Star Wars Anthology / Re: Solo (SPOILERS)
« on: July 7, 2015, 04:42 PM »
I love the idea, but dread the thought of the eventual casting. Chris Pratt is terrific, but he's kinda Chris Pratt in all his movies. I think they could do well with a newbie in this role.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 2015 Hasbro 6" Fans' Choice Poll Discussion

The way things are going, they should either require that the winner have a clear majority (as opposed to a plurality) and/or break it down to a Final Two run-off between Sabine and Revan. 'Cause right now it looks like 51% plus of the responders want someone OTHER than Revan. Hard to call that a winning choice. I would have thrown my vote towards Sabine if I had known she was the only one with a prayer of beating him.

Any word on whether they're going to do painted versions?  I'd rather have non-prototype versions of these guys.

Unless they are allergic to money, they'd be crazy not to!  ;D

Was the 15% coupon a generic coupon anyone could use, or was it a one-off that only you had?

It was a one-off one sent to me in a previous order, but I believe JTA had a different one for 15% off plus free shipping on their front page last week. That might still be good.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Wampa and Hoth Luke

I got mine from HTS and I think it is fabulous. The Wampa is freaking heavy! They really went the extra mile IMO.

The horns are grey and match the lips and eyelids. Not sure if that is screen accurate or not but seems fine to me.

Very cool...I would guess it's the same scale as their WD building sets, which are also very well done.

Well, Barnes and Noble finally started to clearance some of the Wave 2 figures at 50% off, so I caved and picked up Brienne and Daenerys 2.0 last night. Time to pick up the Wave 1 guys at Target I guess, and then hope the rest of Wave 2 hits clearance later this summer.

I figured 15 figures was not prohibitive from a cost or space standpoint, so what the heck.

I think that's a ridiculous choice but no one is forcing me to buy the stupid thing so whatever.

I just wish they had limited it to canonical characters.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 2015 SDCC 6" First Order Stormtrooper

Does the pamphlet give specific details on the evolution from the stormtrooper armor from Ep 6-Ep 7? That would be the most interesting part of the timeline IMHO.

I bought the Luke and Wampa set off HTS yesterday...they had it for $35, which is odd because the HanTaun set is still listed at $40. I threw in some other stuff to get free shipping and had a 15% coupon so it worked out pretty cheap. I don't have a high confidence level about seeing this at retail anytime soon.

I bought 2 Commander Thorns and a spare Commander Doom off HTS yesterday. I would have gotten Mosep too but he sold out in like 5 seconds.   :(

I was lucky enough to find the last wave of TBS figures at my TRU by chance when they had just stocked them. I grabbed the Clone Wars inspired figs but left the rest. 2 days later they were all gone, and it was back to R5 and Yoda repping the pegs. I think in some areas they just move so quickly it seems as if they have no presence at all.

Why don't stores order more figures when they sell that quickly though? That I do not comprehend.
