Anyone else looking for these ? Man Talk about a hard Grab. Most were Exclusives to conventions, then they were sold on Hasbro.com , however sold out by the time I checked my PM's. So Far I count Chewbacca, Obiwan/Yoda 2 pack, Luke , Stormtrooper, BobaFett, Darth, & a C3Po/R2 2 pack. Han & Leia are also comming,.. & I have not a one yet. :ugh_y:

Just wondering if anyone else is interested, or having luck collecting them. :googly:

Yeah,.. they were, for like an hour. If you bought from Hasbro's site in the past, they sent you an email. Saying they had them,.. click on the site, they were gone with everyone. Talk about false advertisment. :muh:

Off the shelf at Walmart, I managed to snag a stormtrooper, chewbacca, and a Boba Fett.

Off the Star Wars website, I snagged 2 C3PO's & R2D2 sets. Off the Hasbro site, I snagged 2 Luke Skywalkers.

I missed the Obi Wan & Yoda set, since I clicked too late, and I haven't seen Darth Vader yet. It's been hard going.

I got lucky with the stormtrooper & fett. I picked them up a few months after they had already been out.... and it looked as though my Walmart never got them. Then one day, they must have been cleaning out the back and found the box and put the wave out.

I got lucky and snagged the Stormtrooper when it first came out at Wal-Mart. Boba Fett I was lucky enough to snag at Target. Saw Chewie at K-Mart once but for some strange reason,I passed. Had a chance to pick up the Obi-Wan/Yoda on Hasbro.com but grabbed the R2-KT figure instead.

The ones at retail also have the Galactic hunt variations where they have gold foil on the package and a gold color coin instead of the silver normal one.

I've found the Stormtrooper and the Galactic hunt Chewbacca.

I only ever saw Chewbacca. Maybe they will re-release them as a complete set. If they don't do that I can't see getting any of them. It's a real slap in the face to fans to make these and they're not available.

just wait until the holiday is over and they will be everywhere. I bought most of them as they came out but not the exclusives until the hype is over. It's similar to the Silver Ann. figures and all the exculsives.

BK - I've been seeing the regular (Silver coined) McQ figures on the shelves now, especially at WalMart, Target, and TRU. The only one I haven't managed to get yet is the McQ Boba Fett concept.

Even the Luke & C3po/R2 ?
I never get very lucky with hunting StarWars figures,.. my luck happens when I am not looking.

Ten years ago I'd have been all over these, they are neat. I'm a recovering Star Wars junkie however....

I have four McQuarrie Concepts
Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Stromtrooper, and Starkiller; all Walmart finds. I wish I had bought the Chewbacca when I first and only time at Walmart. I hadn't started collecting them yet. Thinking about getting the General McQuarre Figure for the set.

These are among the few figures I'm leaving in the package. Right now I have Vader, Boba Fett, and a Storm Trooper. I've seen Vader a few other times, so if I see him again, should I pick him up for anyone here? I saw the Chewie and passed, but I'll grab him next time I see him. I'm really looking for the Leia and Han right now.

I have all but the R2/C3PO exlusive pack and the rebel trooper.

I got most in the stores, and the rest off eBay. It was definitely a subgroup that you had to dig around for, and look at multiple stores. (I went to multiple towns, even.)

^^^ My comicbook guy Joke's with me, he says Next X-mas they are going to release a gift set containing all the Mcquarrie Concept Figures. Thus Upsetting every "collector" that has searched all over the earth & paid hight dollar for them in the last couple of yrs. :smiley1:

You Know, I believe they will too, when I think about it. :muh:

Got the R2/3PO set now. Just need the Rebel trooper.

I doubt Hasbro will release the McQ figs as a set. They don't do 12 figure sets.

Aside from the convention exclusives, I haven't seen big prices on this line. Not on eBay anyway. But to me, double price is high (esp. if you then add shipping).

I have got all the McQ figures except the Rebel Trooper.

Also the McQ R2-D2 and C3P0,Luke Skywalker,were released with a different backer cards for Star Wars Celebration Europe.

The Grevous concept figure is an online exclusive for wwwstarwarsshop.com, although I don't know if I'm going to worry about him. He comes in the same packaging, but he wasn't designed by Ralph McQuarrie.

These were the first Star Wars toys that I've been excited about in years. I managed to pick up almost all of the non-exclusives at the local KayBee and Walmart. The rest I got good deals online, including the (non-McQuarrie) Grevious during the starwars.com Black Friday sale.

Our local KayBee just went out of business and sold everything they had -- fixtures, etc.

I went in there during their clearance sale right after Christmas and the rack was filled with a year's worth of SW McQuarrie and gold coin figures. Apparently an employee had been stashing them out back, someone found them and put them all out for sale at 40% off.

After all those months of searching I suddenly had extras to open and display with the rest of my loose figures.

I miss my local KayBee...

I haven't even scene any of these for a while now,.. Right before X-mas I went into one of my ToyRus's & They had like 25 of the McQuarrie Boba Fett's. I bought 3. One for me, the Boy & my Nephew. Saw a bunch of the Gold coined McQuarrie Chewie's at Walmart, about 4or5.. I picked one up,.. After shopping threw the rest of the store, I thought I'd go back & snag another,.. in a 20mins to a Half hour,.. the rest of em were gone. Probably bought by the same person.

The only thing I've seen lately is the McQuarrie figure himself.

I walked into Boscov's the other day, and on the front of the peg sat a Leia/Starkiller Hero. Behind that were two concept Han Solos.
