A slightly more coherent pattern to the front might have helped but there is a design there. Late reply, but I'm actually not referring to the Falcon. I'm more thinking of the original designs they made for the movie. Mentioned it before, but clearly someone on the staff had been trapped in their cubicle so long, they must have gone nuts, glued handlebars to their cubicle wall, and tried to ride it around the office. And, apparently that was the best idea anyone could come up with for a vehicle design. There's obviously some practicality to it, but good grief people.. have they completely forgotten that the idea of making merchandise is to design things that people might possibly want to buy? Quote

vlenhoff Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 SO this happened... I asked the usual suspects, but then... I found the spring trigger thing... broken. This toy has never been used BTW, just displayed. so i took the springs out, as no wings remain in place. and glued it together. The End. Quote

Chronocidal Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Honestly, I cannot believe they didn't remove that stupid spring-loaded feature when they remodeled the Tie body years back. Just what every collector wants.. a model that shoots pieces off all by itself. Quote

I haven’t had time to fix it but also don’t got the damn room to display it. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 I just got back from a trip to Disneyland yesterday. Got to check out Galaxy's edge for the first time and really enjoyed it. I did the Custom lightsaber experience which was awesome and picked up a Rey legacy hilt. Building the custom lightsaber was so much fun and I think it turned out pretty cool; And the Legacy saber is a thing of beauty. Quote
derex3592 Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 That cool @anime52k8, how does the Ray compare with the older Master Replicas FX line? Far better I'm assuming? Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 These are my first adult collectable lightsabers but from what I've read the legacy line is definatly better than the older master replica and black series Force FX sabers. The legacy sabers use interchangeable RGB blades so you can display/wear just the hilt and they have color change on hit which is cool (Rey's flashes from blue to yellow and my build-a-saber flashes from violet to green). The sound is also supposed to be better with more unique noises. The only thing I don't like is that the motion noises aren't very responsive. Quote

But not into the scale, don’t enjoy that it’s an exclusive, and really wish they had made it so the hood could be moved left or right and not restrict head movement. Quote

Mommar Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 This does make me wonder if an SHF might happen. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Another Black Series Revan? And they STILL won't put him into on-screen canon anywhere??!? Seriously, I'd rather have 5-secs of cameo/flash-back Revan somewhere, than any figure, at this point. Just make him "uber-official". Quote

The decision to make Revan is a Hasbro one with Disney's blessing. Not a decision specifically by Disney. Also, Hasbro knows the new trilogy stuff doesn't sell but there's good will to the old stuff and EU so they take stabs at it on the occasion afforded them. Also, mold reuse is cheaper to do. Quote

Big s Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 To be honest, I didn’t mind Rose. And to think about it, I don’t think I really disliked any characters in the new trilogy. I think plot and writing were the real problems. Especially in the case of the second film in the new three. I still want to see the third one good or bad. It probably won’t be the worst movie I’ve seen this year. Quote
tekering Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Apparently, some people still prefer Kenner's vintage line to modern Hasbro figures... ...although I really can't imagine why. Quote
electric indigo Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I am starting to wonder if the sequel trilogy had worked better as an OVA... Quote
Graham Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I'm hoping Hasbro release a 6" Black Series end of season The Mandaloraian figure, with all the Beskar armour upgrades and rocket pack. Quote
sh9000 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I’d buy that. The only Black Series 6” figure from The Mandalorian that I’ve skipped so far is the Offworld Jawa. I’ll wait to see if it gets discounted. I don’t really collect Funko Pops but I’ll take these as Black Series 6” figures as well. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 OMG...I MUST have that Mando on the whattchamacallit creature for my desk!!! Quote
