Although i mostly collect Transformers but....
could no resist getting both Vintage Collection x wings (Luke Skywalker and Poe Dameron) from zing
and got Vintage Collection Wave 23 X Wing pilot Luke Skywalker and Poe Dameron from toysrus.com.au

I don’t know what bb8 and r2d2 that will fit the astro mech positions though?

I got the Takodana Encounter 4pk to get BB8 and got Vintage Collection R2D2 (battle damaged version) VC149 which is the one that goes with the Vintage Collection Luke X Wing as it is suppose to match the battle damage applications

Picked up black series Rey a couple of days ago. It's taken me quite a while to get past them not being Star Wars Figures (y'know, 3 3/4") but I'm finally warming up to these things.

Also the way every Rey I saw was packaged, hunched over to make room for her satchel behind her, looked so rubbish I seriously wavered on whether to get her at all - she's a whole new figure just standing up straight. And speaking of standing up straight I thought for a bit it was just the manufacturer genericising to save effort, but according to google Daisy Ridley and Gina Carano are pretty much the same height. Did they stand her on a box on set, or was it just wishful thinking on my part that Cara Dune's somewhere above 6'?

(For the record that brings the black series total to Rey, Cara, Rebels Ahsoka, Hutt-slayer Leia, and Whichever Sister.)

Some new gals from BBTS:



Shadow Weaver was actually the point of the order, but since I've been warming up to the black series at last I tossed in the ones that were going cheap when I ordered. Not sure why Padders apparently isn't popular, but maybe it's just been so long everyone's already got some other version of her. Or maybe nobody's interested if you can't see her abs. I don't like Space Khaleesi's pose I've got her in at the moment but I honestly can't remember enough about her to think of something more characterful than 'generic action stance'. Rose looks great though (give or take the awful hairdo).

Got the Han Solo and Chewbacca combiners that form the Millennium Falcon. Feel lucky to find these Transformers again and feel no more regret about a missed opportunity.

Finally, finally, got TBS 6" Mandalorian.

Plus MISB Black Series 3.75" Ahsoka, along with (2nd hand) 3.75" Clone Wars Anakin, Captain Rex, Clone Sargent, & Clone Trooper.
Still need a pilot, but after 19 years (?) these are all to crew up my Republic Gunship. I blame the coronavirus....

I got the entire Skywalker Saga on 4K - they look amazing, especially the original trilogy! (for anyone wondering the original trilogy is special editions)
