Am I the only one here that needs the Jabba???

Pics of the carded Bib Fortuna are showing up.  Looks pretty cool.

Nice wave!  Can't wait to get a closer look at these!

The odd part is that the BoBF playset comes with a dais.

Hasbro seems more interested in creating lots of little bottles, pillows, and other random doo-dads than actually making a cool playset at a reasonable price.  I'm not sure if they put all those things in there just to justify the price or if people (other than photo scene specialists) really dig those things.


It's called "World Building."

I got one.  Pretty smooth compared to other preorders.

172
He'll definitely be available later... that's Hasbro's whole thing. 

My cynical prediction is that after this set has come and gone, he'll be available in a deluxe box with the torture rack, Target exclusive... $27.

Not only are you right about the Deluxe figure Rob, but it wouldn't shock me that when Hasbro talks about this at SDCC, they will probably say this will be the only way to get the carded 8-D8, then a year later drop the carded version in the main line.  (Remember the Soft goods Mando was only going to be available in the Razor Crest?)

173
I just realized that this is Hasbro and that 8-D8 is going to be carded within the box.

174
I'm in for this just for the fact that the Jabba in my Throne Room diorama is the melty one.

I expect to see the 8-D8 on a card sometime soon, it would be one of the original 96.

My idea for a never before seen vintage figure for ROTJ was a Darth Vader with removable helmet.  I do like the Mon Mothma!

Our GPS Flight Ops team has more guys named Josh than women.  I an almost certain the Lockheed/Martin hiring process is:

LM: "Hi, what's your name?"

Dude in for the interview: "My names Josh --"

LM: "You're hired!"

Blitz is still available for preorder.

I don't think I've ever seen this happen before.

I don't think the Ghost will do Razor Crest numbers...especially with a $600 price tag.  If the economy was better, things might be different, but Hasbro is going to have to weigh that in their calculations.

What I would like to see for the unlocks:

     - The second Phantom.  There should be one in the base unlock, so the other one should be a tier unlock.
     - Special versions of the crew on special cards.  There had better be single carded releases of each of these figures in the main line.
     - An electronics package.  Get enough interest in this thing to add electronics to it.
     - An advanced display stand.  I really like the one that came with the Razor Crest, but I would like something adjustable to display the Ghost in different ways.  Hell, the Mando N-1 Starfighter is coming with a display stand.

My Colts showed up in a bubble mailer, thanks to the thicker cards, one was near perfect, the other had a slight bend.

Thanks for sharing Rob.  It's a nice update, but I'm not going to lose sleep if I don't get one.
