It's a good time to buy, people are jamming the stores shopping so some auctions could/can be a steal. Nice one.  8)

Thanks - I'm checking a lot off the list lately.  Anyone need a carded version of Luke?  I'm just going to open mine anyway if someone wants to pay the shipping to swap.

Nice.  Are you going to open it?  Still haven't been able to open mine - looks too nice in the box.  I got my Fett/Jango 2pk in the mail today - of course, they were shipped loose, so I guess I won't be keeping those two boxed up.  Still nice figs though!

I negotiated a deal with BigJ22 for the last two boxed sets I needed - the Luke/Leia Speederbike and the 2008 Medicom Collector's Set.  My 3PO/R2 set is in route and I should get it next week.  Great Kubrick week for me!!

Nice additions Brent!  It's nice getting yourself a little something extra for Christmas!   ;)

I also just secured a deal for the following chase figs I'm still missing:

- Luke/Vader
- General Veers
- Yakface
- Logray
- 4 Arm Grievous

...and here are the new additions!



Grievous was probably the one I was least looking forward to out of this batch, but he is spectacular.  Here's a shot of my new display as well sans the new five:

Blondie Luke showed up in the mail today.  Pretty similar to the EB counterpart, but having the Blonde and Brown hair variations is a nice nod back to the vintage line.

Received my Luke/Leia Speederbike Set and 2008 Medicom Collector's Boxed Set.  That wraps up all the Medicom Boxed Sets for me.  I wasn't sure I'd ever track all of those sets down.

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!  Those are some nice acquisitions.  Did you land them off Ebay?
