TV-9D9 / Re: Andor (SPOILERS possible)
« on: February 25, 2025, 08:18 AM »
I like the format of 12 episodes broken into four weekly chapters of three episodes each. I guess each week will be a year.

So kinda like season one with several major story arcs spanning a few episodes each.   I like the potential time jumps to let things evolve off screen.

I can't tell you how stoked I am about 12 episodes of Andor.  Rogue One is still growing on me and I love rewatching that movie probably more than any other in the SW universe right now.  Having 12 episodes in that part of the timeline/universe is going to be so good.

My teenage daughter (who watches all the SW series with me) wants to re-watch season one to get ready for season two.  Not a lot really gets me excited about SW series/movies, but this has got me fired up.

Where is B2EM0?  Is he safe?  Is he alright?

Love the mix with the Steve Earle song.

There were a handful of characters I didn't catch in the trailer (although I didn't go frame by frame) that had semi-significant roles in season 1 - B2EMO, Brasso, Bix, Melshi, Vel, and Cinta.

Maybe Andor stays true to the Rogue One theme with pretty much everyone dying in service of the rebellion.

Where did you get your stand for the Shuttle?  Mine is parked with folded wings and I like the look of it in action.

It's this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/132338601155

It really just sits on top of a flat pedestal and I wouldn't recommend it if you're displaying in an area where kids or pets or even you would bump into it.  But it looks pretty.

That eBay seller has tons of custom stands for various ships and other toys... I have a few others like one for the B-Wing and one for Obi-Wan's starfighter with the hyperspace ring...

Shipping is from Australia and takes a few weeks, but it's good stuff.

Awesome!  Thanks!

I'm sure there is enough value in the franchise that if Hasbro decides they don't want to spend the energy on SW toys that Disney would find someone else that is interested.

I like your Holy Grail.

I guess Trump's anti-DEI initiatives haven't killed Disney's pride droid releases.  Yakface is reporting a new pride droid for 2025 - C1-RN8W

Looks pretty sharp!

(Thanks Jeff for moving my thread - looks like we created it at the same time)

Collector's Tips / Re: Platoon Systems Action Figure Stands

Let us know how they work.  They're close enough to Marauder stands that switching wouldn't be a challenge for me.

Haven't tried those. 

I use the Marauder stands that someone here suggested.  I like them.

Similar concept of interlocking bases if you want to arrange troops.  I just use them for displaying regular figures to ensure they stay standing for years without toppling (I also write the UPC number on a sticker on the bottom in case I want to cross-reference my database to know where a specific figure comes from).

The sad reality is that every single TVC figure has a different depth figure peg hole, and they're generally very shallow.  I generally need to use a Dremel motor tool to customize each peg to its figure.

I'd be interested in understanding if these work any better or if its a similar challenge where you've got to tweak the peg to match the foot.

The older figure lines were much better at having standard sized foot peg holes.  TVC is a hot mess.

I'm just happy that we got another main character from Andor so I'll take the imperfections so long as they build out 5-6 key characters so you could reasonable have a small spot in your display that represented Andor.

Looks really nice Scott.

When does the preorder window open for non-premium members?  My membership lapsed.

I believe it's an hour difference, so now for you.

So stupid.  Are these going to sell out?  Do the Premium members need to feel like they're getting some value for their membership other than free shipping?

I also thought I was going to have to completely redo my rebel hangar table, but I saw someone use a keyboard stand to hold the ghost and I gave that a try.  Looks great!

Do you have an image or link to the keyboard stand display?
