If you have any of the small Targets near you like I do, it might be worth a look.  The ones by me are putting TVC on clearance for $3.89 each.  Picked these up today for just over $20...

I didn't mean obvious that they'll win from here, I just meant obvious choices out of the 64 we started with.  Like, this is your chance to tell Hasbro you want them to make something that hasn't been made and as a group we picked something that they surely know we want made.

Baylan and Shin it is I suppose.  What incredibly obvious choices.

How's the Finn head? I didn't order him but I might if he's a decent enough improvement.

Super rough though...there's so few actual scenes you can even set up with the ST stuff. I actually took them out of my display shelves until they eventually make some connective tissue there, scene-wise. Poe's orange x-wing is such an awesome ship too, so it's a shame.

They're fine, just unnecessary. They straight up changed Finn's shoe color too.

Here's comparisons, the old ones are on the left... new ones on the right:

Yep.  They've worn me down. 

I'm at the point where I'd rather pay more for NEW characters instead of $16.99 for repacks and repaints and photo-real deco re-releases.  Dream Item doesn't have to mean enormous.  Make a Vader funeral pyre.  A ROTS Sith Throne... a ten pack of cantina aliens or Jabba's palace goons.  A Home Won command center... anything that's not the same stuff over and over again.

To be honest there is a bunch of stuff I'd like them to make, including the rebel transport, but I don't want it to be a $450 version.  A $150-$200 version would be just fine for the rebel transport, a Ahsoka's T-6, First Order troop carrier, Fondor Haulcraft, etc. 

I thought the Mandalorian N-1 was perfect.  Something mid-sized where reasonable compromises are made to keep it affordable.

In fact I'm not sure there is anything on this list that feels like I would want to spend $450 for and have it take up a giant shelf.  Even if they did the cantina I would hope they could find a way to create value without making it too expensive and elaborate (e.g. I don't need piles of Instagram worthy pillows, etc.).

Same.  I don't need everything to be enormous.  I wish they'd use Haslab for more esoteric or risky items even if they're regular sized things.

Got Finn and Cassian today.

Hooray.

By my count, this Finn is the first sequel trilogy figure since I moved into my house, which is just under three years ago.

Hasbro really hates those movies.


Edit… also just got shipping notices from Amazon and Pulse on the Clone and Dooku.

I feel like a dinosaur.  The only OT thing on there is Obi-Wan Kenobi, which we have a dozen different versions of.

Ultimately, I'd like them to make almost all of the 64 figures in the entire bracket... Hasbro is really missing out with their limited selection.

Yeah the GR-75 or Cantina are probably the only two in that list I’d be terribly interested in.  Ther are a few other okay ones I guess, but nothing else too exciting to me.

Flagg sized Tantive IV  ;D

I'd have to throw it in the garage and start parking my car on the street.

Thanks Jeff, ordered the four new ones today using your Amazon links.

72
Hoping for a proper Cantina that includes a few new aliens… I’m just about tapped out when it comes to space for enormous vehicles and the Ghost hasn’t even shipped yet.

The R2 is a BAD sculpt.  Lazy.

The Leia is nice, but I would've preferred soft goods.

Also, didn’t I buy a “new” R2-D2 like a year ago?!

Yeah no surprise, but he’s a thief and a liar and hopefully never shows up again.
