I ordered two sets. Was tempted to get more, but two is enough.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Big Items of the Future!

A new Gunship, a little larger and with the turrets could be a cool item for next year. Or just the old mold, with a great paint scheme with the turrets would be fine for my interests.
For next year's big items, I think this would suit the bill well enough:
AT-TE - repack, with sturdy legs, new/realistic weathering, AT-TE Gunner
Gunship - repack, with two turrets, Clone Pilot
Slave One - repaint w/ ESB paint scheme, with carbonite block, Boba Fett and Han Solo
Then I suppose we could see the Turbo Tank repackaged for ROTS... but I still want to see a Sail Barge and Death Star playset.

I thought the figures were $8-$10 each, and the 2pks about $15... if that's the case, I'm in for some of these. Mostly, as a customizer. I see some really cool potential here.

Thanks for the feedback. 
And I agree, those POP figures were really, really cool.

I think they need to retire that Luke body. It might be proper height, but compared to the more recent X-Wing pilot bodies, it doesn't hold up in my opinion.

Wow, already on clearance for that low? I saw some about 10 days ago for $14.99 or something on clearance on a Target a few hrs outside of St. Louis.

Yeah, I agere... I think HK-47 would be fine just as a basic carded figure. I think the same goes for any other previous B.A.D.s that were hard to get.

Yeah, the CW C-3PO was very well done, and the C-3PX was a good figure too... so that sort of paint application is fine by me.
I just want to see something like that above (note, that's U-3PO, just tweaked a bit in photo editing). I don't care how, if it's a carded figure, or you gotta hunt for the parts. It's the sculpt that I really dig. I can't believe Hasbro hasn't used such a great protocol droid mold for one of the most popular characters in all of Star Wars.

C-3PO is desperately needed using the b.a.d. mold.

« on: July 12, 2012, 03:37 PM »You aren't the only one who likes the Battle Droid! The sculpt looks great, and the exploding feature appears to be well done and somewhat sturdy. Knee and elbow articulation would be nice but it isn't a deal breaker. I'll take whatever variety I can get for my droid army.
Good to hear!
I'd like to get around a dozen of these, for a specific scene. Maybe standing in front of the MTT or something preparing to get blown to pieces by some clones or something.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Vintage Ewok/AT-ST Driver 2-Packs
« on: July 12, 2012, 01:27 PM »Curious why they didn't include one Driver and one Ewok with each set. I guess you can army build whichever you want this way, but The Ewok set will feel more expensive with the smaller figures. I'm surprised they didn't do one of each to entice more even purchasing of the two and get people to potentially buy more.
Kinda feel that way too - maybe they felt that people wouldn't distinguish the AT-ST drivers apart by doing that, but who knows.

I kinda like the Battle Droid,but I know a lot of people may be sick of them. To me it looks like the best tan Battle Droid since the ROTS one in 2005 - thought I know it's not very articulated.

My thought is that the 3.75 line, if similar in quality, will be much more popular than the bigger figures.

« on: July 11, 2012, 12:03 PM »Is there a difference between this Jar Jar and the one that came out in that Movie Heroes line?
Yes, the TVC one is super articulated, with a soft goods tunic, etc. The MH is decent, but this other one appears to be quite a bit better.
