DJ Mauls Ultimate Star Wars Toy Room Tour, Part 21
Hey teen gang, I'm back!
Yes, the return of DJ Mauls Ultimate Star Wars Toy Room Tour Extravaganza Polooza Fest-arama Jumbo Jamboree!!!
Today's edition of the tour features the most recent additions to the collection since the last chapter.
Let's start with one of the most anticipated items for most collectors:
The George Lucas In Storm Trooper Disguise Figure!
For all of the aggravation I went through in getting this one and for all of my complaints on how Hasbro handled the promotion, I'm VERY satisfied with the figure itself and am happy I sent for it.
I displayed him with the five other UGH figs and will keep him in the box along with the rest of them.
Another new figure that I had on pre-order for months finally arrived:
The Star Wars Shop Exclusive Shadow Stormtrooper.
He has been displayed near next to my Clone Army shelf (covered last chapter) and I haven't decided yet if he remains in the box of if I open him at some point.
Speaking of new Troopers, a very special addition to the Clone Army is also here:
The 06 Comic Con Exclusive 501st. Stormtrooper!
Now you may be asking "Deej, how the heck did you get that figure? You didn't actually GO to the Con did you?"
NO, I wasn't at the Con, nor did I manage to score him in the very brief online sale.
BUT, it helps to have a FRIEND who DID go to the Con and offered to help me out....a very special THANKS goes out to Darth T-Bone for getting not only this figure for me, but for grabbing several other items for me at the Con as well!
What other items?
Well, how about the 06 Comic Con Gold Darth Vader TIE Titanium Vehicle which looks MUCH better in person than this picture shows...very shiny indeed.
He also managed to grab me the two new Acme Archives Clone Wars Cartoon Key Cells:
The Anakin Skywalker Key Cell which is a limited edition of 1000, and...
The Darth Sideous Key Cell which is the most limited edition yet, with only 500 made!
I missed out on the VERY limited online sale of these so there is NO WAY I would have gotten this one without T-Bone's help!
You so totally ROCK, dude.
I have a total of six of these key Cells now, and just to give you an idea of how they look together here is a picture of all six Key Cells on display.
Not only did T-Bone grab me those items I asked for but he also threw in a few Con Freebie items in my package, including:
Han Shoots First Button promoting the upcoming OT DVD release.
Hasbro Saga Collection Poster with all the figs from the Saga line.
A very cool Master Replicas Promotional Poster featuring some of their current and upcoming SW items.
Also this Gentle Giant Star Wars Bust Ups Poster which I still have to find a spot on the wall for.
Speaking of Bust Ups, I finally picked up a couple of these very cool little models. I found my local comic book shop sells them and so grabbed two of my faves:
Darth Vader & Clone Trooper Bust Ups.
I may grab a few more in the future as funds allow, although I doubt I'll try for a complete collection as there are far too many to keep up with.
This next addition to the collection was a find by another friend of mine, Oocleenee:
The Wal-Mart Exclusive Early Bird Figure Mail Away Package.
When this first came out back in 2005 I had passed on it, as I thought it far too expensive for figures I'd have to mail away and wait for, especially when there was so much other stuff I wanted ON THE SHELF and ready to take home.
Well, here we are almost a year later and my buddy Oocleenee finds them at his local Wal-Mart on clearance for just 10 bucks!
That was a far better deal and I was happy to grab one too! I still haven't gotten the figures in yet but when I do I will of course feature them in a chapter.
In the last chapter I showed a few Shocktroopers from the Target Exclusive "Skirmish In The Senate" set and mentioned there were also Yoda & Sideous figures with a Senate Pod in that set.
Well, it took me awhile to get it just right but I of course HAD to hang it on fishing line for a cool scene recreation. It's hanging just above my Titanium Vehicles shelf.
Speaking of TV's, only one new addition to that collection so far, the new Blue A-Wing Titanium Vehicle to go along with its older red version.
There are more new Titanium Vehicles coming this fall that I will be on the hunt for, these are some of my most favorite collectibles.
A couple of last items to round out this chapter...this next item I found in a discount bin at a food store for a buck:
Revenge of The Sith Pencil Set ....yea, I know, they wrote that $1.00 price in black marker on it which sucks but what the heck...
The last item today is an item I've wanted to add back into my collection for a very, VERY long time:
Marvel Comics Star Wars #1 comic book first print edition from 1977!
I got this one from eBay for a pretty fair price. It's not in MINT condition but is in overall pretty good shape for an almost 30 year old book!
As a self respecting Star Wars collector AND a comic book fan, I don't know how I managed to wait this long to add this piece to the collection.
Well that concludes this chapter of the tour, and as always I thank you all for following along and for your support.
Until next time!
