Thanks Jesse. I will definitely give that a shot on all the versions.

Movie Heroes / Saga Legends '12-? / Re: TRU 2012 Speederbiker with Scout Trooper
« on: September 7, 2012, 10:07 AM »
Picked a pair up myself. A near perfect set.
As a purely nit-picking excersize, the Scout's hip joints are perfect, but the neck joint is not. The helmet rides a tad high. The bike's handle bars are a bit thick when viewed from the front, but it's an easy part to upgrade down the road. The paint app is a bit basic. However, the scale and other detailing is near perfect. I like the little landing gear attachment for non-stand use and while the canon accessory is, for lack of a better word - weak, I appreciate the effort and actually doesn't look too obnoxious attached under neath the bike.
Overall, I'd give this 9.5 out of 10. Nice piece of work and thank you Hasbro.

With Vintage on hold, I will buy half as much since I'll be going back to a non-carded collection.

Perfect excuse to have us shell out 25 more bucks for one figure.

Those new mini-vehicles are neat, but they remind me of the original POTF mini-mini-rigs at the end of the line. Given the tough year, not a good comparison.

Maybe it's just the paint job which I think is ultra sharp. What do our resident Stormtrooper experts think?

Didn't Hasbro say they weren't even going to be at celebration, of was that somewhere else like NYCC?
EDIT: LOL, I just got a text from my buddy there. I guess Hasbro is there, he just played with the new Speeder bike. Just asked if there's anything new.

I won't be there, but pictures of my Imperial army will be. They're going to be part of a collectors showcase.

Oh. Then I am horribly uninformed.
Yeah, yeah, what else is new?

Poped all these open last night. Decent wave. Although the sandtrooper is mostly just a re-paint, with the new helmet it came out well. Almost makes up for the ball jointed hips which I still don't like. The Leia turned out really well. I wasn't so hot on it, but this is one of those cases where the final product is much better than the mock-ups.
