The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6 Inch Figures?
« on: January 29, 2013, 02:30 PM »
And how are R2 and Yoda 6" figures... They'll be 4"ers. 
I guess Chewie will be 7 or 8.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series - 2013 Wave 2
« on: January 29, 2013, 02:29 PM »I'll guess they keep up the 3 OT, 1 PT mix
Maybe they'll continue with 2 heroes, 2 villains as well
- Vader (ANH)
- Princess Leia
- Han Solo (ANH)
- Boba Fett or Stormtrooper (heck, they've got the Sandtrooper, it's an easy fix)

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6 Inch Figures?
« on: January 29, 2013, 02:25 PM »Back to the 6" - Luke looks great... but $20 each? I think I'd rather have the $160 instead of the 8 figures.
I agree. I wish the price point were a bit lower. We're expected to pay about twice as much for 2" (that's what she said)? Wow!
Also, I like how they say the new line will focus on the Original Trilogy... but then Darth Maul is in the first wave.
R2 could possible have his PT booster rocket glory.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series - 2013 Wave 1
« on: January 29, 2013, 02:20 PM »
Yeah, I think it's a bizarre 1st wave offering. 3x ANH figures (R2 could be a PT version, I suppose with booster rockets) and 1x Maul. I would have gone with Tatooine Luke before X-Wing Luke and Vader before Maul, Stormtrooper before Sandtrooper... but we'll see. I'm anxious to see how these turn out.

Maybe they can retcon most of season 5?

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Spider-Man Movie Series

Great! 2 villains in a sequel again. 
I just wish they would stick to one baddie per film, unless it's a team-up movie.

The Vintage Collection / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?
« on: January 28, 2013, 03:55 PM »Is Ellors Madak worth $5 or $6 to you?
I think I bought him for $4 second-hand market.
As to present day... if it's the same PotJ Ellors Madak repack, then I can see $5-6, but I won't buy it since I already have it. Now, if it's Vintage styled with more PoA (he doesn't need to be SA, but give him some knee articulation) then I'd pay $8-9 for him.

Too bad they didn't change the Starfleet 'debris' emblem to something Star Wars.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6 Inch Figures?
« on: January 28, 2013, 02:08 PM »
If it goes this route (saying bye-bye to the 4" scale), I might pick up the Bounty Hunters for sure and the ANH Heroes and villains. But I'm not going to go all-in to a scale.

The Vintage Collection / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?
« on: January 28, 2013, 02:05 PM »2) You must resume producing key supporting characters, IE: anyone with a speaking role in more than 4 episodes
Well, there are some cool figures that didn't last 1 episode, so I wouldn't limit it.
As for 5 PoA for less money, I don't know how I'd feel about it. I think I would be very selective on the ones that are that way. ..buy 'em if I like 'em. It depends on the quality too. If the sculpt and pain apps are bad, then I'm probably all out. If they do a collectors and kids line, then I'd focus on the collectors line. Give us good, obscure figures (with sculpt, great paint apps and 10+ PoA) but limit the # per year, I can do that while they still catering to the kids with the other line.
I'm still on the fence about New Trilogy figures, about whether I'll get into them or just focus mostly on OT figures since they mean more to me. It'll probably depend on how I feel about the movie. If the 6" figures come to fruition, it depends on what they look like. I don't think I'll go all in, but I might get my main heroes, villains and Bounty Hunters.

1:6 Scale Figures and Collectibles / Re: 2013 Hasbro 12" Figures Released
« on: January 25, 2013, 02:24 PM »I don't want to hear the "Collectors aren't supporting the line" shtick when none of these sell.
But. But. Collectors are supposed to buy everything with the Star Wars logo on it. If not, you haven't been properly brainwashed... perhaps we'll have to release a new movie to rectify that.
Love,
George and Mickey

The Black Series 3.75" / Re: Toy Fair 2013
« on: January 22, 2013, 11:56 AM »
To me, I like the articulation. Granted not every figure needs 10+ POA... I would be happy with a Sim Aloo with 5ish POA so that he is consistent with the other 2 dignitaries released (we never see them do anything but stand besides descending the ramp of the Emperor's shuttle. Padmes, senators, handmaidens and backrground characters don't need to be super articulated.

The Black Series 3.75" / Toy Fair 2013
« on: January 21, 2013, 04:37 PM »
Well, Toy Fair is a few weeks away (Sat. Feb 9). I'm not sure what to expect. Hopefully, we'll get some answers as to what's going on with the SW line. Anyways, I thought I'd open a thread here.
I'll be helping JD out with TF again, so if you have questions that you'd like us to ask a Hasbro rep, feel free to put it here.

Other Collectibles / Re: Star Wars Fighter Pods
« on: January 21, 2013, 10:21 AM »FYI, the sets I saw seemed to have the same handful of characters..lots of doubles between the packs they had.
That's the other big reason I've never jumped into collecting these, you're guaranteed so many duplicates.
Plus the fact that there are 'duplicates' in series 2 and 3 in the form of holograms. I guess I don't see how a hologram would do much damage in battle.
