Yeah thats not bad at all. I have only seen Leia and At-At Driver from that wave. I got the At at drivers. Leia' likeness isn't the best which is why i passed waiting for Sh Figuarts to make one

I haven't seen anybody from the wave in stores. I just sucked it up and bought Revan online and will probably end up doing the same with Sabine.

If you have the time to put into a RPG, I'd recommend giving it a try. The first game is even on iOS and Android... although I personally don't like the touch controls, so I stick with the original release.

Plus the twist in the first KOTOR is the video game equivalent of "I am your father." It's one of those things that I hate when I'm talking about it now and people get all "spoiler alert" because the game is over a decade old, if it's not safe to talk about now then when?

I don't have an X-Box anymore to play the KotOR games on. Plus, those are not my type of games. Not a fan of Mass Effect or Fallout either.

I love this figure.

Haha yeah, personally I'll directly mention the twist to people when I know there's no chance in hell they'll play it for themselves. If they simply missed it back then or just never heard of it, I leave it up to them to look into it however they see fit.

That said, Revan's story post-KotOR is... not something I'd like to experience, from what I've read. I saw a tiny bit of it for myself during the first few months of TOR, but lost interest and cancelled my sub. I'll always dislike that game for not being a true KotOR sequel, and we'll likely never get one because of it (and also Disney's buyout). The Exile really got the shaft, though.

TOR's handling of Revan is really bad in that it's a mix of trying way too hard to stir up fans of the first game while also trying too hard to make TOR's main villain seem like an all-powerful god. The Exile just got the shit treatment in general post KotOR2, she gets some decent material in Revan's book but then gets killed in pretty lame fashion only to have some minor appearances as a ghost in TOR. Revan's add-on story for TOR tried to remedy his poor handling in the base version of the game but all it really did was give him a more fitting death than the weird shit they previously pulled.

Also since this is the Star Wars thread I'll add that I just got home from seeing Rogue One finally. I liked it, definitely more than I thought I would. Definitely had some issues with it but nothing damning. I may or may not look at getting a Jyn Erso figure now (they're very available and discounted just about everywhere) and when it comes out maybe Chirrut too but not likely any of the others (except that I already got K2 and a Deathtrooper back when). I would very much like though for Hasbro to use this opportunity to give us Tarkin since he's a figure I've wanted them to do since not long after I got into the new scale and now's a great time to make it happen.

I'm predicting that twist gets cherry picked for Rey in ep.8

I love that shelf.

I saw a few really cool but expensive bed and toy shelf designs over at Pottery Barn too.

On a different topic, thinking back to the recent Black Series Fan Survey, and more specifically the question near the end where you're asked which character HELMETS you would find most attractive to purchase, does anyone know if Hasbro has made any announcements in that regard? I for one am very happy with the display prop Stormtrooper helmet and would like to add a replica Vader helmet and maybe a few others...?

I haven't seen any news, but I would love a Vader helmet. My brothers and I used to have the 2005 Darth Vader voice changer, which unlike nowadays, was a full helmet that assembled properly and everything(it was a bit wide, and the lenses fogged up easily, but still). For some reason, my brother threw it away years ago, even though I would love to have it on my shelf now.

[Marvelfangirl]

That display shelf is amazing.

Just wanted to share these pics of my son's Star Wars 3rd birthday party. Mostly because I love the BB8 pinata my mom made for him

I agree. Looking at previous Luke vs Luke comparison between the two companies, Hasbro really need to step up their game. That quality (especially on the face) is still somewhat acceptable years ago in 3.75" scale. I believe there should be more room to explore with the 6" scale. On a side note, may need to wait for quite some time for them to release Leia (and another characters).

[Augustus_Cole]

@JMercury


That's great....hope he had fun beating a stormtrooper silly... ;o)
..aww..but also..poor BB8...what did he ever do to receive such a pummeling...

Galen Erso figure!!!

Looks really good as well, to me at least.

Must be in the as of yet unannounced wave 4 for the Rogue One line.

[redfox]

Besides Gamestop, as anyone found the Sabine/Leia wave anywhere else? All of my local Gamestops never got the wave.
