Re: TVC "2" WILL Have Repacks, So Which Ones Do You Want To See Again?

Endor rebel commando
Regular tk stormtrooper

But mostly I really want RO figures. There were barely any in the 3.75 black series line. I want the whole rogue one ground sqau, director Krennic, Saw, DEFINITELY a K2SO. And while we're at it, why not a sa tarkin, young mon mothma, kaanan jarrus. So many figures I'm hopeful for.

My last job was as the toy depart manager at my local Wal-Mart. I can vouch for this. It bugged the heck out of me when I'd get my case of black series in and Lando for example would be a different UPC not listed in the assortment.
What happened is that I got 12 figures in the case, but 5 were a different UPC. So when I sold those 5, it still showed 12 in my inventory. I was constantly changing my on-hands to get more figures in. But that's hard to do because store managers don't want to approve a seemingly sudden drop in inventory (looks like theft).

The nerf Apollo is only $20 USD and the mask is $20USD so this Mando set is like $50 dollars more. If it was only 20 more it might be worth it!

Yeesh, they are gouging. Sorry about the long link. Either way, I agree with you though, this is way too expensive!

Re: Rumor: The Vintage Collection Wave 1 May Not Exactly Be What You Expect

Caleb Amos — Sun, 21 May 2017 14:30:49 -0000

I suppose if they get those ones out of the way at first then they'll have to start producing some of the other figures. I just really hope there is a larger selection than has been thus far with the 3 inch black series. There are a lot of other figures that I want for my collection, many of which are from the new movies. I'd be okay if they focused on the new movies since they ready have a TVC like if OT figures. All I ask for is some variety.

I suppose for 40 dollars, some of these gripes could be legitimate, but for the 20 I paid on clearance at Walmart, I think this figure is fantastic. I actually like the rubbery plastic... And think the paint apps are pretty great. Either way, I love this figure. It's definitely one of my favorites and one of the few 6 inch I bothered buying.

Looking at this and the Hasbro online store made me remember how crappy star wars toys are right now... No wonder we can't get our hands on the black series figures. They are the only good toys from Hasbro right now basically... :(

Went out of stock in my cart. Honestly I couldn't bring myself to buy them though. They are 6 dollars in store right now and these figures don't matter enough to me to pay that kind of money. If they were new figures instead of repacks that would be different.

That would be great. Would buy 100% it would be like the old Endor bunker playset. Id set up a RO diorama like my Endor one too... httpsploads.disquscdn.com/i...

They really didn't do much. Shiny female stormtrooper in the trailers just caught the attention of the fanboys and the rest is history. It was the fans that made her look cool. All Disney did was show her walking down a hall in the trailers!

Re: From The Trash Compactor To The Pages

Caleb Amos — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 15:05:39 -0000

I find boba and phasma as equal, both cool. Let's be real. Every trilogy has them. General grevious? The guy that ran from every fight and then gets shot by a Jedi? Boba, the guy who gets launched into the sarlaac by a blind guy? Phasma the captain who get taken down by a wookie and shoved in a trash compactor?
Let's be real. The trash compactor reference was funny. In any case, we all like the stories of boba escaping the sarlaac, so why be any less excited for a story of phasma escaping?
