Saw an ad for Star Wars last weekend at the Imax theater. Same ad I had seen online before BUT seeing it on that huge screen and hearing the opening fanfare through theater speakers - I was a kid again back in 77...

Well, that confirmed that the "new" Lego x-wing has the wings wrong. :(

I don't either, but I can understand what is being held by one of the characters in the poster can be considered spoilery. Honestly though, I don't think that particular thing is supposed to be a surprise. Worst movie spoilers I can remember from products would be, Indy 4 and Shia's characters description on the back of it's package reveals who he is, and way back when Ep I was coming out the freaking soundtrack had a title called Qui-Gon's noble end. I was pissed at that one!

I'm so glad I live in California. Can't wait to check out Star Wars Land at Disneyland with my wife when it is finally built.

Same here but it'll be Orlando for my family when my daughter is old enough. By then the theme park should be ready :)

Dunno if this is really spoilery at all, but I'll hide it just in case.

So... three suns. I can't wait to see how many lens flares that causes... JJ may have found the perfect franchise. :lol:

You should be thankful then. He's not directing Episode 8 or 9.

Hasbro X-Wing Super deformed! Similar to 1979 X-Wings. I wish they were larger like the electronic Luke version. Perhaps they will milk it and release a scale version later. I'm missing the red LED in the nose cone.

HOT! Well they have to release something like the FX X wing, IMO...

Posted

Well, I suppose it fits with the 5 pt articulation...

Is it so hard to make stuff look like it should? I know the movie's kind of old school, but the toys too?

I think I'm gonna limit myself to 6" black series...

Posted

So next month Carrie Fisher is gonna be in town doing a lil local comic con. Anything you guys want me to ask her if I got the chance?

Posted

I'm restricting myself to the 6" black series figures as well.

I really don't know what Hasbro is thinking with the 5 point articulation.......urghhhh.

I hope someone makes a decent toy of the new X-wing though. And I want the white version with blue stripes far more than Poe Dameron's version.

Even Hasbro's Age of Ultron 4 inch action figure are now 5 point articulation, may be I think they are trying to save cost production. Anyhow I also want the blue/ white X-Wing, besides the black one, don't mind the 1970s retro scale for the vehicles and now where is the my beloved ship the Millennium Falcon.

Posted

Trust me guys, they'll come out with an FX style X wing, it wouldn't make sense not to. I just hope they don't take as long as they did with the first one...

The five point articulation stinks big time but be reminded that Disney royalties are spanking articulation, paint ops, and features off of the toys. I think they are planning a black series T-Fighter and pilot which is going to be huge. Couldn't imagine a X-wing at that scale. Where would I display this?

Hasbro is more concerned with making a profit on these toys than coming out with outstanding product. Their profit margins are ridiculous which makes it tough to design great toys, especially for a license like this one.

The Falcon, I was hoping for the original 70s mold with some updates or modifications :unsure: . The new one doesn't seems to have landing gears and even smaller than the 70s Falcon. Oh well I'll purchase it cuz I don't have one.

I'll buy all of these for my kids(9&7) and I can guarantee they won't bitch about the scale or lack of articulation lol. I mean who is the target audience for a Millenium Falcon with a freaking Nerf cannon in the middle of it? These toys are for kids as far as I can tell. Adult collectors have plenty of options IMO, but to each his own I guess?

There's always the Hot Toys 1/6 scale Falcon for those who want larger representations with more detail. :)

Yeah, these are for kids. Just like the first ones were in the 70s and 80s.
