Nice. I got Ackbar and Endor Han for Christmas. Also picked up a carbonized Incinerator Trooper for 11 bucks. Need a Lando at all? My local Wal Mart is swimming in Bespin Lando.My four most recent Star Wars acquisitions:
Every store in America is probably swimming in Bespin Lando. They should have kept him at two per case assortment instead of three.
Yeah. It's annoying. More annoying is the fact that the only Incinerator Troopers I have found have been the carbonized ones.
I admit, I've never entirely understood the idea of making modern figures using more primitive retro molds. I mean, I get that it's a classical style, but it's also a figure that often has the same weaknesses (lack of articulation and limited accessories, among others). Perhaps I'm just spoiled by modern toy evolution. 
I just got this.
Honestly, it depends on the figure. Some a lot of fun, especially when they look similar to older figures that I already have. Other's it is kind of like a little novelty item harkening back to when I first started getting action figures. It's just a bit of silly fun.I admit, I've never entirely understood the idea of making modern figures using more primitive retro molds.

Which, for me, is what action figures are all about is having fun.
I got this today:

I can't say for sure but is it possible he was the chase figure in his wave assortment or had a limited production run? I know that in Star Wars collecting the one-per-case figures are often the ones that command the higher prices on eBay.
well might as well tell you about my oldest accusation since I started collecting in 2016. General Blitz from the often forgotten SGT Savage GI Joe line. This was my first because I saw the cartoon on VHS as a kid and wanted to buy it when i became an adult. My nostalgia is strange
Not actual picture mine is in storge

Doesn't sound strange at all.well might as well tell you about my oldest accusation since I started collecting in 2016. General Blitz from the often forgotten SGT Savage GI Joe line.

Im just not really big on the regular line I dont like the future weapons, I prefer ww2 setting witch is the reason why the SGT Sav line didn't sell well because no kids cared about ww2
Ww2 sells better today. I would recommend Marauder Task Force to anyone who wants figures in 3.75 scale and WW2 era.
Right now im going through the catalog to see witch star trek playmates I want to try to check off. Their perfect because their good quality and not very expansive. Its a very good starter collection i want to check off. One day i hope to get all the 4inches, not really into the 6's and 9's
Fair enough. Figure Realm has decent checklists. But, I know a couple of local vendors if you need help hunting some down
