The Vintage Collection / Re: 2024 TVC Wave 4 (New TVC Wave 36)

Ordered. I missed out on this Luke originally and he is currently still going for $50+ on Amazon/eBay, I think he was as good a choice as any for a repack. I grabbed a few to open and one more for the updated card.

I agree, Rex looks ******* great. He's one of my favorite characters, so I also grabbed a few to replace the old ones. in my displays.

Same. These were by FAR the four least exciting things from the panel yesterday. They didn't even update Axe's torso to match the season 3 armor (as seen on the cardback).

I guess I'm somewhat glad to get this version of Mando again so that I can put him in my N-1, I still had the N-1 version carded and didn't want to buy an extra. These releases were just all so excepted, I wish we would have gotten a little surprise & delight.

And also Sabine/Chopper.

I was impressed that they snuck a few more lothcats in there since the mural has more than just Ezra's white one.  Now they just have to find a way to put out the wolves from the mural.  :D

The inclusion of the Lothcats was nice, and I appreciated that.  But when I saw that and the other accessories with Sabine?  I saw how this 2-pack is almost certainly going to cost more than the previous 2-packs.  I'm predicting $49.99 for that.

$49.99 was pretty spot on...

Price hurts on this one for sure. They're effectively calling both of these "Deluxe" figures. That being said, holy **** that Sabine is awesome. I love that they listened to feedback and fixed the removable helmet / swappable head. The paint app on her is perfect. Even though Chopper and the Lothcats are repaints, I'll still be glad to have them. I grabbed three sets for now (one to open, one to keep carded, and an extra for later).

Garbage offerings.  There’s literally nothing to get excited about with these reveals, for me at least

Eh, I was excited about Sabine & Chopper. I think they look great. I was also happy to hear see the overall shift from removable helmets to swappable heads. It's nice to finally see Cobb Vance get pipelined. I do like the new Rex. He wasn't as high on my list but the last figure kind of sucks and he is one of my favorite characters, so I'm happy for the upgrade.

Overall though it did feel pretty ho-hum. Outside of Cobb Vanth, and Season 3 Sabine, there wasn't anything that isn't a retool/kitbash/repack of some sort.

Final Season Trailer dropped today! February seems so soon, I thought this would be a lot further out. I'm really excited to see how this all wraps up.

It was crushing to see Tech again.  :'(

Do we know if he is replacing someone or stepping in as the new lead over the existing team?

Dark Troopers down to $16 on Amazon now…

TVC Dark Troopers = $15.74 at Pulse:

Thanks! Just ordered two more.

I have 12 (that I originally got for $20) or I might have gotten a few more at that price. If the Dark Troopers had been in season 3 instead of (or in addition to) the commandos, I’d have wanted more of them.

Star Wars Anthology / Re: The Mandalorian & Grogu
« on: January 9, 2024, 01:42 PM »

This seems to be different from Filoni's Mandoverse movie.  This one is to be directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni.

The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into production in 2024.

Nice! Hopefully, this production has better luck than the last few planned movies. Considering this is directed Favreau, features Mando and Grogo, & production is starting this year, signs are looking good.

Hopefully, it ends up being better than S3 of Mando, too. As of now, I'm cautiously optimistic and excited. It'll be fun to hear more about this. It's been a long drought for SW in theaters, and longer still since a good SW movie was in theaters.

With the ANH mains coming out again later this year, I am really hoping for a modular Death Star Hallway playset, which would tie in nicely together with the pipeline figures. It'd also fit the rumor description of the box size being very reminiscent of the Tantive IV set. Ideally, it would be designed in a way that could later connect to a larger HasLab type set.

Shoot, got distracted over the holidays and forgot to get my list in. I’m pretty happy with the top 20 though we are just so short of figures from this era outside of Mandalorians and Grogu.

Star Wars The Vintage Collection AT-ST & Chewbacca - $43.99 from Best Buy.

I had some Best Buy rewards, so it came out to $25 for me.  I couldn't pass on that!

It went quick and sold out before I could get to it. I may have to try and check a Best Buy this week. I'd grab one at that price.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2023 Last Figure Standing Poll
« on: December 18, 2023, 06:07 PM »
The answer is so easy here - A Cantina Goons 4-pack.

Go with the same format that was used for the recent Jabba Goons 4-pack:
- Tonnika Sisters take the two "obscure human" slots (like Taym/Velkin)
- Momaw Nadon/Hammerhead takes the "redo" slot (like Tessek)
- Ponda Baba/Walrus Man takes the "repack" slot (like ReeYees)

Hasbro gets to run around boasting how they filled three top fan choices in one set, the 'finish the 96' get Hammerhead, the "give us new" folks get Tonnikas.  Everyone wins (except people who hate paying $80 for 4 figures if they don't want them all).


I’m happy to keep voting for the Tonnika Sisters to let Hasbro know I think that a 50 year old photo that says Star Whores isn’t a good enough reason to not make the figures. 

Yeah, after 25 years of asking for them in the modern line, it's kind of mind boggling that the party line is still "LFL said no, no further comment".  Like Nick said, seems to be a really hard sell at LFL which is just so dumb at this point.

Love it. I'd buy that in heartbeat. I'd be fine swapping Dr. Ezavan for Ponda, too.

I’m wondering if the Grand Inquisitor is going to follow in Reva’s footsteps… the two targets nearest me have each had 6 on the pegs for a few weeks.

Ross finds continued tonight. I finally found some of the E-Web stormtroopers and even some Death Star Gunners. I hope the Wal-Mart “Finish the 96” waves continue to show up at Ross. I want more great army builders for cheap.

I’ll probably do a Ross run this weekend and hit up a few.
