Whichever scale, Rebelscum.com has an archive of Star Wars toys, and they catalog (and take pictures of) all the toys. You can go check there for basically a checklist of all the Black Series figures released.

Thanks Blue- it's a fine line between wanting to show off lots of figures in a display to just having a crowd of toys stuffed in a case- lol....

Looks like the Disney Store Star Wars elite figures have hit. I picked up Kylo on a whim, but Rey looks great too.

Was able to pick up the Krennic wave at target today.

BBTS has the Black Series 6" Episode VII Wave 5 up for pre-order at $119 + shipping. That is the Revan Wave for anyone interested:

Those Star Wars Elite figures are treading closer to the "doll" realm and further away from the action figure genre. It is only my opinion and I'm not trying to sound negative. Apologies if I came across that way. I hate when others bag on a line I really like. Just felt like I needed to put that out there....

Rey certianlly looks that way, but the Kylo simply looks like a bigger Black Series figure.

Action figures are dolls, the distinction is a marketing concept nothing else. It's the corinthian leather of toys.

Basically. The only difference is that one is marketed for more action-oriented play, and the other for more peaceful play. But in reality, there is little difference between the two.

Rey is like one of Black Series

Robb · 11-26-2016, 01:42 PM

Does anyone need Atsy from the 6 inch line ?

Skoob · 11-26-2016, 08:43 PM

Has anyone here seen a light-up Holocron prop in their online travels? I'm surprised that such a thing hasn't been released. All I can find is the games by Uncle Milton (Jedi version, Sith version). I don't want a game! I just like props.

I'm surprised, I haven't seen that Sith type yet. Other than those, the Vault Edition books do have some prop types. And then there's Etsy handcrafted stuff.

My son wanted me to ask if anyone has a bag of BUILD-A-WEAPON parts from the TFA/R1 3.75" recent lines. He loves them and the way he sets them up is quite creative.

Just throwing it out there as I am sure some folks have several and have no use for them.

Also, I have a spare Snap Wexley if anyone needs him. Accidentally picked up a second two pack and decided to keep it for the Snow Trooper Officer. Have a Director Krennic figure up as well. Saw two of them and grabbed one because I didn't want him but thought an Arker might. Can have it for cost plus shipping..about $11-$12 total.
Would prefer to trade as we need more Stormtroopers or a Maz for a partial trade and I can add more stuff or PayPal.
Thanks

Star Wars Props
This place has a Sith holocron prop, but you can kind plenty more on Etsy as Foreddyn mentioned.

Skoob · 11-28-2016, 02:33 AM

You just made my week!

Bo Ttef · 12-02-2016, 03:34 PM

Scarif is well protected now- some troops,a Captain to lead them, and a custom ISB Officer (based on my SDCC cosplay last year-

) stand fast to protect Imperial installations from Rebel scum...

Byrnes · 12-02-2016, 03:46 PM

I swear TRU had about 400 of those exclusive troopers at the store yesterday. I couldn't believe how many there were when people were acting like they were hard to find.

My store actually had 40 of the hovertank pilots which was ridiculous because they therefor only had like 5 regular 6" figures. I guess this is how they responded to complaints from last year when the snowtrooper officer kept selling out, in my area he was very difficult to find.

walmart had tons of the Scarif trooper... I took five home and there were still at least ten left behind. I think he'll be even easier to find than the TRU Hovertank pilot that is peg warming (almost) everywhere now...

Robb · 12-02-2016, 05:14 PM

Not here I have not seen the first one. Scarif trooper that is.
