The Vintage Collection / Re: 2024 March Madness Poll

How dare these a holes vote for what they want in a poll.

Yes, how dare they...

As I said, in the end, it is what it is.

Tonnika Sisters and Sim Aloo losing in round 1 says all I need to know about this stupid bracket.  Obviously the demographic of voters is PT/CW era fans as they usually dominate this thing.  Add in super obvious choices like Ahsoka baddies/characters…so dumb

Plus you have the complete the 96 crowd choosing figures already made over never-before-made... SMH.

Someone mentioned on the group FB page that voting dropped between the two quarter rounds... I can see it further dropping if certain tendencies continue to happen.

In the end, it is what it is.

I've grown on these.  I like the modern takes on the figures they've done. I think some of my favorites are Scrap Iron, Firefly, and Tunnel Rat so far... off the top of my head.

And if the cycle is like it was in the 80s, I'm nearing the end of my collecting days since Star Wars hasn't capture much love from me lately (granted Star Wars in the 80s was pretty much over after Jedi).

What are your 20 most wanted figures you'd like to see in The Vintage Collection from The Eras Tour: Expanded Universe (Print, Comics, Gaming)?  You can put Canon or Not.

The rules are simple: post your wishlist for the 20 3-3/4" figures or send them to me.  At the end of the month, I’ll tally up the votes and we’ll move on to the next theme.

Have fun!

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Sales and Discounts

Thanks, guys.  I bought the Temple Escape one... but it's a bit of a slippery slope... Do I get Marion? Dad? Short Round?

I've been tempted to get an Indy figure and wonder what the experts (Jeff) would suggest.  I guess the iconic one I think of is the Temple Escape one. I thought there was another one in the Adventure Series that was similar (the same?), but didn't come with the idol , but apparently that sold out.

Hemlock is seriously creepy!

He definitely reminds me of a certain real-life someone in looks...

After watching the third episode of Bad Batch, I was reminded of some others I'd prefer... so made a couple adjustments.

The "It's Season THREE now Hasbro, WTF are you even doing" Category:

It's not just Season THREE (in which we should have gotten more than a few figures by now, one being one of the title characters), it's the FINAL Season.

Where's the strike while the iron's hot mentality?

I got through two... well, more like 1.5 as I kept nodding off the second episode.  I'll have to rewatch the last half and watch the third one to really form an opinion.  The first episode was pretty good though.

not sure if the droid is carded

It is.

Clearance vultures REALLY hurt the vehicle segment of Hasbro's Star Wars line.  Any time an exclusive vehicle got announced there would be a chorus of people saying "I'll buy it on clearance".  And they wonder why Target won't offer exclusive vehicles anymore?  It seems like Hasbro is forcing an uncomfortable conversation with some of these people.

And bravo to Hasbro for doing so.  Why should a group of people ruin it for the rest of us?  The clearance vultures are a vocal group and now we are starting to hear them say the same things about figures in both scales: "Hey! If I can get these at Ross or Ollies down the road for 70+% off, I might as well wait."  That's not going to help us get new figures in the line, nor is it going to instill confidence in the product if the retailers can't sell it in their stores.

It's funny, some people at the SW The Vintage Collection FB group were commenting about buying the E-Wing on clearance.

The group should actually encourage these people to wait for the E-wing to hit clearance and then laugh at them when they realized they've shot themselves in the foot.
