The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series - 2013 Wave 2

Eesh, good luck to anyone that goes that route, those are the two figures I could never buy sight unseen though. I had to go through at least 4-5 Greedos before I found one with unblemished eyes, and nearly as many Leias just to find one with the eyes painted in the right place.

If they want to go sub $10 on Boba though I'll take my chances!

Thanks that is good to know. But sheesh, what happened to the first production run? How many did they even make? I figured I would have seen this in a TRU but I never even heard of them hitting a brick and mortar store.

Does BBTS ever give out promo codes for free shipping?  ;D

Oh man, yeah...that was BRUTAL. Gemma don't play! That show keeps upping the ante somehow, good stuff.

Kind of at the halfway point now for the 2013 TV season overall, some random thoughts:

Outside of Walking Dead, I can't think of any other show I'm enjoying more right now than American Horror Story. Terrific scenery-chewing acting chops, horrifically entertaining over-the-top violence (melon-baller to the eye FTW!) and a plot that continues to twist and evolve with every episode. Loving this season.

Best newcomer award goes to The Blacklist, I love the instant gratification that comes with getting the bad guy every week, not to mention the smug perfection of James Spader simply being better than everyone else and knowing it. I don't think his Gal Friday is a particularly good actress but she's not insufferable.

Close second to Almost Human - this has been better than expected, I figured it would be some dumbed down police procedural with a goofy cyborg twist, but it's actually darker and more interesting than I suspected it would be going in. And Karl Urban is so money.

SHIELD has been a solid meh. It teases so much potential but they don't seem to want to take it to the next level. The last few episodes were a distinct improvement, but I still find myself at least a couple of times each week saying "these idiotic jackasses are supposed to be a super-skilled espionage and counter-terrorism agency?" The writing is just not very tight and WTF are the superheroes already? Do you really need expensive CGI for Power Man and Iron Fist? OR any other the other galaxy of waiting secondary heroes you have at your disposal?

Overall I still think Walking Dead is the best thing on TV right now. Can't wait for the back half of this season!

I was finally ready to cave and order the 18" Gipsy Danger off TRU.com with the current 15% off deal only to find they have totally removed the listing from their website. And no way to preorder Knifehead either.  ???

Do we think we'll get other 10" figures? That seemed like more of a one-ff to me but I guess I could see them doing more if it sold well. Wish they could have gotten Daryll into stores before Christmas.

I need a Rex too. WTF is the hold up on this wave? And the next wave of Mission Series 2-packs? How do they expect to move these after Christmas?

I got my Negans yesterday, and they ROCK! What a great figure!

Also, I have to say this was the most well-packed online order I have ever received. Each figure was wrapped carefully in bubble wrap and taped shut, and then both were surrounded by an outer layer of heavy duty bubble wrap to secure them in place inside a perfectly sized box that did not allow for excess movement.

Kudos to Skybound for the great job!

My partial order arrived yesterday, so I got Mara, but no Plagueis. No idea when he might show up.

They were packed in a small box with no filler, but they arrived intact so no worries.

It's Clone Wars. There was an episode in the series where Boba rigged his dad's helmet with a bomb, in order to kill Mace. Hasbro did a cool version of that in the animated line, with a break apart helmet and sculpted bomb inside. Shame they used a normal Jango helmet with this figure.

Thank you, I got mine last night and was confused about this as well. I recalled from the last days of TVC that there were realistic versions of Mace and Rex in the pipeline, so I always assumed this was that Mace. I have had it on my Want List for awhile now.

But then when I got it, the helmet made me wonder. This should have been the exploded helmet with bomb like with the original animated version. Kind of a big oversight, IMO.

I will say though, this is about the best sculpt of Samuel Jackson I have seen on ay action figure. They nailed it.

I just looked it up and it was back in stock for $14.99. Seriosuly, like 2 minutes ago.

I have no interest in this set whatsoever but even I am tempted to pick up a couple for that price.

Great timing!

I pulled the trigger on Plagueis, Mara Jade, and Black Series Mace Windu,  for less than $24 total. Gotta love that, doubt I will ever even see those first two in stores.
