Picked this up at Walmart sealed and unopened. Missing weapon vest and has obi wan face.

juggernaut209 · 09-11-2015, 01:31 PM

You bought that? It has most definitely been unsealed and opened.

No, It's from the Saga Bundle I bought. I assume it will be out individually but I don't know when.

darthi8nt · 09-11-2015, 01:47 PM

It has never been opened it is factory sealed.

i doubt that. people can be extremely skilled at removing the tape and putting it back on without it looking like it's ever been opened.

I live in Canada, where it was sold without a bundle, and exclusive to Walmart. It's sold out now though. I keep telling myself I'm done with amiibo, but Nintendo keeps releasing cool figures. So yeah, an 8 bit Samus would be cool, along with other 8 bit characters such as Link, Batman, TMNTs, etc...

It's because a few pages back I had posted everything I bought. I was just showing everything together after the online orders arrived. I just assumed that everyone reads every (if not most) post as I like to do to catch up...above is the original post.

Can almost guarantee that it was opened, as I saw a nearly the same thing, only the jacket wasn't removed, and the head was swapped with a movie Cap unmasked head. They made off with the weapon too.

So, this is the new dick move from desperate types. Look for this to happen more frequently in the future, since the secret is now out that Finn's head can be swapped with a First Order Trooper's to create another one of Finn's looks from the film.

Now, if only the clerks taking in these returns would look at the packaging, and notice that the character on the box looked nothing like the one in the box. You would think right?

if not 8bit then they should at least release a simon belmont or something like that from castlevania!!

oh ok I gotcha my bad! heh

Phantomcrow · 09-11-2015, 05:01 PM

Well, I completely expect Hasbro themselves to make the Trooper Finn all on their own sometime in the future. It is a new figure that will cost them nothing to make except a hollow helmet just like Luke and Han troopers.

Why would anyone buy that,knowing that's not the character on the box?

Universe · 09-11-2015, 06:44 PM

He thought is was unique enough to purchase; not my cup of tea but hey, he liked it.

That Mario looks great. I love what Nintendo stuff is coming out.

I was this close last night to paying a scalper on eBay for starfox, but I held out knowing I'd see him the next day. Low and behold my fred Meyers had like 10 fox mclouds on sale for $9. I hate paying a reseller and then finding the figure the next day at retail.

This week I purchased
Star Wars Hot Wheels Jedi Interceptor and Black Series Titanium First Order Star Destroyer

I'm perplexed...why TWO lines of die-cast metal ships at retail?
I plan to do a quick review video, like

since they brought back the titanium lil' ships, I wonder if they'll bring back (or remake rather) the transformers titaniums! i used to have quite a few of those way back when, but sold them all. i'm not gonna rebuy the ones i sold, but it would be cool to see them bring that back w/ maybe some updated details or something.

no thank you. most of those figures were pretty bad. as nice as diecast can be sometimes, it was really poorly designed for those figures.

Good review. That Vader head on Grevious's body looked bad ass, and the Grevious hand on Vader's body reminded me of Anakin's golden hand from ATOC. I've never been much into the Masher series, but the Star Wars ones are really excellent from what I have seen so far. I really dig the sculpts. I might get Grevious just for all of those extra lightsabers alone...

Sweet, I got Blanka instead of Ken and a different Pac-Man character. Same DC figure though I think. Had to look him up. Star Spangled kid I think it was?
