That business with Luthen and the Imperial cruiser was some of the best Star Wars ever.

TV-9D9 / Tales of the Jedi
« on: November 1, 2022, 12:59 PM »
I didn't see a thread for this...

What did you all think of the series?  Aside from the sort of dull opening episode, I thought the rest was really good.  The Dooku arc was really well done.

33
I hope seeing the success of Eternia pushes Hasbro to finally do a new USS Flag...that's a grail item many would be happy to scratch off their wishlist.

I don't know what I would do with this, or what divorce attorney to hire, but I don't think I could pass this up were it offered.

Kenner Retro Collection / Re: 2023 Kenner Retro Collection - ROTJ

How many times does Lando (Skiff) need to be a total dog at retail?

The Legacy Collection speederbike was an all-new mold and it's excellent. The only problem is that it was a TRU exclusive. Allegedly they lost the mold for it though, so that's probably why they're doing the full resculpt (again).
I thought there was a new version around the same time as the 6" version but I didn't see any results when I (casually) searched for it.  I sort of remember wondering why they didn't use the same flight stand as the 6" model.

36
Definitely not excited for the cost of it... but I'm happy to get a new speeder bike, and supposedly a new Scout Trooper as well. Knowing the endless repacks will be a part of the plan, I'm ok with it.

Agreed.  I'd be happy getting one that isn't the same basic version as the one made in the 80's.  And a new, more modern Scout would be welcome too.  That other stuff can be left to the completionists.

37
Agreed 100%...remakes of the Kenner figures at prices close to what loose real Kenner figures sell for are nuts.


I definitely think this is aimed more at carded collectors than loose collectors.  They really haven't hit of those really HTF vintage figures yet.

TV-9D9 / Re: Kenobi (Disney+) - (SPOILERS possible)

What were we supposed to take from Obi-Wan looking at the box of lightsabers that members of The Path had collected? 

Were they from dead Jedi? If so, how did The Path get them?

Were they from Jedi that have gone in to hiding and didn't want them anymore - similar to what Kenobi did by burying his and Anakin's saber in the desert?  Does that mean Quinlan Vos is out there in hiding and left his saber behind?

I think the insinuation is that they were from Jedi who left their past behind them to go into hiding juxtaposed with Kenobi doing the exact opposite. 

I just don't know what to say if nothing in this series made an OT fan smile.  I thought it was awesome.  I think that people just need to get rid of their "head cannon" and enjoy the ride.

The toxic negativity of every online fandom is almost suffocating.

The 8 year old me LOVES that Vader.

What I find odd is that Reva has yet to use the two-blade version.  She is the only one who doesn't wear it Tron-style on their back.

Collector's Tips / Re: Moving a collection

Can't blame a guy for trying, LOL.  That's the one missing helmet that I really want for my display.

Try not to let the stress get to you.  The upshot is that it seems like you found a new place fairly quickly which can be the real pain point from what I hear.  I moved about a year ago and we didn't really feel that pain as the first house we wanted we got into.  It went up on a Tuesday and we were under contract on Thursday.  Fast!  When we sold our condo, we were under contract 7 hours later.  If you were able to skip looking at a million places and getting denied, count yourself as lucky.

Massive progress!

I am just now getting to the end of finishing my basement and I feel your pain!  I am struggling to find space to display all the items I'd like to (and it is a tiny fraction of what you originally had out).


I love the saber collection you have and was wondering where you got those wall mounts.

If you ever decide to part with your helmets, I know someone (me!) interested in that Kylo Ren mask.

Here’s a new one:

I won on auction earlier today, at least I think I did, where I was the only bidder. However, eBay refuses to acknowledge that I actually won the auction. No confirmation email, nothing. When I click on the item page it says “We’re determining the winner. Please refresh the page.”  ???

I googled it and couldn’t find any reference to this on the internets. WTH?

Try using an incognito window and check the auction without being logged in to see what it says.

Remember that guy (I think he was somewhere in South America) that made that huge 3.75" scale Sandcrawler?  I'd love Hasbro to do something like that!

Michael Fright!

He also made a Rebel Blockade Runner that was scaled to 3.75" scale that he hauled around on a flatbed semi.

How about an Endor Bunker?
