Title: 30 AC, Collecting Styles, and YOU: What's your plan?

I've decided to go all out and be a completist this year, at least regarding the Basic and Vintage lines. Hasbro has really impressed me, I just want everything. That Force Unleashed line, I've yet to decide what I'll be getting, I guess I'm going to wait and see how much I like the game/comic/whatever crossover it is.

I'm skipping the Force Unleashed thing, with the exception maybe of the female Imperial officer.  I'll probably get one of everything in the basic and vintage lines, unless it's a trooper or Jawa, and then I might get 2 or so.

After 29 years of collecting, I'm not cahnging my habits now!  (Will there be 30th Anniv. next year for Kenner figs?)  I get one of every carded figure to open, and  few army builders if I find them.  No more, no less.

Shouldn't be a problem at all.  I've found 50 of every single other army builder I've wanted and in some cases 100.  17 is not even a challenge, Reid.

Unless of course you're trying for 17 Naboo Hangar troops, in which case that'd be impossible.

Come on Matt, get off your high horse. That figure is the best Star Wars figure on the market! Let's not kid ourselves, it trumps any thing else out there.

Same as I always have: buy what I like, skip what I don't, and open the stuff I get.

At the moment I'm sticking mainly to a Clone Wars focus. As you can see, there's very few things that I plan on getting for certain, and a bunch of others that I will buy if I have the money then or depending on what the finalized product looks like when I see it. I'm happy if I get even one of a figure, so army building is out because of lack of money/space/ability to care.

Also, I'm sure as **** not sweating the coin collecting.

Galactic Marine (maybe)

Airborne Trooper (maybe)
Super Battle Droid
Concept Stormtrooper

Wave 2 - ANH - Battle of Yavin

I am not a completist but I will get the things that interest me the most. So far that would be 1 (or maybe 2) #1 Vader will coin album. I'd like to get one of the Biggs, RMcBoba Fetts, VOTC IG-88, bespin Luke looks good, battle damaged Vader, a few troopers here and there, probably the V-Wing, CZ-4 that crazy robot from Mos Eisley, the Jawa with dome droid, but I'm not sure what else. it'll depend upon what extra money I have and what strikes my interest when I see it.

Great topic Dressel.

Wave 1 - Revenge of the Sith

Galactic Marine - 6 loose, maybe more if I can afford it
Mustafar Lava Miner - 3 loose, including 1 for a custom
R2-D2 - 1 loose
Obi-Wan Kenobi - 1 loose
Mace Windu - 4 loose, have one already
Airborne Trooper - 2 or 3 loose, might customize one for a Rykrof Enloe custom
Super Battle Droid - 8 loose... I want more, but can't afford it
Concept Stormtrooper - probably 3-4 for customs, going to try my hand at some Force Unleashed customs with these


Wave 2 - ANH - Battle of Yavin

Rebel Honor Guard - 4 loose... or maybe a few more if I have the money
Han Solo - 1 loose
Luke Skywalker - 1 loose, maybe another for a custom?
Biggs Darklighter Pilot - 1 loose
Death Star Trooper - 8 loose, maybe 2 more for customs
Concept Boba Fett - 2-3 loose, probably all for customs


Wave 3 - ANH - Tatooine

Biggs Darklighter Academy - 2 loose, both for customs
Darth Vader - 1 loose
Luke Skywalker - does he come with the vaporator? if so I'll take 5. If not, just 1 loose
Jawa & LIN Droid - 2 or 3 loose
Stormtrooper - 10 loose
Concept Chewbacca - 4 loose, all for customs
Elis Helrot - 3 loose (2 for customs)


Wave 4 - RotJ - Jabba's Palace

M'iiyoom Onith - 1 loose
Boba Fett (Animated Debut) - 1 or 2 loose
Luke Jedi - 2 loose
CZ-4 - 4 loose
Umpass-Stay - 2 loose
Concept Darth Vader - 1 loose...maybe


Wave ? - Force Unleashed

Maris Brood - 3 loose
Juno Eclipse - 3 loose
Shadow Guard 2 loose
Darth Vader (Battle Damage) - 2 loose
"Samurai Jedi" - 3 loose
"Heavy Stormtrooper #1" - 5 or 6 loose
"Heavy Stormtrooper #2" - 5 or 6 loose


Vintage 30 AC

Han Hoth - 2 loose
Leia Endor - 2 loose
Luke Skywalker - 2 loose
Bossk - 2 loose
IG-88 - 2 loose
Snowtrooper - 8 loose

But, if I see these vintage clearanced out, I'd buy at least 5 more of each if I find them really cheap for custom fodder beause they're so articulated and well sculptd. In the $5.00 range, at least one or two more of each.

