For those of you, like me, that decided yesterday's TVC offerings were...not blowing up your skirt, EE has the Walmart Stormtrooper back on preorder stock again, with a February release date. I preordered 8...I'll never NOT need Stormtroopers.

Yup. I don't think I got a refund on my pre-paid Obi-wan figure, but it's just $14, so I'm not going to go ape****. Honestly, Dorkside was always really good to me, so it sucks to see them gone.

Meh...I have no interest in these, or really anything that doesn't look like it belongs in a scene with the rest of the figures.

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.

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.

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

The Vintage Collection / Re: Big Items of the Future!
« on: November 23, 2022, 01:41 PM »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 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.
