That makes sense. Hopefully the Disney crawler is huge. Definitely looking forward to that.

Someone asked Hasbro at TF about a Sandcrawler, and not sure of the exact quote, but they effectively dismissed it. I look forward to the Disney one, because I'm a Jawa fanatic.

When I was younger, I always wanted a Hoth Echo Base set. Like huge, with the hangar. Doubt that would ever happen.

I don't know why our hobby revolves around the rampaging insecurities of a man who really needs some perspective in his life. He screams about collectors ruining a hobby by not supporting it at retail as he pimps eBay auction links to an overseas seller that is selling Hasbro product out the back door. He bitches about other sites leaking when he does it all the time. He bitches about Hasbro while he kisses their ass. But i've said all that before about this guy. He's a dumpster fire who refuses to go out.

I don't want to get stuck in the tar pit of JTA's many, many character defects, but this is as others have said, simply irresponsible. No one else needs to go into debt, manageable or otherwise, to subsidize someone else's hobby. No one needs to buy something at full retail, if they can't afford it. If they pick it up on clearance, they're taking advantage of a market that decided the thing was too expensive or unwanted. That's how it is in collecting. if you have a problem with 'those people' then you have much bigger problems in your life. They're toys. That's all. Don't skip meals. Don't skip payments to other obligations. Get your priorities straight.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: Toys R Us Black Series 6" Zuckuss

Ditto.

That's a really good point. I don't think there is any large scale interest in the ephemera of SW in the 6 inch scale. Environments, vehicles, etc. don't seem to work. I don't know if it's the price or the space they take up or what, but all of these go straight to clearance. The whole point of the 3.75 figure in the first place was that it allowed for the ships and stuff. 6 inch doesn't do that.

Surprised they're going forward with this given the performance of the first two. Probably too far along to pull up on it now; I'm interested to see how this and the 6 inch Dewback are presented in April. Will they get any push at all? Drifting here, but also the Class A / Beast assortment - is this a different SKU? Will anyone order these?

Solo: A Star Wars Story / Re: Solo 3.75" Figure 2-Packs
« on: February 18, 2018, 05:16 PM »
Yeah, these are all incredible. I'm really high on the Solo stuff and hope there's more in the pipeline as far as the other characters we've seen and some of Qi'ra's other looks, which are all cool and more interesting than this early one.

Very unhappy Zuckuss is an exclusive, and especially to TRU. But I'm kind of stepping out of 6 inch. With TVC coming back, and just cutbacks in general. there's a lot here I'll have to skip. Pretty sure I need the Gammy though.

Aphra will be very popular. I don't think any of these will sit, actually. This is a solid wave where the repacks are highly desirable.

I see Leia and Finn and Poe still. I forgot about Poe. I suppose I'm blind to him after two years. Never see any TLJ figures. Those vanished, but we only got one case that I'm aware of.

I understand Hasbro builds excitement for retailers by throwing them exclusives, but two? To WM? And both of them new figures? That are part of the main sequence of numbers? All that screaming you hear is from the future.
