What did you buy at MM in 1999?

**General_Grievous** · 03-05-2005

I didn't go to MM in May 1999, I went to buy my figures on the day of May 3 with my mom and dad. But I found everything there that I wanted. I got:

Basic Figures
Darth Maul (I was lucky to score this baby)
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Qui-Gon Jinn
Jar Jar Binks
Anakin Skywalker
Battle Droid
Padme Naberrie
Queen Amidala
Mace Windu
Watto
C-3PO
Darth Sidious
Boss Nass
Senator Palpatine
Ki-Adi Mundi
Ric Olie
Gasgano w/ Pit Droid
Chancellor Valorum

That did it for May 3. But about a few weeks later, I also accumulated:

The Naboo Fighter
Anakin's Podracer
Sebulba's Podracer
Droid Starfighter 3-pack

What did you guys buy?

I bought a ton of figures that night:

Qui-Gon
Anakin
Obi-Wan
Darth Maul
Mace Windu
Padme
Queen Amadala
Ric Olie
3PO
Valloirum
Palpantine
JJB.
Battle Droids

The onlyone I remember passing on was Ki-Adi. I ended up getting him at a scalper shop(collectable place) for 20 bucks. And wouldnt you know, two weeks later he was everywhere.

I really don't remember what I got that night because I unfortunately wasn't able to go. But my brother went for me and I gave him $200 and told him to get as much as possible. I remember him waking me at about 1 in the morning to show me "my" finds. The only one that I remember not getting was Darth Maul and that's because my brother had him but let someone else buy him instead.

Didn't go to Episode I MM but that afternoon I hit Wal-Mart and TRU and bought all figures but Darth Maul. But I stopped at K-Mart afterward and found him so it wasn't a big deal. I also bought a CommTech Reader.

I did buy the deluxe accessory sets but wasn't too impressed with those after opening them. Also bought those "battle bags" but later returned them. I passed on the vehicles and beasts, but eventually bought some of them on clearance several months later.

Since I wasn't too enthused about the movie I was mostly apathetic about collecting the toys. I have a lot of holes in my prequel collection but I'm not really interested in filling them even today.

I also forgot to mention that I picked up the Opee and the Kaadu on May 3 as well.

**Bobby Fett** · 03-05-2005

I bought Darth Maul and an armload of Battle Droids. Those are the only carded Ep1 figures I own to this day.

**sith_killer_99** · 03-06-2005

I bought nothing.

But eventually I found every basic carded figure from the line. My EP1 carded collection is now complete, minus a few "variations" but I could care less about those.

I kinda wish I had the money to complete my bonus figure EP1 collection. I currently have several of the "Bonus Battle Droid" and a few of the "Bonus Pit Droid" figures carded. I would still have to drop a bundle to complete that collection. It's just not worth it to me, given my level of income.

**Droid** · 03-06-2005

I bought everything that came out at the first Midnight Madness for the 3 and 3/4 line.

In 2002, the day after Midnight Madness, I bought: Peasant Disguise Anakin, Arena Padme, Coruscant Chase Obi-wan, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, C-3P0, R2-D2, and female Tusken Raider. A couple days after that I bought Hangar Duel Anakin, Count Dooku, and Yoda. There are still some Episode II figures I don't have and I never bought any of the vehicles. In other words, I scaled WAY back.

**Kidhuman** · 03-06-2005

I forgot I also bought an Opee w/ Qui-gon and a 12" Amidala(no idea why I bought it). It was midnight and I was 100 sheets tothe wind....

Even though I was collecting SW toys at the time I didn't go to MM back in 1999. Eventually I did pick up all of the figures I wanted for my loose collection and a complete carded set to cover my walls though. Looking back I'm glad I didn't go because I probably would've bought into the hype and spent way to much money on what I feel was one of the weaker SW toy runs.
