Star Wars Dioramas and Displays / Re: Cardboard Galaxy
« on: July 28, 2020, 08:35 PM »
It's been a while since I harassed you guys about my stuff, but I finally completed a project I have been working on on-and-off for a couple years: a Darth Vader's Castle Playset!



It stands 44" tall and in addition to having a fully-detailed facade it contains 5 interior locales including the area where Vader meets with Krennic, a hangar bay for his TIE Fighter, a control room, and a room that could be his bacta chamber if there were such a Hasbro toy (I am going to pose it as a Lightsaber Dueling Room instead.)

I know it's no HasLab project, but it was a fun project to figure out and engineer out of cardboard, and a grueling bit of drawing to get everything I wanted in there. I am so excited to see it in person after so long...it is quite an imposing piece up close. I plan to take lots of close-up pictures of all the little areas in it sometime soon.

Thanks for looking!

Where is Han’s coat?!?

With Leia's poncho, apparently!  :P

Seriously, Han did have plenty of scenes without the duster, but I can't recall any time Leia wore the helmet but no poncho. Poncho with or without the helmet? Yes. No poncho or helmet? Check.

But never helmet with no poncho.

6 feet?  You're pushing into USS Flagg territory with numbers like that.  Who the hell has space for that?!

The same people who have space for a 4 foot Barge, I guess...ie not me. You'll notice I would rather have a Retro version, myself.

I would like to see what efforts on a 4-6 foot long Blockade Runner toy would ultimately look like. I don't know if it would sway me to make a purchase--I'm just not that much of a vehicle collector at the end of the day.

I would also love to see Hasbro take the leap and do a "Retro" version of the never-completed ROTJ/POTF Blockade Runner, though I understand I am in the minority on that count. That is something I can see myself getting.

My "dream" reveal for HasLab would be a 3 3/4"-scaled version of the Micro Collection "Death Star World" with modern detailing...bonus if it included the cancelled Emperor's Throne Room section. There would be nothing that would stop me from backing that.

If I remember correctly, a "1:1" scale Blockade Runner would be 32 feet long, or as long as the Darth Hauler's trailer.  :-*

No matter what the TVC project is, it will not have this kind of showing out of the gate. The recent "saveTVC" petition online garnered 8k signatures total, and that wasn't a purchase, just a signature.

The Barge also brought 8k sales. I think we can see where our ceiling lies. Marvel Legends is showing their active fanbase runs much deeper.

Hopefully HasLab has made their plans based on the data that is out there. It's not going to be this easy for the TVC campaign...because if there is one more piece of data readily available, it's that there is absolutely no consensus as to what big item we want next.

God forbid Hasbro put out some NEW original trilogy figures.

What? They threw you a bone with their hastily-cobbled-together digital art of a forthcoming kitbashed Bespin Escape Leia figure that they would absolutely swear to you was not finalized over the weekend!

So ungrateful!!   ;D

All of that being said, I'm curious to see what Muftak cooks up for Cardboard Galaxy to accentuate the scene!

Me too! ???

That thing gets huge with both staircases attached (and I am in the camp that would display it with only one staircase if that is an option...that was how they built the movie set, though they implied with reverse angles that both staircases were there.)

I would almost want a wrap-around backdrop, and something to cover the peg-legs so the main platform looks like a solid unit. But they might've made it too big for me to do anything cost-effective to help it out!

When this auction popped up I thought of you guys.

It breaks down to only $278 a figure (plus shipping and tax!)

That's funny...I was looking around eBay too and found the Legacy Solo twins loose going for close to a hundred bucks apiece. Made me think about selling mine...

I found a whole case over the weekend for $5 each!  :D

Clearance already? Is Hasbro restricting sale of Retro figures to one month?

Also, we all know they are still making money of them at $5 ea h...

But do you think the hovering R1 droid from "The Prisoner" would be too much to ask of a set like this?

I would really like that, I've got the perfect spot for him...

Odd that the set is $44.99 on Hasbro Pulse while the MSRP is $39.99. ???

That's hilarious! Apparently Hasbro the Retailer disagrees with Hasbro the Manufacturer about how much it should cost...we can't discuss this sort of practice enough!

Just wanted to toss in an update here - the final case assortment for this wave:

1x 2020 VC167 Power Droid
3x 2020 VC1xx Clone Commander Wolffe
2x 2020 VC1xx K-2SO
2x 2020 VC1xx Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper Disguise) {repack}



What a weird assortment to tweak! Granted, I have no use for clones, but this should have been a straight 2 of each.

I was getting antsy on these, and I know I'm not going to be out shopping at WalMart any time soon, so I paid the scalper price for the wave on eBay just to be done with it. I've never had good luck with WalMart's website (when I do manage to get preorders they gt cancelled anyway) and this summer is not looking good for hunting.
