Bit late to the game,

Black series Clone Wars Bad batch
Hunter
Crosshair
Asajj Ventress

Ordered these three, id of got the case but no idea what the other two are yet. All three are very nice indeed, hopefully we get the entire batch of them......Ill get my coat.

Also a case with a few unannounced
Aura sing?
Bo Katan? (YES PLEASEEEEEE)

Also for our VC collectors
Snaggletooth

Sundancer Squadron · Nov 13, 2020

Thets add some colour and thoughts.

I do like all three of these, and we will defiantly get the full gang and i'm shuddering at the thought of who will be an Amazon exclusive.....
I'm liking the colour of Asajj, however I do feel the loincloth should defiantly be soft goods. Hopefully we will see more to come with this line.

I like him even though hes essentially a repack/repaint but it is done well, and i'm all for giving other and newer collectors to obtain often long gone figures, I'm not sure on the image choice though however it isnt bad; as for the name pill? I hope Hasbro put the original name on the pill to be honest.

Sundancer Squadron · Nov 13, 2020

Now the question is, will we see Bo Kataan in the Clone Wars line to go with the night owls or will she appear in the Mandalorian line....Hmmm Both? :shock:

MrGudz · Nov 13, 2020

They do look very nice. I hope we get the Mandos from the latest episode. Some fantastic armour designs.

Sundancer Squadron · Nov 16, 2020

Up for pre order on star action figures tonight.

Think Kuiil has got to be the best, I do hope we get a beasty for him to ride at some point...Come on Hasbro....

MrGudz · Nov 16, 2020

Moff Gideon looks slightly psychotic :lol:

Sundancer Squadron · Nov 17, 2020

Hmm yes he does, I hope he looks better in hand to be honest. :lol:

Kapow toys have some Falcons back in stock in case anyone missed out

Sundancer Squadron · Nov 18, 2020

I do like the odd storm trooper even though I dont have many, I much rather go for more unique looking versions so this dude I wouldnit mind grabbing. I think hes next in line as well as the Death Trooper, simple repack that we already have from Rogue One and the Carbon Credit MOCs' to cant be far off.

In case you missed them.....

Bly (Is he the corrected paint app?) Let us know if you grab one.

Sundancer Squadron · Nov 29, 2020

Spotted a few goodies so thought id better share with you all

Kapow Toys have a few good offers
Death Star troopers,I have bagged two; I am sure these are the photo real updated ones and not the older ones that are on the 40th anniversary cards.
£7.95 each, apparently these will arrive Monday so ill give a heads up on what version they land.
https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/star-wars-black-series-death-star-trooper.html

Error box Yavin Luke
https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/star-wars-black-series-luke-skywalker-yavin-ceremony.html

In Demand Toys
Black Series Hoth Leia £8.99, perfect for opening in my opinion so you can save the carded version. Despite the reboxes of her over the past years, shes still really good.
https://www.indemandtoys.co.uk/product/star-wars-black-series-princess-leia-hoth-2/

Comics and Cocktails
Degobah Luke and Yoda, £21.99 Hands down probably the best of the lot and id seriously grab one if you havent already.

cheers mate. very tempted.

Sundancer Squadron · Nov 30, 2020

Just landed, they are indeed the photo printed version. Go and grab a couple and don't feel bad about it. (do we ever?) :lol:

BobbyCheese74 · Dec 2, 2020

Noticed this too on kapowtoys, if you collect the retro figures, Moff Tarkin always pricey on evilbay because only bought with game, reduced to a tenner, beauty

And at a good price.

Sundancer Squadron · Dec 14, 2020

I kind of get the feeling the initial production run of these was rather low, or the UK just did not get that many to start with.

Sundancer Squadron · Dec 15, 2020

Bo-Katan up for pre order at star action figures, shes a mmmmmm :shock: 8) :lol:
A few archive line figures are also available to pre order, death trooper shoretrooper and a hover tank pilot.

https://www.staractionfigures.co.uk/F1863.html

monkey_roo · Dec 15, 2020

I've ordered the archive ones, and will order the other achieve 50th ones when available, but only just realised there are 2 waves of archive figures already out there (without the 50th) looked on evilbay and not paying those prices, but will have to keep an eye out since i can't stand not have a pull sub-lines like that

Sundancer Squadron · Dec 15, 2020

Yeah I didnt bother with the older arhive figures as it was only a matter of time before a Boba got repacked (and it did) IG-88 seems to be a bit costly at the moment, I should get a Boskk. He seems easily available still so dont pay silly money for him.