 :P

I'm in for a bunch of them, that much is sure.  OT is pretty much a guarantee.  Concept/McQuarrie stuff I'll try and get all of and those I might even keep one of each carded.  VOTC is one loose, one carded and extra snowtroopers I expect.  Force Unleashed I'll buy selectively I think; some I like, some not so much.

I'm in on everything, doubles on most of it even, save for the Infiltrator and some other random vehicles.

The basic/vintage lines floored me though, the Force Unleashed line is right up my alley...  The V-Wing is the only ship I saw I'm really stoked to get, and I'll get a few I think, but yeah I'm just happy with pretty much everything from photographs...  We'll see how that carries over after purchases though.  :)  Things can change afterall. 

I really have to say again too, that some of the larger accessories are enticing enough to rebuy a figure just for the set dressing he comes with.  Luke especially comes to mind.

Hey, what a fun thread idea.....

Before I give my responses, a couple of comments about my collecting style:

I always army-build in even numbers (whenever possible - I only ever found one Gree and one Kashyyk scout so far...) for display, diorama and photonovel purposes. Having just one guard or troop around doesn't make any sense.

I usually top out at four of a kind. Anything else is superfluous for my needs, but, somehow I did end up with six Utapau clones.

For the past few years, I have also been hoarding figures like a pack rat for customizing purposes - even though I barely ever actually make any customs and haven't done anything in the past year.

I'm sure I'll buy a few extras this year for fodder, but odds are I'll never get around to using 'em....sigh.

Oh, and I never, EVER collect carded figures. They're toys, damnit! Not museum pieces. An unplayed with toy is a useless object.



Wave 1

Galactic Marine - 2 to 4 depending on availability and money at the time
Mustafar Lava Miner - None. How boring.
R2-D2 - None. I ditched all my extra R2's a few months ago. No need.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - None. ROTS version is fine.
Mace Windu - Is this the promised SA version? 1 if yes.
Airborne Trooper - probably 2
Super Battle Droid - 2
Concept Stormtrooper - None.


Wave 2 -

Rebel Honor Guard - 2 to 4 depending on avail & money. Maybe for customizing.
Han Solo - None.
Luke Skywalker - One. Possibly an extra for customizing, looks like a good genric torso.
Biggs Darklighter Pilot - 1
Death Star Trooper - 2 to 4. Maybe extras for customizing, see above.
Concept Boba Fett - None. Don't care about concept figures.


Wave 3 -

Biggs Darklighter Academy - Two. Definite custom potential here.
Darth Vader - None. Ditched extra Vaders, too. No need for more.
Luke Skywalker - Is this the vaporator one? Definitely one. Can't wait!
Jawa & LIN Droid - One. Love the droid! But I have enough other Jawas.
Stormtrooper - 4 to 6 depending on availability and money. Need a big Imperial army!
Concept Chewbacca - Possibly one. Only concept fig I'll even consider.
Elis Helrot - One for the cantina section! Figure itself is so-so.


Wave 4 -

M'iiyoom Onith - One, possibly more for customs, looks like a good generic body.
Boba Fett (Animated Debut) - None. Have enough Fetts, no need for Toon version.
Luke Jedi - Probably 1 if soft goods are removable. They look yucky!
CZ-4 - One.
Umpass-Stay - One for customs only.
Concept Darth Vader - None.

FORCE UNLEASHED-

Maris Brood - Wow. Tons. Up to 4 or 5. Need to army build female Imps! Customs hopefully.
Juno Eclipse - 2. One to keep, one as potential custom fodder.
Shadow Guard - None. No real need, though I like the look.
Darth Vader (Battle Damage) - Hmm. This looks cool. Probably one.
"Samurai Jedi" - 2 or 3. Good figure, good custom potential.
"Heavy Stormtrooper #1" - None.
"Heavy Stormtrooper #2" - None.


