Hello, Really getting into collecting this line of late, my collection is of a modest size. Just wondering what people do with their collections? I have opened the Force Awakens characters to display loose and the figures from the older films I just have displayed in their boxes. Heck I even have two of them signed when I met Rey Park (Darth Maul) and Kenny Baker (R2-D2) at various comic cons. Buying doubles to open is quite an expensive game so I was wondering what are people's preferences when collecting these? Cheers  |

I open them all and display them loose because it's fun to have them in poses if I want to. I keep the boxes under my bed though. Unlike WWE stuff it'd be quite easy to put them back in their boxes if I ever needed to.

I have them all in package for now (except loose Anakin and R2 I purchased.) I just got a house in November and when I eventually get to fixing up my video game room I'll open and display them all.

Nice collection there, Ben - #6 Munchie ! While we're on the subject, has anyone found the Wave 4 figures anywhere (#12 First Order Snowtrooper, #13 First Order General Hux, #14 X-Wing Pilot Asty)? Smyths seem to have skipped them and gone straight to Wave 5 (Han, Jango Fett etc.)...  |

Nah I think we're getting them in reverse, as all online retailers have them pre-order dated end of March I believe! |

Wave 4 is up for pre order on Forbidden Planet for a March release, as Ben - #6 Munchie said, we seem to be getting them in a reverse order for whatever reason. I'm not to fussed, as long as we get them. General Hux looks really sweet! |

Cheers guys... I think I'll pre-order them, just in case - they seem to sell-out quite quickly at the Smyths I go to(!).

Right guys, quick question/thought. Ben - #6 Munchie SteveHulk GBGav laythvandamI know this started off as a question thread. But how would you guys feel if we kept this thread going as a pickups, buying and findings thread? We can keep up with what we've all been buying, is this a good deal type questions etc.. & posting when new series hit shops/what stores they're at. Feedback is appreciated if anyone has any ideas. |

Might as well make it an official Star Wars thread (even though unstickied but that's not necessary anyway since this isn't going to drop down the page much.) Quite a few of us are into the figures so rather than getting findings mixed up with the WWE ones in the findings thread this couldn't hurt.

Seems like a good idea to me! My Han (original) and Greedo came today! Love them both! |

Definitely. Not like there is much else happening on this board right now. Has Kylo Ren been rereleased? I've noticed his price has dropped a lot on eBay recently so I wondered whether it would be worth buying a double of him. I kept my one MOC but I have been increasingly tempted to open it. |

Not sure laythvandam I know Phasma was re-released in the wave with Old Han & Jango but I haven't seen a Kylo anywhere recently. Is it possible that the price dropped because of the Starkiller Base Kylo dropping in price and becoming more available on more online stores for a cheaper price? I ordered X-Wing Luke last night. £57 Moc. Definitely the most expensive one I've bought so far. Only 5 to go now. |

Got IG-88, Orange box Stormtrooper & Orange box CloneTrooper in today. I got IG & Clone from Forbidden Planets website, can't fault them. They always package them really well. Clone has probably the most mint box I've got.

Feedback is appreciated if anyone has any ideas. ...sounds good to me! I was actually thinking of doing the same thing, lol. Has Kylo Ren been rereleased? I've noticed his price has dropped a lot on eBay recently so I wondered whether it would be worth buying a double of him. I kept my one MOC but I have been increasingly tempted to open it. Well, Kylo Ren has been released a few times - he was packed 2 per-case (the only one packed more than once) in the first wave, then repacked in the third wave, and again in the fourth wave (...I don't think we've had this series yet though...). So yeah, he's been pretty easy to find... still an awesome figure though. |
