I would say that’s Cap showing that he was worthy was my favorite part of the film.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Avengers (and sequels)
« on: May 1, 2019, 02:24 PM »You talking about the girl squad? Or something else?
Yep, the women. Just imagining the rage some people felt while watching that makes me chuckle
I just saw Endgame yesterday and I had the same reaction. That was a big FU to all of the misogynistic ******** out there in the world. I loved the scene.
I did find the movie to be profoundly sad as for me there were many tear inducing moments.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2018 TVC Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna)

An update on my conversation with Hasbro customer support about my Jabba. While I was at Celebration, they sent me a message saying they could exchange my Jabba for a new one. So they provided a pre-paid postage label and today I was able to get the Hutt packed up and shipped back to them. Interestingly enough, the label had their Pawtucket main office as the delivery address. So hopefully, that will get this moving and I receive a more pleasant to the eye crime lord.

The Vintage Collection / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?
« on: April 19, 2019, 10:39 AM »The real question is 3 3/4". Will Hasbro have a 5 POA "for the kids" line?
Yes, Hasbro will have a "for the kids" line... the real question is whether it will be 3.75" AND 5.5" or just the 5.5" that is 'rumored' (and by 'rumored', I mean not confirmed by Hasbro but confirmed by Jayson/Yakface via leaky e-tailer computer systems across the internet).
In Spring 2020 (post-TRoS), I'd guess there will be:
- 3.75" TVC collector focused with very small footprint at retail but big footprint via 'fan channels'
- 5.5" kids line with sequel trilogy and "galaxy of heroes" character line-up
- 6" Black Series collector focused with footprint at retail and fan channels
I think it’s safe to say TVC is already in this state. Outside of Force Friday, I don’t expect any major brick and mortar representation for TVC. Maybe a few stores will get a case, but 2018 Wave 1 and the Wave 2 repacks have likely killed Target and Walmart’s interest in having this line on shelves

Ran across this wave at Walgreens the other day. First time seeing most of the figures at retail. Keep your eyes opened, they were in the toy/holiday overflow section of the store.

« on: April 18, 2019, 03:21 PM »
Keep an eye out on Ross, I found in two different stores the Rebolt/Hound 2 pack for $9.99. In one store I also found the Royal Guard single pack figure for $4.99. All those figures Target never got had to go somewhere...

What about that Filoni/Pittsburgh homage Chopper? Now if they could do him in his Imperial colors that would be awesome.

Celebration was a blast as always (this was my fourth one). There was a little JD reunion when I ran into Dale on Saturday. Thought I'd share the photo...

A close look of these in person and Jedi Luke seems just off. I think it’s his nose, might be a little too long. Still want it though

It looks worse in person. There is different versions too, all equally ugly.

« on: April 9, 2019, 08:20 PM »Fly guy has reported that Emperor Palpatine with throne and a couple spare heads and force lightning is coming out. Deluxe or SDCC exclusive? We’ll find out more soon.
Let's hope Goldblum is right, this is definitely needed.

« on: April 2, 2019, 04:18 PM »It's still a good Chewbacca. I would like for them to do a Solo version...would go nice with the Han Solo we have.
Put the bandolier from the SOLO 5 POA Chewie on this new TVC Chewie and you pretty much have a SOLO SA Chewie
