Legacy Collection Comic Packs

[Darth_Anton]

The arms aren't really new, the shoulders have just been modified, sanded down. The upper torso is totally new though, good catch.

Any reports of the new wave hitting TRU yet? 

[Jeff]

If by "new wave" you mean the Wedge/Borsk, Luke/Deena, Ki-Adi/Hett packs then yes, they have been found at Walmart, Target and TRU at this point.  In fact, I think TRU was first to get them in most areas...

In stores, it seems everyone have found the Wedge and Ki packs, but not the Luke/Deena one so far.

I haven't heard too much about anyone finding any of these in store.  What retailer are they showing up at?

TRU.

[Darth_Anton]

They hit TRU were around here a month before they hit at Target.

[Nicklab]

I got the Wedge & Borsk Fey'lya 2-pack the week of Toy Fair at TRU.  That wave has been out there, but not in serious quantities.

[Rob]

Yeah Jeff, those are the ones I'm talking about.  I still haven't seen them in Dallas, and I'm holding out for TRU since I've got this $20 giftcard left over from buying RE5.

But if they've been around for that long I guess I'll pick them up wherever I see them, if I see them.

Aldi's, a discount grocery chain that is near Pittsburgh (no idea if it goes much further any other direction) has comic packs advertised this week for $9.99.  Weirdest place I've seen comic packs advertised.  They supposedly go on sale tomorrow, so I'm gonna pop in maybe Friday on my way through...  I'm curious just to see what they may get.

All the love for the Anamin character in the comic pack left me wonder what the deal was, until I read the comic. Those characters were awesome.

[Nicklab]

The comic that came with Tank and the Amanin warrior was definitely one of Dark Horse's better efforts in the EMPIRE title.  I would've like to have seen a little more articulation in the Amanin, but it's a pretty good figure considering the price point.  But the sticking point for me with this set is the color of Tank's uniform.  The concept behind a UNIFORM is that it helps a military unit achieve a UNIFORM appearance.  His uni doesn't match any of the other Imperial officers in terms of the coloring.

Here I was thinking the same thing. If they colored Tank the uniform Imperial gray, I would've bought at least 6 of these sets...
His coloring is interpretive of the comic, which everyone complained about on the Marvel sets, but seemed to give this one a pass

Not everyone complained about the coloring. Including me.

[Darth_Anton]

The coloring kind of bothers me, but I can live with it. The rank bothers me more. I acquired a second one via trade and painted his uniform black to add variety to my troops. If I could match the grey well enough, I might modify a third, rank and all.

I noticed something interesting about the Vakil Pilot figure - he's got a new lower torso which makes the SA X-wing pilot figure taller, like it should be. Looks like this figure can be used to make non-Luke sized Pilots. Yea!

I think that the entire figure is new. The arms are longer that the VOTC Luke and the shoulders have a much more rounded ball-joint. The torso seems has the larger ball joint head and the hose attaches under the arm, which is different from any of the pilot figures we have so far. It looks different than Luke's and the Evolutions' sculpt.

Turns out, you're more right than I was. Scum did a more detailed review and determined that you have better eyes than I do. Seems the lower legs are new as well.

[Brian]

I see RS has a new rumor list up for some upcoming Comic Packs, including one with Camie and Fixer.

[Darth_Anton]

Yeah, but they're from Empire.
