I would love if he was a constantly pursuing threat that at some point catches up to them. Like right after the main group hands off the plans he finally intercepts them and kills them all in glorious fashion.

I'm with you absolutely. I knew there was a reason why I have Vader sharing a shelf with Freddy and Big Chap. There's some elusive, indefinable quality that they share in common...!

snake5289 · 05-24-2016, 06:57 PM

That would be cool. Vader should be an unstoppable force that borders on Jason levels. Rouge One seems like the perfect place to really showcase that. Every time he shows up whatever is in his way should just get wrecked and wrecked hard.

Rebels has done a pretty good job of showing how devastating he can be. Same goes for the opening of Force Unleashed.

lordbest · 05-24-2016, 10:51 PM

I doubt he will be in it much, they have been making a lot of the fact this movie isn't about Force users. Having him shoew up and wreck everyone with the Force kind of goes against that.

Who wants to see some weird knock off Star Wars figures?!

I found these 3 awful things and had to pick them up and do a video on them.

Oh boy are these terrible.

Augustus_Cole · 05-30-2016, 04:42 AM

@zomb....yeah those were interesting...butI've seen worse..ha...

so I finally found Ahsoka from the Black Series. Was at FYE and asked one of the salespeople if they had more SW figs in the back. She brought out a fresh case and Ahsoka was in there. Now she is 1 of the 4 figures (in general) I've been dying to get my hands on.
Was really happy at the purchase. BUT...now that i have the figure home and opened. I'm really not that fond of it. I know it a more realistic styling...and of course her being older...but it ..REALLY doesn't feel like an Ahsoka figure to me. i just see an Togruta (i looked that up..i'm not that nerdy) female Jedi figure.
it makes me sad ...
and side note...what the hell are those lightsaber hilts made out of....they're soft as *%$#!!!! Flexi-Saber!

Anyone else notice this listing for 10 "totally legit" 6" figures? What a deal!

I'd almost want R2 and 3PO, (almost) since Hasbro isn't releasing 3PO until Fall. But even then he'll have his gaudy red arm. Then with R2 he's become ridiculously-expensive like the rest of wave 1 in the aftermarket.

Speaking of wave 1, doesn't Hasbro realize how much easy money they'd make if they re-released Darth Maul... *sigh.*

I always feel bad whenever I see these obvious knockoffs having so many sales. The poor kid who's grandma bought these for him must be distraught xD

Whenever I got a knockoff as a kid I always felt bad.

Wow, even the knock-off folks are starting to cut corners. They gave Chewbacca a Groot torso!

Has it been confirmed of any 3.75" Black series figures for the Rogue One line?

Not to this point but let's hope that if they do make some they won't be Wal-Mart exclusive.

I'm sure we will find out during SDCC.

Thank you, Kamatayan and Provost!

Startaiger · 06-08-2016, 01:34 PM

Hey guys, do you know any online shop selling parts to complete SW vehicles? I can't find what I need on Ebay. Thanx in advance!

Kamatayan · 06-08-2016, 02:08 PM

What are the best Boba Fett and Jango Fett's in the 3.75" scale?

I would agree, but since those Vintage Collection figures go for a pretty high price, I would also recommend the figures out of the Star Wars Evolution: The Fett Legacy set, as that box set tends to run a bit cheaper than attempting to purchase the two VC figures separately.

If you don't care about articulation and just want something to stand on your desk, the Mission Series Jango and Boba Fett figures that came out with the Rebels line are incredible, as the sculpts are right on point.
