Alberto recently purchased a case of Entertainment Earth Astromechs that hooked up Dale and I. At this writing Alberto still has 1 or 2 sets of these if anyone's interested. Audrey and I have had good experiences with the Sci Fi Book Club and the FIDM shop this way. Post your deals here or make suggestions for future deals. Currently, I've got two pending. The first is a pair of Lucas Family Figures from SWS with Dale. Then this week I ordered three crispy helmetless Vader mini-busts for Dale, Susan, and myself. Each pre-order will take weeks to arrive, but it's nice to know they're in the works. -Campbell

If I know you and you can collect it soon after it arrives (in August) I'll place an order for myself and another if I get a response. It's just to save on shipping, so if it's not convenient to see me then you should probably order your own. Those of you I see regularly, though, please consider it, we can save a few bucks. Or if you want to order, I'll ride along on your order.

Posts: 6068 Tue, Aug 8, 2006 7:12 AM Consul - Orlando System Baron Admin	Well, auctions seem to indicate that the chase is a reflective 3PO, but I was pretty sure I'd seen Commander Gree as the chase elsewhere so I'm not sure. I'm thinking Boussh was the chase for series 2. Hmm, I gotta check how much SWS was selling the other series for- $28 seems pretty competitive. I'm in no hurry, but I do plan to buy this 3rd set- my collection is complete to date.

If money and space were not an issue you could put me down for one of the 6 foot pieces. I loved "From the Earth to the Moon."

This is interesting and something I would do. Anyone interested? My Ally is the force. And a Powerfull Ally it is! May the force be with you!

I like them a lot and have probably been in about a dozen in the System, but it's more time than I want to spend to most often be the coordinator. If someone else arranges it, I will probably join in, though.

sabacc72	C4 McQuarrie Luke	#14	[url]	[-]
Posts: 6068 Fri, Jun 8, 2007 4:00 AM Consul - Orlando System Baron Admin	Remember during C4 when Hasbro had the McQuarrie Lukes available? They accepted many orders with a 25% off coupon that featured free shipping. Then we all got a letter reneg'ing the deal and saying we would be charged the $14.99 plus shipping as if there had been no discount. I am planning on cancelling my order but wanted to offer these figures at cost to two individuals that post on this thread between now and midnight. I don't care if no one responds- that's totally fine. I just wanted to offer these figures to people that might not have gotten a chance to get them otherwise. I must already know you (sorry, lurkers) and you must accept the figures in whatever condition they arrive in. To the best of my knowledge these will be exactly like the ones offered at C4 and CE, but will not sport the convention logo sticker on the Star Case.

I don't know for sure if the one coming from HTS.com is the same or not. I could care less for mine. I still don't have one, but I need to ask Sharon if she was able to get an extra.

Posts: 6068 Sat, Jun 9, 2007 9:03 PM Consul - Orlando System Baron Admin	That makes sense. I'm one of the people that would want the sticker, too. It was no problem, I have cancelled it now, just wanted to see if anyone needed one.

Posts: 6068 Fri, Jun 22, 2007 11:48 AM Consul - Orlando System Baron Admin	Justin, if you want to split a case of Wave 6 TAC figures I'm in. Since they are not coming in till October, you may want to wait till they have some sort of coupon. I got my Wave 4 pre-order with a $10 off coupon. Either way, I'm in if you are. Here's what's included: 1x Death Star Trooper 1x Imperial Stormtrooper 2x McQuarrie Concept Snowtrooper 2x Han Solo with Bespin Torture Rack 2x Lando Calrissian in Smuggler Outfit 2x General Pharl McQuarrie 2x 4-LOM If you want to split it down the middle, that works for me and I'll take the DS Trooper or the Stormie. If you for some reason want both of those, that's just as well.
