So It seems like the well is starting to run dry over seas, or maybe it's just a lull before they dump more stuff. How did we do on the Unreleased Series?
Star Wars 5: I have fully Painted production level, everything but R5-D4, Wampa, and Luke Hoth. (I do have test shot Wampa and Luke hoth, lol) I have a number of Black Based I'd love to swap for Chrome based if anyone is still wanting to do that. I also finally got a plo Koon with Labels and a Blue Saber QuiGon.
Marvel 2: I believe I got all the new molds, Most in Painted production, Storm I know I dont have a good one in Test shot or Production, Test shot is damaged. I passed on getting the Mucked up Battle Master in hopes a better one shows.
TF2: Of the new molds I have Production or Test shot of all but Soundwave and Prowl.
TFMovie: I have production versions of all the small figures I think, and I dont have any of the 3 Battle Masters.
TF3: As far as I know none is out there.
I may try and round up photos of my lots.

Hey buttersstotch (and the rest of the gang),
Yep, things have been pretty dry around here lately. I usually check in every day but there hasn't been much to post about. I've actually been pretty lucky when it comes to picking up SW5 figures on eBay (except for my last and elusive Gamorean that someone always outbids me on!) considering that these were cancelled figures I thought I'd never see. I have an odd/anal system of Attacktix collecting where I need certain numbers of certain figures and for the most part I've done pretty well...
Painted/Production Star Wars S5: Hoth Soldier (9 out of 10 figures in hand) Snowtrooper (5 out of 10 figures in hand) Imperial Cadet (not collecting - not a 'cannon' fig in my opinion) Battle Droid (2 out of 10 figures in hand) AT-AT Driver (4 out of 4 figures in hand) Gamorean Guard (3 out of 4 figures in hand) Ponda Baba (1 of 1 figure in hand) Luke Skywalker (1 of 1 figure in hand) Lando Calrissian (1 of 1 figure in hand) Yoda (1 of 1 figure in hand) Dengar (1 of 1 figure in hand) Zuckuss (1 of 1 figure in hand) Red Leader (1 of 1 figure in hand) Plo Koon (1 of 1 figure in hand) Qui Gon Jinn (1 of 1 figure in hand) R5-D4 (0 of 1 figure in hand) no luck on this dude [surprise, surprise]. Does anyone know the exact wording of his special power? Emperor (1 of 1 figure in hand) Kit Fisto (1 of 1 figure in hand)
Plus Luke, Wampa and all Starter Set figures.
buttersstotch, I might be interested in trading some chrome figures to ya. PM me what you are looking for.

Nobody on this forum has ever actually seen an R5D4 painted/production figure - or - if they have they are keeping it a secret. No one has posted images/info about the figure and they never, ever appear on eBay. I'm sure some exist but they are rarer than the dodo bird. It's the last figure I need (for the most part) to round off my S5 collection as well. Your chance of finding one here are extremely slight but I wish you luck.

I can say with pretty good authority there are some out there, but none have been sold publicly (that I'm aware of). I'm thinking its unlikely to turnip (or horseradish) any time soon. Granted I didn't think some of the figures that recently cropped up were going to again either (Test Shot Arcee, Strongarm) So who knows by this time next year we may be swimming in them. But that's unlikely. Sfx: I'll actually get your some info on what I have floating around and we can maybe work out a deal of some sort this month. School has been nuts again.

thanks for you information, I will searching for this figure every week and if I´ll found it, I will tell you immediately and post the image.
In other hand, about marvel figures series 2, I need Storm, Grey Hulk and of course Colossus. I lost the Colussus auction on ebay in a few months. This auction closed in $144, to expensive for me in that moment.
See you.

SW-5, R5-D4, oh my, so excited when received it, only to find that the spinner doesn't work and then tried to fix it, big mistake...made things worse and damaged the shell!
Have plenty of factory Battle Droids with chrome base and Snow Troopers. And two Wampa & Luke Battlemasters new in box.
Could use another Imperial Cadet since the factory one I have doesn't have a back label, no biggie. Could use a couple more Hoth Soldiers, only have two production.
Marvel Series 2, have everything except Grey Hulk and factory Torch, very much want another Factory Storm since the missile fires very weak and I don't want to mess with trying to fix it (have plenty of proto Storms, even painted one in variant color quite nicely). Have Colossus Mega, molded and casted a missile for it in clear and it works pretty good.
TF2, have Soundwave and Prowl unpainted, looking for Arcee and Strongarm proto or production. Have all the movie Battlemaster Megas except the double hand blast Megatron. Would love to come across TF3...

Your words suggest you have a Painted R5, would like to see it. Also a few Marvel 2 Painted I'd like to see, Storm, Jean Gray. My one storm is a test shot with some hair issues.

attacktixman, I have been DYIIIING to know the exact wording of R5's effect. Did yours have an effect sticker? What does it say?

Attacktixman
Really do you have the three pieces that I searching for?
Could you post the R5D4, storm and colossus photos please?
If you or somebody have these figures painted, I want to make a offer to buy them, I know that is almost impossible but I must to try it.
Attacktiman, Would you sell me one of your Storm protos?
About these 3 figures I only have a R5D4 prototype, without color and function.
Thanks.
