The Vintage Collection / Re: Figure Ideas from The Mandalorian
« on: December 2, 2019, 11:48 PM »
I want a couple more Klatoonian raiders to go with the AT-ST...  I’ve considered tracking down a Kithaba figure, but the going rate for those seems to be around $40 and more!

I’m stuck out of state far from any Best Buy’s so I just ordered this online. Looks like at least a two week wait...should have jumped on it sooner.

Same here.  Put in my order over the weekend and it was at least a couple weeks for home delivery...  But I’m not in a huge rush though.

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

I enjoyed episode 4 just as much as I have the previous three 8)
It certainly took inspiration from the plot line of the films Seven Samurai or The Magnificent Seven, save without the tragic end results for the main characters.  I thought the AT-ST seemed far more menacing than they did in ROTJ...  Guess that’s due to the glowing viewports/eye effect and that battle sequence taking place in the dark, adding an element of suspense.  Again, another solid episode and maybe an excuse to finally open my TVC AT-ST Raider  ;)

I echo the sentiments about the need for a Baby Yoda ;)

But I loved the fight with the Jawas on the sandcrawler in Friday’s episode and then the later scene where all the Jawas were chanting “The Egg!” as the crawler moved along - it was just hilarious in a good way!  And awesome that Baby Yoda demonstrated it has force powers 8)

TV-9D9 / Re: Star Wars Resistance

I know I’m late to the meeting, so to speak, but I finally watching some of the first season of Star Wars Resistance on Disney+.  It is definitely a kid-oriented show (much more so than Rebels or Clone Wars) but overall it’s not bad at all and I’m rather enjoying it :)

I picked this figure up earlier this week after coming across several at a local Target.  It’s an interesting variation on C3PO for sure, given that he’s armed and all.

I had signed up for Disney+ several weeks ago and had no issues logging into the site or accessing content like others initially reported.  I wound up streaming it via my laptop connected to my TV, though I may eventually try my TV’s web browser app (even though it tends to be slow).

In any event, I enjoyed the Mandalorian! While the first episode was a bit less “epic” than I was expecting, the show looked and felt like Star Wars and there was a ton of attention to detail that made it seem to fit right with the films and other media. I’m looking forward to seeing how the series progresses.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series TROS Wave 4
« on: November 5, 2019, 02:12 PM »
I like the themed nature of this wave as well and wish it would happen more often.  I’m more likely to buy a case of figures if I know I’m going to get all new items, not one or two new items and a bunch of repacks.

Just picked one up as well 8) It was kind of weird as I went to check both the closer and further BB stores in my area this morning and no AT-STs were to be had on the shelves.  I then looked it up online which showed the AT-ST was in stock at the closer store (though none were out earlier).  Nevertheless I ordered it online and it was ready for pickup in about 15 minutes.  So a little bit of a strange process to get one, but it all worked out...  If you haven’t gotten the AT-ST yet, the online ordering and store pickup option seems to be the way to get it :)

That new AT-ST looks good 8)
Does it seem to have harder or softer plastic than some of the earlier releases?  The last TVC version of the AT-ST used a soft plastic that tended to warp over time, making it difficult to keep the walker standing.  I’m hoping that’s not the case with this!

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars Episode IX (SPOILER-FREE)
« on: October 23, 2019, 11:35 AM »
I did something similar to you, Matt_Fury.  I originally wanted the very first showing around 6:15pm on Thursday, but had a scheduling conflict, so will go to a later one around 8:000pm on my own then with my family on Friday.  I’m definitely looking forward to this  8)

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (SPOILERS)
« on: October 22, 2019, 12:06 PM »
Well, the latest trailer certainly confirms a lot of the JediPaxis spoilers from Reddit...

I was thinking the same thing  ;)

I received mine last week on Friday, but Amazon didn’t pack it very well so when the shipping box got damaged during the shipping process, the Palpatine set box also go partly crushed as well.  I returned it and got a better example the other day.  It’s a really neat set and the figure looks fantastic  ;D

104
I stopped by a local Walmart last night to see what was left after Friday and they had the Jabba’s Palace set.  I didn’t get it as it’s not quite my cup of tea, but it was there at the store.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series TROS Wave 2
« on: October 8, 2019, 03:23 PM »
Ah, so the Jannah figure is #98, and has yet to be released...  I was wondering if I was missing a figure after seeing my Triple-Force Friday haul didn’t have that number.
