"Cool Star Wars miniatures find..." Topic

I thought other Star Wars collectors out there might appreciate this one. It is the figure set that comes with the Hasbro Monopoly Star Wars Saga edition. Eight figures (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Luke, Leia, Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, General Grevious) in roughly 32mm.
You can see them at this site: boardgamegeek.com/game/15046
I purchased just the figures at a very reasonable price ($3 including shipping) from the Hasbro replacement site here:

Just select Monopoly Star Wars Saga edition from the appropriate pull-down menu and you can find order info.
If re-based and painted, they would fit fairly well with the WOTC CMG line, if a little large (note: the bases are aweful). Much better, in my opinion, than paying $25 USD a piece for a rare character figure made of bendy plastic!

Clever gamer points to you, Smelly. Hasbro needs an international service as well so the rest of us can get in on the action. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Awesome! Nice work. I was looking for a metal young Obi-Wan and you have found him for $3.00 USD plus Leia in a metal bikini.

Thanks!

My wife just got given that for her birthday, she's already asked me to repaint the minis.

Toaster, how do they look in person? Good detail?

The detail is good, not excellent. There are some unfortunate mould lines, and the posing is slightly akward on a few figures, but no more awkard than that of some of the WOTC rares. However, I think the poses are great on others, especially Grevous, Maul, and Vader. I haven't painted mine yet, but I think they will look pretty good once finished.

Also, I just did a quick comparison between my WOTC Vader and the metal Saga Vader, and they are almost identical in size.

I'll post some pictures once I get around to painting them, whenever that might be LOL.
