The Legacy Collection in NZ

[saddestmoon]

Hey Peeps!

Yes! Picked up VC Prototype Armour Fett yesterday, from an online trader! It is awesome!

Great card, great figure, awesome weapons - love the Concussion Grenade Launcher weapon that comes with this (Often missing from other Fett releases).

Very Happy! The circle is near completion!

had a look at the mini-rig vehicles and the only one they didn't have was the yavin ground crew & transport.

Which Mini-Rig vehicles did they have?
Any sign of the CWs Y-Wing Scout and Warthog figure, by any chance?

they definately had Darth Maul and sith-speeder a Clone Trooper with a rots barc speeder and a Battle droid with Stap.. i dont collect clone wars stuff so had to google the y-wing scout and the packaged photos do look familiar but i'm not sure.. i'll have a look within the next couple of days though..

was also at a warehouse today and phantom menace figures and MH line all in abundance.

with the vintage line almost being completed.. and the recent legacy/saga legends lines... i was thinking that my collection feels semi complete.. like i have a lot of definative versions of the characters.. the only figures i'm really waiting on are a good Hoth Luke and any Imperials they release.. updates on Tarkin and Piet would be awesome.. ooh and a good rotj chewie.. and the non-bearded variation of the legacy hoth rebel trooper

still things that i wont be able to pass on if they turn up on trademe or retail again like the larger winged tie fighter.. with a preferance for the blue version.. but other than that..pretty complete feeling..

If you want a good ROTJ Chewbacca try and track down the first Vintage Collection Chewbacca from 2004. That is a great sculpt and one of the best Chewbaccas from Hasbro.

So just a run down of what you can find at the moment
Movie Heroes Wave 1, Clone Wars Wave 1 and The Phantom Menace Vintage Wave 1 seem to be everywhere. Movie Heroes Wave 2 seem to just be at Toyworld and maybe K-Mart according to some reports. Waves 1 of the Class I and II Fleet Vehicles seem to be everywhere as well. Biggest surprise is the 3D Discover The Force sub line at various Farmers stores, just reports of the 12 figure set so far but not the Vehicles or Battle Packs. Of course all the usual Role Play and Masks seem to be all over the place as well for the kiddies!

So good hunting everyone hope you all find what your looking for!

Thanks for the round-up Stylie. I'm looking forward to getting out this weekend and maybe doing some shopping if I can find those DTF figures at good prices. Farmers seems to be still running their awesome perpetual 20% off toys sale (now called a Waitangi Weekend Sale), so that bodes well. Good luck fellow kiwi Scummers.

yo had a chance to go back and they don't have the y-wing scout.. that and the yavin troop transport don't seem to be at retail at all yet.

found a farmers that were clearancing a few star wars things.. they had the Tie Bomber for $60 which i passed on since i own the previous versions and that when it was still instock Mighty Ape had it down to $40 at one stage.. did manage to score a legacy Shield Generator Assult battle pack for $40 with 20% off though which i was suitably stoked about..

Also they had the rotj (slave leia, tie pilot, endor trooper, b-wing pilot) wave on "return" cards.

Hey Peeps!

Yes! Just picked up VC Quinlin Vos today, from a mate! What an awesome TPM figure he is as well - loving him on the Vintage Card as well!!!!

Extremely happy!!!

Hey Peeps!

Yes! Picked up (loose) both Cade Skywalker and Darth Talon from the Comic Pack series - both with all their accessories.

Been looking for both of these for a long time, so was great to have snagged these through Trademe.

Kewl stuff!

Hey Peeps!

Yes! Picked up the Sith Infiltrator this afternoon, from Farmers, Lower Hutt - on sale, and priced at $41.00 (20% off).

This is an awesome vehicle, IMO - and I'm not put off by it's scale whatsoever. Sure, it's not BMF - but I'm glad it's not - as this sized vehicle does just fine, IMO.
First thing I did (once assembled) was get out my TPM Darth Maul speeder figure, and place him in the cockpit (good fit as well).

It looks awesome, great paint-job, mold, etc... and a rather unique design for Hasbro to produce (considering all the various Jedi Starfighters of late).

I'm so glad this was re-released, and that I've now acquired it!

Happy Camper!
