No, the troopers are Hasbro's. After the two STs I bought in the summer I refuse to pay for Bandai's prices for any more of them.

Where is a good place to get info on the Figuarts Star Wars stuff? I was thinking of buying an R2-D2 and maybe just any Droid it makes. It looks like there may be a C3PO and a R5-D4 but I'm not sure since I don't know anything about this company or where to look. Thanks.

DON'T CLICK THE LINK IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS! SPOILERS AHEAD!

I love me some scalper bullshit. $199.99

The description makes it even better.

I am hoping that we see more 3.75 black series figures. There are a good 10-12 other characters I would buy in that scale and POA to go along with the only one I have, Kylo Ren. I would absolutely love a Phasma, Hux, Rey, Finn, Poe and older Han, Luke and Leia for sure. Crossing my fingers that 2016 will bring some more news on these.

Nevermind I figured it out. In case anyone else is wondering. Revoltech made the R2D2. There is another 6" R2 that comes with a R5-D4 but it's a plastic kit model that looks like it takes forever to put together along with stickers and junk. I don't think Figuarts made any droids other than a Battle Droid yet.

They haven't, but they have displayed C-3PO and R2-D2 at their Tamashii Events.

Pre-orders are live on Dorkside Toys for the new Black Series figures, including Jango Fett, Ahsoka, and Kanan, all of whom I just pre-ordered.

They also have EPIV Luke, and some of the other new cases coming out as well. Happy hunting!

EDIT: BBTS just posted their pre-order listings as well...but the options are much more limited, pretty much only offering them in cases or as sets...

Unless you grab him off of Dorkside, it's looking like Jango is only included in the sets along with repacks...just like I thought he would be. Looks like he's gonna become Boba 2.0. Here we go again!

[Dr Kain]

Oh god that's rich Dr Kain!

Went to a remote mountain town for a small vacation and I checked the Walmart there. Wasn't expecting much in terms of collectibles but that place was just waiting to be ransacked by scalpers and collectors. A lot of the Battlefront Black Series troopers and the Black Series 3.75" stuff.

I totally agree! There is so much they left out that I expect them to fill in.

[Kamatayan]

Can anyone link me to any 3.75" Star Wars threads around the web?

Dorkside sold out in less than 24 hrs! Nuts. I can't justify spending US$125 + Int'l Shipping for a series bundle just in order to lay hands on Ahsoka.

[Kamatayan]

Anyone know where to get 3.75" figure lightsaber replacements? Normally I would check on eBay but you rarely find anything other than main character lightsabers.

I specifically need a Mara Jade lightsaber so if anyone doesn't need because you've scrapped the figure for a custom or something please PM.

Is there any plastic representation of a T-85 X-wing as I noticed the New Republic space navy is supposed to use the newer model and the Resistance are using donated out of date T-70's.

I got to wondering as the pre-production art shows an Xwing with a hole in the middle of the wing that splits out (a bit like a ARC-170's wings) and not the middle way overlapping split of the T-70's or the even split of the old T-65s.

So It got me wondering might we see another new X-wing next movie and would it be the ones in the art book and would they be T-85's and so with the way licenses don't always get the correct info - might they have been given the production design for the other version so that there is an actual toy of a T-85 but my by accident than intent ?

[Iceman]

Are there even pictures of a T-85? The movie doesn't reference it so we are all left to assume what thet are flying in the movie is the current model.

[lordbest]

Before the Awakening confirms the Republic are using the latest T-85 model, but there are no pictures so I doubt we will see a toy for a while.

Oh my gosh I saw a stand for those at my TRU and when I checked out what the price tag said I had to snap a pic. Maybe it's a code or reference to "blue harvest" but either way I laughed when I saw it in store.


Also I finally saw the movie! Just got home from the latest showing and without going too much into it I'll say that I liked it but have some minor nitpicks.
Now I'll go into it a little so beware of SPOILERS AHEAD!
Firstly I was really glad that Kylo Ren was actually a developed character who will show up more later as opposed to the flavor of the month villains in the PT. On the downside though as my one big nitpick with the film is that I found it to be excessively heavy-handed with its parallelisms to the original film to the point of being able to see the big death coming when that scene began. I liked Phamsa a nice deal but hopefully she gets a lot more screen time in episode 8 because she was really just this movie's Boba Fett in function, look cool and say little but never stick around. I was also pleasantly surprised with Maz as when I first heard about this character I worried we'd be getting some Ewok level shit. As so many have already noted I must agree, where the hell was Zuvio? This guy got a 6" toy in wave 2 and wasn't even a clear background character that I could see (unless he was the guy who died in the nightmare vision Rey had). Lastly, DANIEL CRAIG!!! From now on I'll consider my regular 6" trooper to be his character.

I'm still waiting for a 6 inch black series Mace Windu. Yea, the SH one looks good but if its not in scale with other figs than whats the point? Plus the obvious price difference. And the fact that SH's robes look really bad without soft goods(looking at you Kylo) in anything other than a museum pose. I get a feeling with the release of Jango that we'll be seeing Mace soon though from the Black Series, though, so I just have to hold out a little longer.

We need Padme before before they move onto PT supporting characters. It's bad enough we're getting Jango before the female lead of the PT.

But yes TBS6" Mace would be great.

Idk, man, they barely have a Leia as of yet. So the chances of them giving us TWO female leads from an older trilogy in lack Series isn't looking to good at all. I wouldn't suspect a Padme without another new Anakin coming down the line. And we know Hasbro's priorities are WAY off with this line anyway so here chances aren't looking to good. Besides, Padme has enough wardrobe changes in the three films to justify an entire line.

Padme before any other supporting prequel character?

I don't see it happening, because I don't think that Hasbro cares about prequel characters. Hopefully they keep to this structure, and add at least one prequel character to each wave.

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.

I get that. I'm just saying the movie gives a certain impression and that's what most people will think. Very unlikely to see anything in plastic as it wouldn't sell.
