The Listening Post.

I remember initially being a little miffed having to go through ebay to grab the black series at £30 plus P&P way back, at least I was able to pick up the VC release at retail though. Its odd really; and I think I said before, I thought that the black series Cara would hang around for a little bit when the first batch got released but she was gone almost instantly, as was IG-11. I am unsure if that is true for the US market, it was for the Uk and from what my friend over in Hong Kong told me, he couldn't find her at all out there.

Now, for the interesting bit. We was bound to get another run, like the Durasteel Mando' and carbon version and by the way those I found easier to get hold of. Then the apocalypse started, China ramped up anti western sentiment ten fold floods bursting dams and crop famine had a massive impact in the Asia-Pacific. So the odds really stacked up against us in that respect, did they already have a bunch in component bins ready to go. Whilst Hasbro has stopped its production, I can guarantee you that we will see a fair few trickle out be it loose or boxed and will we see some of these in bargain stores (it happens a lot).

Id be interested in case composition for the UK and compare it to those state side, as we do get different packing fills at times too. Was she a short fill?

hmmm

Be quick if you want one...

Well, I decided to treat myself in the future. Pre ordered the Deluxe set as that sculpt is just amazing in my opinion. Pricey but it is two figures, so works out not so bad, a standard version will be available at some point but honestly go for the deluxe. DB94, will he be added to the shelf? :lol:

I'm really looking forward to him being released, I have held off getting a Boba for a long time so its just right for me. I do hope we get a Fennec Shand, the two would look just perfect.

Snow Speeder Luke from Hot Toys up for pre order, a long wait though. Ill be getting him, I kick myself for letting go of the sideshow version long ago and it left a hole in my heart almost....Id of really of liked to of seen a Hoth battle gear Luke but probably wishful thinking.

That fett double pack looks ace mate, wish i had the magic beans to afford it it'll look the part once you get it, as for the trooper figure looks good but i'm sticking to OT only
That Luke is amazing, how long before he is available

March to April 2022 :shock:, a very long wait but gives enough time to hide some shillings away for him. He would look very nice with a Degobah Yoda I think. Hmmmm

Quick if you missed out on him a while ago, Black Series Death Star escape Luke. Seems that SAF have found a few, funny really as I was looking for one a short while ago so im glad I waited.

Again...be quick if you missed out.

I'm really surprised Hasbro didn't do some of the other knights of Ren, whilst the movies are not my cup of tea the figure itself is rather nice. I certainly didn't see many of these sitting on pegs when they first got released., in fact I think I only came across two and not in the same store and they didn't sit for long at all.


I hope SAF digs up some C3POs, I need two........ Really want to do a K3P0, If I can get a 3rd ill do an R3P0 as well.... :shock: :roll: :lol:

Pre order for Hot Toys Bo-Katan is now up, really looking forward to her being released.

Now I could be wrong but 6pm today will see a pre order go up at Star Action Figures

Will it be the Wallmart exclusives? Think Ill be adding Leia and Paploo (really need to stick to black series and hot toys :lol: ) They do look nice though.

These do look really nice...but I just can't keep up....so many new figures being released...I shouldn't complain....but I am.
I just don't have the money or the space....
Am I the only one that is feeling this way?

Your not alone mate, these should be right up my street, being original trilogy but i don't have the wall space for them, seems a shame to buy them and just box them up, so much to buy, so little space
I'm sticking to only must have items, not sure what they may be, but these are a pass for me, that is until i change my mind :lol:

Really wanted to post these earlier but would of been a bit naughty..... 8)

I just preordered the Luke, i know its the dagobah one in black, but i like it, the others look ok, but this one i was familiar with the book at least

I didn't get the Dagobah Luke cardback so didn't mind getting this one, think its really random for Hasbro to include a Ysalamiri with him though. Think ill see if I can place it on Thrawn.

I ordered Jaxxon and Carnor as well (Now correctly named ''Kir Kanos''), a named ERG character is always nice. As for Jaxxon? Hmmm purely an oddity and something different as I put it. No idea who ill put him with though, rerelease of Dengar, General Lando??? (Hasbro have mentioned a release for Lando already).

One can hope....

Kapow toys have a few figures on sale, none mint packaging though.

4-lom might be of interest to some of you, I grabbed one.

Dagobah Luke and Yoda two pack for £24, though they say none mint I was impressed with the last 4lom that rocked up with only a slight unnoticeable mark on the back.
