The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars Episode IX
« on: September 5, 2017, 08:05 PM »
This is ridiculous. Well, good luck to Lucasfilm going forward. Seems to be a very "it's my ball and I'm going home" thing at Lucasfilm, god help you to be on the wrong side of that.

Wonder if they'll get anybody to work for them now. That's three ousted directors, equal to the number they haven't fired off their movies.

Disney Parks Droid Factory / Re: BB Droid Factory set

Too bad this kind of stuff isn't at retail. This is the kind of thing I go nuts for. Guess I'll get it on the app when they hit, whenever Disney gives us a break.

The Last Jedi / Re: Force Friday II - September 1, 2017
« on: September 1, 2017, 05:04 PM »
Headed out at midnight to the local WMs. As Darby said, we had to hit two to get our Luke figures, which was the only reason I went out. Glad to find it finally, as it's a figure that should have been out eighteen months ago, but here we are. A very lousy showing by WM, as it has been the last two releases. One case each of Orange and Teal, and no new Black Series 6" at the second store. Hera was conspicuously absent from the PDQs at the first store, which doesn't surprise me. I don't collect the Rebels 6" figures, but some dude was there looking for just Hera and must have managed to find one.

Going out in a bit to see what's out there. Only ended up buying Luke and Paige last night, waiting to see what gets revealed before buying something I don't want.

The Last Jedi / Re: TLJ 3.75" Basic Figure Line
« on: July 30, 2017, 08:06 PM »
These look much improved from the TFA figures, which is good. Glad to see the silly accessories are gone. Bet these will still be eight bucks, though.  ::)

Packaging is great, seems to have a vintage influence with the big picture on the card. Hasbro is really pimping that Force Link thing, which I figure they'll stop supporting around this time next year if at all.

I think, so far, that I'll only be getting Luke and Rey on Force Friday, and wait to see what's up with Paige and Rose. Might end up grabbing Kylo too because I know I will.

I like it. I hope there's a Luggabeast set in the future, but I doubt it.

Other Toy Lines / Re: 2017: What Are You Collecting?
« on: July 13, 2017, 04:54 PM »
I think Diddly nailed it on Star Wars. One movie a year is not beneficial for toy selling.

Absolutely true. I saw on Twitter today that the Rogue One stuff is now on clearance at Target. What, half the line made it to the pegs there? I never saw wave 3 anywhere.

At some point, the licensees are going to run into a brick wall and say screw it.

Back to the topic. I guess it's just Transformers Titans Return, which is the only thing I've had any success collecting this year. I still buy vintage GI Joe when I can. Not very often. I'd say I was a Star Wars collector, but other than the U-Wing I got on clearance at Barnes and Noble, I'm not sure I've bought anything Star Wars since wave 2 of the Rogue One stuff dropped around the movie's premiere.

Joe Defender / Re: 2017 SDCC Cobra Missle Command Set
« on: June 18, 2017, 07:16 PM »
I like it. Considering there's no new GI Joe stuff other than Club offerings for the next two years, I'll try to pick this up.

Rogue One / Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
« on: May 13, 2017, 06:40 PM »
Picked up a U-Wing at Barnes & Noble today for $12. Neat ship, but I do wish is was bigger and had more paint detail. I should just be happy Hasbro is still making vehicles.  :-\

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2017 Hasbro Star Wars Fan Figure Vote
« on: April 28, 2017, 09:59 PM »
I figure this is like every other Fan vote they've ever had- the finalists are figures they're working on already, and have already been approved by Lucasfilm.

I wonder if Dorme or Cliegg would have placed higher if Hasbro had said the Tonnikas were out of the running. But I'll take Sim or my Yak Face resculpt. Heck, even a great ROTJ Emperor would be nice.

The vote is finally up. I picked Sim Aloo, though he's currently dead last at 8% of the vote. Looks like you can vote more than once too, though I haven't tried.

I'm torn between Dorme and Cliegg Lars. Odd that my choices would be from my least favorite Star Wars flick...  :-\

I was hoping this would happen around the TLJ release, but oh well. Gives WM time to clear out that backstock of 4" Black Series.

Man, I'm stoked for this. Now I wish I hadn't sold off my carded TVC collection.  :'(

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Ye Olde Nintendo

I bet they'll just reissue it in a year or two with more/different games on it.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: TRU 6" Commander Gree
« on: April 13, 2017, 06:56 PM »
Transformers are having a price increase when the new movie stuff hits ($20 for Deluxes, $30 for Voyager) so it wouldn't surprise me if these went up too.

Came down on the price. I just want these out of my house now.
