Hasbro Star Wars - IG-88 - Or maybe its the Death Star 2 main computer.

Was in the local supermarket and from a habit which i can't seem to doing even though i don't collect anymore i thought i check out the toy aisle, which i always do anyway. Looked at the new Hasbro 3 3/4 IG-88 and thought  "your mine"

EU - IG-88 > DEATH STAR 2 MAIN COMPUTER, fair enough.

Been a while since i actually bought a Star Wars action figure that's not a Clone or Stormtrooper, this guy is quality!  Great detail and lots of articulation, which is much better than the 1/6 scale one i got up in the loft somewhere.

All i got to do now is resist buying more except some Jawas, they'd be cool to get.
Not as affordable as i remember?

You know what I would like to see? A Jawa Sandcrawler in 1/144. That would be cool.

i saw them in a local market too, but although they r pretty good in detail, articulation & paint job as u mentioned, i promised myself not to buy anything from Stars Wars & fortunately i’ve kept my own word (with only 2 lil’ exceptions) =)

It's always feels good to find some surprises at local supermarket especially if it's on sale. That's is some pretty nice pics taken.

Cheers all.
Ive found a cool blog called Strobist, has lots a cool ways to use digital camera and make a cheap one like mine be able to take decent photos. Finally learning what all the settings are about.

Matt - there has been a 1/144 Sandcrawler realsed, Fantastic Plasic i think, quite expense where i saw one on ebay. Shame about Anigrand not doing Star Wars anymore, reckoned a Sandcrawler would have been in the works.
