The Vintage Collection / Re: 2020 TVC Imperial Troop Transport

Just got my shipping notice 5 minutes ago

My shipping notice just came tonight as well...  Glad I got my order in early enough 8)
This should be a fun vehicle based on what Jesse and Jeff are saying. I’m looking forward to loading it up!

The new Imperial Troop Transport looks really cool and is something I definitely plan to add to my collection  8)

However, I’m a tad confused.  I got an email on Tuesday from Entertainment Earth showing the vehicle as in stock and placed an order through the website.  The order has since had a status of “processing”.  The EE site now shows the vehicle as a preorder item, like Matt Fury just noted. Every other retailer, by contrast, seems to be showing the transport for a March release.

Did EE act too soon regarding the in-stock status of the item or was I too late and the initial batch sold out?  Did anyone else successfully order one of these from EE? While I was hoping to have the item in hand in short order, it is really no big deal and I can wait.  It just seemed a little odd for it to have been in stock only then to not be...

And the Mandalorian sans his helmet looks like...  The actor Pedro Pascal  ;D

So, do we all just burn down society if baby Yoda is dead or in serious peril at the end of season 8? It seems only fair.

That sounds like something worth rioting about!

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (SPOILERS)
« on: December 20, 2019, 03:08 AM »
I’m still trying to digest TROS after seeing it on opening night.  I’m going back again to see it Friday so that will give me a chance to pick up on anything I missed and more time to process it all. I definitely didn’t hate it, but I do feel it had too quick of a pace and was way over the top special effects-wise.  At the same time, there were some really great scenes, I liked the way Leia was handled, and I liked the way it ended. 

But if you ask me, The Mandalorian feels a lot more like classic Star Wars than TROS does.

Mine came on Saturday...  It sure is a beefy action figure!

Just got my shipping notice... :D

Got mine yesterday as well  8)

The Vintage Collection / Re: Figure Ideas from The Mandalorian
« on: December 2, 2019, 11:48 PM »
I want a couple more Klatoonian raiders to go with the AT-ST...  I’ve considered tracking down a Kithaba figure, but the going rate for those seems to be around $40 and more!

I’m stuck out of state far from any Best Buy’s so I just ordered this online. Looks like at least a two week wait...should have jumped on it sooner.

Same here.  Put in my order over the weekend and it was at least a couple weeks for home delivery...  But I’m not in a huge rush though.

I enjoyed episode 4 just as much as I have the previous three 8)
It certainly took inspiration from the plot line of the films Seven Samurai or The Magnificent Seven, save without the tragic end results for the main characters.  I thought the AT-ST seemed far more menacing than they did in ROTJ...  Guess that’s due to the glowing viewports/eye effect and that battle sequence taking place in the dark, adding an element of suspense.  Again, another solid episode and maybe an excuse to finally open my TVC AT-ST Raider  ;)

I echo the sentiments about the need for a Baby Yoda ;)

But I loved the fight with the Jawas on the sandcrawler in Friday’s episode and then the later scene where all the Jawas were chanting “The Egg!” as the crawler moved along - it was just hilarious in a good way!  And awesome that Baby Yoda demonstrated it has force powers 8)

TV-9D9 / Re: Star Wars Resistance

I know I’m late to the meeting, so to speak, but I finally watching some of the first season of Star Wars Resistance on Disney+.  It is definitely a kid-oriented show (much more so than Rebels or Clone Wars) but overall it’s not bad at all and I’m rather enjoying it :)

I picked this figure up earlier this week after coming across several at a local Target.  It’s an interesting variation on C3PO for sure, given that he’s armed and all.

I had signed up for Disney+ several weeks ago and had no issues logging into the site or accessing content like others initially reported.  I wound up streaming it via my laptop connected to my TV, though I may eventually try my TV’s web browser app (even though it tends to be slow).

In any event, I enjoyed the Mandalorian! While the first episode was a bit less “epic” than I was expecting, the show looked and felt like Star Wars and there was a ton of attention to detail that made it seem to fit right with the films and other media. I’m looking forward to seeing how the series progresses.
