and you expect differently? this is just another great way for hasblow to "help" the collectors who missed out on these things a few years back. when are they going to realize that 75% of their collectors/fan base for this stuff have been with the line long enough to already own these? the shelves at the tru's near me are clogged with these new 4 packs, since nobody seems to care. and now they are just going to keep pumping out more. way to go, hasblow!!!

Post by: Scott on April 21, 2004, 09:26 AM: They did a decent job in the first two packs of doing some kitbashing to bring us at least some half way decent new figs...the AT-ST Pilot, the Imperial R4, the Hoth R3 and Hoth Chewie. The last couple of ones have been crap. Hopefully they revert to the halfway decent ones

Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Brian on April 21, 2004, 09:30 AM: I'm hoping they go halfway decent with this one as well, especially if it means getting a somewhat decent Endor Han. I have the POTF2 one, so if that is all this set includes, I doubt I pick it up. If they try some sort of kitbashing, maybe using that new AT-ST Han head with another body, w/trenchcoat, then I'm probably in. I missed out on the POTF2 Logray, and I'd always like to add another Ewok to the display. I have the Wicket, so he could always get repainted...or donated to one of our nephews. Hopefully it is the POTJ (Clean) Biker Scout, you can always use another one of those. Overall, I agree, I hope they go back to the earlier quality of these sets. If they are able to get a little creative with some kitbashing at least, it might turn out ok.
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: jadesfire on April 21, 2004, 09:33 AM: I actually think they might change around one of the figures (like they did with Han for the Carkoon Pit pack) but since I could use some more Ewoks and a speeder bike, it will be one less you see on the shelf.
Sure, it would be great to see new sculpts but I think they are doing that with the OTC waves and these four packs are exactly what you stated jokabofe, repacks of old figures, but this time it works for me.
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: CHEWIE on April 21, 2004, 10:32 AM: I think this set sounds promising, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I would like to see them do something like this for this wave:

Han - somehow use an exisitng Han torso/legs maybe the POTJ Bespin Han and add the Dodonna trenchcoat/arm to him with new hands

Endor Soldier - SAGA version with a 3rd head sculpt

Scout Trooper - clean POTJ version w/ articulated knees

Ewoks - repainted version of Wicket (he's being re-released again anyway) and the regular Logray

Also, I would like for this speederbike to be a non-break apart version.

:P
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Scott on April 21, 2004, 10:34 AM: I didn't think about that, but there definitely needs to be some sort of knee articulation on the trooper or the Speeder Bike is pretty much useless

Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Jesse James on April 21, 2004, 09:05 PM: I'm really at a loss for this set right now...

I mean, it could really be a great set, or it could suck the sweat from a dead man, as they say.

The Imp. Forces set was, to me, the pinnacle of Hasbro's efforts with these sets... And I can say I didn't even go ga-ga over that one, though it was decent for the price... 3 decent army builder-esque figures and a nice enough Vader for the kids (though you toss in a grey Imp. Officer or a Motti with Imp. Officer head and I'd have been all over multiples of that set!).

With this set, this is what I'd LIKE to see, and cntrastly what I think we'll get...

What I'd LIKE:
-Han... A NICE softgoods coat... Something new, very Vintage-esque with a better deco on it... Loose fabric like Total Control Mace's robe, and I'd be content.

Underneath the coat, the figure's a modified torso of Cantina Han, and his legs, and perhaps some unique arms? Include the more accurate Han Blaster from Saga figures and AT-ST han head (or I'd take Bespin Capture's head) and that'd be a GREAT figure to me. Worthy of being single-carded even.

What We'll GET:
-Saga Han Endor with softgoods coat from Accessory set

What I'd LIKE:
-2 unique Ewoks using the Teebo sculpt with a tan and brown paintjob (respectively), and reusing the Wicket hood cast in 2 unique colors. Include spears, or a vintage bow/arrow would be so sweet for one of them at least. :(

What We'll GET:
-Wicket and Logray... We already seem to know this. Too bad since I think kids could give a rat's ass which Ewok they get, just so they get AN Ewok. Dumb Hasbro.

What I'd LIKE:
-Imperial Biker Scout... New lower torso and new poseable arms... A guy can dream, right? This would be enough articulation to make the guy Super Articulated, or damn close. At least give him ball/socket knees, elbows, and some wrist joints ya know? Oh well...

What We'll GET:
-POTJ repack... No changes. Ah well... Some are happy with this, but that figure blew bigtime to me. Tiny head, and craptacular "pose". I mean, at least make it neutral, ya know?

What I'd LIKE:
-Endor Soldier... Saga figure's torso/arms with retooled shooulders to have the shoulders of the vest be part of the arms (So the guy can move his damn arms!), and a new head... Attach the torso to the POTF2 lower body (lower torso and legs) for a neutral pose.

