I've read the extra vests were because the holes were the wrong size, they corrected it and threw in the error vests as bonuses.

That's interesting because the vest with my tan figure wouldn't hold the accessories but the extra worked fine. I haven't played with the grey vest yet, that was the other extra that I got.

Definitely interested in some of the Marauder figures...  not a ton, just a little group I think.  Loved how they ultimately turned out.

Thanks for the breakdown Eric...  the knee issue I'd not heard of yet.  Hmmm

Curious if the helmets/hat fit Star Wars, since they are cheaper than casted stuff I've seen (and no painting required)

Got some figure that could use any decent head wear.  I ordered 2 Death Star Trooper from Hong Kong, and then...after years of selling those darn figures without helmets (but with lightsabers?) they dig up lots that include helmets. they were just waiting for me to cave in.

Just a thought on the headgear, I'm betting they PROBABLY are slightly small.  Very slightly.  Most Joe stuff I've found doesn't swap easily with many/most STar Wars figure heads.  Of course SW scaling is all over the map so some of them are fine, but not many I've found.  GI Joe heads are kinda weird too though I guess.

Since this line (Marauder's line) is kind of GI Joe-based, I'd guess their headgear probably has similar issues?  Just a guess though.

Acid Rain's figures don't have many accessories that fit a Star Wars figure readily either and they have a GI Joe vibe to them (sculpt, articulation, design, etc.), so that's just been my experience I guess. 

BBI's gear though, I found swapped over a bit better and their "new" figures are on clearance at Target right now.  Some had the booney hats too iirc.

I was JUST coming in to post about this too Scockery...

What shows overseas OFTEN shows here.  So here's to hoping.  I'd buy a good half dozen of those, seriously.  Rebels need Quonset huts.

Whoops wrong post.

Wanted to mention seeing the weird and somewhat cheap BBI multipacks at Kmart...  good fodder for fair prices.

Saw!  Yeah that's probably as good a price as Big Lots would have on a large multi set like that.  There is like 3 sets there if you think of the figs vehicles barracades and the Quonset all as kind of individual stuff.  The large building is $40 or $50 now...  and that's it, with some figures, not with what amounts to some figure sets, vehicle sets and that small barrier set that was out

Ordered the quonset hut for myself for Christmas.  Pricey, kinda, but it comes with just too much stuff for me to complain about it that much.  Would love a few.  They'd make an interesting Rebel scene of some sort I think.

Ollies stores have those 2 CORPS Beast Strike sets, well mine didn't...but other people are finding them. Apparently they have newer figures with better articulation. (Not the ones in the pictures above)

Ollies also carries the BEAST BOMBER for $29.99.
