I think the Derlin problem was little articulation and one accessory that killed him. With a troop builder, Hasbro needs to wise up and add articulation for maximum poseability and extra accessories don't hurt ether. I hope they use the knowledge of Derlin and remedy the problems in a Echo Base Trooper.

I hope for an EU character more, but it looks like it will be Yarna or Willrow winning. Just my guess.

Fritz,
Looks good. Where did the turret come from? Funny thing is that I was thinking of using the Tumbler for a custom also. I was thinking a little more radical in design, but what you have looks perfect too. I hope you don't mind if I barrow some of your designs.

That is odd, because I haven't seen a Derlin in about three or so months and about twice as long for a Veers. The biggest pegwarmer in my area is Dofine with about 2 1/2 pegs of nothing but him. The other one is about half that with one peg of holo Mundi. If I were to take a guess at numbers I would say that about 35 Dofine and about 15 holo Mundi in every store I go into. The other figure come and go with them waiting for clearance and I wonder how much they will be cut until they move? I might get a few Dofine for fodder when the do.

That's the day I quit collecting. 

So, if Hasbro were to offer a wave that consisted of this in the vintage style format, you'd quit this entire hobby that you spend so much toy runs/money/internet time on?

- VSTC ROTS Final Duel Darth Sidious
- VSTC ROTS Commander Cody (done right!)
- VSTC Qui Gon Jinn
- VSTC Mace Windu

 

I've been looking for a good excuse.

I agree. I would go back and focus my time on my vintage collection. I have already made big compromises in the way I collect do to the lack of figures they should have given us to begin with, so I could bail out with no questions asked.

Think we'll get any VOTC/VSTC that never had a vintage figure made?

God, I hope not.

As others have said, not only would it go against the entire point of the retro-vintage line to begin with, but it would also free up Hasbro to put all their best work into the $10+ figures, which would make it a little easier for them to skimp on their basic line stuff.

"George Lucas in Stormtrooper Disguise" is retarded enough as it is; please, let's not piss on the memory of the vintage line any more than we already have.

Agree with that, enough said .

Well, maybe introduce maybe a "POTC" line- Premium Original Trilogy Collection to include OT figs that didn't have a vintage release, but are in desperate need of an ultimate version of the character.

Don't give them any ideas, unless you like paying $10+ for figures that should have been the in basic line .

Like the GI Joe mortar shells on the belt. Color look cool too.

I like the concept Luke. I wonder how different Star Wars would be if Luke was a heroine. The Wookiee is awesome too. I would like to know what parts he use for them?
