The Vintage Collection / Re: TVC Tantive IV Hallway Playset

I am so excited for this, it has been a long time coming, and they get a great-for-them 85% for execution.* I am definitely in for 2!

*...One side of one of the doorways should have had "blasted through" deco. And they could have at least painted the back side of the backdrop itself black to hide the inverted embossing between the archway pieces if we are meant to use the back too...

I was ready to buy, until I saw that he has the nerve to charge $6.50 for the shipping. Gotta give free shipping if you're gonna make the sale.  ;D ;D ;D

Other Toy Lines / Re: Modern Masters of the Universe

I am sorely tempted by what I have seen of this line so far. I was very much into the 80s line as a kid, starting with Trap Jaw and quickly falling down the rabbit hole. I had most of the 2002 line, but skipped the Classics and the Super7 lines. I am not in stores anywhere near what I used to be able to do, and I'm not excited enough to hunt them online, but when/if I see them in person I may not be able to resist collecting these, or at least my favorites...

Ben: your pic is very enticing, thanks for that!

They should have done the Palitoy Death Star with Tarkin right out of the gate instead of the boardgame--it would've been nearly the same materials, and made a lot of collectors happy!

Caught the Power Droid wave at my local Target once they did the reset this week. I must have been lucky because all 8 figures from the case were on the peg. I picked up the Gonk and Stormie Luke. When I had to stop in again the next day I was shocked to see everything was gone, and the TVC peg had Mission Fleet figures hanging on it instead.

I'm glad I was able to find the Power Droid, and I still believe it should have been 2 per case. Hopefully they will do full cases for etailers.

Star Wars Dioramas and Displays / Re: Cardboard Galaxy

It's been a while since I harassed you guys about my stuff, but I finally completed a project I have been working on on-and-off for a couple years: a Darth Vader's Castle Playset!



It stands 44" tall and in addition to having a fully-detailed facade it contains 5 interior locales including the area where Vader meets with Krennic, a hangar bay for his TIE Fighter, a control room, and a room that could be his bacta chamber if there were such a Hasbro toy (I am going to pose it as a Lightsaber Dueling Room instead.)

I know it's no HasLab project, but it was a fun project to figure out and engineer out of cardboard, and a grueling bit of drawing to get everything I wanted in there. I am so excited to see it in person after so long...it is quite an imposing piece up close. I plan to take lots of close-up pictures of all the little areas in it sometime soon.

Thanks for looking!

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: Hasbro Pulse Exclusive Black Series "Heroes of Endor" 4-Pack

Where is Han’s coat?!?

With Leia's poncho, apparently!  :P

Seriously, Han did have plenty of scenes without the duster, but I can't recall any time Leia wore the helmet but no poncho. Poncho with or without the helmet? Yes. No poncho or helmet? Check.

But never helmet with no poncho.

6 feet?  You're pushing into USS Flagg territory with numbers like that.  Who the hell has space for that?!

The same people who have space for a 4 foot Barge, I guess...ie not me. You'll notice I would rather have a Retro version, myself.

I would like to see what efforts on a 4-6 foot long Blockade Runner toy would ultimately look like. I don't know if it would sway me to make a purchase--I'm just not that much of a vehicle collector at the end of the day.

I would also love to see Hasbro take the leap and do a "Retro" version of the never-completed ROTJ/POTF Blockade Runner, though I understand I am in the minority on that count. That is something I can see myself getting.

My "dream" reveal for HasLab would be a 3 3/4"-scaled version of the Micro Collection "Death Star World" with modern detailing...bonus if it included the cancelled Emperor's Throne Room section. There would be nothing that would stop me from backing that.

If I remember correctly, a "1:1" scale Blockade Runner would be 32 feet long, or as long as the Darth Hauler's trailer.  :-*

No matter what the TVC project is, it will not have this kind of showing out of the gate. The recent "saveTVC" petition online garnered 8k signatures total, and that wasn't a purchase, just a signature.

The Barge also brought 8k sales. I think we can see where our ceiling lies. Marvel Legends is showing their active fanbase runs much deeper.

Hopefully HasLab has made their plans based on the data that is out there. It's not going to be this easy for the TVC campaign...because if there is one more piece of data readily available, it's that there is absolutely no consensus as to what big item we want next.

God forbid Hasbro put out some NEW original trilogy figures.

What? They threw you a bone with their hastily-cobbled-together digital art of a forthcoming kitbashed Bespin Escape Leia figure that they would absolutely swear to you was not finalized over the weekend!

So ungrateful!!   ;D

All of that being said, I'm curious to see what Muftak cooks up for Cardboard Galaxy to accentuate the scene!

Me too! ???

That thing gets huge with both staircases attached (and I am in the camp that would display it with only one staircase if that is an option...that was how they built the movie set, though they implied with reverse angles that both staircases were there.)

I would almost want a wrap-around backdrop, and something to cover the peg-legs so the main platform looks like a solid unit. But they might've made it too big for me to do anything cost-effective to help it out!

When this auction popped up I thought of you guys.

It breaks down to only $278 a figure (plus shipping and tax!)

That's funny...I was looking around eBay too and found the Legacy Solo twins loose going for close to a hundred bucks apiece. Made me think about selling mine...
