Look What I Unashamedly Bought Today

Went to the shops today and just couldn't help myself, I had to spend some money coz I was too weak to resist. Look what I unashamedly bought today.

Aurra Sing from the Star Wars Expanded Universe (meaning it's not from the main movies). Story is that she was a Jedi Padawan turned bounty hunter after the fall of the Jedi Knights. She later specialised in hunting Jedi under the mistaken belief that they abandoned and betrayed her.

Scorch or RC-1262, a Republic Commando who is one of the main fictional characters in the video game Star Wars: Republic Commando. Although he is a competent soldier and an excellent explosive technician, Scorch earned his nickname after an ordnance accident that left him without eyebrows for a short time!

This is Lobot who works for Lando Calrissian on Cloud City in Episode V. Guess how much I paid for this one, $1.85 nia! It's so cheap because it's very old stock and has depreciated in business term but for the staunch collectors, it's worth much much more than that! This can be classified as vintage item and will fetch a handsome price!

Now for the pièce de résistance, the DIE CAST Stormtrooper! This was on sale and it's half price, more importantly it is not made of plastic but metal! Woohoo! It also comes with it's own display case. Please don't hate me Sengkor!

WHOA! Another piece to add to your collection!! You;re like a big baby la, collecting Star Wars merchandise :) But it's good also, people don't have to crack their heads trying to figure out what to buy you for your birthday :)

Go for it. Buying these is a harmless habit - you could be spending the money on booze or drugs.
My guilty habit is radios - I can't help it.

Hmm... you buy them but do you unwrap them? Are you one of those fellows who like everything in mint collection untouched by dust and human hands so you can sell them for a fortune come 2020?
