overpriced but well worth it! I was afraid when I sold my old one but have no regrets after I opend it, it looks very screen accurate.

Make sure you inspect the package if you find them. The biggest clue will be retaped sides, if you see overlapped tape avoid it or open on the spot if you plan on opening. I got mine case fresh and plan on buying one more Luke set so good to know. thanks for the heads up.

BTW - All 3 exclusives are great, the only complaint I have is the color of Han's coat. I am going to experiment via pop and swap.

Wow, better hope Dressel Rebel doesn't see your post.   :o 

I sent away for two of them - here's hoping they still have some left!

I love DR and hope he is not mad but I make no apologies for my Capitalistic nature.

Do you just send them one package with a check  for all the figures or do you send these off individually?  I have always sent individual envelopes and checks, but would be nice to save a buck or two on postage.

I sent 1 check, 1 order form, 1 Bag O' UPC's for 24 in a padded yellow envelope for my first order the day they offered the form. I got the case and an extra box of 4.

Waiting for the other 16. I sent them a week apart the exact same way. I am out of UPC's right now.

I planned way ahead for this and my intent was to flip them as fast as I can upon arrival. FYI - I got a lot of hate mail for selling them on eBay. Some people may call it scalping but I really do not give a rats ass, it means nothing to me. I made and took the risk on the investment and sold them openly in an honest setting on eBay, no one had to buy them. Some guys are charging $15 to ship them, that's robbery if you ask me. The first 22 I sold paid for my Vintage figures I purchased this year so the haters can throw all the stones they want. (BTW, my rant is not directed at anyone here, a bunch of scummers sent me some) The rest is gravy once I get the other 16. I am at a point if guys hate me for being smart about making the hobby pay for itself I will just stare at my collection with a wide smile and not think twice.

Once again, he is a great figure, mail away for him, pay $6.99 and have some patience. ;)

I mailed away for 24 in one shot then 16 so that's how I was able to get the case. (20 per case the rest were in a large box.

BTW - The standard white mailer is very durable with extra cardboard inside to ensure safe arrival. They learned from Rocket Fett big time.
