I get what you mean...I'm in the same situation. My focus is now on OT and I can really see myself finally calling it a 'day'. It's just now a waiting game for me and wait for Hasbro or Bandai to release the figure I want. Example, Hasbro's Royal Guards or Bandai to release ANH or ESB Leia. Oh yeah, I picked up SH Figuarts Han and I'm pleased with it. I just wished their Vader and Chewie were bigger.
I hear you. More of a casual collector myself. For a time I considered Titans Return Sixshot. However, I know next to nothing of the character. At anywhere between $50 or $60 after shipping I decided against. More focused on updates of figures I had growing up.
May get a few Tuskin Raiders actually now that you mention it. They look like they would be fun to have like 3 - 5 of. Not interested in the Imperial Guard only because I'm happy with the ArtFx statues. They never did anything but stand there so I'm cool with them.
Yeah, I remember your sick trooper collection. I'd love to do that myself but too late to start now and too many other things to get. I'm jealous though.
My focus has continued to be on OT only. I'm just not into the new movies that much. So I don't pick up much. It's frustrating because all I ever see at the stores is stuff from the new movies. I'm waiting to see how long it takes to find a Hoth stormtrooper. I haven't seen one yet...
I've never seen any SW figures from the new waves in stores, all mine are ordered online... Snowtrooper, AT-AT Driver, Shoretrooper Squad Leader, Revan, Sabine, Obi...I guess I saw the Shoretrooper Exclusive but only because I searched every Walmart in my area and only found them because one of the employees brought them out the back for me.
Same here. I think that's because they're having trouble getting rid of the old stock. Walmart in particular, troop builded the Zuvios and Guavian Enforcers Thanks man. It took a lot of time hunting them down on a ebay seller's page. It helps when he's selling them loose, and for less than retail
I've never considered buying used...Might be a good idea for troop building and I guess it is a good idea with you as the example for it.
It wasn't used stuff. Some people on other forums thought he was selling factory defects, but the defects were so unnoticeable that when you got em in hand...it seemed fine. I know all mine did, and I ordered in bulk to save on shipping.
oic...I see you mentioned loose so that's basically used but cool to hear they are basically new. Interesting though because pretty much all BS and ML figures have factory "defects".
Well, I saw two AT-AT drivers at a Gamestop a while back. But I didn't have the money to pick them up at the time. So now I have to find another one.
So, weird Amazon glitch the other day made the SW Black 6" ESB Snow Trooper available for $9.71. I tried to buy several, but it kept saying the seller (amazon) only had one. So I bought one. Then I went pack to the page, and it was still available at that price, so I bought another minutes later. Both sold by amazon, not a third party seller. I figured what the hell, worst case they just cancel them. No biggie. Package arrives today, and it's got one 6" ESB Snow Trooper and a 6" Sabine Wren. Normally I would complain about an incorrect order, but I'm pretty sure she's harder to get than a snow trooper, so I guess I'll just keep my yapper shut. Still, I got both for less than $10 each, so that's a win no matter what. Bizarre nonetheless!
Damn, the sub-$10 snow trooper popped up on amazon again for like 90-seconds! Once again tried to order two, once again was only allowed to get one. But it did say the price was only good for Prime members. I'll report back on mon/tues with which $9.71 grab-bag figure I got this time
Well, I feel better that I missed this deal since it doesn't apply to me anyways. I don't pay for Prime.
