Fair enough. Couldn't disagree more.

All right I guess I took too much offense to "garbage". Seems more like placing your opinion on everyone else more than just stating your opinion. And yes the pot is calling the kettle black. And sorry to hijack a topic

Funny you say that. Mine was fine when I opened it. But he's on his dais and hasn't been touched in two years. I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. I'm scared to pick him up and see if he's permanently affixed to it

I'd agree that would be cool. But again think you're way over selling the "lazy" and assuming a lot of others hate the idea. So far JD is on your side. The sold out Target pre-orders may tell us otherwise. Guess we'll see.
I only sorta played with/collect MOTU and remember thinking those remakes on remake cardback were so great 15 or whatever years ago.

Didn't say it was apples to apples (believe somewhat similar would be they're both fruit), but it still goes to the "my toys will suffer" and "therefore I don't want others to have this opportunity for the sake of my toys" argument.
Which is fair by the way. Easy for me to say when the only "Star Wars" carded figure I have is an ok condition 21 Back Boba Fett. But calling them garbage and acting like it serves no one any purpose is a bit strong. And I still don't see a 12 back Luke plummeting in value over this. Maybe eBay will prove you right.
I can disagree but respect Nick and Darby's opinions on these. But they're not garbage because they don't fit your wants for toy collecting. Just like they're not awesome because they do fit mine. I've gotten into my Yakface disqus section mode. I need to shut up

Good points. I am admittedly not an articulation guy. I need them to stand in a row for the most part. And I am very much a nostalgic look fan. And not just the cardback

And lastly, I get I set a low bar, but why do we always set out expectations so high and then complain when we don't have them met? I thought for sure this is what we were getting. Maybe slightly different sculpts. What has Hasbro shown us that made Hem Dazon, Tarkin, Wedge, etc. an expectation and not wishful thinking
Ok I'll stop being an ass

« on: February 16, 2019, 10:21 AM »If they’d shown Tarkin and Hem Dazon and Mon Mothma, I’d be really into this. As it stands, these six are total garbage and it’s going to make a mess of eBay listings and the secondary market for vintage collecting.
Hyperbole. To me this is the I have the originals and don't want others to have fake originals argument. Somewhat similar to the 6" Archives haters argument. Sorry if I'm wrong. I have real deal loose. Not carded. Cool opportunity

« on: February 16, 2019, 10:19 AM »I hate them. They’re almost identical to real vintage. What’s the point?!
I don't have thousands of dollars is the point

Again I like it. I'd take vintage looking never made figures too, but this is cool to me. Congrats to you who has real 12 or 20/21 backs but not me. And I laugh at these messing up market for the real deal.

Per Yakface front page.
You can pre-order 6" Luke Stormtrooper and 4" Vintage Collection Han Stormtrooper on Target.com
The first six retro figs were up for pre-order too but sold out. I love the look of those.

I always get free shipping on the nothing I ever order from Hasbro since I'm always reading the reports of them having stuff four minutes after they've been reported and subsequently sold out

As the resident JDer who likes most everything Hasbro gives us I have to say........ what is the point of these? Are they going after the high end collector?

I'd take some more Resistance main characters and some racers. Ain't gonna happen but none the less I'd take them
