Likewise...thanks to suburban_ennui's report on these forums, I was able to get to a store branch that I'd checked many times before, just after it had stocked up on this wave. Added Rey and Han to our line-up.

Picked up this little gem at the warehouse in Manukau. It was sitting by itself looking lonely. SO I decided to give them a new home.

They are adorable~

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Real question

Easter eggs :D

For you hard core collectors do you eat the eggs or

eat and make a fake egg and re-wrap or

keep the egg as is

I had an imported Star Wars easter egg once, that I kept intact in packaging for a while once...they definitely don't last for ever :ohwell:

A pop culture shop here in Auckland has all the new figures.

$19 each, so $2 more than Farmers... and no half price on second figure offer of course... but I couldn't wait.

They also had Rex (very nice figure), Leech and 5th Brother.

Yes! My Fifth Brother, Captain Rex, Tasu Leech, Admiral Ackbar, Unkar Plutt, extra Hassk Thug, Resistance Rey, Sidon Ithano, First Mate Quigold, First Order Snowtrooper Officer and Snap Wexley figs are all on their way. Not being certain we'd see them locally, I managed to secure them all Statesides through a couple of awesome trade buddies. That was just before they started showing up here, but thanks to a traveling friend I won't have to pay international shipping on this lot, which means I ended up getting them for a little less than NZ retail - a nice bonus. :D I just have to be patient for a little bit longer, but it'll be like a second Christmas very soon. :D

Also coming: a bunch of new Micro Machines from wave 4 of the Blind Bag series. It looks like I will have some extras so I will offer them here first in case anyone wants them.

Nice haul Strone! Will be very keen to see some of these figures up close if they don't make it to NZ.
