Lol! Yup! I'm so hoping for that female bounty hunter!! I know she's expanded universe,but I want another!! I sold mine for top dollar
Anybody still collecting SW on here?
- Thread starter garrison99
- Start date
My boys and I found the newest wave of rogue one at target last night. I have to admit even tho he is 5 poa the Krennic is awesome.
Wally has the R1 black series 4". Only two figs from the movie and several ROTJ guys.. a good wave though. No prequel crap.
Yes, ROTJ Lando, Ackbar and Imperial Red Guard are all great additions to the 4 inch Star Wars line.
I have continued to maintain my original trilogy collection with these.
Seeing the upcoming 6" Snowtrooper and AT-AT Driver looks promising.
I saw the new 3.75 Black series SW figures at WM yesterday. Jyn Erso looks nice, but she's just too dam small, I've got enough shorty females as it is.
So am I the only one who still has not seen TFA yet?
Probably, though in your defence it really is just a remake of A New Hope. :trollface:
I love SW, except for the prequels. Those goddamn things suck, and the re-remastered OT, Jesus Christ. Ewoks don't blink, Vader doesn't scream NO, and G$DD#MN Greddo...Rogue One and Ep7 were AWESOME!!!!
Seems I've got quite the 5poa SW collection going on!
I also have an old man Han,and a red alien dude. My favorite is the tan Luke. his face is hilarious! like someone just told him the chick he's been bangin'&dumpin' em' off in is his sister! :trollface:

Looks like someone shouldn't have drug their heels, eh? *doh*
Still, if you want to get rid of that Squdward minifigure (green skin, tan shirt) LMK.

So of course, the local Wal-mart needed to make me eat my fucking words. I don't know what the hell happened, but now the place is swimming in a back log of 3.75" Black Series figures. I saw at least five Ashoka's, a few Death Troopers, and even managed to find a couple figures of Captain "Bashed and Trashed" Phasma.
There are literally more Black Series figures there are basic assorted figures. Like, what the fuck even? What makes it even more infuriating is that there's too many, but they're all still full price, meanwhile the 6" figures on sale right now. A 6" figure only costs 3 more dollars than a 3.75" one. It's like the Black Series 3.75" figures exist only to convince collectors and parents to buy the other figure lines instead, like a $13 deterrence.

Yeah, stopped in WM this morning, and it was brimming with 4" BS. My first reaction was that they ordered a full palate to stock for x-mas and they arrived late. WTF. Now they will still be rotting there this time next year.
For a company so numbers-driven, with just-in-time restocking and every conceivable metric and analytic about when to stock and how much, they are a hot mess when it comes to toy selection, stocking, pricing, and clearing out the old stuff. If I had their data, I'd have a Watson-esque computer that knows when you're looking for a figure before you do, and I'd make sure the store had one.
WTF Mattel!

Hahaha, yeah, I know.
Eddie and I have a running thing where we blame everything on Mattel because they suck so hard, even stuff that has nothing to do with them. Toys, politics, natural disasters... it's probably Mattel's fault. "WTF Mattel" is the go-to tagline. It's like how everyone around here misspells "multiple" as "mutable". Just one of our idiosyncrasies.
I may look dumb, but that's just a disguise

I got the cartoon leia figure! What a piece of shit:trollface:
It literally is 5 pieces of plastic,and the grapple accessory is actually less shitty then the figure! I know it's off of the cartoon,and looks that way for that reason...it's just poorly made! It's torso us a solid block,it's arms&legs are solid pieces. It has almost no details,and to make it worse I had to heat it up,and bend the legs to make it stand. in the 80's there where better toys in the coin operated machines for 25¢. At $7.50 hasbro should be ashamed of themselves! there should be several of them in one box at this price!!

Entertainment earth has cheap Imperial Navy officers $5 in case anyone is looking to bolster their ranks.
I got 4 of them for my Death Star, plus a bunch of other clearance stuff I kind of wanted but didn't want to pay full price for.

It's pretty much why this hobby has been less than appealing. Hasbro is the only company that even makes most things these days, so they don't have to try because there's no real competition.