Vintage -

Han Hoth - One.
Leia Endor - One. MAYBE Two for custom potential.
Luke Skywalker - Not crazy about the head sculpt, but I'm sure I'll get one.
Bossk - One.
IG-88 - Maybe one. Not high on my list. Depends on money at the time.
Snowtrooper - Either none or two, depending on money. I was never a huge fan of snowtroopers, I can live without this.

And let's not forget -

Sith Infiltrator - One most definitely. Love this ship, can't wait.

V-Wing - Maybe....the problem is I already have absolutely no room for additional ships in my tiny living space. Half are on display (ever available shelf and desk space!) and the other half are sadly collecting dust in a closet - this includes AOTC starfighter, Y-Wing, all my speeder bikes (and there are several), Geonosian fighter, larger scale X-Wing, AT-AT, AAT, all my small and air speeders, all my creatures....it's depressing. V-Wing looks great, but I just need a bigger apartment!

So, adding it all up, assuming highest number of possible figs (and both vehicles) bought, I'm looking at the following damage for '07:

$437.40

Yipes. And that's not including all the other possible figs from that secret French list.....

Damn you, Hasbro!!!  :D

I love the packaging so much, I'll probably buy one each to keep carded and extras of the figures I really like (McQuarrie concepts, OT characters, etc.)

This 'logic' applies to the Vintage figures as well.  They're so nice you have to keep one set carded, and one set to open and futz around with.

My only dilemma right now lies in the Legends line - the cardbacks are so nice, I don't know what to do.  Note the clone trooper in this image - you have got to love the custom artwork on each cardback!

Post by: JesseVader08 on February 12, 2007, 06:59 PM
My collecting nowadays is focused on loose figures to fill in holes for my themed displays.  I was lucky enough to get the Target Shuttle (thanks again Dan!) and want to set up an 'Emperor's Arrival' display, so I'm hoping to get my hands on a buttload of Stormtroopers and a few DS Troopers.  My other favourite displays are the Cantina and Jabba's palace, so I'll need every creature for their respective homes.

Space is becoming a big issue so I'm leaning more towards OT stuff, so I'll likely pass on most of the PT pieces.  I'd love to have a big Clone battle area, but I'm not sure that'll happen.

Since I was originally a carded collector, that blood still runs through me and I'll have to keep carded versions of the vintage figures and possibly a few other sublines like the McQuarrie figures and all Darth Vaders.

Post by: Morgbug on February 12, 2007, 09:16 PM
Jesse, wouldn't it be cheaper to fill the middles of rows and back rows with cheaper, generic commtech stormtroopers than opting to drop a grand for 100 new ones, no matter how cool they are?  I can totally understand why you'd want to have the front rows/sides of rows (i.e. highly visible troopers) being mondo cool, like the new stuff or VOTC troopers, but I'm guessing you could do about 60-80% of that with cheaper army builders at $3-4 a piece. 

So a grand your way or half that much?  Just wondering why you'd do the former?

BTW, the POTJ General Leia, while not great, looks pretty sweet with a Saga Endor Luke poncho.   :-*

I think your idea is a great one and I'd be all over it if I could actually find someone willing to part with them (granted, this is just based on a couple searches on eBay).  Usually you can find a couple CT Stormtroopers at a time, but by the time you throw shipping on top, I'm stuck paying roughly the same price as new ones in store.

Post by: Dan on February 13, 2007, 08:38 AM
 My collecting for 07 will be limited to a few troops I like, the McQuarrie figures, and some odds and ends.I like the coins, but not enough to pay 7.00 each. If past years are any indication, I will find at least 6-12 I like to put in the carded collection (usually troops, but this might be McQuarrie this year)

The set ups you are talking about Jesse are almost exactly what I have been putting together.
I used the commtech troopers in my death star cabinet, with about 1/2 dozen VOTC mixed in.
The Jabba's palace, tatooine farm, and hoth are my other displays. If figures fit in them, I will probably buy, otherwise I need to try to pass and save my money for Kubricks.

