The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Kmart Imperial Scanning Crew 2-Pack

Jeff, I think the adjustment window is only around a week or so. Your best bet might be to buy new sets on sale, and return them with your original receipts.

That's what I was afraid of... I'll save $12 if I can get the price adjustment, but I could waste that much in gas driving to/from Kmart a couple times a week looking for them again over the next month.  I may just cut my losses and be glad I found them already.  :P

Anyone know offhand the price adjustment window for Kmart?  I bought the sets last Thursday (10/17) and can't recall if it's 14 days or less to get a price adjustment...  would be nice to just get an adjustment instead of having to track down new sets again at the sale price...

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?
« on: October 22, 2013, 12:51 PM »
The press release says "one million TELEPODS figures in consumers' hands around the globe" and "With one million TELEPODS figures in consumers' hands", so I'd guess that's retail sales not retailer orders.

A few other things to note.  First, it's one million globally, not just US sales. Second, the one million number TELEPODS includes both AB:SWII and AB:Go! Telepods sales.

The idea I think is that he is being slowly healed by a spirit of community. I don't see how it serves to move the plot forward if he starts going nuts again.

I kinda thought that was the point of Rick's talk with Hershel... Rick was wondering if "you can come back" and Herschel tells him, 'your son came back, you came back'.  I though that was them telling us that Rick was healed/healing from the tragedy of Lori's death, but I guess I can see how people read that as Rick still worried because he is still hallucinating things (camping lady).

Here's another one from 2008 that basically spells out how the plan was to adjust the figures to create an animated/realistic hybrid design.

Here was the pic from 2008.  They started off in 2008 with the Hybrid Anakin, but later Clone Wars was closer to 'Animated' Anakin, while TVC Anakin was like the 'Saga' one shown here.

What is between the CW animated style vs. the more realistic main line style?  Honestly, I thought some of the aliens from the CW series fit right in with main line stuff, so not sure what a hybrid of these two would look like. 

2008 Clone Wars was a hybrid look.  Some of the later CW wave figures went more "animated" (thinking Anakin/Obi-Wan for sure) and some ended up more "realistic" like some aliens and Cad Bane.  A while back there was a great developement pic that came out.  It really highlighted how some at LFL wanted pure animated, most of Hasbro wanted realistic, and they settled inbetween.

But it should be Vader personally hunting the Jedi down.

If I read things correctly, Rebels is like 14 years after ROTS... maybe Vader is just bored with it at this point?  Sure, the first few years after ROTS he was probably tracking and killing Jedi, tracking and killing Jedi, over and over every day.  But after 14 years?  I'd like to think he upgraded to larger scale evil projects by then... ;)

Hall of Justice / Re: 2014 DC Multiverse 4" Figure Line
« on: October 12, 2013, 12:14 AM »
Wow, I am totally enthralled by the drama these are kicking up at the big general toy sites (AFI, TNI, Fwoosh, etc).  Mattel's 6" scale guys are PISSED that after years and years of begging for Reeve and Keaton 6" Movie Masters, Mattel finally offer up what they were begging for... but only in this new 4" scale that no one wanted.  Awesome.  :D

Reeves Superman looks great, but I can see why everyone is pissed.  I imagine Hasbro announcing 6" Black Series Tonnika Sisters would set off the same chain reaction over here.  :P

Hasbro has released some press images for Luke, Yoda, Snowtrooper Commander, and Torryn.  Click the thumbnails to check them out!

       

Pictures seem to indicate some alternate hands for Luke (flat or saber holding right hand), no guarantee that the alternate hand makes the final cut though.

Star Wars Rebels / Re: Star Wars Rebels - Cardback Revealed

Press release says these will have "multiple points of articulation"... but I suppose 'multiple' could just mean five, so I'll be waiting for Toy Fair to see if we get a look at them before I decide whether to buy or not.

Here's the full press release:

Quote
In anticipation of Lucasfilm's Star Wars Rebels panel at New York Comic Con (Saturday, October 12, 2013, from 2:45 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. in room 1E of the Javits Convention Center) Hasbro is officially unveiling the packaging treatment for its Star Wars Rebels 3.75-inch action figure line supporting the upcoming animated series.

Star Wars Rebels continues the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people. But there are a select few who are brave enough to stand up against the endless Stormtroopers and TIE fighters of the Empire: the clever and motley crew of the starship Ghost. Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, have thrilling adventures, and become heroes.

Hasbro's Star Wars Rebels line, featuring highly detailed 3.75-inch action figures with multiple points of articulation, will hit store shelves in 2014.

I'll wait for final samples before I start criticizing joints/deco, but man these look great.  Like others have said, a huge chuck of the JediDefender ESB Wishlist wiped out in one shot. :)
