The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Sales and Discounts
« on: December 16, 2024, 03:16 PM »
Amazon has some recent 6” figures on sale today for some good discounts…I just picked up Dedra and Aksoka and K2-so for about $50 total. I also saw a few Acolyte figures for around $15-16 like Sol and the twins. (I’m holding out for Ollie’s on those I think)

Saw the former Walmart exclusive Holocomm Ahsoka figure at ROSS today for $9.99. Have seen Axe Woves there recently  too for the same price. Hoping to see the Mando someday as that is the only one from the first wave that I never got.  :(

They also had some Archive figures like Dengar and the Emperor for $5.99 each except for the Tusken Raider which was $12.99 for some reason.  :(

 I like the ship too. The interior seems mysterious. It feels like there is more to be discovered there.

Future HasLab maybe?  :D

I liked the third one, my friend was telling me the Dad is in a band he likes IRL but it didn’t register with me.

I keep wondering why they can’t just pull up their previous jump points from the hyperdrive computer. Shouldn’t they be able to figure out their starting point just from the log data?

Vintage Kenner / Re: Latest vintage acquisition

I just picked up a nice Hollow Cheek Tusken Raider for a decent price. Like Rob, it’s only a small handful of figures I still need now: Orange Hair Luke, 2 of the 3 double-telescoping figures (not Luke) and a nice rocket firing Fett  :D

When I first started finishing off my vintage collection you could get a nice orange hair Luke for a few hundred bucks, but that price has shot way up. May be a long shot for me now.

My label has been created too!  :D

Thinking I may need to do the redirect thing like Jeff was talking about…

I’ve currently got 10 different shelves allocated for vintage SW stuff, but they are not super deep, so unsure if it will fit in there safely. My back up plan is the coffee table in my man cave, but I would have to clear a lot of stuff first to make room there.

Hanging it in some way would be ideal but seems like it willl be pretty heavy.

Oh hell yeah! This is what they should have been doing all along, filling gaps in the original 92. Count me in for at least two of these… :D

I was finally able to watch these last night and mostly agree with what everyone else has said. Not bad, episode 1 didn’t feel very Star Warsy but the second one sure did.

I liked Space Werewolf, but didn’t find the other characters particularly appealing outside of Joe Na and KB. I wish Wim was smarter and braver and Elephant boy wasn’t such a whiner, and Fern is just a bossy jerk. (I know they will grow and change throughout the show) And what a tool Wim’s Dad was. What kind of jackwagon is too busy to read a bedtime story to their kid? Geez, dude.

I am curious to see where it goes and feel like it is a good space for them not to mess with any of the other continuity that is out there. (Please don’t have ex-Jedi throwing people out of airlocks though, that is just not believable)

The one we really need is the one with Mon Mothma, that thing sold out way too fast and they did not make nearly enough.  >:(

Thanks for the tip, I went by the closest store to me at lunch and picked up an R2-D2 Hologram projector for $6 but no Bad Batch sets to be found (yet). Will hit a couple more tomorrow, fingers crossed. 🤞

Keep the ROSS updates coming, boys.  :)

I loaded up on Pacific Rim figures yesterday too, but have yet to see the Bad Batch set. Will check the store across town today at lunch though, fingers crossed.

I sat down to watch this last night and realized we don’t have D+ anymore.  :-[

I thought i still had access through Hulu or something but apparently not.

Hopefully they will run some kind of free trial or holiday promotion where I can catch up on these.

I'm starting to worry about the timing on this... I hope it doesn't arrive right when everyone is traveling for the holidays.

My Grandmother passed away on Thanksgiving.  Her memorial service is scheduled for 13 December and I'm travelling up to NY for it.

That's the day it will arrive.

Sorry to hear that brother. Stuff like that is always harder around the holidays somehow.

I stopped by an out of town GameStop over the holiday break and it was wild. It looked like those juicy photos I always see on social media of well stocked stores with tons of new stuff. They had all the Skeleton Crew 6”, and pretty much the whole wave of most recent TVC figures. I picked up the new Thrawn and Peridea Ahsoka.

None of the stores around me ever look like that 🙄

So the Order 66 multipack continues to be full price, was no change for Black Friday and it seems unlikely there will be one for Cyber Monday either. The waiting game continues…
