The Vintage Collection / Re: 2018 Vintage Collection Wave 2
« on: September 7, 2018, 03:39 PM »
Found a single case at my local Wally this morning. Picked up Han and the Tank Driver and left the rest. This store has had a single First Order Stormtrooper sitting on a Vintage peg for months, so maybe that’s why they got this wave now.

Just scored one of these off of Craigslist for $100. Has all the pieces except the floor panel that goes next to the training remote and one of the landing skids. I couldn’t believe my luck today.  :)

Is the Cassian Andor repack in this wave? I forgot. If so, I’ll buy this whole wave.  :)

Great wave. Looking forward to Lando, and while I don’t need any more Stormtroopers, I’ll try to get a couple.

Neat idea. Not sure that I’m sold on this, but the Kessel one is neat. Hope to see more, particularly OT stuff.

Solo: A Star Wars Story / Re: Solo 3.75" Basic Figures

Some great looking figures there. Glad they’re releasing them, but wonder if they’ll end up EE exclusives.

112
Neat! Never got Bossk, so this is great.

I don't have the new Leader Prime from Power of the Primes yet, but there is a new theme dropping soon called War for Cybertron that's going to feature a Voyager-class Prime that looks pretty nice.

http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/07/13/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-figures-revealed-367323

It's a bit cheaper than the Leader Prime, so there's that.

And for something that's really up my alley, G1 reissues are supposedly returning to the US exclusively at Wal-Mart. I'd throw up the links, but the Wally website has currently taken them down. The bots available will be Hot Rod, Starscream, Devastator (!), and four minibots: Outback, Swerve, Tailgate, and Bumblebee. Robot Kingdom has them in stock now, and Big Bad Toy Store has Hot Rod in stock: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/75629
I would expect them to be much cheaper when (if) they actually hit stores. My guess is they'll be up for sale on Wally's website after Hasbro announces them at SDCC this weekend, but we'll see.

Great set! I was hoping for a Qi'Ra in this costume, Weazel is a great choice, and I'll always take another trooper. Han is scene-specific, but if I end up buying a playset, I'm going to want this costume too.

I may have missed it, but is Beckett coming anytime soon?

The Last Jedi / Re: Target TLJ 3.75" Return of the Jedi 3-Pack
« on: June 22, 2018, 02:21 PM »
Finally picked this set up today. Target just put them on clearance, so I grabbed it for $17.48.

116
Game Stop is running a 50% off clearance price sale, so I stopped at the local stores. Picked up Snoke w/ throne, General Leia, and Jedi Training Rey for $10 each. Last weekend I found a 40th Ann. Leia for $7 at an out-of-town store. It might be worth a trip to your local store.  :)

117
Managed to get what I wanted. Found the Lando set and one each of the Range and Mimban Troopers at an out of town Wally that is really on the ball when it comes to toys. I was able to order the Wampa from Amazon, so that should be here tomorrow.

Haven’t seen any Vintage or the Black Series Porgs yet, but I’m not in a hurry on those.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Load up the 'barge!
« on: April 7, 2018, 03:33 PM »
I'm hoping for a reissue of Jabba's Skiff Guard from 2013. Doallyn I think he is. Never found that one, and the ebay prices...  :P

I have the rest of Jabba's denizens, but I'd buy a Tessek resculpt in a heartbeat. I'd also buy new versions of the Rebo Band, but only the original three. Hey, maybe that's something they could do with HasLab...

119
Congrats to all who backed it! I ultimately decided not to, but I'll wait and see what happens when these start showing up. Somebody's significant other will probably see the box and freak out and make them sell, so I'll get one then. Just couldn't swing buying it now, unfortunately.

Joe Defender / Re: The Future of G.I. Joe?

Looks like Hasbro is thinking that the feature film is the way to go forward. No word yet if this is a continuation of the previous two movies, but I kind of doubt it.

As for the toys, the Club isn't having the license renewed, so they're done after this year. Now that the Barge is backed, I kind of hope this HasLab thing takes off and they start offering Joe stuff again, through that site. I always figured it would have to be a DTC model to sell it again, and with TRU gone...
