I got my Assault Tank today as well (ordered from EE).  This thing is practically a model!  I’ve collected the 21st Century Toys and BBI 1/18 scale armored vehicles for years and those were basically highly detailed preassembled models with a level of detail that far outstripped most Star Wars toys... The Assault Tank is the exception 

The vehicle is loaded with working features and (thankfully) sidesteps any gimmicky features like firing missiles, sound effects, etc.  Basically the functional aspects are as follows:

Working treads
Rotating main cannons
Swiveling secondary guns
Removable deck plates for cargo bed
Foot pegs for figures to stand in cargo bed
Two solid kyber crystal transport containers
One container that opens & has two crystal cylinders that open to reveal kyber crystals
Opening drivers hatch
Opening engine cover with detailed engine
Opening commander’s hatch
Removable front cover to access interior
Interior features seats, steering controls (driver’s controls move) tons of switches, circuitry, etc.  Even the backside of the removable front panel is detailed with cooling fans and circuitry

I’ve got mine crewed with some of the Black Series Scarif Trooper figures at least until I can find some of the new Assault Tank Driver figures in the next TVC figure wave...  Overall I am very pleased with the Imperial Assault Tank and hope we get more Vintage series vehicles in time.

I’ve been out of the Star Wars collecting game for a little while, but recently picked up the new Han, Lando, Tarkin, Range Trooper, Death Star Trooper, and have a Dewback arriving soon.  Fantastic figures all around!

I picked up Captain Rex and Jaiana Solo along with an Imperial Royal Guard yesterday.  They were at a small retailer that specialized in sci-fi collectibles which happened to be in a shopping mall I had stopped at to get my phone repaired while on a road trip.  Rex is one of my favorite figures to date and it’s awesome to see the character get realistic treatment.

Not sure I need to get another one of these, lol.  Mine is temporarily stored in my garage as I needed to clear some space on my office floor after it sat there for over a year and a half.  It’s funny as I’ve had some neighbors passing by comment about how cool it looks...  That said, I think Hasbro may have been pushing the envelope with the 6” scale FO TIE Fighter given its sheer size.  Notice for TLJ we got a couple significantly smaller vehicles and not a 6” scale X-Wing or A-Wing to go with the TIE.  but I think the thing that bugs me the most about it that the wings cannot be easily detached from the cockpit pod, making the ship very difficult to disassemble and return to its box.

I just got back from the first showing and am still trying to process it all.  It was an amazing film and a worthy sequel, IMHO.  Like another member said, it felt different from the other Star Wars films, which I am GI e with.  I did not want to see it be a straight up rehash of ESB - and while there were many parallels - it was not the same film in different clothing.

So what did I like? The space battles, the bombers and A-Wings in terms of the ships.  I enjoyed the Finn/Rose paring, Poe squaring off with Holdo, the Rey/Kylo interactions, Rey/Luke interactions, and the fact that Luke was a grouchy old mess.  Yoda’s ghost was the biggest surprise for me...  Yeah he was goofy, but he was in ESB as well and the TLJ Yoda felt more like the OT version than what we say in the Prequels...  Luke’s spiritual fight at the end was great.

That said, what did I not like?  I felt the Canto Bight scene was not entirely necessary.  The visuals were neat, just it seemed out of place.  The Porgs and those peasant reptiles on Ach-To were forced as well.  Glad Chewbacca cooked up a Porg, though!  I was also really surprised they killed off Snoke so soon...  For such a mysterious and powerful being, he met his end too quickly.  Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious was a FAR better character.  I also wasn’t too thrilled with how Leia got blow out into space, but somehow survived for however long and then used the Force to spirit herself back onto the ship...  Just seemed a bit too much to me and she should have died right then and there!  And Admiral Ackbar died!!  I also wasn’t too thrilled with Benicio del Toro’s character, it felt under used, but I could see him showing up in the next film in some fashion...

But all that said, I did enjoy the movie and want to see it again.

I got the Revell A-Wing and TIE Silencer a few days ago.  The A-Wing is fantastic and with some simple weathering and detailing can be made to look really good!  Here are some pics of the unmodified TIE Silencer kit:







And here are some pics of my modified A-Wing with painted figure, weathering, and other detailing: 

I decided to pick up a Force Link device as, if anything, I wanted to see my TIE Silencer ship light up.  It took a few minutes to get used to how it works, but the device is rather fun!  You have to hold it close to the figure and it will first make a beeping sound followed by the figure's dialogue or a ship's sound effects.  All the action figures seem to have 1-2 lines of dialogue and one can make somewhat funny conversations between the figures.  The Force Link Device can work through the package on a figure, so one doesn't need to open a figure to hear its dialogue.  I think I prefer my lights and sounds on a ship to be independent from a remote system, though it is rather neat for the figures and adds a unique element to them.

I picked up the Rebels Season 3 on DVD a couple days ago and am just about finished with the season (it's amazing how short these episodes really are w/o 10 minutes of commercial interruptions!) To date, I had hardly watched Season 3 on account of a busier weekend schedule plus the fact I really can't stand the Disney Channel.  Overall, Season 3 strikes me as one of the best seasons of Rebels yet.  I enjoyed the Rogue One and ANH tie-ins and Admiral Thrawn was awesome.  The Obiwan/Darth Maul showdown was perfect.  In some ways having Ezra track Kenobi down seemed a little shoe-horned into the wider Rebels story, but it was good to see a classic character and I loved the way they ended that particular episode with Kenobi watching over Luke...  Now to await Season 4!
