Sorry can't help myself. I see what you're saying, but how many of these things is Hasbro making? And are unscrupulous ebay sellers really going to be buying these in bulk and flooding the market with remake Leia blasters? I just think some of us are exagerating a bit here.

Well, the pre-orders at Target.com are already pre-sold out, so there's definite interest.

Or they went with the oldest trick in the book and made the number available for preorder small to create the illusion of more interest than there otherwise would be, which then generates interest.

Only reason I want em……...

Fair enough. Couldn't disagree more.

Wowsers! This is the first I've heard of this. Mine has been on display in a cabinet. Afraid to pick it up to look.

Funny you say that. Mine was fine when I opened it. But he's on his dais and hasn't been touched in two years. I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. I'm scared to pick him up and see if he's permanently affixed to it

Didn't say it was apples to apples (believe somewhat similar would be they're both fruit), but it still goes to the "my toys will suffer" and "therefore I don't want others to have this opportunity for the sake of my toys" argument.

Which is fair by the way. Easy for me to say when the only "Star Wars" carded figure I have is an ok condition 21 Back Boba Fett. But calling them garbage and acting like it serves no one any purpose is a bit strong. And I still don't see a 12 back Luke plummeting in value over this. Maybe eBay will prove you right.

I can disagree but respect Nick and Darby's opinions on these. But they're not garbage because they don't fit your wants for toy collecting. Just like they're not awesome because they do fit mine. I've gotten into my Yakface disqus section mode. I need to shut up

And lastly, I get I set a low bar, but why do we always set out expectations so high and then complain when we don't have them met? I thought for sure this is what we were getting. Maybe slightly different sculpts. What has Hasbro shown us that made Hem Dazon, Tarkin, Wedge, etc. an expectation and not wishful thinking

Ok I'll stop being an ass

I hate them.  They’re almost identical to real vintage.  What’s the point?!

I don't have thousands of dollars is the point

Also stolen from Yakface front page, these have hit Target in Oregon
