It sounds like the Speeder Bike is an all new tooling, and the Biker scout will be updated as well. About time on those. I’m excited for the Piett too, about time we get a new non-potf2 version of him. I’m really hoping they knock it out of the park with him and make the definitive Imperial Officer base figure.

I can talk until my face turns blue about how wrong the Mando Luke in both scales are and how not having Luke in the ROTJ 40th waves for TBS is ridiculous. But at this point seeing all the comments online I have resigned myself to the fact that I am the only one who cares.

In the meantime, anyone know if the retro 6 pack is up for preorder today? I have been seeing conflicting reports on its status.

[Rob]

So per Jeff’s breakdown, three basic figures and not-Slave I are the only TVC and Retro preorders for today?

For 3.75", Hasbro PR stuff says only Luke, Klatooinian, Cal Kestis and the Slave I Boba's ship set are pre-order today.   No pre-order date on the PR blurb for the ANH Box #2 retro set.

I hate to pile on, but really ho-hum on the Star Wars front…..again. Granted, what they release generally looks really good, but there is just so little of it. And what is there really isn’t “new” for the most part. Three TVC reveals, a Klatoonian Raider repacked from the walker, a Mando Luke - which, while cool, isn’t exactly new new, and Cal Kestis which is great and pretty well requested.

Then the Boba Starship. I know times have very much changed, but this has gone from $70 (and I think went on deep discounts at the time), to $200. Sheesh. I’ll admit I kind of want one, but don’t think I’ll be able to justify it. I really wish we could get the stand separately for the earlier version we got.

The retro stuff is neat but woof I did not know about the pricing. That went from a definite buy to a I’ll have to see. As for the Black Series, much like the TVC stuff, they look great. Nice figures, mostly from current entertainment, and that’s ok. Prices here, like everywhere else, keep rising. It has forced me to consider this my “premium” line much like others might look at Hot Toys or Sideshow. Other than the newer Stormtroopers, I have sold off any army builders or duplicates and will be going with a one of each rule for this line - and highly selective at that. I’ll leave army building for the TVC line, and that isn’t much better. Some of it is just coming from my overall collecting attitude as prices rise and space dwindles. Some were smart enough to point it out when Black Series began, but can I really collect two entire lines of the same characters?
