Star Wars figures - a thread about lead

[joy_division]

The shop at deagnosti(makers of the figurines) doesn't even provide pics! It only shows pictures of the magazines. How craptastic is that?!

If your into collecting small SW ships...

De Agostini UK makes some decent small metal SW Ships.
Mounted on stands and in small clear display cases.

F-Toys Japan also makes some SUPERIOR small scale plastic SW ships.

However some need small decals applied so modeling skills are needed.

OK, here's the huge curly dog turd called Yoda:



And the way he came packaged and shipped from Diamond:



I only took the damaged package out of respect for the LCS and my good customer/preorder status. When I took it I told the owner to cancel all my Star Wars sh!t. He insisted that mine was the best of the bunch but I think he is lying.

The worst part was.. the d!ck didn't give me a discount for taking that crap off his hands.

WTF?!? $58 for 4 of those tiny figures?

Question: when you say $58 for 4 figures, does that include yoda and stormie as 1 or 2 pieces? Because they are essentially sold as 1

OK, 5. But as you can see.. Yoda doesn't really count.

Yes.

That is the same company that does the ships, which are halfway decent. They really blew it on the figures. Nothing even close to the quality we have seen on DC and Marvel stuff.

If you haven't taken them out of the cartons, you could always flog them on ebay and make some money back
