Star Wars General: So Artistically Done Edition

>>6463316
So TVC is dead on arrival from everything they've shown. Sucks, cause I was excited for a moment there. Good game, Hasbro.

>>6463327
You've got the Hovertank coming so even if wave 1 ends up stacking up in the stores the tank will be a good addition to the collection.

It's annoying with the repacks but that's hasbro.
I picked up a Darth Maul TBS figure and got it out, his arm fell off. Did I get a bootleg?
It seems to be legitimate, has the recyclable logo on the packaging.

I don't mind TVC repacks, the line is for collectors and it would be weird if the main characters of the new movies don't get releases in that nice package, they could have spaced it out a little.

>>6463332
I think all bootleg Black Series have a barcode with the words Sandtrooper above it.
I noticed that sometime in the last year or two a bunch of retailers on Amazon and some actionfigure sites restocked Maul. In the same way a couple months ago there surfaced a bunch of Han Solo Stormtroopers and old box Chewbaccas. I always wonder if these are bootlegs since if it is a lost shipment, there weren't solid cases for these figures.

We're gonna be drowning in Finn and Ms. Swan pegwarmers again this Christmas. Aren't you excited?

what is suposed to be this thing?

>>6463398
Nobody knows. If only it said what it was on the box.

>>6463398
A ship designed so they could film something artistic and impressive looking by giving them a reason to shit out red dirt.

>>6463398
it's design looks really weird... cabin on the far right motor on the center, a wing on the left...

>>6463383
I checked that, and it does say Darth Maul on the barcode so most of the checks seem right so it must be legitimate. The figure is a little rubbery though but it's hard to tell if it's just a shoddy job by Hasbro or a bootleg.


Should I buy a case of figures to get Revan or import some Sh Figuarts?

Also if I order from Amazon UK the product and delivery needs to be below £39 right to avoid the import tax/charge right?
Thinking of picking up Mace, the Clone trooper and some Battle droids but over time.

>>6463316
>bring back TVC
>Over 50% repacks and more than half of the repacks are existing shelfwarmers.

Fml

>>6463407
Buy the case. I bought the case back when Revan was fresh and was able to turn the other figures on Ebay so I even got him for free but that prolly won't work now. I inflated the Troopers and Sabine to 45 and 50€ but now some shops carry them for less so they won't turn as well as back then.

I think 39 pounds was for gifts between private people and something like 19 pound for buying stuff. I am from another EU country and it is always 45€ for gifts and 22€ for buying (but technically 25-26€ depending on the exchange rate because they only start taking taxes when they get at least 5€ out of it).
Because of this I got only a couple of Figuarts and rather buy model kits.
I like Nippon-Yasan and Solaris Japan because they undervalue to whatever you want and nobody bothers to check packages when you take the cheapest and longest shipping method. You are fucked if it's lost but I never had a package from asia go missing.

>member the snowspeeders?
>ah! member the B-wings too?

>>6463454
I member!

Who are the best escorts to flank Thrawn?

My Krennic has death troopers, my Vader has Fett and a Death Star Commander. Palp has Royal guards. Should I just do storm troopers for Thrawn?

>>6463465
What about a couple of Death Squad Commanders with some parts-and-head-swaps?

>>6463465
Vader should have two Stormtroopers and Thrawn two Navy Troopers / Death Squad Commanders

>>6463454

All that plus Luke having an A-wing on the island for some reason just pisses me off.

When does Thrawn hit retail?

>>6463765

Force Friday.

>>6463697
well for a space ship sounds ok but for a planet gravity flyer the desing of >>6463398
looks... not the most apropiate one

>>6463398
Jesus Christ this is the most retarded SW vehicle I have seen to date

The prototype TIEs from the old X-Wing games had more pleasing aesthetics

>>6464018
the disney era designs have been pretty meh so far, makes me pretty glad george made the prequels considering all of the amazing stuff that came from it.

>>6463398
if the cockpit were in front of the engine, this would just be a normal ass plane.

