The Vintage Collection / Re: 2023 TVC Endor Bunker Playset
« on: December 6, 2022, 04:03 PM »
I'm pretty excited for this, but I don't have the POTF2 version. I wish the vegetation was removable though, because I'd love to be able to set up some non-forest bunker displays for photography.

Same here. It should actually arrive on my birthday, so that's pretty cool.

That sucks...they've always been a really good option, and I felt better about ordering from them over Amazon. I actually received a preorder item from them last week, but the only thing I have on preorder over there now is 3 Darktroopers and an extra Obi Wan (that's already paid). I guess the worst case scenario is I'm out the $12 for Obi Wan. Luckily I have 5 of the Darktrooper preordered from Amazon. I might try to get more, but the price seems to have gone back up a little bit.

155
Deathtrooper 4-packs are $29 at Shop Disney right now.. free shipping still applies with orders over $75.

I would have gotten a set at that price, but it looks like it's back to normal now.

I'd much rather go all-in on a re-release of the TIE Interceptor. I only have one of those from the new tooling, and I'd like a couple more.

The first time we saw the TIE Defender was in that Rebel Assault game in the '90s, right? I kind of felt like "toss another wing on there" was in full effect with that design, but Rebels definitely did make it seem cooler. No one can convince me the TIE Crawler isn't a crappy design though.

Sure, but that's an easy update to a really good existing mold.  That's not a "big items of the future" / Haslab style thing.  They could do that so easily if they wanted to bother.

Yeah, I got off topic because I was looking at the interceptor and got all gushy about it.

I’m shocked that people are willing to buy this figure at this price.

Same.

I just wonder how big the Ghost would have to be. Could they do it justice? I know it's roughly Millennium Falcon sized, but there are a bunch of areas to create, including sleeping quarters, cargo hold, cockpit area. I guess it could work, but it would need to be much larger than the Razor Crest I'd think. Plus you'd need the Phantom, and that thing wasn't even small, since they could fit several people in there. That alone would probably need to be around the size of the Imperial Troop Transport.

I'm all for the Ghost, but I just worry about how many corners they'd have to cut to actually make it, and would that turn people off so it doesn't end up backing? I don't think TVC can risk a Haslab failure.

Imperial Shuttle would be great, and you could make an argument for buying more than one.

There's a seller online that created some modular Ewok village parts, where you could mix and match and create an Ewok village that fits your own display area. I'd love to see Hasbro create some scene builder things like that. Smaller, but with the option to buy many of them to create customized displays. Kind of like the Spacewalls, which were awesome, but pretty much went nowhere once they partnered with Hasbro.

I like the idea of a Haslab Millennium Falcon, but I don't think Solo would get people to jump. But maybe a larger, fully new Millennium Falcon, at the same quality level as the Razor Crest and Khetanna could be an option. I love the Legacy Collection Falcon, but I would back a larger and more detailed Falcon in a heartbeat.

I'm also a big fan of a slightly smaller Haslab that could support army building. An all-new Y-Wing, (more) properly scaled would be a dream come true, and I would buy at least four. It's large, but the back part would be pretty cheap since it's all open. I'd jump at a B-Wing as well.

The price sucks, full stop.

I'm not a fan of the deco either...I have no use for novelty repaints, and only collect figures that could inhabit the same scene together (which is why I never collect animated-style figures). But at least this is something that will appeal to collectors in a meaningful and nostalgic way, and not like a "Santa Boba" or a "Halloween Chewbacca." That **** makes me nauseous. So, not for me, but I guess I'm happy for whoever wants something like this.

Excellent shot during the interrogation that completely echoes Leia's torture scene cutaway from ANH.

Is this a Pulse exclusive, or general release?

164
Yeah I agree there's so much to do that at this point I'd just kind of take anyone. Even TFA and TLJ Rey could use a photoreal head.

165
I like certain aspects of the ST, and then others just make no sense. I feel like Rise of Skywalker was a slapdash effort, which only gave us the feels through fan service. I was fine with the Emperor returning, but I hated that they had no real plan, so he was just kind of back, with no prior teasing. Unlike the OT, where I need Han with and without gloves, shirt tucked in, untucked, etc., I'm just kind of looking for TVC versions of the main characters in their general main outfits from the movies to start. Anyways, here's what I'd like to see from the ST for figures...

1 Rey - Last Jedi throne room duel
2 Kylo - Last Jedi throne room duel
3 First Order Snowtrooper
4 First Order Flametrooper
5 First Order Stormtrooper - redone with better articulation
6 Finn - The Last Jedi outfit
7 Finn - Rise of Skywalker main outfit
8 Poe - The Last Jedi outfit
9 Poe - Rise of Skywalker outfit
10 Kylo Ren - Supreme Leader
11 Luke Skywalker - The Last Jedi final battle (but make the figure not suck this time)
12 Chewbacca
13 Lando Calrissian (final battle)
14 Han Solo - The Force Awakens main outfit
15 Leia Organa - The Force Awakens
16 Leia Organa - The Last Jedi
17 General Hux
18 Knights of Ren multipack