What We'll GET:
-Saga Soldier (knowing Hasbro, the bearded one) with no changes, or POTF2 one...

What I'd LIKE:
-All new, to-scale sculpt of the speederbike... No features, just an accurately SMALL bike a rider could actually sit on and his feet could connect to the pedals.

Either the all new bike or a NICE re-release of the catapult!

What We'll GET:
-POTF2 bike, no doubt... I could see the Saga bike (droopy nose one) get cast in brown though... Eh, it sucks too though except the handlebars.

What I'd LIKE:
-Ewok Bow & Arrow sets, some GOOD STURDY Rebel Rifles, a weird "vine" trap or thing for Ewoks to swing on you attach to the all, that REALLY nice Han Endor coat (Oh man, I can wish for that), a softgoods "shoulderbag" for the bombs from the Saga Han or accessory pack... Etc.

What We'll GET:
-Some POTF2 Endor Rifles probably... Some Rebel Backpacks with awkward plastic hooks molded on them that are somehow intended to fit on the figure's shoulder but have not the slightest chance in hell of ever doing so...

Call me jaded... The 4-packs have steadily declined in quality to me (starting with the Hoth set), and overall "value" to me as a consumer, and unless Hasbro really imrpesses me with another army-builder focused set that shows some real creativity on their part, I just will look at this set poorly. :(
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Brian on April 22, 2004, 09:31 AM: Nice post Jesse, and good points. The make or break for this set for me is really the Endor Han Solo. I've wanted a really nicely done version of this figure for a long time, and I wasn't exactly satisfied with the POTF2 one. It was pretty much my favorite vintage figure, and I'd like to see it done justice in the modern line. I really like your idea, I think they could cobble together a nice figure, then include a nicely decoed soft goods trenchcoat and I'd be happy. It would be really nice to get a well-articulated Biker Scout out of this too, but it most likely won't happen. I didn't think of it at first either, but really how much sense does it make to include a non-posable scout in a set with a bike (that he can't even sit on?). Hopefully Hasbro will surprise us and make this set closer to what it could be. It seems we're all understanding about them "modifying" older figures, just if they do it right.
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Ben on April 25, 2004, 07:13 PM: I don't know why Hasbro continues to crap out stuff like this, especially when this gives them the perfect opportunity to release the Eopie, which most of us US (and Canada too, right?) collectors never got.
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: DoctorPadawan on April 26, 2004, 03:12 PM: I'm with HMI on this one. These four packs could have been an excellent opportunity to release figures, beasts, or smaller accessories that were difficult to find, that had been cancelled, or "new" kitbashed figures that people might actually be interested in. Instead they've gone straight to hell in terms of quality and choice.

Since everyone else is doing it, here's what I would have liked to have seen from the four packs they released thus far, or at least what would have made me buy some of them:

IMPERIAL FORCES: I actually bought this one and thought it was a decent set. Two kitbashes that made sense (the AT-ST Driver and the Stormie), and two repaints that were nice as well (the R4 unit and Vader), with accessories that were acceptable (the cannon and the droids). This one was the best of the series, but sadly hasn't been even challenged for that spot thus far.

BOUNTY HUNTERS: this one is one that I saw no point in whatsoever. I mean, Bossk was being remade at the time, IG-88 and Aurra Sing weren't exactly difficult to find, and the Fett was the same one as the 300th (which granted, many people didn't see, but it Hasbro wanted to get both new and old collectors to buy this, they could have at least repainted him in the ROTJ color scheme). The bike was really cheesy looking IMO, and I thought this whole set was a complete wash.

HOTH: Leia sucked. She should have never been a part of this set in the first place. If it were me, she would have been replaced with a snowspeeder pilot Wedge (kitbashed from the Dack/Luke SS body and the Rebel Pilot CS head with removable helmet). The Tauntaun would have been Han's in all sets, and instead of Luke it would include the Han from the beast pack (making a toy that was impossible to find easier to get, at least in some form). The R3 unit was fine, as was the Chewbacca.

JEDI WARRIORS: this would not have even been made in its current form. It would have been a Geonosis Arena four pack that would include the Nikto Jedi kitbash; a kitbashed Obi-Wan using the Coruscant head, torso, and legs, along with the Episode I Jedi Duel arms; a repainted Clone Trooper (the red Saga version that was included in the Clone Wars value pack with the ARC Trooper); the Super Battle Droid from the Deluxe Yoda; and the Detention Force Field thing.

SKIRMISH AT CARKOON: would be renamed "Jabba's Palace" and would include Ephant Mon, a repainted C-3P0 (with the green gunk from when Jabba slaps him over), Oola, and a Barada repaint with the red pants, maybe slightly retooled to be able to hold a force pike. The accessory? Jabba's Dais.

