heres some pics, first up the stand itself, then a falcon resting on it, i love the flight angle,

by **grinchy** Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:06 pm

by **Nico** Sun Sep 26, 2021 2:54 pm

Heres an new figure i just won, the x wing luke that came with a boardgame, didn't need the game but wanted the figure so nabbed it on ebay, another 'what if ' figure that kenner might have made back in the day, love the card art, could do without the retro sticker but i'll live with it

well i had a beer or two and this happened, bought it on facebook, i quite like it, bit different from the normal fare, its fett and i'm a sucka for anything fett, made to look like a prototype, when any colour available was used to test the mould

I like the Roy Lichtenstein style artwork on the card. These proto Fett figures have been going for crazy prices on release. Apparently there are six colour variations to collect too.

by **grinchy** Sun Oct 24, 2021 12:10 pm

Yeah i do like the artwork, I've seen the vader that is going for big money, they are also doing a stormtrooper, not sure if i'll get them, and i'll be sticking to one colour combo, not going down that expensive rabbit hole, lol

by **Commander Clint** Sun Oct 24, 2021 3:23 pm

Nice figures Ian. cheers

I wish Hasbro would make more unproduced figures like Tarkin.
The multi coloured figures look great and would fit nicely into any custom figure collection.

by **grinchy** Sun Oct 24, 2021 4:24 pm

Cheers mate, i'm guessing there will be an new figure when they get around to the Jedi retro wave, probably in a board game, not sure if there was a retro game from Jedi not sure what new figure we will get

So i got a table for the snowspeeder, i can see it better than it being on top of the cabinet out of sight, its a great toy, pleased with how it looks now

That looks great Ian.
I love the weathered look they gave the snowspeeder.

by **grinchy** Wed Oct 27, 2021 9:19 pm

Cheers mate, yeah it looks great for a factory paintjob, i did at first think i was going to add some more but i think it would be overkill,

by **Cardnut** Thu Oct 28, 2021 12:38 am

Always great to have items where you can easily see them and enjoy. That all looks excellent!

by **chris.75** Thu Oct 28, 2021 6:35 am

looks awesome next to your Falcon Ian. I also really like the weathered paint job. It also looks bigger than the original vintage one. very cool afro

by **grinchy** Thu Oct 28, 2021 5:54 pm

cheers guys, yeah its the black series one 6 inch scaled
