Unleashed figures

[Scott]

I just can't understand why they didn't at least anchor it in 2-3 points.  Maybe on the foot and another spot on the cloak

I tried making his left foot rest against the step somehow but it really didn't work too hot

I just wanted to say thank you for convincing me I don't need that figure and therefore I have all the Unleashed I need/want.  I have the original Vader, loose, so it's fine.  A little small in terms of scale, but the pose is fairly classic and worth keeping, notably since it only cost me $5 CAD.  I'd spend more than that in gas finding the new one.

Is there any place you can super glue Vader to the stairs?

Not really, Jay.  If the cloak had been elongated on the sides a little bit more, and had the staircase tops gone back a bit more, they could have put two more metal pegs on the inside of the cape and had them insert into the stairs (I don't know if that made any sense at all or not; apologies if it didn't) so it would at least have someanchor to it.  As it is though, the cloak isn't long enough for another attachment and the feet don't actually touch the stairs for that to work.

The thing that makes the leaning problem worse is the hole for the metal bar isn't a vertical hole, but an angular one (as in \ as opposed to l ).  This actually results in Vader purposely being at a permanent 40 degree angle (until he eventually falls flat on his face, at least).  Given how much effort and care seemed to go into the other UL figures and how they attached securely to their bases (Aurra Sing's cluster**** notwithstanding), I'm actually really disappointed with the Vader.  Even though it's an amazing piece to look at, it's something that I can't display with everything else for the time being because I'm afraid it will get damaged due to the design.

I was fortunate enough to find the new wave at Target this afternoon, and picked up the Vader and the Yoda/Sidious.  I originally had only planned on picking up the new Vader, and thought I'd judge the Yoda/Palpy one in person and decide.  After looking at it, I decided to pick it up.  It looks like a pretty nice piece.  I probably wouldn't have paid for shipping on it, but since I found it in person, I picked it up.  Just a Han Stormtrooper from the last wave (preordered) and if I can somehow find a Stormtrooper for a decent price, and I guess that will be it.  I'm sad to see this line end, and I really hope it will be returning eventually.

Wow, some of us who still need the Stormtrooper really missed out when this auction got BIN'ed within 15 minutes. 

Carded Stormtrooper AND Snowspeeder Luke for $25. 

Oy.

[Brian]

Blimey!  Heck of a deal for someone though.  I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever be able to get a hold of a Stormtrooper, because I just don't think I could make myself pay big bucks for one (especially $40-$50 plus).  Maybe I could just try to pick up an extra Han Stormtrooper and leave the helmet on, of course why the Stormtrooper is hanging out in the trash compactor with those pesky rebels I couldn't explain .  I really wish Hasbro would have repacked/re-released the Stormtrooper in one of these last waves.

I broke down and bought my Stormie for 30 plus shipping. This was back when the wave was first out.

Damn, that would have made a nice custom Sandtrooper with a little work 

[JesseVader08]

Very interesting...

http://www.mousedroid.com/ is claiming that Hasbro has cancelled the 3rd wave of the ROTS Unleashed worldwide, so don't expect to see the Shocktrooper, 2nd Chewbacca or Han in Stormtrooper Disguise.

Bastards! 

[SpudTrooper]

WOW thats horrible news for ppl who pre-ordered it. damn, i was actually looking forward in getting that wave..oh well 

[JedioftheNorth]

Hopefully this is just a rumor and those figs will see the light of day please oh  please let it happen.

[JesseVader08]

As disappointed as I am with the end of this line, I'm not too worked up about losing these last figures.  Since they were basically rehashes anyway, I'm not sure that I would have bothered buying them.

[DSJ™]

Bah! Bastards!
