Next up in my little Hasbro Outlet Deals parts swap experiments... I grabbed one of these sets and an extra Tusken with Massiff at Target and tried to re-arrange the parts and weapons without any serious disassembly to see if I could make 5 new guys.  I don't know how successful it was (2 or 3 of them work for me) but here's the initial results.  I'll probably keep tinkering with them, maye see if I can swap hands, maybe do something different with the one guy who came out basically the same... who knows.

I’m sure it was.  It’s still obnoxious. 

Not sure how his scale will be compared to the others but after seeing how small Krrsantan was in his deluxe box, and given nearly everything Hasbro does lately, it still feels like a cash grab.

It won’t be too much longer before we see an Ahsoka Bar Zeb on more deluxe packaging for another $26.  The double dipping is supposed to bring costs doen through volume, but instead it’s another cash grab opportunity.

So that’s pretty lame that he fits on a regular card with the Ghost but then has to be a $25-ish deluxe set at retail.

Isn’t he on a regular card in the Haslab or did I read that wrong on Instagram comments?

Thanks Nick!  I'm just looking for something so they wont' topple, don't need the expensive ones for posing them.

51
Damn at $18 it’s basic figure pricing with a really fancy accessory. 

**** it I bought two more.  I already have two extras that I haven’t bothered to open but at that price I’m almost good just getting more Biker Scouts.

I also could give bikes to Luke, Leia, and Paploo but I expect Hasbro will do that for us at some point before too long.

52
Amazon has this one for a much more reasonable $37 if anyone was on the fence and still wants it.

53
Not sure but I did just nab one at the store, thanks for the code Jeff


They have a $5 off $30 worth of toys right now, so it was $55.

54
Speeder Bikes are down to $20.71 on Amazon right now… might be the lowest price yet.

55
Yeah that’s why I pulled the trigger on this little experiment.  I already had multiple sets and don’t want too many sets of twins, but with the head swaps… why not.

56
Agreed guys. 

And, while I’m all about Star Wars being more inclusive in the modern age, what made the empire in the OT so insidious was that it was a Nazi germany analogy… part of what made the emperor that much more evil was his racism.  There was a definite clean shaven white men only thing to that.  So I put the imperial officers who fit the old bill into the OT parts of the shelving and guys with facial hair get to go up with the expanded universe ones.

Woke up to an email that Pulse is shipping these soon.

Ditto.  Looking forward to this one. 

I know we mock the double-dipping, but sadly I would buy this again if they do one with a "pilot" headsculpt and the Kamino jetpack.

Sure, on a regular card for a regular price!

Here's this set with the imperial heads on them... leads to Motti and Piett in Rebel Disguises I suppose, but I'm good with it for variety.

With the Hasbro Outlet pricing on these guys, I picked up an extra set, and a 4-Pack of Hoth troopers on Amazon for $25 to do some head swaps... 

Here are those guys with Hoth rebel soldier noggins.
