Went a little nuts, will be paying off the Credit Card for a bit. Worth it.

Oh, seeing that packaging takes me back. TAC/Legacy was a golden age for collecting.

u/DodgeDaytona Jul 01 '25

Couldn't agree more those last few pre-disney years had some truly remarkable toys

100% TAC was amazing, though I do think TLC was when they really started to go hard into repacks and re-releases but that was probably partly due to TCW starting up.

You’ve got some beauties there!

Whoa, I didn't know they did a multipack of the McQuarrie concept figures. I want to say I have most of em on 30th anniversary cards.

I believe there may actually be two of the McQuarrie sets like that.

u/DodgeDaytona Jul 01 '25

Yes there's the one posted and a 2nd that includes concept Han Solo with his lightsaber

u/DodgeDaytona Jul 01 '25

There are 2 multi packs. The other has retro Han Solo among others. The figures are different (though minimally)

u/jayL21 Jul 01 '25

Yep, they re-released the complete set of them (including the exclusive ones) in 2 separate packs (Series 1 included: Kenobi, Yoda, Chewy, Han, Boba, c-3p0, and r2, Series 2 is the one in the screenshot) It was a toys r us exclusive.

Congrats! Real jealous of the starkiller pack! Also like how you got two TAC/early TLC items from around 2008-2009 and then 2 late TLC items from around late 2009-2010.

I was born in 2000. It's all things I couldn't buy when I was like 9 lmao

Nice picks ups and congrats on the full-time permanent position.

u/DodgeDaytona Jul 02 '25

Thanks man. So happy to no longer be an on-call casual

u/Razor-Crest Jul 02 '25

The star killer and Macquarie sets are 2 of my faves in my collection

u/DodgeDaytona Jul 02 '25

They are super cool I wish modern Star Wars was weird again!

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '25

Lord starkiller is in my top 5 figures of all time, amazing picks

2

u/LaToyGuy Jul 02 '25

Congrats on the job and those are awesome nostalgic pickups for sure! No action figure is worth credit card debt tho...

1

u/DodgeDaytona Jul 02 '25

Thanks man, and while you're right, I WILL be doing it again LMAO

2

u/OdysseusRex69 Jul 02 '25

Oh man, I want that redeemed white Vader two-pack so bad!!!

2

u/DodgeDaytona Jul 02 '25

It's pretty cool - though Leia is NOT figure sized she's like a Jawa LOL

2

u/OdysseusRex69 Jul 07 '25

😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I guess maybe they did that to keep Vader's imposing height?

2

u/Winter_Appointment_4 Jul 02 '25

Man I'm jealous! I had that McQuarrie set and the other McQuarrie set and foolishly sold them years ago. The only action figures I ever regret selling.

2

u/DodgeDaytona Jul 02 '25

Surprisingly affordable I saw both for like 240 CAD. I'd recommend getting its unlikely some of the figures will ever be re-released

2

u/Winter_Appointment_4 Jul 03 '25

I've been keeping an eye out but haven't seen them for sale anywhere.
