Hmm, a "new" Luke announced on the same day that Bandai SH Figuarts announces their new Mandalorian Luke, which can also double as a Jabba's Palace Luke... did they even bring up differences between this Luke and the Walmart Exclusive Luke from 2019? (I was working all day and missed the presentation and am just now catching up).

Like everyone else is saying, this is a huge disappointment. I WANTED to buy this thing, and was even preparing to fight with my girlfriend over it. It really is an amazing piece of work. Individual articulated finger joints! Incredible.

But there is just no enthusiasm behind this from the Hasbro team. The choices somewhat make sense, but are mind boggling. I did expect Luke and a Gammorrean, those just make sense even if they're reissues. But Oola and Malakili were RIGHT THERE as Tier 3 and 4 choices, which likely would have had people backing this by the dozens. My personal wish was even for a pack in reissue of Black Series Jabba with the dias. But we're only getting Crumb, who is already being reissued in a $40 Disney set that's easily available online? There were dozens of ways Hasbro could have gone, and it feels like they made the worst possible decision nearly every step of the way.

Not mad, just disappointed. Hopefully people vote with their wallets and show Hasbro that you have to at least make an effort. TVC collectors seem to be VERY pleased with their Haslab offerings, and Hasbro seems/seemed to enjoy showing off the Sail Barge and the Razor Crest. It's a shame they can't show the same love for Black Series.

Yeah I might just be in for the Creatures Pack. I'd love that droid set, but you can still find Battle Droids for close to retail online, and that was my main reason for wanting to grab that sai. Ditto for Hux, I'll wait for the eventual rerelease, even though that will take years.

Same thoughts here. I would expect this kind of stuff as like a Tier 4 “holy cow we didn’t expect to get this far” offering. Like, it’s a really nice set of accessories. But the Marvel crowdfunds both got new figures in their reveals, and I guess I’m let down because that was my expectation.

Also, where in the movies do these orange guys show up... Rogue One?  Trying to figure out where to put them.

In the Jedi Outcast video game, the higher ranking Stormtroopers used pauldrons, so I’ve always used them as squad leaders in displays.

Now the rest of you know what it’s like to ship stuff out of Texas! 

Seriously, pre-Covid it cost about $15 to ship a single carded 6 inch figure. I lost so many sales because of it. I shudder to think what it costs now.

I've definitely been on the lazier side this year, but you're stuck with me until the league dies.

My PulseCon 90s Animated Venom arrived the other day. I'm digging these retro Spidey figures so much that I'm planning to sell the original versions of some of the characters like Green Goblin, Mysterio, Shocker, etc.
