Yakface has posted the latest GameStop Gaming Great figure - Zaalbar the Wookiee. 

I'm passing on this one. 

I never played the game so I don't have any attachment to this character and I really don't find the kitbash that interesting.

The Black Series 6" Figures / 2021 HasLab - Black Series Rancor
« on: June 10, 2021, 08:15 AM »
So what do you think will be the rumored 6" HasLab project to be revealed later in the year?

They said its not a vehicle.

Some have speculated that it'll be the Rancor.

I'm trying to think what I would even be willing to pay much money for that isn't a vehicle.  The big 6" items are just so big that I've passed on some of them as I don't want to dedicate the space to it.

What sort of  environment would you be willing to plunk down $250 for?  ANH cantina?  Navarro cantina?  Jabba's palace?  We've got so few of the figures that would interact with any of those I'm not sure it makes sense.

Creature options?  Rancor?  Blurgg probably wouldn't be big and expensive enough.  Not sure a bantha would be big enough either unless they have a bunch of pack ins with it.

I'm not sure anything I've named is something I'd be willing to spend $250 on.  Thoughts?

Watto's Junk Yard / NFL / Star Wars Mashup

I love the NFL, and I love Star Wars, but the appeal of a Star Wars/NFL mashup t-shirt is totally lost on me.

The Vintage Collection / We need more VTC figures!
« on: April 20, 2021, 09:22 AM »
I was watching Rogue One a bit last night and its a shame all the fun characters that they never made.  In particular it'd be great to get a pile of the rebel pilots and the rebel soldiers. 

It'd be nice to see them do a kitbash/repaint of General Merrick's whole Blue Squadron in a set.  They could reuse a lot of parts and do new heads and helmets for them.

TV-9D9 / Bad Batch (Disney+)
« on: March 30, 2021, 12:23 PM »
The Bad Batch is coming back on May the 4th and the trailer just dropped.  It looks pretty sweet.

It looks like at least some of this takes place after Order 66 and The Clone Wars officially end.  And I had forgotten that Echo joined the crew.  Hopefully we're getting a 6" Bad Batch version of him soon too.

The Vintage Collection / Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021
« on: March 16, 2021, 11:14 AM »
Hasbro is advertising their "Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest" on April 9th.  This includes a bunch of their brands including Star Wars.

It sounds like there will be some "revealed" products and pre-orders for members.  It's really unclear if any of the revealed products are exclusives - they use the term "exclusive activations", but then mention "product reveals" separately.

Anybody have any speculation on what will be revealed and if there will be any exclusives, or just pre-orders for broadly commercial items?  I'm sure Jayson knows if he's out there lurking...

Hopefully everyone has a reminder set for the pre-order for Wrecker today at 1PM ET.  Thanks to Jayson and Yakface for the note.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Cal Kestis (Gaming Great) from GameStop
« on: February 8, 2021, 11:32 AM »
If you haven't seen the posts at Yakface and other places, Cal Kestis is getting a new outfit and being re-released.  Looks like some new accessories as well.

I think I'm personally gonna pass on this.  I barely played the game with my kids and fell like I've been too stupid and bought too many of their Gaming Greats repaints.  I bought the original but don't think I need this one.

LEGO / The End of the Road?
« on: February 8, 2021, 10:39 AM »
I think I've come to a crossroads with my collecting and my Lego sets.  I've got tons of Hasbro 3.75" and 6" stuff, some other random stuff, and nearly every Star Wars Lego ever made.  1/4 are open (built or demolished and bagged up ) and 3/4 are still in their boxes.

I'm building out my display area and can't come close to having 50% on display.  Playsets, vehicles, and Lego take up the most room in displays.

Lego was fun to actually play with for awhile as my kids got in to them and we built sets together, but they've moved on and don't have much interest anymore.

I'm just not sure what to with my stacks and stacks of Lego, plus the new sets they're rolling out.  I've not bought much in the past couple of years as a lot has been rehash or not that interesting, so cutting the cord on new stuff won't be hard.  I just don't know what to do with my existing stuff.  Sell it? Keep it boxed?

I didn't have a hard time parting with other large chunks of my collection over the years (12", MicroMachines, Galactic Heroes), but I'm really struggling with what to do with Lego.  I loved Legos as a kid and still think they're so cool.

Have any of you current/former Lego collectors hit the same crossroads and made a decision?

The good news is the resale price of Legos is kinda nuts, so selling it off should be fairly profitable...

LEGO / Lego 2021
« on: February 3, 2021, 11:21 AM »
Anybody know if there is a Target exclusive Star Wars polybag as part of their Easter seasonal line this year?  I've only checked a couple of Targets and seen two different Lego polybag sets, but no Star Wars.

Other Collectibles / Nerf
« on: December 7, 2020, 04:20 PM »
Wow.  Did you see the new Mandalorian Amban Phase-pulse Blaster pre-order.

Pretty darn cool, but I'm not sure I need a $120 Nerf toy.

Watto's Junk Yard / Star Wars Thrift Paintings

This cracked me up.  Seems right up your alley Jayson.

Yakface is reporting on two figures being offered at the Disney Parks.

I can't tell if there is anything new with the 4-LOM, but the CB-23 is a new color scheme.  I'll be trying to track down CB-23.  I checked and these aren't available via the ShopDisney.com site or app yet.  eBay might have to be the the way to go on these.

Yakface tweeted that the newest holiday droid, BB-H20, is available to order from ShopDisney.com.  I placed my order this morning to add to my collection of Halloween and Holiday droids.

I got my HasbroPulse The Armorer exclusive today in the mail.  This figure is all kinds of awesome.

It looks like the main differences between the standard release and the exclusive version is a soft goods fur cape (vs. a molded plastic), and four extra accessories for smithing.  The extra accessories are a hot version of the hammer and tongs, a fire blast effect, and a Mandalorian Helmet.  The helmet is cool to have in the tongs, but the other three accessories are just kind of meh.

I would say the soft goods cape alone is probably worth the extra few dollars and looks fantastic.  This is definitely the way.
