The Vintage Collection / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?
« on: July 30, 2021, 08:45 PM »
I still prefer super articulated but can go with fewer points if it translates to more consumer purchases that'll nudge retailers to expand shelf space and give Hasbro the confidence to produce characters only we geeks know and love.

Hopefully Hasbro is done with the notion that the 1:18  scale can be tweaked for a sustained kiddie and collector line. It can't. Those little monsters gravitate to the next shiny object that drops on youtube. Bey-blades one minute, crocs the next.

ooh la la. Can't wait to see it populated.

That 2nd Fordo helmet is not registering with me. Another hole in my collection that I didn't know about? ...And looks like it'll still be there since the accessories Jeff mentioned are MIA in the re-issue?  >:(

Hope they make more batches. Would suck if it was a one-and-done.

Knowing these can't be ordered again until 2022 will save me from 6 months of checking daily. I guess that's a good thing?  :-\

Have yet to watch the Leia review. The AT-ST is a nice one. Didn't realize who the likeness was of. Now I have to search if I have the other version with the likeness of the other guy.

As for shipping, I an liking OnTrac more and more. Got an email from Walmart that a figure had shipped. Clicked and saw Paploo went out yesterday from Southern California... and was already dropped off at my front door this afternoon. Sure it's only 400 miles, but 1 day+ from a Sunday is still impressive.

Meanwhile, after scanning in IL, Endor Leia has traveled the Midwest more than I have and will arrive a day later than the initial estimate.

Mine is expected eod 6/29, decent time from Georgia to Nor Cal. My last 2-3 WM figure orders arrived from Southern California (on-Trac) in under 40 hours.

233
Same. Checked here maybe 30min before it was announced then did stupid work stuff and missed out.

I wish Hasbro sent a communique days earlier to their rolodex of fan sites about the Wednesday shared reveal. (Whether those non-participating outlets would relay the news is a different matter.) But I appreciate Hasbro engaging the community more and more. That connection was missing for a long time.

The soft-goods on Rex looks magnificent.

I also secretly worry that the fact that Hasbro is rushing to finish the original 96 is an indication that the line is in trouble.  Maybe it just means moving away from TVC soon…

I can see that. Complete the 96 then shift to packaging with less plastic as part of their goal to reduce overall use.

I only now took notice of the name and paint deco. The heavy loader droid isn't the same one in the movies. Nice set. Love the grimy look of the droids.

A friend was nice enough to haul back a handful of park exclusives from his trip to Disney. I luckily did not ask him to bring back two of this; it's much larger than I thought and he would have blocked my number.

Found the case on EE...comes with 2 each of Kuill and Bo-Katan, which I don't really need, just one Hoth Rebel (which I want extras of) and a mystery figure. So for the same price I am getting 7 figures in the quantities I want from Amazon.

There are 8 in the case. At the end of the previous line is Las Vegas which, according to Jayson from Yakface, is Lobot. Reno is Bib.

TV-9D9 / Re: Bad Batch (Disney+)

(edited to remove hints of spoilers)

People falling in love with Moochi and losing their mind at the possibility it is the one.

It'd be a pointless sidebar to the episode if Moochi isn't. His/her inclusion is an easter egg, not red herring.

Real brief. My friend trying to pick one up for me said the cashier didn't realize they already received a batch.

It's growing on me. And Nick, I can see how kids would be attracted to the colors.

Might have to try getting 2 -- one for my collection and the second to replace the first should my toddler niece take a liking to it and decides she wants it.
