Looks like some Star Wars vinyl figures are coming from X-Plus...

X-Plus adds the monstrous chess pieces from the Dejarik game seen aboard the Millennium Falcon in the "Star Wars" films to their figure lineup! These figures are scaled roughly to the actual puppets animated by hand for use in the film; the one shown here is about 21cm tall.

Pre-orders are being taken now at Hobbylink Japan: Star Wars Dejarik Monster Collection

Darth Revan up for preorder on BBTS

WVMARVEL · 02-26-2018, 07:55 PM

I got a Provost approval!!! I am honored.

In celebration, Droid shelf.

So Bandai has released the 2nd set of Star Wars HQ mini model kits. The Battle of Hoth complete set of gashapon models are a bit of a let down this time as 3 of the 5 kits are just repeats from the first set. Considering all the other vehicles that are featured in ESB, I'm not sure why they made this decision. I don't remember any X-Wings (other than Luke's) or Y-Wings at The Battle of Hoth, but an AT-ST, Probe Droid, or even a Rebel Transport Ship would have been nice instead.

Alternate version of the Phasma/Finn fight from TLJ! I like this version a lot better.

It's an interesting alternate take but I prefer the actual fight we got as brief as it was. This approach called out Phasma for being a self-preservationist but the actual clash only lasted for like 5 seconds this time.

I'm actually pretty glad they didn't use that take. The sight of yet ANOTHER character losing a hand in that sort of comical, nonchalant fashion would have served as more of a punchline, and would have officially made the loss of a hand into Star Wars longest, running, gag. It came off as almost slapstick.

I don't understand how a weapon like that relying on kinetic energy can cut through her like that. Break the hell out of it maybe but clean cut? No?

Happy to have seen it, as cool as the hip firing was really was over the top fan service.

Black Series Luke and LandSpeeder on Amazon for 19.99

Tim · 03-10-2018, 08:25 PM

If anyone comes across another Rex and your wanting to trade it hit me up

En Sabah Nerd · 03-11-2018, 03:10 AM

My local Walmart FINALLY put up a price sticker on the shelf for their exclusive Kylo Ren so I guess he should be coming out soon. Time-wise it makes sense since the movie is about to be available for home release.

tgbobafett · 03-17-2018, 06:47 PM

I went ahead and got my voltron out of layaway from TrU (before they shut down sometime or another heh), then found Ezra with his speeder for only $4 from Dirt Cheap, then I finally found a 6" Ahsoka Tano at retail for $20 a store called Fred's (of all places)!!

Black Arbor · 03-17-2018, 07:39 PM

Got these vintage Kenners from a friend, but I'm not really into Star Wars at the moment. Anybody wanna take 'em off my hands?

Just shoot me a PM haha

Nice score. As a fellow Texan I find it worth mentioning that I found that 6" Ahsoka at HEB way more than any other store, of course now my HEB is still choking on early Rogue One stuff.

En Sabah Nerd · 03-17-2018, 09:50 PM

Gollum has finished his shower and is ready to watch some evening news on his La-Z-Boy.

Yeah unfortunately from what I have seen in person like half of all Ahsoka's have had bad paint. I guess it's kind of understandable but it's still lame that you have to really sift through to get one that's acceptable.

I've wanted Sabine for quite awhile, but just recently snagged her in a trade. She's a pretty sweet figure. Glad to have her.
