TV-9D9 / Re: Bad Batch (Disney+)
« on: January 22, 2023, 11:03 PM »
I watched the first episode a couple weeks ago and groaned several times about how cringy it was. 

Two good guys with backs to the door holding crate when Stormtroopers open the door, yet the good guys were able to somehow spin around, take cover and stun the Stormtroopers... Stormtrooper reaction times cannot be that bad...

But I get it.  It's a cartoon aimed at kids.  I just feel like that scene in particular insults everyone's intelligence.

TV-9D9 / Re: The Mandalorian - Season 3 (SPOILERS possible)

I am worried that Hasbro saw that first part of the trailer and started planning Mando repaints galore for 2024 already.....

Darth Patrick has those wheels spinning already.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Sales and Discounts

I have yet to get them but it’s probably General Lando.

But since I’ve stop collecting these maybe I’ll get lucky?

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Sales and Discounts
« on: January 19, 2023, 09:04 AM »
EE has a deal for a free (random) Black Series figure and free shipping if you purchase $69 worth of merchandise (before shipping and tax).  Promo code is: 2103222

I've used it twice now.  I don't really collect 6" anymore, but free is free and if I already have the figure, I can give it away.

275
Yes, what you have listed above is the plan.  As for the final slot, perhaps a Tournament of Champions like Scott used to do?

276
I just checked my order and it says it's on its way, too.  I did not get any notification about it, so thanks for the heads up.

The Vintage Collection / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?
« on: January 13, 2023, 02:15 PM »
I've been thinking about the future of Star Wars collecting lately in general.  Most of us on here are 40+ (there might be some 30yo fans here) and I just wonder about the next generation and if there will even be a future the movies.  I remember being excited and passionate about Star Wars growing up in the 70s/80s, but I really don't hear about kids being that passionate as I was.  I have two children (14 and 12).  The 14-year-old saw Star Wars at a similar age as I and she saw the sequels in the theater.  She enjoyed the Lucas Six but was indifferent about the Disney ones.  She hates Solo because the villain shares her name, albeit different spelling).  She hasn't watched any of the Disney series, either, and my son simply isn't interested in Star Wars at all. 

How about you and your children?  Is it the same or do any of them share your passion?

I ended up with 2 of these (don't need the second) and haven't opened 1.

This was hard.  I originally had 0 Book of Boba Fett characters on the list, but I guess I'm cheating since the characters are from Return of the Jedi.

The Mandalorian
01. Cobb Vanth
02. Greef Karga (Season 1)
03. HK-87 Assassin Droid
04. Lang
05. Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth
06. Migs Mayfeld (Season 1)
07. Peli Motto
08. Q9-0
09. The Client

The Book of Boba Fett
10. 8D8
11. EV-9D9

Obi-Wan Kenobi
12. Darth Vader (Bacta Tank)
13. Fifth Brother
14. Grand Inquisitor
15. Tala Durith

Andor
16. Bix Caleen
17. Dedra Meero
18. Imperial Riot Trooper
19. Luthen Rael (Ferrix)
20. Mon Mothma

It is crazy just how much MORE new product there was back in those days, and how much variety there was. I miss the days when it felt like the Hasbro team running the line was really passionate about it. It's sad to see how much less traction the 3.75" line & even the Star Wars brand as a whole has at retail these days. It unfortunate that that is very unlikely to change any time soon.

I can't see how it will get better.  Most of us are in our 40s now and I'm not sure how many Star Wars fans there are in the younger generations.  None of the kids I know are passionate about Star Wars like we are/were.  Not sure about anyone else's children though.  This topic probably could be its own thread.

I totally get it!  I mean, it wasn't like a "Sophie's Choice" level of decision making, but it was challenging!

This is indeed tough to narrow down to 20.

282
This was painful, but here are my 20...

Book of Boba Fett
10. Cad Bane

Bane's already in the pipeline.  ;)

07: Finn (Pasaana) (The Rise of Skywalker)
08: Sith Sovereign Protector (The Rise of Skywalker)
09: Lando (Battle of Exegol) (The Rise of Skywalker)

Other Toy Lines / Re: 2022: What Are You Collecting?
« on: January 3, 2023, 10:44 AM »
I think I'm in the same boat as Jeff. 

I will pick up new TVC but I think I'm done with all the clone repaints.  I was never a fan of all of the individualized clone personalities so I could do without those.  Same with Gaming Greats figures.  I never played any of the games, so the figures don't resonate with me. 

I've stopped picking up Black Series.  I believe I only have Aayla Secura left on my preorder lists and then that's it.  Between space issues and price points, I just can't do it any more.  Granted, if there is a figure that interests me, I might pick it up, but it would have to be from the OT.

I have been picking up the NECA Universal Monsters line... at least with that line I know what I'll pick up.
