I wonder how much the price is affected by the carded figure.

I would love an update to the ROTS wookiees to be honest.

1. Bespin guards
2. Mon Cal crewmen (Ackbar's crew)
3. Death Star Troopers
4. Endor rebel troopers (but these have to have better hip articulation, since the current TVC ones can't squat without looking like they're holding in a piss)
5. Sandtroopers (on the new ANH Stormtrooper body)
6. Mon Cal crewmen (Raddus' crew, and man...we need a Raddus)
7. Stormtroopers (new ANH body)
8. Imperial Army Trooper (from Solo, Andor)
9. Purge trooper (on the new Clone body)
10. Clones (on the new clone body, white or 501st, but no unique officers)

Ah ok. I only go there when I'm feeling masochistic.

Hmm...it smells a little fishy to me. Where did Jayson say this? I don't see anything on his IG or Yakface.com. I saw the Bantha thing, but not the Ghost rumor.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2023 TVC Wave 5? (New TVC Wave 31)
« on: March 27, 2023, 09:27 AM »Squad building is a far more reasonable approach these days. When I was looking through some boxes of figures from the 2006 Saga Collection I saw those price tags - $6.99 each. It made getting 20 of those 212th Clone Troopers a lot more feasible than now. When TVC launched in 2010 around $10.99 per figure you felt a bit more of a pinch, but it was still feasible. But now, spending $14.99 or $16.99 per figure? It's getting crazy. And I think things are hitting a breaking point.
Case in point - the VC231 Stormtrooper. That figure should have sold SO MANY units. But I think that Hasbro might have felt more comfortable with it as a Walmart exclusive on account of the price hikes. People bought the VC140 Stormtrooper by the case for some time. But I think we're seeing those kinds of purchases tailing off because it's simply too expensive for collectors to keep doing that.
I agree. I have to agree though, I do get tempted to get one more case of stormies whenever I'm feeling flush with cash.

We'll see a **** ton of retro collection and black series figures, and maybe one TVC repack.

Yeah, the Naboo connection was interesting. I wonder what's up there?

Awesome Muftak! I just ordered one as well!
I don't suppose you'll ever have a view outside the window of the Nevarro Cantina, with Gideon and a bunch of Stormtroopers standing around threatening?

I saw a few articles mention that this is tentatively slated for autumn, so it doesn't conflict with Disney's Haunted Mansion. So I'm wondering...who gives a **** about Haunted Mansion?

Yeah, I was pretty pleased with this. I wish they could have at least thrown in a cardboard background for the corridor, but I'll probably create something soon. I need to do some scene work with this one, which probably means a paper mache hill with vegetation and leaves for the Ewoks to stand along the top. Of course, I also need a shelf for it, so it'll be a little while.

I've always been a bit undecided with KOTOR. I absolutely loved the games and the character designs, but in order to truly do it, they'd need to produce far more figures than Hasbro ever will, otherwise we have a Sequel Trilogy scenario where there's a handful of characters that don't really interact. I feel like I'd rather see them do it right or not bother.

Does and posts about those legs.
Has anyone seen comparison pictures of the Chewbacca and past versions with this sculpt? If the paint is new I’ll open it regardless.
Bossk's Bounty did a review you can see it here.
The Chewbacca is nice. I'll let you know when mine arrives if I have to fix the legs. I made a video of Jesse's tutorial on how to fix them and it's here.
Thanks so much for creating that video! I have a few AT-ST's from when the Black Series 3.75" ones were being clearance out. I need to do this fix on them.
