I got that Slave I individually for $20 at Target last year and Boba Fett for $5 at a grocery store.

A 6" scale Slave I would be HUGE. It dwarfs TIE fighters and the 6" scale TIE fighter is already huge.

If there had been a Slave-1 for 12" Figures then some slight adaptation to the interior would have made it almost perfect for smaller sized figures.

Wave 3 of the Walmart SA black series is those three characters.

Not my best video but heres a look at Poe and Rey from the new wave of Walmart exclusives

En Sabah Nerd · 01-10-2016, 06:14 PM

Since I picked up Hux I now have a good First Order squad (I actually have two TIE pilots but only one would fit in frame).

Wow, I haven't posted in here in more than a year! Last time I posted I was looking for Darth Vader and Anakin from the 6 inch line. This past September I jumped into collecting the black series head first; making my previous black series figure count jump from 1 (Darth Vader) to 15 in one month. I'm now hopelessly addicted to this line. Last night I picked up the EP.VII Han Solo figure from a Walmart near me, and sadly there were no Jango Fett's to be found. So this morning on a "why not" trip to the same Walmart I discovered they restocked the entire wave and scored a Jango for only $9! I also noticed that they had 2 more full cases of them on a pallet as well. So distribution seems to be getting better here which is really nice. I can only hope distribution is still as nice come next wave lol. So how many do you buy of your troopers? I'm thinking I'd like about 1 version of each variation for example: 1 snowtrooper commander, 1 standard snowtrooper. 1 FO stormtroper, one riot stormtrooper, etc. do you guys think that would look odd? Or does anybody else buy them that way?

Skoob · 01-11-2016, 02:18 PM

Welcome back! I had a similar rush for the Black Series a few months ago when I went after my favourites from the first couple of waves. I'm not a completist; I just go after the individual characters and designs that I like. I love the classic trooper design. I haven't purchased any Force Awakens stuff, but I'm in the queue for the upcoming Rebels figures and hope an Original Trilogy snowtrooper will surface at some point - with tripod blaster cannon, of course.

NICE score, catching Jango for nine bucks...!

Kamatayan · 01-11-2016, 07:39 PM

Anyone ever see this set before? It has the Stormtrooper with the Z6 Riot Control Baton. Waiting for that specific figure to go on eBay so that I can put the weapons on the Black Series 3.75" First Order Stormtrooper. It would be nice having TR-8R in my collection.

That is the Amazon exclusive troop builder set.

Kamatayan · 01-11-2016, 08:00 PM

We're getting a 3.75" Rebels Rex! So happy about this!

Kenobi · 01-11-2016, 10:03 PM

Hey, I was wondering if the ANH Ben Kenobi was still a thing and, if so, when it was going to be released. Thanks!

zombombie · 01-12-2016, 12:46 AM

Hi guys! Check out my Jango Fett review if you like!

I'm loving this figure and most of the new Black Series we've seen. Just really want Hasbro to step up the painting!

I remember there being a rumor that we'd see a 6" figure of ol' Ben Kenobi back when but it clearly hasn't panned out. The fact that he was on the fan-poll back at SDCC shows that Hasbro had no plans to make one at that time and I'd bet that they interpreted the results of the poll as no great push to get started on Ben Kenobi.

If anyone needs them HTS has Tie pilot and resistance trooper up.

They're a soft gummy material. A bit difficult to get in his hands but they work just fine.

I decided to treat myself to the Entertainment Earth 4 Pack of Imperials. Why not check out my review? Thanks guys!