ENDOR SET: would include the speeder bike and Paploo from the TRU AT-ST/Bike set from a few years back; a kitbashed Han Endor using the Bespin Capture head, torso, hips, and legs, straight arms from somewhere, and a soft goods coat along the lines of the Mace coat someone mentioned earlier; the clean version of the Biker Scout; a kitbashed Luke in Endor poncho (soft goods with removable helmet) using the Jabba's Palace Luke head, torso, hips, and legs, and retooled arms, with the Endor Rebel Solider (Saga)'s helmet; and another generic Ewok (Warok?) based on the sculpt from the Complete Galaxy Ewok from 1998.

And other sets I'd like to see, you ask? ;)

NABOO INVASION: would include OOM-9 (from the Trophy asst. that was never released); Naboo Swamp Obi-Wan (from the same assortment); Sio Bibble (who was very hard to find); Amidala with Ascension Gun (again, very hard to find); and a walking holograph projector with a Sidious holograph shrunk down to size.

TATOOINE: would include the Eopie with Qui-Gon; at least four of the Pit Droids from the foreign packs (with accessories); an actual Threepio from Episode II that is based on the POTF2 removable limbs mold (in other words, that actually looks metallic); and a kitbashed Darth Maul in Tatooine robes that isn't in some kind of action pose (possibly the Trophy edition head and cloak on the Jedi Duel body?)

BESPIN CAPTURE: would include the CD-ROM Vader that was never released; a kitbashed Bespin Security Guard (based on the POTJ version) of a different race (there were several, so whichever one works for you; I'd like one of the black ones myself); the non-action feature version of Bespin Luke from the CD-ROM sets; a kitbashed Bespin Capture Han (with just the white shirt, new arms, and no holster); a Carbonite Block based on the POTF2 version that is solid (e.g. not hollow without a back); and an Ugnaught.

REBEL FORCES: would include a kitbashed Biggs in X-Wing Pilot gear (the body is fine, but it would have a new head with removable helmet); a newly sculpted Ceremonial Luke (yes, I know this doesn't go along with the rehashing they do in these packs, but I'd love to see a new one done and I think this might be the only way); Red Leader's astromech droid (using the excellent recent R* bodies); and a "mystery" X-Wing pilot figure (that is, of course, Jorg Sacul rereleased so those of us who couldn't afford plane fare or a trip to Indianapolis can finally get one for our collections and the people who have carded versions will still be happy knowing they have something unique; everybody's happy). Maybe include one of those round console tables everyone is standing around during the attack as an accessory.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. As for what I think we'll wind up getting with the Endor pack that is coming out?

-Endor Han (from POTF2)
-Wicket and Logray (from POTF2)
-Endor Rebel Solider (from POTF2)
-Biker Scout and Speeder Bike (from POTF2)
...and of course, no modifications will be made. ::)

Post by: Ben on April 27, 2004, 02:35 AM: I was going to buy the Hoth 4-pack, but $20 is a lot of money for **** in a fancy box.

If anything, these sets have finally broken me of any completism virus I had left. For that, they are good.

Post by: Jedirhino on April 27, 2004, 06:46 AM: Do some of you work at Hasbro or something...forget that statement...I think that all of us KNOW Hasbro well enough to expect exactly what JesseJames is talking about...unfortunately I hope that it will not be true ???
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Angry Ewok on April 27, 2004, 05:11 PM: The Hoth pack was perfect for me, I liked every bit of it - although I wish the Leia was better.

The Imperial forces pack was nice - yet I didn't want ANOTHER Vader to add to my collection, and the AT-ST pilot didn't look so good.

The Bounty Hunter pack only had one thing I wanted - the 300th Fett... and so I didn't buy it.

The Jedi pack had nothing to offer.

The Skiff pack only offers multiples on Skiff'ers, when Hasbro could have kit bashed us some Skiff'ers we haven't yet gotten.

I hate to judge the Endor pack before I even see it - specially knowing I'll probably get it simply because of the ewoks - but I can't help but expect nothing but garbage. :'(
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: SilverZ on May 30, 2004, 02:58 AM: Judge away... pics are up over at GH.

Thanks for the 0% effort on this one, Hasbro. And Jesse thought we'd see a softgoods coat for Han at the very least. It's a complete POTF2-fest. Are they trying to sabotage their own sales this year? "Here, TRU, you can have this exclusive Endor set, which includes the ultra-popular Wicket figure along with that Endor Rebel with a beard that all your stores cleared out in '02. Don't forget to order lots of the OTC carded figures, by the way, there's more Wicket in there for ya, too, ya suckas!"

