SlaveII personally allowed me to make a sequel to his great thread "Latest Find", since the thread was too big and was having posting trouble. Like the original, this is a thread in which collectors posts their latest finds. It can be any item, as long as it is SW related in some way.

I picked up the Ody Mandrell w/ Pit Droid and 00M-9 figures yesterday. My birthday is coming up in 3 days, so I may pick up some cool stuff then.

So post your latest finds here, fellow collectors

I think I am the first to post here. If someone else doesn't beat me to it. And, it is an honor to post in my good friend SotS's thread.

What a great day for collecting! I walked into Wal Mart and found a wall of new figures! Dozens of new Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Darth Maul and Amidala. Plus, dozens of Nute, Rune, Yoda, Destroyer Droid, R2, Ody, Tarpals and OOM-9. They even had about 50 of the original Darth Mauls. I bought another Destroyer, Obi, Qui and Maul to open and display.

The exciting news was finding Naboo Anakin, Adi Gallea, Captain Panaka and Naboo Royal Guard. They had dozens of them too!! I was shocked. I haven't seen that many new figures at one time since May 3rd.

I also picked up the electronic 12" Qui-Gon. He sure has a mean look on his face.

What a great day!

SlaveII does your qui-gons left arm pop almost off, like it is just being help by a thin plastic rod. Mine does I was hoping it was not broken. It does help him hold the saber in 2 hands though so I guess its right. Whats yours like.

A whole wall? WOW, talk about hitting the mother load! I almost forgot some other stuff I picked up in my last post! I got POTF2 Luke, Han and Greedo on Saturday! And, I also happened to stop by Toys R Us today, they had tons of 'em! And I managed to finally get the Jawa! Is it just me, or do the commtechs on these figures actually sound like the actors? Well, at least it's a much better duplication than the TPM figures.

Found Panaka and Naboo Royal Security this morning...now I can get the Flash Speeder!

Has anyone ever actually seen the two new Classic Cinema scenes (Pilots and Guards?) Because where I live we never have had them...when should I resort to the secondary market on these two?

Is it me, or do the Gonk droids that come with the new Jawas refuse to stand down from that can-can pose. I'm assuming the button on their sides are supposed to help them simulate walking, but mine must have arthritis or something.

In case you hadn't figured it out, I now have the Jawa w/Gonk droid, as well as the new Han, Luke, and Greedo figs. Plus, I found Adi Gallia this past weekend, so that was a real bonus. All I need now is Panaka and the Royal Naboo Guard.

This is not exactly a find but today my brothers friend brought me a cool pepsi sign with Anakin and some podracers. It is just an averaged sized piece of cardboard but it looks cool and he stole it from his schools soda-machine. It made my day.

I'm having to save my money so I can go on a trip with some people from my school and I can't spend any money. BUT my mom will reward me for cheesy things like good grades and I found out what will be on my report card and my mom is getting me Naboo Anakin.

Slowly but surely, I am finding the new stuff. (I am sure purple4lee is glad that it hasn't all come in at once. )
I finally found Adi Gallia and the Tattoine Showdown and Jabba and the two-headed announcer. I have also picked up the Naboo Royal Guard and Panaka.

I found the Adi Gallia and Naboo Anakin I've needed for awhile at Wal-Mart... but then something caught my eye - the price was $13.65 for each figure! Ridiculous! I asked a manager if they had indeed intentionally put such a ludicrous price on these figures... the answer, "Yes!" Sorry, but Wal-Mart's getting blacklisted. This was the last straw! Grr!

How pathetic is my situation? While people are talking about finding Panaka and Naboo Anakin, my latest find was Captain Tarpals.

Today was a very good day for collecting. Walked into Wal-Mart and found about 20 original Darth Mauls, Nute, Rune, Yoda, Destroyer Droids, R2s, Cloaked Jedis, Naboo Anakin, and the only one I picked up was the, Finally, Tatooine Maul. Another long awaited item i bought was the Playstation version of The Phantom Menace, and I have to say the wait was worth it because it is a very cool game. Also saw those new, old comptech figs I've been hearing about on here. They had the Jawa, Greedo, Luke, and Han. One cool feature about the video game is that it has the dule of the fates music video on it. But still no sign of Adi Gallia.

I found a collectibles shop selling almost every Episode I poster for $3 each! The 'regular' ones are usually $6 and the 'limited edition' ones are usually $10. Shame I didn't get to pick up any yet, I spent all my cash on a WarCraft Human Footman and a StarCraft Protoss Zealot figure today.

I bought an Anakin Skywalker mousepad today. Also found the Art of Star Wars Episode I book too.

I saw, for the first time, a Flashback Photo Anakin Skywalker at TRU. I have one that I got from a friend. I was so shocked when I saw it. I couldn't pass it up. Now I have one to display.

Got a 12" Obi Wan from Forbidden Planet in London, they also had AC pit droids, Astro Mech Droids and Anakin, but I had to ration myself.
One of my fellow UK collectors sent me a cool Dorling Kindersly banner for EP1 Visual DIctionary and Incredible cross sections. It's about 1'6" wide and 5ft long, red cloth. I'll should have a photo up on my site tonight. http://www.thephantommenace.com/collecting

I found the 12" scale Ani and the Pit Droids. I still can't find Adi Gallia or Ani. My hubby saw CPT Panaka at WalMart this week, but thought I already had him. Still no sign of the royal guards here yet.

ok, today I got... The empty box that my MacroBinocular freeze frame viewer should have come in, with the bonus freeze frames!
I bought the binoculars about 6 months ago, but the guy sold them me in a bag. I only found out about the bonus frames about a month ago. I was in the shop today and I was asking the manager about the price of their FF figures, when she asked if I had the binoculars and if they came in a box. I said they came in a bag, and she went and hunted down the box they should have come in!

Just picked up the 12" Obi Wan today. Ahhh, Victory!!!!!!

I got it at Kmart in Pitts. after being tipped off by a fellow collector. They also had a Watto and a Battle Droid, but I only had enough $$$ for one figure. It was an easy decision.

nothing new in quite some time here in charlotte, but i haven't been searching too hard. i need panaka, the naboo soldier, and the 12" anakin and obi-wan assortments. i have still not seen the widevision series 2 retail packs anywhere. oh well, imho, it is better to search when much can be found, then the element of surprise can come into play.
