TRU "Disturbance at Lars Homestead" Battle Pack

[JangoTat]

there are prices on them already? what are they?


edit*****Never mind I found them.

[Reid]

Ooooh, womp rat. Very nice. Seeing as how I don't have a Beru or Owen in my collection, I might get this pack. It'll depend on whether or not I have enough room.

[Darth_Anton]

Woah! 50 bucks for that?! It's short about 4-5 figures minimum.

Homestead is nice though.

Repacks aside, this set is pretty nice, I never knew womp rats were that big.

I do not mind the repacks, I only wish they polished the paint jobs up on them. Why is it the Uncle Owen has always been molded in a newborn hamster color plastic. It still looks shiny/translucent. I even hated that when the set came out in 97'. I am in for this set despite the hefty price tag.

[Darth Broem]

I will certainly buy this at some point for the dome.   I wish Hasbro would have at least gotten rid of the pointed finger on Owen.  That is the one thing that drives me nuts about that figure.  Anyway I am glad Hasbro is making an attempt at playsets/dioramas.  I can't believe they made the Sarlacc thing.  I gotta give them kudos for at least attempting to go this way.  Make a freaking Death Star playset/diorama and I'd be pretty happy.

[JACKOFTRADZE]

Very true.
I would rather see some stuff like this than nothing at all. In time they can get better. I am surprised the amount of complaints. Not that I want to grovel to Hasbro but I definitely appreciate the attempt and will support both endeavors.

Where are the womp rats? I don't see them.

[JangoTat]

I actually dont mind the Dome all that much. I dont have the Lars family, a romp rat is always welcome, and I am building a Sandtrooperr squad anyways. my only complaint is it being a TRU exclusive and the price tag.$50 US usually comes around $60CDN which is a bit much for this set and since it is a TRU exclusive no chance of a sale. I might have to wait it out and see with this set, maybe even just buy it in the States or look for a bargain at the next con I go to (after it comes out of course).


Romp Rat is right behind Owen. huge sucker you cant miss it.

[Brian]

It would have been nice to have some new sculpts for Owen and Beru, but I guess I'm not overly surprised.  I don't have either of the earlier figures (was holding out for new versions), and I like the dome, so I'll likely grab this set.  Plus, there's always room for another Sandtrooper.  I'm a little surprised (disappointed) at the $50 pricepoint, it does seem a bit steep for what we're getting.

Where are the womp rats?

[Rob]

Come on... they couldn't have at least thrown a new right arm onto Owen?!

[ruiner]

I am surprised the amount of complaints.

Really?

A lot of the collectors (the target market for this set) already have the three figures included so essentially they have to justify fifty bucks for a dome and a womp rat.

****, I would have been happy with a normal plastic color for Owens skin.

I am surprised the amount of complaints.

Really.
But not in regards to the hefty price tag, I was referring the Dome/Sarlacc pieces themselves. My apologies if I was not clear. I thought this was going to be $35 as did many others. Repacks with a new dome, womp rat and an evaporator for $35 I was fine with, I understand the need to repack. The $50 is very steep for what's given so I totally agree with you there.

I still have not seen a clear pic of the price tag, can anyone find a pic to confirm the $50 price tag? I have not been able to find a clear shot to confirm.

ARP: $49.99 

[CHEWIE]

Anyone besides Dagobah around here ever try making your own custom version of the homestead?  It's very frustrating to get the curves/shapes right.

I just hope that the "base" isn't some thin piece of plastic that can dent/etc.  And I agree, the Owen and Beru just suck.  We should be getting new versions of them with this.   

$50 may be expensive, but it's certainly worth it to me... I've been waiting for this for 13 years now.
