The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS)
« on: March 28, 2018, 08:57 AM »
I watched the deleted scenes.  All good choices to excise except the Luke mourning Han.  I liked the alternate opening.  I don't love the one that's in the film with the high-speed plummet though the fleet. 

I may have left some of those character moments near the beginning of the film with Finn in too. These scenes cement that at the outset Finn's motivations are Rey, and he does not see himself as a member of the resistance.  By the end of the film, he becomes the Resistance hero that Rose thought he was.

I checked out the Chino Hills TRU no signs up for store closing yet. However the Clare's section was almost completely empty. I guess Clare's took their merchandise back. I wonder if TRUs are going to start finding weird unsold Star Wars figures from TVC or ROTS laying around. I assume places like Koles and TJ Max will start seeing more toy inventory soon.

I think I read somewhere that Claire's is also going knockers-up.

1. Firefly
2. Wild Weasel
3. Eels
4. Snow Serpents
5. Stormshadow

This is controversial so control yourselves.  (Ryan that is directed at you.)
I can accept this list.

Perhaps the surge is due to a push of advertising on social media?  I’ve seen a lot on this the past few days.

They also offed Captain Pellaeon in a throw away line.

I liked the ending. I was like WTF at Jacen Syndulla.

Solo: A Star Wars Story / Re: Solo 3.75" Kessel Run Millennium Falcon
« on: March 1, 2018, 07:24 PM »
Depending on how it shakes out, maybe on big money package to satisfy it all?  If the Solo Falcon toy is any kind of indicator, maybe we’ll be seeing it lose plating to become more like the ship all us geezers worship.

Maybe they’ll have the base unit be a retool of the BMF, and include panels to make it look the the Solo erosion, as well as an alternate deflector dish as seen in The Force Awakens.

I would be surprised if a Falcon isn't already on the Haslab board.

I think the disconnect is that Hasbro (and other toy makers) want features to call out on the packaging and "Crew Can Sit!" is not as exciting as "Panels Pop Off!" or "Lights and Sounds!"

To collectors (really, displayers) authenticity is more important.  To the everyday buyer, the more exciting sounding stuff may make a huge price tag easier to swallow.

"Jedi Night" was a bit of a gut punch.  I was not prepared for that.

Same here. This was a very good episode.

Perhaps a retooled Falcon will be a Haslab item down the line. Multiple dishes, etc. 

That $500 numbers seems a little high now seeing how much barge that gets you...

Mine would be a AT-TE for $4 from Goodwill.

That is what I was thinking as well.  This wouldn't be a brand new tooling like the AT-ACT was.

Hasbro said at a con or TF in the very recent past the Falcon would be somewhere around $500 in today's market. I was stunned the AT-ACT even made it to retail at $300, knowing that was a non-starter.

At a price like that?  I can't see Hasbro or the retailers taking the risk.
I have to agree at that price.

There would be a market for Hasbro to re-release the BMF in a limited run though.  Secondary prices on this are pretty steady..  Sadly, I'm in the market for one as I never got it when it was out.

Do tell on that pricing!  Also, if you’d be willing to hook a brother up on a $5 Snowtrooper...

Vintage Kenner / Re: Found ROTJ Gamorrean Guard at KMart
« on: February 9, 2018, 10:09 PM »
I’ll say legit.

About 10 years ago, a local TRU did a major remodel and in a spot where they were moving the shelving into a new configuration there was a pile of debris.  Dirt, papers etc. and there were a few toys that looked like they had been found between or underneath the shelving and one of them was a vintage ESB Dengar. I asked to buy it but was shot down. It was in similar shape as this one.

Adam and Jamie say “ Plausible!”
