Me too, and a CH-83. I'll have to start checking eBay and see if the prices of these are finally dropping.

Those checklists are super cool. Nice!
Seems odd that it's on Steve's site and not on Hasbro's somewhere.

« on: February 15, 2024, 03:20 PM »$70?! Considering all of their other multipacks have gone to clearance, I'm just going to start with 1 and maybe even cancel it. Nice looking droids though.
Oof. I've got so, so many astromech droids. I love them, but do I need to pay $70 for two new ones?
I think I'll try and wait for clearance on this too.

I must have missed the pipeline announcement on this.
Which of these have we had before and which are all/mostly new?

It woulda been nice to have those that backed The Ghost to be able to buy these for $40 through Pulse or something more reasonable while the non-backer price would be $50. Either way, that price is rough, and I pre-ordered one.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 4” Epic Hero Series Figure Line
« on: February 2, 2024, 09:03 AM »... mashed them up with the5-POA era stuff and ran them through a factory that churns bootlegs.
That is what these look like. Bad bootlegs.
I bet if they put these same figures (maybe colored strangely) on Uzay cards they'd sell a bunch to collectors.

I was really hoping that 4" really meant 3.75", but it does look like these are all truly a little bigger. Very, very stupid. I am all in favor of a 3.75" 5POA offering, but a 4" 5POA line is beyond stupid.

Great tip Jeff. I’ve got that still packaged somewhere and will have to track it down. Grogu can ride on Mando’s lap.

I finally opened mine the other day and set it up on my shelf.
Overall I really like it, and especially at the the $100 price point I paid for it.
Thoughts:
- Its nicely detailed, but maybe not the best toy. Having some shooting missiles or electronics or something would have been cool, but I guess this was geared towards adults.
- I like the hatch to hold Mando's weapons. They should build this in to more vehicles.
- I like the options to have a Grogu or R5 droid port. Although not including the R5 dome is really kind of kick in the shorts. Now I've either got to pull the head off a perfectly good R5 droid or just leave Grogu trapped like a boy in the bubble. I really wished they had included the R5 dome for the extra 10 cents it would have cost them.
- I love the two stand options. The bigger stand really lets you pose it fairly dramatically.
So overall its really good, I just wish they had included an R5 dome.

TV-9D9 / Re: Andor (SPOILERS possible)
« on: January 16, 2024, 12:41 PM »Diego Luna was talking about ANDOR season 2 on the red carpet at the Emmys last night. He said that there are only a few days of shooting left for season 2. It's great to hear that, because this might be the series that I'm the most excited about seeing return to Disney+.
Without a doubt, in my opinion, this is by far the best series they've put out for Star Wars. There have been a few moments in The Mandalorian that were a blast, but overall Andor has been consistently great.

Sweet. Hopefully this will bring back a bit more of the magic this line used to have.

Jocasta's Reading Room / Re: This week in SW Comics.....
« on: January 13, 2024, 05:03 PM »
Well, after collecting every Star Wars comic (not every cover variation) that they've made since 1977, I've finally thrown in the towel. I'm finishing out the current run of comics that started in 2023 and not starting any new series. Maybe I'll get some movie adaptations in the future if they ever make another movie, but I'm basically done. I've got boxes and boxes of comics (over 2000 comics) and it doesn't look like Marvel is stopping anytime soon, and creating all sorts of new stories (The High Republic) that I've really got no interest in. Just too much stuff.

I'd take either a generic imperial hallway or a generic Tatooine "docking bay" with some pit droids, crates, etc.
