I used to post on here quite often, but the site is SOOOO slow these days that I can't even get the main page to load up on my 56k modem. :ermm:

Found most things up to #40 at various mainstream...

I've been working in Miami for the past couple of weeks.
While I've been here, I've found and bought:

OTC Bespin Leia (Dadeland Target)
OTC Biker Scout (Dolphin Mall KB Toys)
VOTC Han, Luke,...

Yes, I saw them in stock today too.
They've also just received the Coruscant Nightclub wave today - £8.99 each. :rolleyes:

FP London are now stocking the Hailfire Droid & the Hoth 4-pack (Luke's broken-horned Tauntaun variant).

If you're planning to buy both, don't expect much change out of £60... :rolleyes:

The event was held all in a large hangar the size of a sports-hall.
I think it was hall no. 4 out of 8.


Anyway, Concept Stormie -
Interesting figure, and doesn't look TOO out of place...

Certainly did! I'm away from home (and toys!) for a couple of days, but I'll knock something up and edit this post when I get back.....

Woohoo!

Just got back from the London Expo (www.londonexpo.com) in the docklands, where I managed to pick up:

Anakin's Starfighter (£23);
Bail Organa, Janus Greejatus, Elean Sleazebaggano,...

Yes, they are expensive, although they do tend to get new stock promptly and on a regular basis. (HUGE delivery this week of Faytonni/WA-7/Palpatine wave!)
However, for an item whose price is just a...

I think someone's been switching the labels around - that same handful of Clone Pilots has been warming the pegs at FP for months, at the lower (but still excessive) price of £10.99.

Mine came from an eBay seller in Cornwall.
Nothing to do with R2DToys on that occasion, although I've acquired a lot of pre-releases recently (Faytonni, WA-7, etc.) thanks to John & his team.

Apart from the pre-release Kitik that I got my hands on last year, the only one I've ever seen available is the one...

I dropped into Forbidden Planet's *new* London store (Bloomsbury end of Shaftsbury Ave) today and saw Dannl Faytonni, silver Boba Fett (£14.99) & the Geonosian Fighter (£31.99).
Had to laugh at the...

The same retailer has received a case of ARC Troopers.
I picked up two of this figure last night and there were about 8 left, costing £6.99.

In spite of its critics, I think this is a very fine...

The Clone Wars Gunship repaint has hit the shelves of Brent X TRU, although I couldn't see the price-tag anywhere. Considering that the new TIE Fighter is going for £29.99 (even more than at...

Last night at Brent X TRU:
Various Saga 2003 from Acklay Obi-Wan to Wat Tambor & Coleman Trebor - £2.99

Today at Forbidden Planet:
Clone Wars Jedi 3-pack & Jedi Starfighter (among others).

Latest wave has arrived at FP - Vader, Leia, 3PO and Padme.

Passed on the first three and I've already got Padme on order....

Well, the green A-Wing has arrived at TRU! I dropped into the London Brent X branch last night and there were two of them on the shelves.
I didn't see a price-tag . . . but then I wasn't looking...

No, I don't think the "real" shop is staffed anymore - they're mail-order only now, apart from the occasional stall at shows.

I've never been to that branch of TRU, but the ones I *have* been to have been quite slow to stock the 2003 waves. However, the TRU chain seems to be having a sale of 2002 Saga at the moment, so you...

Hi Ironfist, hope you enjoy your trip to London.

Forbidden Planet on New Oxford St (Tube - Tottenham Court Road) is a good place to window-shop, as it has quite a wide selection of new and older...

My thoughts exactly. Now I know why I haven't been to any BBQs this year yet.

If I ever see a set with the yellow clone commander I'll probably pick it up, but hopefully not at those sort of...

London Forbidden Planet had a delivery of the first 2 Clone Wars builder sets today (Droideka Launcher, 3-droid assortment & Clone Troopers), but at ridiculously high prices (up to £18.99).
The...

London Forbidden Planet are up to speed - I've just found both the Youngling sets on their pegs, along with Hoth Han (blue coat), Mynock Chewie, Spider Droid, and Kamino Deluxe Obi-Wan & Jango.

Maybe TRU have had a change of heart... well, we can at least pretend:

Went to the Brent X outpost today - no 2003 product, but at least all SW Saga merchandise is on 50% sale!

I don't know if...

The Sandtrooper 4-pack is now in stock (£18) - just ordered mine at last!

It looks like they've also had a new delivery of some of the latest deluxe figures (SBD, Spider Droid, Jango,Obi-Wan)...
