Chronocidal Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Ok, the Snowspeeder looks beautiful, but yeah.. I'm not going to get excited for 6" figures. I just can't see a reason to collect them when I'm more interested in the vehicles, and they don't make those in the proper scale. Quote

Hasbro can't be bothered to make vehicles to scale, regardless of the size of the figures. The larger the vehicles, the more ridiculous it becomes... ...particularly the landing ramps. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) ^ ^ ^ Ha ha ha, no kidding! I got that Millennium falcon and it barely passes as believable "in scale" vehicle, but I must admit, it is my favorite. 4 poeple cockpit makes up for a lot of it flaws. Oh no! A black series Snowspeeder... i must resist the temptation of the black side of the force... I already have a 3.75" speeder i painted myself, with Dak,and Luke in it... I believe that's the big Amazon exclusive Slave 1, yeah. I might have to get that one, as It is the last 3.75" ship still not in my collection. Last of the ships i want, as I don't own all of them.

See, that's true, but I only collect the fighters to begin with, and some of them are dead-on, scale-wise. The A-Wing absolutely nails it, as did the old snowspeeder, and the rest are basically close enough that a 1/18 scale figure can reasonably fit in a 1/24-ish vehicle. What I don't understand.. if that's a "Black Series" snowspeeder.. does that mean it's actually 1/12 scale? That's gonna be huge. On the other hand, can I maybe hope for a Black Series A-Wing?

vlenhoff Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Snow speeders were not really huge in the movie itself, so it might be very close. I do love my black series land speeder, but i had to modify Ben and 3PO to fit in it. I wonder if that Slave 1 comes with that vertical stand. I don't know what to do... I mostly collect fighters myself, and i felt my collection was complete, even without the slave 1... Quote

I wish I kept my Legacy Collection 2.5’ Millennium Falcon. It was still MISBISSB.

I remember when it was an Amazon exclusive that it was marked down. If this newer Slave 1 gets marked down anywhere, then I might get it. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I think I am good on the snowspeeder, as mine fills the spot very well, and i painted it myself. That stupid slave 1 is the problem now. I need to get that DX 1S, so i think you can see the problem here... but the Slave 1 does come with the stand, that might just be the final straw.

David Hingtgen Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Am I nuts, or does that Dak have a really good head sculpt? (Not that we see him THAT much in the movie, I could be mis-remembering his face) Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Question to someone who knows the nuances better than I do: What's the difference(s) between Snowspeeder pilot Luke, and X-Wing pilot Luke? Quote
derex3592 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Was there a difference? I mean he walked from taking down the AT-AT in his orange snow speeder flight suit and hopped right into the X-Wing to head to find Yoda right? Good question for those more knowledgeable than I am on that subject... Quote

The difference in environments required a difference in costumes. The helmet and jumpsuit are basically the same... ...but the winter jacket, gloves, boots, and belt were all new for The Empire Strikes Back. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Ok, I *thought* the jacket was puffier, but I wasn't sure. Didn't catch the boots/gloves though. Quote

We really didn't get to see much of him, but it's not a bad likeness of the actor John Morton. I might have to track down one of these, but the problem is probably going to be finding the Hoth Luke figure to match it at this point. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Dak's sculpt is really nice. I have the old 3.75" version, and I thought it was nice back then. Quote

sh9000 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Preorederd the Black Series 40th ESB Snowspeeder Luke and Bespin Luke at Target. They came out a little cheaper than Dorkside. Preordered 2 TVC 3.75” ESB Boba Fetts at Dorkside along with other stuff. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I couldn't justify that Snowspeeder, either in price or size, but I'm happy to report that my $30 Tie Fighter just got delivered from Dorkside, so that makes a pair to display on either side of a Vader version, if we ever get it. Having shelled out retail for my first, that brings my average to about $60 a piece, which I think is maybe a bit high, but definitely more reasonable than the original $80 price point at Walmart.

Mommar Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 I'll buy any damn Stormtrooper they want to give me. Quote
Graham Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Definitely getting that Black Series Snowspeeder. And The Mandolorian figure with upgraded Beskar armour. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 so carbonized fett and stormtroopers....look cool, but i think way overdone? seemed a more subtle effect on the mandalorian (at least from photos i was never able to see one in person). also its weird seeing fett so shiny and the trooper so silver. want that beskar armor mando though even though i've not managed to track down the orignal one(s) Quote

David Hingtgen Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 So we're getting a Mandalorian, and also THE Mandalorian... Quote
sh9000 Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Target online has a toy offer for $10 off $50 and $25 off $100. Quote
vlenhoff Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Giving the final weathering and damage touches to Rey's speeder. Edited April 16, 2020 by vlenhoff Quote
tekering Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Rey's speeder looks fantastic! That Legacy Millennium Falcon is so absurdly undersized, it actually works better with Kubrick figures... Quote