>>6463401
it's literally a b-wing without the top wing

>>6464036
Agreed. At least those had some inspired designs.

Got figuarts R2 and C3P0. They are pretty great.

R2 could stand some minor improvements, but threepio is easily the best I've seen of him at this scale. Both may be.

>>6464172
What's wrong with his eyes?

>>6464211
Nothing, the phone camera just has problems picking up on the slatted lense with an embedded pupil thing it has going on.

Here's another shot I took in my photobooth.

Essentially, they didn't try to backpaint the eyes with yellow to simulate the LED lights, they just used a clear lense with the pupil behind it.

>>6464172
>>6464267

They look so good, but it sold out before I knew the pre orders were up. I'm crying.

Who's done with their General Grievous model kit?

>>6466887
Still waiting for a parcel. Should be in next week.

Goddammit, I'm never going to get a Revan for retail price, am I? Fucking Force Awakens/Last Jedi bullshit.

>>6467135
I can almost guarantee you'll never find him at a store. But keep an eye on Amazon and you'll score one eventually. I did back in early June.

>>6467135
>Fucking Force Awakens/Last Jedi bullshit.

It really has screwed everything up. Rogue One, more than anything. And it's not going to get better, that's the shitty thing. This is how it's going to be with Disney shitting out sequels and spin-offs every year. The toy market can only handle so much...and it's not going to handle it well. You thought Phantom Menace's glut was bad? Shit...

>>6464172
>>6464267
Still mad they essentially lied with the prototype Threepio being chrome and weathered.

Still looks good, but mostly because of the sculpt and crisp detailing. Paint is a major disappointment.

>>6464428
they went back up on hlj about a month before release, thats how i got mine.

>>6463316
Is there a list of what will be the next few 6" waves?

>>6467236
Yeah, it kinda ruins Leia's "We're on a diplomatic mission" when Vader is like "Bitch, I just saw you leave with those Deathstar plans 10 min ago."

>>6467256
Here's what's supposed to be dropping on Force Friday:

Wave 1:
2x Darth Vader (Episode IV – 40AC repack)
1x Foxtrot 1 – Rey (Episode VIII)
1x Cool Beta – Luke Skywalker (Episode VIII)
1x Kylo Ren (Episode VIII)
1x Grand Admiral Thrawn (Star Wars Rebels – SDCC repack)
1x Hera Syndulla (Star Wars Rebels)
1x Stormtrooper (TBS “Orange” #09/40AC repack)

Wave 2:
1x Snowtrooper (Wave 9 repack)
1x AT-AT Driver (Wave 9 repack)
1x Beta 1 – Poe Dameron (Episode VIII)
1x Victor 1 – Kylo Ren (Episode VIII) – wave 1 carry forward
1x Alpha 1 – Chewbacca
1x Victor Guard 2 – Elite Praetorian Guard (Episode VIII)
1x General Leia (Episode VII)
1x Beta 2 – Finn (Episode VIII)

Supposedly both waves are dropping at once along with wave 1 of the 5POA 3.75", so there's going to be a lot and that's just figures.

>>6463398
Another godawful vehicle design from Disney.
Now that they're probably done stealing all the unused McQuarrie concepts, they have to make their own shit.

>>6467261
Vader didn't see Leia, and the opening for ANH is not 10 mins after rogue one

Can anyone with the mafex Rey see if she can sit down and recreate the scene where she has the pilot helmet on after she's done eating on Jakku?

>>6467292
Why the codenames for figures of characters we knew we were getting?

Spoiler alert! All the key characters from the first movie are coming back for the second movie!

>>6467330
He sees the plans delivered to her ship and watches it fly off into the distance. Presumably from context of A New Hope's first sequence, he immediately got on his star destroyer and followed her. The 10 min part was exaggeration for dramatic effect.

>>6467135
just bite the bullet and get it for cheapest you can. he's not going down.

Are Black Series officer pauldrons removable and do they fit the Figuarts Stormtrooper and First Order Trooper?

