Thanks! I grabbed 2x speederbikes and a Viszla using your links.

Do you know if the speederbike will be available from Dorkside too? I like to spread the love around.

I'll have to check which color bandana I have for Kithaba, though honestly I'll probably just do 5 mins of painting to get him screen accurate either way.

I mean we at least need a couple for our Ewoks Battle for Endor displays.

Just posted this in the livestream reactions, but here's where I'm at with the set...

This is the last speederbike we got in 2012, which was really good, and accurately scaled (but it was a TRU exclusive). It was a fully new sculpt, and didn't have the crappy features of the previous mold that had been used forever. No "fall apart" feature, no spring loaded feet, just a great sculpt and a clear flight stand. I was able to find four of them, and I've always been really happy with them. This new one looks much better, but the price still sucks. I'll probably get two of them and see how I feel after that.

I'm definitely not excited about any new costs from packing a carded figure in a box, since what are those carded collectors going to do? Open a package to get to another package? What kind of Russian Doll collecting bull**** is that? They should have packed a Scout Trooper in this package (non-carded) and then released the Scout Trooper in the main line, since collectors will want multiples. Oh well, I guess we can get multiples in an eventual troop builder.

I think the officer most in need of an update with the new officer body is Motti. That guy is huge, dated, and doesn't give a **** what anyone thinks of his c-clamp hand. Also hoping we get a Yularen sooner rather than later, especially since he's pretty prominent in Andor.

Viszla is expensive, so I'm really happy he's not an army builder like the Darktrooper. I'll probably buy him on Amazon for the low price guarantee, just in case it does go down slightly, like it did with the Dark Troopers.

I’m really hoping it’s a blurrg too. We haven’t had a beast in the TVC line since the 2010 Tauntaun. (Not counting Jabba with the Khetanna).

Jabba's not a beast!

They also have the Stormtrooper, Gunner and Bespin Guards!

I've seen plenty of rumblings in TVC circles about a Cantina playset.  And I think it could be a possibility at some point.  Many people think it could be the next Haslab.  FWIW, I think Mister Skeezler's cantina would be a great reference for Hasbro to design their own Cantina.

Thanks man!  ;D

The Vintage Collection / Re: RUMOR - 2023 TVC Mando N-1 Starfighter
« on: October 21, 2022, 11:25 AM »
I’ll end up with one but I never really liked the N1. I don’t love that Mando has one.  And naturally, I hate the price tag.  Hopefully it’s got some pack-ins, is scaled up a little, and maybe has really great details for that kind of money.

Agreed. I think it's ok that he's speeding around in one a little bit, but I want him to get back to a Razor Crest, or some other larger ship that's like the show's Millennium Falcon.

Those stormtroopers really need to be the next troop builder set.

176
Come on, man...how else is Hasbro going to get that ******* 50% growth?  ;D

I could even see a repaint of the speederbike from the season finale of the Mandalorian as well.

Any interest in a Bespin guard set, with some film accurate heads?

I'm so sick of this skinny clone body, especially now that they've pipelined the Phase 2 clone as a full resculpt. Their bodies are the same, right?
