TV-9D9 / Re: Ahsoka (SPOILERS possible)

On a second watching with my daughter, she noticed a purgl flying above the clouds when Baylan is looking up (when he first arrives on the planet, before the map scene).

I just got my shipping info. Between this and the Tusken troop pack, I've got a nice little Tusken crew. I'm going to need to rethink that display shelf.

I think the Filoni will end up doing what he did with the Prequels and make things more cohesive. Say what you will about the Clone Wars show, they tied up some loose ends on the Prequels really nicely.

I'd like some slightly smaller, slightly cheaper items that encourage multiple purchases, like Hasbro did with the HISS tank. Something like the Y-Wing or B-Wing would be great, but I'm sure there are plenty of other options. That I could see annually. I'd easily buy 3-4 Y-Wings if they were to-scale (or at least much closer) and around $175-$250.

Funded.

Old man 3.75" collectors win again.  It only took about ~91 hours for 3.75" nerds to pony up $4million dollars.  $4,000,000 dollars.

That is incredible if you stop and think about it.  Bring on a HasLab Mos Eisley Cantina next!

We actually did it with all the other SW preorders flooding in as well. I think it was foolish for Hasbro to time this around the same point that the Boba Fett's Fatuna palace is arriving, but it seems to have worked!

Horrifying thought. They also would have had permanent action poses...remember those days? Either you had jedi sculpted in battle pose with rock-hard capes and robes so you could fit about 3 on a shelf, or you had an open-mouthed Mace Windu with a lollipop sticking out of his back. How far we've come.

I'm going to be an ******* and say I wish we'd get a photoreal Jyn Erso to go with Cassian Andor. I know, I'm a terrible person.

But also: Saw Guerrera, Mon Mothma, Bodie Rook, Base Malbus...all sorely missing from our collections. Aside from the stupid removable helmet, I didn't see a problem with Axe Woves. And my collection didn't feel incomplete not having the Mandalorian dude who briefly answered the Armorer's hails about the Empire attacking.

In the panel they said:

Hera:
"this version of her costume is exclusive to HasLab, won't ever get it anywhere else"
"HasLab exclusive Kalikori totem"

Ezra:
"this version of the costume is unique"
"HasLab exclusive details"

Kanan:
"Season 4 appearance exclusive to the HasLab campaign"

In all the fan interviews I have seen so far, Hasbro keeps saying that these particular Season 4 versions of the Rebels crew are only available in the HasLab.  Here's an example:

"Those cardbacks are exclusive to the HasLab.  These versions of the figures, the later season looks, seasons 3 and 4, are exclusive to the HasLab.  No current plans to release then in any other capacity."

I guess it all comes down to whether or not you believe what Hasbro says.

Huh...I just figured they were doing the Yakface thing again, but that checks out.

I'd definitely like to see a multipack of ISB officers.  But the challenge with that is making it compelling as action figures go.  The most action these guys really see is them sitting in a conference room being chastised by their boss or bickering amongst themselves, LOL!

The action is in their anxiety, ha!

I do wonder if Bib Fatuna will ever find his way out as an individual release? I wanted to keep one carded but REALLY don't want to buy two Throne Rooms...

Every pack in figure for the last several years has.  I’d be completely shocked if this was any different.

Except for Antoc Merrick...which sucks, because I'd like one in the X-wing and one on the rebellion shelf.

I just backed 1 Ghost.  And the tally is at 6871.

I had originally thought about buying more than 1 Ghost.  Part of the reason was the figures, and wanting to keep a set carded and having another to open.  But then I noticed in the copy for the campaign that it appears that the exclusive aspect of these figures is going to be the Ghost crew mural art from the final episode of the series.  Perhaps there's going to be an exclusive accessory or two with the figures - maybe Ezra's helmet or the Kanan alternate head from "Jedi Night".  But it's my belief that these figures are all going to make it into the mainline, just on different cardbacks and some slight differences.

I backed during the live stream, but I'm considering another one. Have you seen the prices of the Sail Barge Yakface? The figures can definitely help you recoup costs, and the entire package (ship and figures) will only go up in value.

I'd consider Admiral Piett to be good for ROTJ scenes. There's no need to follow the onscreen **** up.

Looking forward to these, but I would love to have a solid 4-pack of black uniform officers with different heads, like the Rebel Fleet Trooper pack. Maybe one of them is in grey or something.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2024 TVC Jabba the Hutt Box Set w/Crumb and 8D8
« on: July 21, 2023, 11:23 AM »
I ordered it. The Crumb and 8D8 are two big wants, and Crumb looks like a whole new sculpt so I'm pretty excited about that. The hookah and bowl is a nice upgrade, and I plan to swap out the one I have in my display with this new one. The Jabba looks to have very upgraded paint apps, so I might swap him into the barge if he's better than that one. And the small accessories are always welcome.