>>6467292
>implying any of that is true

>>6467400
Prove me wrong

>>6463427
Damn, really? I got the Revan wave early but after Revan couldn't move a single one at retail. Oh, lots of people whining they couldn't find them, but apparently too poor to pay $20 and shipping.

>>6467244
He looks exactly like the one they've been bringing to shows

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4S7k85xvLA

And the one in the promo pics, while not weathered, isn't chrome. It's got a dull reflection, which this one has. You can see R2 being reflected in that pic. I think they just color corrected the piss out of it in the promo shots.

>>6464267
>>6464172
>>6467441

This looks so much better than chrome anyways. He isn't even that chrome looking most of the time.

>>6467441
They definitely showed off a chrome 3PO at multiple shows

>>6467135
If you can get him for $30 I'd say he's worth it. Honestly not the best BS figure imo. I got him for MSRP, and wasn't entirely impressed. The character itself is what makes the figure worth it. He'll be scalped forever, so probably better get him at ~$30 if you can.

Maybe right at the announcement or early promos, but they've had the one like the release one trotted out since early this year.

>>6467449
This one in particular is blatantly a rough demo, since you can see how uneven and flawed the paint was.

>>6467416
You're wrong, shill.

I'm not into star wars toys, whenever i look at what's on the shelves, it seems that there are a tons of different lines. This confuses me so much that i don't buy.
Do you find it repulsive too?
How do you keep track of every lines/gimmick they make?

>>6467491

Yeah, it's become Hasbro's defacto attempt at getting money, money, money for all their lines. Flood the market with tons of random shit and hope it all moves.

The 3" line used to be all you needed to worry about. But since those suck these days, and it's likely the articulated 3" figure line is going to flop hard because of more poor choices...yeah...it's hard to know what to want or buy.

>>6467448
Fuck it, somebody put it out as a BIN on ebay for $30 shipped and I snagged that.

>>6467446
>Threepio: beautiful chrome finish and less dead eyes
>Artoo: no horrible casting seams down the front of his dome

Don't care what anyone says, Bandai dropped the ball with these two. The prototypes were literally perfect and they didn't deliver, just like with Han Solo. I don't know if it's larger production runs or just Bandai taking it for granted that idiots will buy anything with "Star Wars" written on the box regardless of quality, but the quality across the board on the SW line keeps going down.

>>6467491
Same problem with their transformers stuff, used to be concise single line with different sized figures, now it's just the same characters in different shitty sizes.

>>6467491
It's a fucking mess these days. What collectors tend to buy is the 6" Black series, but it's Star Wars so some will buy literally everything. The 5POA 3.75" figures are garbage, and the Super Articulated Vintage Collection returning in 2018 will most likely flop too like this anon said >>6467513
The character lineup is garbage:

Rey
Kylo
First Order Stormtrooper
Doctor Aphra
Hoth Rebel Trooper
Jyn Erso
Cassian Andor
Tank Driver

Unless those cards have absolutely beautiful artwork, the only one I'll buy is Rey. I have no idea what Hasbro is doing anymore

>>6467491
>>6467619
For an idea of what's coming next year:

http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/2017-07-31-looking-into-the-future-of-the-vintage-collection/


Finn
Phasma
Deathtrooper
Leia Blue Dress
Luke TFA
Poe
Rey TLJ

Han Solo
Chewbacca
Stormtrooper
Vader
Ponda Baba
Momaw Nadon

Baze Malbus
Chirrut Imwe
YAKFACE.

Oh and the Hovertank.

>>6467552
It's been like that for ALL of Bandai's lines for the past 1-2 years unfortunately

>>6467527
Nice! I don't mean to poo all over the figure. $30 is a good deal if comes down to it. The 3.75" still goes for $50 to $60 online, and I don't see Hasbro (Disney) bringing him back anytime soon. I like him, just wish he was a bit taller and wasn't so loose. Otherwise, spot on.

>>6467690
Do you know how the Greivous model kit is? From what I've seen he looks like the best we've gotten.

>>6467683

Watch, the hovertank will end up being undersized and lack all the paint detail you'd expect. All cause Hasbro's shit now.