So far 28 collectors have posted their purchasing intentions for 2007, and I have tallied the results and divided the 28 respondents into categories.

I. Completists - 11 of the 28 will buy at least one of everything.

II.  Selectivists - 15 of the 28 decided they will buy some, and pass on some

III.  Army Builders - Of the 26 Completists and Selectivists above, 15 of the 26 will be building armies of troops.  I only counted those troop building more than one kind of troop and purchasing 4 or more of those kinds.  Army building collectors were about split evenly between Completists and Selectivists.

IV.  In a category by himself is Reid, who plans to purchase just 5 figures total all year long.  He didn't really fit the other classifications.

V.  Also in a category by himself is Slothus, who plans only to be broke.  I was unable to ascertain if this was attributable to Star Wars, so Slothus alone makes up category V.

One of each, maybe a few carded figures here and there if I like the characters enough.

I'll get a few of the regular army builders, but not too many. What's the supposed retail price on these 30AC figures? Is it staying at $7 or so, or is it going up again this year?

I'm borrowing someone's list here because I cannot imagine typing all that out, hah.

This is more an "ideal" kind of buying list, I doubt I actually get all these though this year.  I wanted like a dozen VTSC Tuskens but only wound up with like 8 total I think, though I know I can get more cheap down the road...

A lot of these are 1 for the customs bin, 1 for the collection shelf, maybe 1 for a different "setting" on the shelf or something...  Nothing with me is really set in stone but army building is gonna kill me this year.  Fortunately not much else I want but figures.  I'm gonna drop the Titanium line I think due to the price increase.   :-\

Although I'm not usually a completist (or anywhere close), it looks like this year I might be.  From the basic figures we've seen so far, I plan on picking up at least one of each, and extras in some cases.  I'll pick up extras to keep carded of the Vintage figures, as well as the McQuarrie figures if possible.  I'll probably skip the majority of the Saga Legends repacks, but I hope to get a few.  Overall though, the basic line looks pretty amazing so far, and of the first four wave (and probably, the Force Unleashed wave) I plan on getting every figure.  That makes it pretty tough when I'm trying to cut back the spending :), so the "other" stuff is what will get cut back or cut out.

I'm confused.  Is this it?

Cause that looks a lot like the same repainted removable helmet AT-TE tank gunner from EIII #38 that we got twice already.

When the Saga Legends stuff was originally announced, Dan Curto said and Hasbro later confirmed later that the 501st Trooper in the Saga Legends assortment will be the ROTS #41 sculpt with 501st colors (basically Appo minus the Pauldron, plus the Antenna).

From Rebelscum (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/actionfigure/Saga_Legends_Complete_Details_101680.asp):
Quote
501st Clone Trooper (originally MIA)
Speaking of clones from Revenge of the Sith...remember when the Tactical Ops Trooper was shown at Comic-Con 2005, and it sported the Super-Articulated body, but the actual figure ended up being a repainted AT-TE Tank Gunner? This happened because of the tooling available at the time, but isn't it time we saw this SA figure?

Well guess what? We're going to. Look for the SA body repainted in 501st colors at long last! So while technically this is a new figure, somehow I don't think anyone will mind. (and if you do, then you can blame me, because I asked for this one.)
Packed with Episode III coin.

The pic that EE has for Wave 2 might just be a photoshop job as that 501st in that wave is supposed to have the #41 body...

Okay, so basically while EE should be showing the #41 sculpt, they're showing the AT-TE Tank Gunner #38 sculpt.  The legs and helmet are the giveaway.

As a former carded completest turned opener "new figures only", I'll probably passing on about 1/2 of the 30th AC figures.
Marine, Lava Miner, Honor Guard, DS Trooper, Luke (for the vaporator), Biggs Acadamy, Elis, Onith (why is she in Jabba's Palace wave- should be Cantina!), CZ4, Umpass.  I'm betting that I'll get the Force Unleashed figures and possible the concept figures as well.

Well that would change everythingon that for me... I"d buy a lot of those.  I intentionally passed on the Tank-Gunner mold 501st figures.... I ended up with 5 or 6 total but would love to dump them in favor of new ones.
