like i said in my previous text update, it was handled by Air21..
now i know that they don't deliver on a day-to-day basis, but operates according to a certain schedule..
actually the second batch is still composed of two different packages from a single seller and were sent on two consecutive days, but due to the scheduled delivery of the courier both packages were delivered to me at the same time..
the good thing is that they may not be very quick in terms of delivery, but they are organized..
in addition, the text update from their company is once again available...
now here's the actual update for my collection..
the first batch:
JEDI ORDER:
this is the Jedi Master during the time of the Clone Wars..
click here for a related entry...
this version goes with a full Clone Trooper Phase I armor mixed with some Jedi cape/clothing and equipment that makes him look like a medieval knight...
IMPERIAL TROOPERS:
actually the color coded ranking of ARC Troopers as well as other military forces is as follows: yellow for commander, red for captain, blue for lieutenant, and green sergeant..
so i'm still confused why this one is denoted as a commander...
they are armed with reciprocating quad blaster also called by names such as cip quad and heavy quad cannon...
i only realized recently that their armor is almost similar to the basic AT-RT Driver's armor..
you can view some AT-RT Driver design here..
the major differences are: the helmet's antenna or optical instrument (in it's case) being on the right side instead of the left, the paint pattern, the backpack, and the belt and kama...
this form of imperial trooper is deployed in aquatic environments or planets, the most common being the planet of Dac or Mon Calamari...
and the second batch:
GUNGAN:
this version of Gungan warrior goes with a cesta (the long staff-like weapon) and a farseein which serves like a huge binocular for them...
IMPERIAL TROOPER:
also known as Coruscant Guards, they serve as the private army and bodyguards of Emperor Palpatine..
they serve the emperor under the leadership of Commander Thire...
this one has a quick-draw feature for the right arm, which is done by pressing the right leg or specifically the thigh inward..
this is also my very first imperial trooper that goes with a black DC-15 blaster rifle with a shoulder stock painted with brown...
DROID ARMY:
also known as Droideka which is a compound word composed of the basic term 'droid' and the Colicoid suffix 'eka' meaning 'hireling' or 'drone'..
considered the strongest among the basic droid infantry units, they are armed with powerful weapons and are also capable of deploying force-like, semi-transparent shields..
in addition, they can also round themselves up like a wheel for faster movement...
this type has a firing-projectile feature for both arms, which is done by pressing the rear end of the missile-like red projectiles downward...
and after these recent transactions, i was able to reduce my Estimated Rate per unit from 460.45 to 452.80 Php..
plus i also got a new storage box which is the Clone Trooper Squad (Legacy Collection) packaging..
Great Deal...^_^
