I picked up a Poe / BB-8.  I forgot about the 2-Packs and just thought it was a Poe that came with BB-8 as an accessory.  Honestly $14.99 for that set is kind of absurd, but I bought it anyway... so...

Yep.  Not only have they been available at Walmart for 6 weeks, but the show has been on for longer...

It's inane, but they're just toys and I'll find them later on...

This is me. Provided 5 POA does go away, which is a big if I think, I would hope TVC would expand proportionally but that is unlikely. Personally I really enjoy 5POA and outside of the trooper/Jedi/main characters don't really need SA versions of every character. I like them, but 10 POA would be ok. 12. TVC I think is in real trouble already. At least around me, 5POA sells. I know Solo didn't do well, but the figures did. If Hasbro withdrew from 3.75 or escalated prices beyond their current level, I'd be out.

5 POA works for me depending on the sculpt. If the sculpts are strong and the details are there, I'm not so worried about the articulation.  I'm not sure if he has more than 5 POA, but Quay Tolsite is a good example... that's a great looking figure, even if he doesn't have ball joints all over.

Interesting rumor/note over at Yakface this past weekend -

"What is even more interesting is that we’re hearing of a potential scale change too (comparable scale and price to the 5” Marvel Infinity War line). That would essentially mean that there wouldn’t be two competing 3.75” lines vying for collectors dollars with just the Vintage Collection remaining."

So -
5" Kids line (Galaxy of Adventure)
3.75" Collector line (The Vintage Collection)
6" Collector line (Black Series)

If we've truly hit the point where Hasbro is abandoning the "3.75inch line is for kids" idea, it's a big moment for the line, the license, and the future.  Is this a last chance grab to re-ignite kid interest in SW figures? One last scale change money grab before they lose the license in 2020 (to someone like Mattel, who just lost their DC license, or even to Disney itself)?  Interesting times ahead for sure if the rumor is true (and let's face it - Jayson wouldn't just be tossing this out there).

Imagine an Episode 9 line where there are 4-6 new 3.75" Ep9 figures mixed in with 4-6 OT/TLJ/SOLO repacks across 2-3 waves.   Someone go ahead and queue up some R.E.M. for me. 

I'm in for as much 3.75" as they want to make, but I passed on 6" because it seemed absurd to start over, and I'm not going to start buying a 5" scale either.

The idea of having like 5 or 10 or even fewer figures to represent an entire film in the collection seems completely wrong.

I suppose at this age and after 23 years of this, I'm okay either way.  I enjoy this hobby, but if they want to walk it back and make it far less expensive to keep up with, so be it.

The 6-pack version has slightly yellow hue to the mud on the boots while the single card version mud is whiter in color.

Here are pics from Yakface twitter -

That's perfect, thanks!

At RS, someone posted this link too, which might be old news, but is a pretty handy resource for comparing that I'd never seen:

Target is clearancing both Solo and Last Jedi Figs. First stage clearance, but underway none-the-less.

EDIT

...and I see this has been mentioned in the discount thread.

That’s awesome if I want two dozen Rose or Hux figures.

I still haven’t seen anything past wave one in a store. 

I haven’t opened either one.  But they definitely look a lot like one another.  I got both the Falcon and the Kessel playset.  The playset gives you some nice display options.  And I don’t think anyone is going to go so far as to dress up the BMF Falcon in SOLO deco, as tempting as that might be.  Plus the coaxium storage cylinders make for a cool accessory.

What I might do with one of the Han figures with no jacket is to put a vest on it. Because I got so many of the CommTech Han Solo figures way back when that one of those can spare a vest. That way I’ll have a Han figure to depict him in the Sabacc game from the end of the movie.

Sounds like you’re talking about the regular Han, I’m asking about the Mimban one in the Imperial armor outfit?
