Last weekend and stuff I got off Entertainment Earth  Have not opened Skiff Guards, the eye paint on Vedain is a bit off, but I might just accept it because the only sure way to get better paint is to buy off ebay. This is why I hate online exclusives, but almost nothing comes to stores anyway, so...Whaddya gonna do? Not buy anything? That's mostly what I had been doing anyway. The shore trooper/bistan was to get my order to come above $50 so I could get a $10 off discount. The SOLO figures were $4 each at Meijer on clearance. $5 for the two battle droids and 2 tri droids, one missing a "eye laser" and the claw feet. Garage sale finds: $4 for the Swamp Speeder, which is crazy cheap considering the guy selling it was collector and looked up prices online. The only thing missing are arm rests on one seat, which I didn't notice when buying. Not a deal breaker anyway. Most of the rest of stuff he was selling was too much money for me and/or I had already. Part one of this weekend: $9.50 for all that, but Batman was a in free box. I almost left the JOE vehicle shells, but in for a penny, in for a pound of junk that will get tossed in a box and ignored. Ha. I actually need the Stun's tires and hubcaps for another used one I have. I never had a Clone wars Hyena Bomber droid before now. That's Ahsoka's starfighter.  |

I do know that with Disney, TLJ and Solo had hurt the Star Wars toy business end of things, not surprising those figures are cheap.

I'm a Playstation guy, so I know nothing about X-box...that said, I probably will have to get some sort of upgrade soon. My PS3 still works, but it has had problems playing movies and games...it freezes up sometimes, or the sound goes out. No idea what I will upgrade to when the time comes....hmmm.
I like Bishop. I never really knew anything about him except I think he was from the future like Cable, who I also really liked. The blue and yellow uniforms look really good for X-men.
Never knew Rogue had a mohawk, I like the look on your other Rogues better...with the jacket, but that's just because how I remember her.

Last weekend Part 2 $20 for all this. Its POTF2 and Galoob plus a helmet! They had a face effects lightsaber for $10 I should've bought to resell. But I'm an idiot, as evidenced by buying loose 90's figures and incomplete vehicles.  |

I really like Imperial Guard Luke and Bounty Hunter Chewbacca is one of my favorite versions of him.
Snowspeeder looks good, they all help for a Hoth display in any condition. I always wanted the Outrider.

Until now, I never owned the other super buff LUKE the deluxe version. His legs are closer together and his pants are different color, plus he has a hole in his back for a pack but has none! He has some goblin glider vehicles that is missing the control stick here.
I like bounty hunger Chewie as the character he's impersonating, not Chewie. Like I like POTF2 Greedo as a nameless Rodian, not the actual Greedo. People forget there's multiple Rodian look alikes in A NEW HOPE.
Outrider needs it's side gun. Snowspeeder needs battery cover. Sky Hopper is really just a shell. I have a TIE that I needed some wing part for, so I'll have a complete one. Funny I got Vader TIE wings, but I don't need them. I did need the missle for it, so there's that.
I asked the seller if there was any more and he was like that was it. So...odd there's accesories missing but accessories for Sandtrooper, regular Chewbacca, carbonite Han (I think), Han solo, Dash Rendar, Hoth Han Solo, Yoda, Crowd Control stormtrooper. I think I was the first person at the sale, too. Who knows? Or cares?
I had big stormtrooper helmet like that as a kid. This one I can barely fit on my head. Maybe my old one bigger? Or something.

More wasted money. Woman said her husband is a fan collector..."I joke that I married the 40 Year Old Virgin." Why do women marry geeks than mock them in front of strangers? I guess he let his kids destroy these enough and decided to part with them.  One side piece and a broken battery cover are all that snowspeeder is worth, it's even cracked on one wing. Slave 1 might be cracked it's got duct tape on it! Oh, and two of those 7 inch diecast figures that Disney made for no reason, because they suck ass. They can barely move despite having joints. Paint rubs easily, it appears. Very probably going to the sale pile. 6 inch Jango kinda cool, but scraped up face. No weapons for Ahsoka. Vintage Kenner diecast ships are a rare find, at least I think so. I never see these even at flea market/comic shows. |

Most guys have geeky interests. I mean, come on, everyone saw Endgame. But I can get with the wife wanting to get rid of this stuff.
Scarlett in the middle of horde of Star Wars figures.

I think her youngest son was done with the toys, she seemed to defer to him when I made an offer. She also said her husband tossed out his beat up Falcon. Must;ve been pretty trashed. Still seems like a shame. Straight arm Scarlett...another oddity. thumbs intact, but scraped up and piece broken off her front torso, really a parts figures if anyone cared. I've found two ARAH figures the whole summer (aside from seeing some toy dealer's stock of loose figures he wanted too much for), EEL 1992 and Scarlett 1982...strange pair. |

At the end of the day, do what you love to do, people will make fun of you and hate on you no matter what you choose. It just helps you find out who your friends really are.
In fact, it's a good test to see if a girl is the right one for you. If she makes fun of you, she doesn't respect you as a person. It don't matter what it is you love to do. What's important is that you love it, and if someone doesn't respect that, then they shouldn't be in your life.

  I got this two case Steelbook of the 5 old Spider-Man movies. The steelbooks have two problems, the disks end up having to be stacked and there's no labels on the spine. But the designs are nice and I only owned Spider-Man 1 and 2 on DVD, so this is a decent upgrade. Upgraded my DVD copy of Transformers the Movie to this steelbook blu ray. Might give my old copy to my nephew. But he might not be interested. A Savage Land Rogue display peace. It was pretty cheap on Amazon. And a Jyn Black Series for less than 10 bucks. Oh and the Marvel 2 pack with Female Thor. Again, pretty cheap. Good haul. |

Transformers the Movie is still better than any new one they've done. That movie is timeless.
I loved Rogue One, it's really the only movie outside of the Original Trilogy I will acknowledge...maybe Solo.
The Rogue display looks good :-)
I was never a Thor fan, but I like him in the MCU...I don't know about female Thor.
Spider-Man is one of my favorite superheros, and I've enjoyed most of the movies they've made.