>>6467619
Kinda makes sense, the main character and main villain from TFA, the 2 main characters from RO and a few army-builders. I suppose most of those are repacks of the Walmart exclusive figures... which I'm ok with considering I never bought any of those due to their pricepoint.

(No idea who Dr Aphra is tho)

>>6467449
if you look at threepios thigh you can see the paint seem to crack, kind of veiny.

>>6467704
Perhaps but from the pictures and the stuff hasbro have said I actually hold out hope for this one.

They already said it's correctly scaled and would be what we expect from a TVC vehicle and you just know the backlash and goodwill hasbro have for doing it would be lost.

>>6467390
This is the first order pauldron on the R1 figuarts trooper. The head doesnt click back on with it on. If you were to file it down, it would work

>>6467710

The pricepoint is going to be the same. And anyone that wanted the figures bought them, or got them when walmart put them on clearance. They're feeding us vomitted up figures and the line's going to suffer for it.

Now we get to hear about how "there wasn't any support for the line" when it goes full retail again. Fuckin' Hasbro.

Anyone given a head a "hair transplant" so to speak?

Was thinking of putting Kylo's hair onto the Death Star commander and then that on a painted Luke Skywalker Bespin body to create a Jacen Solo.

>>6468206
You'd have to completely destroy the Kylo face and the back of the commander's head with a large dremel tool. Then you'd have to continually adjust them so that they fit together seamlessly while making sure to not punch through to the outside of the hair.

Difficult to pull off, but go for it, it's certainly possible

>>6467968
We don't have Walmart stores here, these figures are only available in comic shops or online stores, and for absolutely ridiculous prices (around $30, often even more for the most sought after characters).

>>6468213
I have to acquire both 2 Luke's and 2 Death Star Commander's which seems hard to do at the moment with Luke being pricey.

The DSC should turn up soon though.


Any other head sculpts I could use that ~roughly match Jacen?

>>6468233

They'll be quite ridiculous when you get them now.

>>6468293
Funko Legacy Brienne would be good if you want shorter hair, and it'd probably be easier to remove from the head as it's a separate piece. You'd have to paint it though

As for a face sculpt, the new Marvel Legends Star Lord from the Ego 2 pack would be good

>>6468333
Is it the same as the basic version?

>>6468315
kek.
I thought this was a joke at first but it could actually work quite well if done right.
Not sure I I could paint it well enough though.


Might just go back to trying to 3d sculpt it and then painting it from there.

We haven't got it yet in the UK but it will be probably the american price.

Mate, I say to say it but those sayings don't apply anymore. Cold War jargon does not mean what it used too

>>6468571
>>6468589
I haven't seen that figure in Singapore but the TRU here has been jacking up the prices of their exclusives too. They are usually 1.5x the MSRP of regular retail items.

>>6468503
The eyes aren't printed. They just look to be highlighted.

>>6467690
You know what? As someone who owns an ungodly amount of Figuarts stuff I think I agree with this. I've been buying less and less over the last year. Their facial printing tech keeps getting worse, not better, too.

Only their model kits and the Robot Damashii ANIME line are showing any real constant improvement.

The universe is more believable that way. Having new ships for the sake of having new ships is fucking stupid and half the reason the prequels were trash.

>>6469123
You're an idiot and have no idea how advancements and evolution of technology wirk. I'm betting you still use a CRT monitor too. Christ.

>>6467292
Sweet, another chance to miss out on getting several stormtroopers

>>6468907
The whole political thing going on has really ruined "resistance" Its made the movies extra cringe inducing.

>>6468907
They didn't even try to make them look different this time. Also where were they in TFA? It looked like the Reb... Resistance only had X-wings.
And Rebels established they were the oldest starfighters used by the Rebellion too.

>>6468909
Wow, now I know why they just copied and pasted the other designs from the OT. But hey, I guess you don't have time to create anything good when you have to release a movie every year.

>>6468909
Have they already ran out of OT stuff to rip off and have moved on to ripping off the prequels? That's looks like a crappily updated STAP to me.

