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?

16. Palpatine - office duel
17. Cliegg Lars
18. Kaminoans (either one, but I'd love to see what a Kaminoan given the same love as Yakface would look like)

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2023 TVC Troop Builder - Cantina Band 7-Pack
« on: October 1, 2022, 06:09 PM »I did open 7 of these. Dumb move.
But you've had a full cantina band almost a year ahead of the set (I'm in the same boat).
I'll scatter them around as random aliens, or give some to my son so he can have a cantina setup.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Recent Vintage Collection Purchases
« on: September 30, 2022, 10:42 AM »I found the Morak Boba Fett in a store this morning (HBD to me!), and I just got a shipping notification from Target for Axe Woves.
My Walmart order for the Stormtrooper with E-WEB is still in limbo. Not sure if I'm ever going to see that one. And my orders for the Original 96 Walmart exclusives still say that they're going to ship next week. I'm not going to hold my breath over that.
Happy belated!

Holy ****, that's on a Saturday! You mean I don't have to block out my work calendar to participate while ignoring messages from impatient co-workers, like some kind of zealot?

It's definitely a bit annoying (I wish they'd used Lando's thighs and the gunner lowers), but I'm just happy to have a full band, and I can ignore the pockets.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Target 2023 TVC The Mandalorian Trio - Axe, Koska, Migs
« on: September 7, 2022, 10:56 AM »I'll probably get a few Migs extras to beef out the pilots. The two I ordered from Target had the red stripe, but I found one without the stripe at Target. So basically, with Din, I have three red stripes and one without the stripe...too many cooks in the kitchen.
I just wish they had something to pilot. I don't really want a juggernaut or whatever that thing was, but even some sort of two-man minirig would be cool.
I've seen some photos of people using them as pilots for the Imperial Troop Transport. That might be a good use for them.
Oh man, I can't believe I didn't think of that. Perfect!

The Darth Vader (Dark Times) figure is pants-shittingly awesome. That's my whole review.

I don't have the vintage one, so I'd be interested, especially if it feels more realistic. A blown-out R2 would be a pretty good pack-in.

3. Owen Lars
4. Luke (ANH)
5. Leia (ANH)
6. Han (ANH)

10. Wuher
11. Tessek
12. EV-9D9
13. 8D8
14. General Veers (with removable armor, alternate helmet head, etc)

17. Ben Kenobi (ANH, with as much love as they put into the Kenobi tv show figure)
18. This same figure, but in spirit form ^
19. Any Vader that they can create based on that sexy new Dark Times Vader figure.
20. Yoda (Force Spirit)
