I saw the Vintage Y-Wing in TRU. I think it was �40. Oh f*** is it out already? I need that toy. I have no money. I CANNOT BUY A Y-WING BECAUSE OF YOU BURNS! Thanks to ebay proceeds and my latest set of TRU reward vouchers I now own a £35 Y-Wing! <put the robot in, take the robot out> Time to get my box of Astromechs out! |

There's only very minor stuff that's never been done AT ALL. The twins in the Cantina, 3rd rebel pilot on the left etc.
One of my major milestones has recently been passed with the arrival of a grey suited Y-Wing pilot.
The question now is which figures haven't had a carded release (Uncle Owen) and who needs a super articuated update (Nien Numb)

This may be old news but it was new to me: saw the Jabba throne room set in FPE last week.

Been a while since I brought a Star Wars figure, then the other week I remembered reading ages ago about a vintage-style rocket-firing Boba Fett. So I grabbed one off eBay and it arrived the other day.
I'd previously picked up the previous rocket-firing Fett when it was released as the 300th figure (despite not being the 300th figure...) but I couldn't resist the 70's charm of this new (old?) one.

Yes, Phil they are still £20 in TESCO.
In other news, for £4 each in Sainsburys I picked up a Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper. They had a Space Trooper. Where does that come from?

Another of my rare SW purchases was made today. I went into ASDA during a walk to pick up some paracetamol. As I must always do when in a shop, I checked the toy aisle first. I saw a Wicket figure and was suddenly hit by a wave of nostalgia along the lines of 'IUSEDTOHAVEAWICKETFIGUREASACHILDITLOOKSLIKETHEOLDONEIMUSTHAVEITREDHAZEREDHAZE' and before I knew it I was at the till. The paracetamol went through the robot till ok but the 'need approval' alarm went off when I scanned Wicket and a store employee came to help.
NUB NUB!

Wicket now guards the monitor. He will kill anyone who gets in his way.

I found a boxed Millennium Falcon this morning. Well I say found told by a seller they had it and given first dibs (the advantage of regular sellers knowing the sort of thing I buy). It was the mid 90s version plus a snowspeeder and Jabba from the same line and 13 figures mostly from there through Ep1.
At £30 I initially turned it down (couldn't afford it), but then the urge to finally, however briefly own a big ass MF was too great. It will be on ebay this week (especially after seeing some of the prices, but mostly just to recoup my money) in the mean time I shall enjoy the ownership.
Need batteries to make noise. Pow pow!

The might of a high-tech nation against a bunch of guerillas with sticks. History and fiction have told us how this works again and again.... I feel sorry for the Daleks...
