Picked up a loose commando droid (not the blue one), along with a loose SOTDS Cody and a carded SOTDS Kit Fisto at a cool secondhand toy store at the beach today. Paid around $13 for the lot. Plan to use the Fisto and Cody for some nifty customs.

Freaking ay!

That wave is a grand slam for sure. If the figures come out anywhere near as nice as those renderings they will look awesome. They are really making good figure choices too.

ETA on these hitting stores?

Yeah, but she actually died AT rehab, like at the actual facility, not after she left, at least as I understand it. That seems weird.

Also, I think that last guy is not actually dead, based on that other thread in this forum that pops up from time to time.  ;)

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 2013 SDCC Exclusive 6" Fett w/Carbonite Block

I bit and picked up one off eBay for $125. I can rationalize it any number of silly ways but what's the point? I wanted it and I got it, no time for remorse.

At least now I can be happy with a complete collection. I wonder if there will be any minor tweaks between this and the Wave 2 Boba...guessing not.

I really had a thing for her back in the day, she was smoking hot the first few seasons on that show. Her more recent mug shot was barely recognizable...eesh.

Who dies AFTER they go to rehab though?

Man, those do look great. Think I made the right call jumping on board this train.

IMO, Boba and Greedo look the strongest out of this wave, but Han is not bad either. I guess the non-human renderings are more compelling to me.

Totally agree with Jesse about the naked Leia joints, those really ruin the figure for me. The Silk Spectre in the 6" Watchmen line had the exact same issue. Just doesn't translate well at that scale.

Time to let some of that go. Unless it's never before done CW like Satine or somebody. Then I'm all for it.  :)

I super-duper agree with this sentiment!

If they can do Plagueis, there is no reason why they can't deliver core TCW characters that have yet to be done. Would still love some generic Nightsisters, Black Sun dudes, Red Mandos, etc.

Saga Legends / Re: Saga Legends "Mission Series" Figure 2-Packs
« on: August 14, 2013, 08:19 AM »
Sounds like there is an Anakin/Ahsoka 2-pack coming next year. I can only think of two unique combinations of those 2 that have not been done - the Mortis "dark Jedi" interpretation and the zygerrian (sp?) slaver outfits.

either would be awesome of course, but since this is Hasbro we're talking about I'm sure it will be neither.  :(

Is WM not carrying these, or some stores just so far not stocked them?

Word is they're not listed on the planogram reset template. Doesn't surprise me as they never carried the most recent class ii sets either. I guess they are cherry picking, though this seems like stupid one to pass up.

I hope it varies by store, as with the McFarlane sports picks figs, but I'm not counting on it.

The thing that's hard to predict is how robustly target will restock these. That 1 case per store model seems a little conservative. Our TRU has yet to stock these even.

Sounds like Walmart will not be carrying these?

I guess I better pick up R2 next time I see him. Distribution could be pain with these, I am worrying now.

Just wanted to post that I picked this up at 5 Below today for $4. Four freakin bucks. That's an INSANELY good deal. This thing is dense, full of cool concept art, etc. I highly recommend it at that price. Excellent read!

Definitely some variances in quality, I returned my X-Wing Luke for a better copy because he had jacked up legs. There was an ugly gap between them and the torso that I confirmed was not on other figures.

Still content to wait on R2 for the time being I think.

Yeah, these disappeared quickly on clearance. Was hoping a few would linger and get down to less than $5, but that seems unlikely. I'll miss seeing those guys on the pegs, well, not Mace or Anakin.

Saw the recent comic wave figures at TRU this morning for the first time. They are a dollar more than Gamestop so no thanks. They did not have the Gov/Penny 2-pack either.
