How are their priorities way off? Their choices could sometimes be better but overall I think it's a solid line.

But I think that she would clog the pegs for sure. We would have another Slave Leia/Greedo incident.

Jango, Mace, Grievous, apprentice Obi-Wan, Qui Gon, apprentice Anakin, and Dooku, need the priority. And maybe throw in a couple of droids.

Because TBs 3.75" Padme pegwarmed so badly? Don't be silly. She is one of the three main PT characters, both the others have a 6" figure, Grievous is getting a 6" figure. Padme by all rights should already have a figure, as she doesn't she should be a priority. She will sell IF she is a good action figure, which slave Leia was not.

Obi Wan is the worst pegwarmer of the 6" line and you are trying to argue that we need another PT Obi Wan over Padme?

It is, but they should have had ANH or Hoth Leia instead of slave Leia, and we should have Padme to go with PT Obi-Wan and Anakin. It's a problem when you can't even assemble the main cast of the OT or PT after two and a half years.

Quick Update after toy hunting today - Black series 6" Wave 5 with Jango out here in NC Walmarts.

Wave 3 and 4 came and went in a storm over the last week. Hux being the hardest to find and scalped everywhere.

Also, local Walmart was stocking Wave 3 of the 3.75 figures tonight.

what is the case pack out for that wave?
I could use 3 more Stormtroopers for a squad of 4.

Anybody selling or trading an anakin black series?

Yes. I have zero interest in a Padme, and I would like to recreate the Dual of the Fates scene.

Heck, I would rather have a Jar Jar figure than Padme.

lordbest · 01-06-2016, 11:02 PM

Well, you are entitled to buy what you like of course, but the argument that a new version of the worst pegwarmer in the TBS line of either scale would sell better than a 6" version of one of the smaller lines best selling figures is not at all convincing. Regardless she IS one of the PTs three main characters and for that reason alone she deserves a figure.

Has anyone tried to head swap the armor up Kylo Ren head onto the 4" black series Kylo Ren for an unhooded look?

They are re-releasing original trilogy Han and Jedi Luke? Or did you mean EP7 Han and EP4 Luke (A New Hope)?

Yeah, that is just nuts. I wish they would open up more pre-orders for Ahsoka and Kanan. Can't seem to find any other pre-orders for just those two figures. I'm not interested in buying the entire wave.

Augustus_Cole · 01-07-2016, 12:04 PM

I took my General Grievous (elite - Disney store) back to the store to return it because it kinda actually sucked as a figure (looked good in package).
.the girl asked me was I crazy and that everyone is looking for this...i'm like good..the next person can have it..the she says it's on ebay for 200.00...
i pause....i'm like..okay..i'll hold on to it..
Well sure enuff...i sold my first item on ebay...posted it..and it sold in about 12 hours... i only asked 190.00...nice turnover for a figure i didnt' want.

I think this list is for the Walmart 3.75" figures.

En Sabah Nerd · 01-07-2016, 05:07 PM

Now that I've seen the movie I was happy to pick up the wave 3 Rey and Domhnall Gleeson: the toy. Now I can remake the dance scene from Ex Machina but with Star Wars!

Hey guys, did a review of the First Order TIE Pilot and it'd be awesome if you checked it out! Thanks!

"Haggis and whiskey" LOL

Good review. I agree: it's a good design, better in some ways than the original TIE pilot. A holster would be a nice bonus, but then, one doesn't expect to get embroiled in many gunfights inside that cramped ship's cabin, so the fact that a gun is included at all seems obligatory rather than necessary.

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

As for the gun, even a peg and slot like is on the new Stormtrooper would be welcome, but yeah, it's not the end of the world.

I thought about it but haven't justified the $15 for a head swap. I think they will have an unmasked version in a later wave now that the movie is out. Like the Rey that was found early and Disney was sending out cease and desist letters on.

Robb · 01-08-2016, 01:11 PM

Hey, new to the forum. I was able to find the newest waves at walmart today in S.C.

Augustus_Cole · 01-08-2016, 01:59 PM

If you give me them...i will allow you to stay.

That would be fantastic if it is. I would really like to get a Rey Finn and Poe in that scale. Assuming it's the black series at that scale. Trying to hunt down any information on upcoming waves is so confusing as it's all mixed in together now, everything I see I think is for the 6" series. Even RS is not helping me out.

That sounds like a bargain.

I have been watching for awhile, figured I would jump in to the fun.
