Ditto - Got Evazan this week and the got the same notices for Chopper and Callahan coming 4/15

Looks like my 4x Snowtroopers ended up in the box with Chopper and Callahan as well!  Glad to finally get to check those out (and figure out how many more I want to get when that rumored 4-pack goes up for pre-order).

Just a reminder that the Hasbro SWC Japan panel is at 11:30am local time on Friday, April 18th.

Got word from Amazon that the 501st Troopers are shipping soon... should be here next week (4/16) for me.

It's a little late to the party since BOBF came out so long ago, but I am really digging this 4-pack. 

Lots of new parts (the drum kit attachment on R0-1N6; the serving plates attachment on J7R-T) - hope this one is relatively easy to get...

The Vintage Collection / 2025 TVC Troop Builder Snowtrooper 4-Pack

We were all hoping it was coming...

Despite not being officially announced by Hasbro yet, a Snowtrooper Troop Builder 4-pack was recently sold on eBay...

My question is, I had heard that Hasbro moved production into Vietnam and India.

Hasbro has diversified some SW stuff into Vietnam.  Mainly the much simpler stuff.

I think it was around 2015/2016 that I first noticed the occasional "made in Vietnam" on packages -  Stuff like the Rogue One 2-packs.




I think right now, most of the TVC Stuff is still made in China because the level of quality/parts/paint requires more experienced factories while most (if not all) of the Epic Hero 4" scale stuff is made in Vietnam, like Boba Fett here -

The Toys R Us flagship store is really TRU in name only.  Lots of old inventory that looks like it’s a step above Ollie’s, but with regular retail prices.  It’s a joke.

The TRU Store at Mall of America here in MN is the same way.  It's always socked with stuff... but that stuff is all rejects from the past few years.  Not even sure where/when/who they are getting their stock from.  It's fun to walk around in but I never buy anything...

TV-9D9 / Re: Tales of the Underworld (Disney+)
« on: April 4, 2025, 02:47 PM »
I used to like the old "Tales of..." novels that these series are a bit reminiscent of.

I re-read those Tales from the Cantina and Tales from Jabba's Palace so many times and still sort of use that for my official head cannon for those characters.   

I'd love to see something like that for this animated series too.  Six short episodes for each location, each showing a little bit about the random aliens from Cantina or Jabba's palace would be really fun.

New Season of "Tales of" starts up on May 4th.  Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane are the focus this time.

Yet another Thrawn is boring, but I'm pretty excited to finally get Joruus and Pellaeon.

Also hoping that since Mara Jade won the March Madness poll this year, that increases the chances of Hasbro doing a TVC HTTE Luke, Luuke, and Mara set next.
