Canceled my individual orders and ordered the case from EE. Makes life much easier.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Figure Ideas from The Mandalorian
« on: December 19, 2019, 01:35 PM »This show desperately needs it's own dedicated toyline. It's a hit with fans and casuals alike.
I agree. So much great stuff. And the TIE fighter? Wow!

$66 on Amazon right now: Star Wars AT-ST Raider - The Mandalorian 3.75 scale - Vintage Collection
(only four left in-stock as of this post)
Interesting. Was at BB the other day and they were out, which I can only imagine is a great thing. Been waiting to pick up an opener, would be ironic if this sold out.

« on: December 15, 2019, 10:54 AM »If we were still back in the Legacy days, that last episode probably would have gotten us a couple of 4 figure battle packs. How about..
Set 1
Mandolorian, Mayfeld, Quin, Republic Prison Droid
Set 2
Xi'an, Zero, Burg, Republic Prison Droid (battle damaged)
Seriously.
Great episode. I could do with every character from it.

I looked here in LA. No luck. Found Solo figures for $3.25 though. Stocked up on Han Mudtroopers for some customization.

Lol! I don't by any stretch. I made room on my piano.

In spite of the fantastic sales, I still feel satisfied to grab the three I own at full price. That's how solid this is.

From last night...
Skip if this could spoil it for anyone...
The Assassin would be great. Wasn't a fan of the kid, but the speeder bikes were cool. Would be nice if we could get an upgraded EV-9D9 due to the appearance of the EV droid.

« on: December 3, 2019, 12:22 PM »That’s “the barge effect” in action haha.
I’d take some more raiders too. Not sure if they were all Klatooinian too so I’d be ok with sort of generic raider pirate guys. This is a toy ripe series not too dissimilar to Clone Wars
I agree, but at today's toy prices, it feels like there would be a sustainability limit in terms of character selection. I was think about that during the shoot out during the first episode. We're still trying to get Hasbro to finish off every character onscreen during the OT. Imagine trying to fit out that shoot out scene with IG-11 alone!
I'm also hoping, really hard, that the speeder bike sees a re-release. I need a few more and the after market price for the TRU exclusive sculpt is ridiculous.

I hope Hasbro is reading this and puts the Hovertank Pilot back into rotation. In the meantime, I have 8 Tank Commanders, so I'm just going to pair them with my 8 pilots in the interim.

The Mandalorian is certainly opening itself up to great figure possibilities. I would hope that, aside from the Mondo himself, that we could get one core character from each Episode.
E1 - I would absolutely love an uber articulated IG-11. Such a fun character.
E2 - Kuiil (Nick Nolte's Ugnaught) is a must!
E3 - Good excuse for Greef Karga? (I've done a job with Carl Weathers earlier this year. Super genuine, down to Earth dude.)
E4 - We already got Clara Dune
Moff Gideon should be the stand out for his episode.
The Mando Heavy gunner should just be reproduced in 3.75 regardless.
Really digging the show over-all.

Sincerely. I have as many HoverTank pilots as I have tanks.

« on: November 16, 2019, 12:39 PM »
It's interesting to look back at this and some of the figures I cited for reissues were on the mark. Plus it looks like Hasbro upped the ante with some of these:
TVC 09 - Boba Fett - Now with improved facial printing
TVC 41 - Imperial Stormtrooper - IMPROVED with the Rogue One Stormtrooper sculpt
TVC 50 - Han Solo (Bespin) - On the way with improved facial printing
TVC 93 - Darth Vader - Done with the earlier removable helmet release and improved facial printing
VTSC Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues) - The TVC version is on the way with improved facial printing
The new facial printing tech is definitely a game changer for some of these figures. I can't wait to see the improvements.
Wait. Is this a thing? As in, we're getting another re-release of VC 09 Boba and VC 41 Stormtrooper?