The packaging looks good in OTC style though.

How have we fallen so far from the Imperial set? >:(

Post by: Angry Ewok on May 30, 2004, 03:59 AM: Incredible - Hasbro made absolutely no effort to make any of these figures look different. I've got my share of POTF2... and I've had my share of this thread.

Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Jesse James on May 30, 2004, 04:34 AM: Yeah, how about that one...

I set my sites REALLY low on this set, I honestly did, and yet Hasbro still undercut me.

I suggest Saga Endor Han and they deliver POTF2 Endor Han...

I suggest POTJ Biker Scout, and they dish out POTF2 scout.

I mean... Wow Hasbro! You caused me to lose $5 tonight... I lost my bet that you AREN'T 100% retarded in your marketing department.

I mean, honestly... I gave them the benefit of the doubt and look what happens. >:( I'm usually the guy everyone thinks is TOO hard on them, and see what I get? Give 'em an inch and they take a mile.

I feel... oddly betrayed here.

Oh well, it's their toy line's funeral... I'm just here to remind them how nice things could've been. :D

Post by: Vator on May 30, 2004, 11:37 AM: Well in the packs defence, it does have some pice custom potential...two ewoks, a biker scout and another trooper, isn't that bad to me. I'll buy one or two just for the bike.

i totally agree. i wasn't expecting much from this set, but this even falls short of my expectations. i think the potf2 biker scout really seals the deal for me.

would it have too hard to sculpt a new head for the trooper? hell, even throwing the first trooper head on the saga body would have been better. not much, but a little.

Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Ben on May 31, 2004, 12:51 PM: This set could have been saved had they kitbashed the Saga Endor Han and included a coat, and repainted Wicket into Warok or Romba or whatever.

As it is, crap.
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Brian on June 1, 2004, 10:07 AM: I'm really disappointed with this set as well. I've only bought one of these TRU packs so far (Hoth), but was really hoping for this one. I would have been happy too (and would have bought this), if they would have just kitbashed a nice Endor Han together (AT-ST head, soft goods trench, etc.), but unfortunately (but not surprisingly) they just stuck the POTF2 one in there. I don't mind if there isn't "new" figures in these packs, but they could at least kitbash something nice and put a different Ewok in there. That would have helped a lot. If this is all the potential these TRU packs have, let's just put an end to them now.
Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: CHEWIE on June 1, 2004, 11:43 AM: OMG, the least they could do is kitbash the Han somehow, use the other Endor Trooper head, repaint the Ewoks to be different ones, etc.

No effort at all.

Post by: Jesse James on June 23, 2004, 09:05 PM: Anyway you slice this set, it's terrible. Things like this are why there's TONS of the PoC set and Jedi set sitting about at TRU's. They just do NOT sell and they appeal to a minimum audience.

I liked the kitbashes of the Empire set, and wish they'd continued on with that... This set would've been awesome with kitbashed figures, softgoods (nice ones) accessories, and a couple good army builders.

It wouldn't have really cost much more to make, and at $20 a pop you know they'd have recouped what little cost would've gone into the set and maybe (just maybe) actually sold these things well with the right items packed in.

As it stands, a sea of these will clog pegs, and they're not even useful at clearance prices anymore.

What a waste of space! They started out pretty nice with the Imp pack, but then Hasbro had to go and cheap out again. Way to run this idea into the ground, Hasbro! >:(

Title: Re: TRU Endor 4 Pack
Post by: Jesse James on September 14, 2004, 07:39 PM: I too now see a veritable "sea" of OTC boxes of these Endor sets. Horrible little buggers they are.

They are now the proverbial "Bionic-Toby" which has clogged the Toilet that is TRU. Terrible idea, seriously. Not an enticing piece in any way, shape, or form.

I'm just in awe of how terrible the 4-packs went downhill from Set #1, to #2, to #3 and so on... They have just decreased in quality. At least the Naboo set is of value to people, but really the others had such major potential, which we've all hashed over many times, but nonetheless the point stands that these things moved great with the right pack-in accessory or the right "army builder" focus to it.

I'd be all for a Cloud City set with a kitbashed ICMG, 2 variant Bespin Guards (The Carbon Freeze set pack-in guy with a new head and removable hat, and a POTJ with new head/ethnicity), and some Ugnaught repaints and a silver C-3PO for the foul-mouth protocol droid.

Pack in a new accessory or droid "junk" just made up of a white IG-88 and some randomly cast and "distressed" droid parts, and I'd be all for this. Or a cobbled together "light-up" Han Carbonite iwth clear hover-stand?

Hasbro gotta pick up a clue at the store some time because they're missing out on how to make this a profitable, inexpensive way to get exclusives out that SELL awesomely well.
