Since there's no recent thread for Star Wars games, I'll drop this here:

 

So, Baron Harkonnen was a Sith?  And Dune happens in a galaxy far, far away?

Seemingly.

At one point Frank Herbert was considering suing. As he put it there were about "40 points of contact between Star Wars and Dune."

Aside from that C-3PO is blatantly a derivative of the Maschinenmensch from Frtiz Lang's Metropolis. Something I constantly try to forget whenever I look at him/it because, unlike Hitler, that movie is not one of my favourites.

And the whole thing is inspired by Flash Gordon anyway.

Target “exclusive.” <_<

For that price, they better include the gaffi stick, the Tusken rifle, and a couple of Stormies with exploding armor bits.

Or if they wanna be accurate to the actual episode :rolleyes:, replace the Stormies with Migs Mayfield in disguise.

Doesn't matter what they include, or even what price they charge; you'd have better luck preordering a DX Chogokin than a Target-exclusive Star Wars figure. :(

If it were a Migs Mayfield, I'd be pissed.  Thankfully, it's practically identical to the already-solicited "Tatooine" Boba...

...so screw Target. :p

Well, that goes without saying! :D

But what if you prefer his look from Mandalorian over his BOBF look? 

In any case, I would rather get Stormies with exploding armor (when it makes contact with a gaffi stick) than a couple of bucket heads.

I’m mean, c’mon Hasbro, give me an “excuse” to justify the higher price.

Preordered 2 TVC Morak Boba Fetts from Target yesterday.  Looking forward to receiving my 3 TVC Droids Boba Fetts from Target later.  :D

@sh9000 - So are the Black Series Archive's any different from the normal Black Series that are already out? Such as sciff guard Lando? I was just about to buy the current figure off Amazon this week for under $20, should I wait for the newer version linked above? Are the faces better on the "new" archive figs?

Lando Skiff Guard should be the same figure.  Some of the earlier Archive figures were improvements over the original releases like Anakin.

I would get the older release Lando Skiff Guard from Amazon if it's on sale, especially considering the price increase for newer release figures.

So, one thing that sucks about the Razor Crest is that the cargo hold is kinda dark:

But if you add some string LED lights to the ceiling piece, you can light that area up:

Other impressions?

* Give Hasbro credit:  they made every single weapon in that weapons locker detachable and usable (even the little thermal detonators).  It’s an utter bitch to get them all in there on those pegs, but I appreciate the extra effort done for them.

* When the light hits it just right, it looks like the engines glow:

* Again, the sheer size of this thing is off the charts insane.  It does look like a burly beast of a ship.

* Even the stand has a nice quality look to it.

* All the little bells and whistles and paint apps really do make this feel like a premium item.

* Really happy with backing this sucker up!

Can we get them to make something at that level for the X-Wing?  They've been spitting out gradually worse and worse repops of the FX model for what, twenty years now?  That needs a refresh, and it's such an iconic vehicle.

Ordered a TVC Remnant Stormtrooper, ESB Yoda, and Death Watch Mandalorian plus a TBS The Client, Echo, Omega, Ahsoka Tano x2, and Death Watch Mandalorian x2 at Dorkside.  They don't offer free shipping anymore but have a $5 flat rate shipping and still don't charge tax.  The total price and availability still beats Amazon, Target, Entertainment Earth, Hasbro Pulse, and BBTS for what I need of that order.  Ordered a TBS Dark Trooper x3 at Entertainment Earth using their code to get them for $30 shipped each after tax and free shipping.  Ordered another TBS Dark Trooper at The Chosen Prime with no tax and free combined shipping.