I really did hope that Hasbro would of done all of the bounty hunters on the 40th cards to go with Boba, but it wasnt to be. I stuck in an order for Bo-Katan, two shore troopers and two sandpeople, kind of wished they had just reboxed them so I can open them without trashing the packaging. :roll:

Cody, Hoth Han, Luke and Thrawn ill grab when they are up.

monkey_roo · Jan 1, 2021

Any idea when Cody, Hoth Han, Luke and Thrawn will be up? can see ID Toys and SA have them on site but nothing to order?

Sundancer Squadron · Jan 1, 2021

I'm getting word of a couple of weeks for the pre orders to become available, however its more likely that as soon as they are up they are from in hand stock so we shouldnt have to long to wait to get them in our hands.

monkey_roo · Jan 1, 2021

Hope they have enough.
In my lego world there was a bunch of new sets out today and with them some 'freebies' - namely the Harry Potter Book of Monsters - promotion was meant to last a month. By 11am today all new sets where on 60 day back order all the freebies that were mean to last a month gone.....

People are starved for things to do and buy so things flying off the digital shelves right now - FYI I missed out because I was too slow

Sundancer Squadron · Jan 1, 2021

Monkey, you missed out not because you are slow but up against technology. Bots.....That is what it has come down to, just about everything is getting snapped up for flipping. :evil:

monkey_roo · Jan 1, 2021

I love the 21st Century........

Sundancer Squadron · Jan 21, 2021

Another batch of the Vintage Collection Action Figure Exclusive Din Djarin, grab one if you missed him last time.

https://www.staractionfigures.co.uk/F0880-RR.html

monkey_roo · Jan 25, 2021

Pre-Orders are now up on both IDT and SAF for the Han, Luke, Cody, thrawn figures

Sundancer Squadron · Jan 26, 2021

Cheers Monkey, Han and Luke and cody on pre order. Undecided on Thrawn but I might. :roll: :lol:

MrGudz · Jan 27, 2021

I'm undecided on this wave. I'm at the point where I'm thinking of focusing on The Mandalorian due to space.

Sundancer Squadron · Jan 29, 2021

Damn, I really have some catching up to do. Constantly drained of energy and enthusiasm for anything is taking its toll for sure. Anyway thets have a look at what is coming, and I will give some opinions and thoughts...

Kenner colour inspired 6'' black series cardbacks for the 50 years of Lucas Films. Obi Wan, Jawa and Greedo. No Han with Greedo? These I think will be unfortunately Amazon exclusives, these are not my cup of tea. No issue with them in particular but I did hope we would get a new photo real Obi and a rerelease of Greedo for those that didn't get a chance to pick them up long ago. Maybe we will though; Greedo I feel would be hard to improve on if at all possible and Obi Wan isnt to bad, just a face paint improvement would be sufficient. Please, Hasbro Id like a decent old man Ben. That would give you a good excuse to do an improved Tatooine Luke, and R2.

Now this little lot has peaked my curiosity, is this a return of the expanded universe but for the Black Series line? I hope so. I really enjoy unique characters, especially from the comics. I have no idea what the packaging will be like, maybe something similar to the gaming greats line. Will we get a Mara Jade? Some new Jedi figures? Jaxxon is a really interesting choice, so will we see a version of Han to go with him? I dont think we will see these for a fair while though but who knows. These are ticking some boxes for me for sure.

Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazon are also rumoured for the Black Series line, not for me but anything Cantina related in 6'' will please a few of you I am sure.

Sundancer Squadron · Jan 29, 2021

A little addition that I don't think we will see for a while but comes from within Hasbro, and its not mentioned anywhere else. We may get a Death star gunner for the black series and VC line. Now I dont know if this will be in the original trilogy packaging or the Mandalorian line up. Did you spot them? I know I did even if it was only for a split second. Two please Hasbro...

So what do you all think? It looks like Hasbro are testing the waters with some of the more obscure and unique characters from the comics and legends so hopefully they will be successful and sell well. Now I know for many of you, myself included space is always a premium. Collecting both vintage modern and 6th scale really does make things problematic so we have to pick and choose, so ill try and post what I feel will be of interest to the majority of you here.

You can find other details of future releases over on Yakface too.

A pick of some of the best channels on youtube that are really worth subscribing too and will give you something to do for a while. 8)