>>6469214
>Also where were they in TFA?

They have to dole out the nostalgia grabs slowly. Now that they suckered everyone with TFA they can put other things in, regardless of whether it makes sense storywise.

>>6468909
How is this meant to be useful? It offers the ppoloceman no protection, holds no gear, can't haul anything.

>>6469287
Helps them go fast.

>>6469144
I'm pretty sure we had an argument like this once and it was pointed out that the U.S. government is still using fighter jet models from the 70s and that the newer versions currently in production that were based off that model aren't drastically different in overall design from said 70s model.

>>6468907

Again, there's bare plastic inbetween the dots/pixels in figures like this.
Look at the lips, where it's totally obvious that its a low res print.

Whereas with Hasbro figures, they have solid paint apps throughout the entire face. On figures like Starlord, you can see that only the edges of his beard being without a solid paint app underneath and you start seeing the bare plastic.

So it makes sense that a beard is patchy at the thinnest points. Whereas the lips being patchy on this Obi Wan? Wut.

>>6469555
No, you're right, smearing it all the way up on to the ears without control and still having dots is totally great.

Here's a clearer photo on the paint apps on his lips.

So Hasbro paints their figures so that they look more solid, because they still use tampographs and spray masks. It's the same thing DCC has been doing as well.

That's cool how you don't remember the criticism i've made for prints or have a really selective memory, since i even stated it within this thread

Remember this pic?
Look at all the unprinted spots because of the low resolution of the print job. It's the same thing on the Figuarts.

On Hasbro/DCC figures, they apply spray paints, add tampographs, so that it looks natural. They use the dots as effects, as shading, shadowing, or highlights, just like you see in quality art. It's still not as good as actual fine spray apps to shadow/highlight/shade, but the effect is still there. It still looks solid though, because of the paint underneath the dots.

Dots with bare plastic showing through?
That's 70s/80s quality print.

>still ignoring the main point of contention
Are you really this blind?

Again, the BARE PLASTIC is showing inbetween printed dots on the Figuarts. IT's the same way on most print media before the 90s, where the paper isn't fully colored.

Again, Hasbro and DCC avoid that look by applying paint apps where they should. The irises are tampographs. The whites of the eyes are spray masks. Same with the lips. They apply dots over this, so it doesn't look like a 70s quality print job.
Here's modern print media. Notice that they still use dots, but it's way tighter and there are barely any spaces where the bare paper is showing. The way Hasbro/DCC does it is even better because there is a solid paint app under the dots, so that the bare plastic doesn't show where it shouldnt (eyes, lips, face masks, etc).

>>6469877
The only thing I'm confused about is where you think you can say a bunch of things, get called on one of them, then try to claim that only one of the things you said actually matters.

That doesn't excuse your biasness or hypocricy, it just makes it look worse. It's not something a reasonable or sound person would do.

Someone said it was hypocritical to like the way Hasbro uses their print apps, because they don't understand and have been ignoring how they're applied differently.

The Vintage Collection being repacks - does that mean, literally, that they are the same figures that were sold in another line, like the Black Series? Did they open up a bunch of Black Series and repackage them or something? Are there any differences in the figures at all?

So, for instance, with Bastila, she has a Black Series figure and a Vintage Collection figure, the latter of which seems to go for way more. Is it usually the case that Vintage Collection ends up having more value because they are generally considered 'superior' in some way?

Thanks for your response.

Here's the evolution of the fighter jets. F-16 to 22 is the biggest change, and not drastically different from each other. And we still use the F-16 model even though it's over 40 years old because they are inexpensive to produce and maintain.

You're comparing Y-wings to B-wings when you should be comparing Jedi Starfighters to Tie fighters. Lol.

But that's a really marked difference. Stealth went from being used for spy planes, to bombers, to regular fighters.

The F35 in your picture is cheating, since it's a cheaply done stealth fighter to be sold to everyone. It's like Tie Fighter to TIE Advance or TIE Intercepter.

Here's a real evolution and they're all marked differently, except for the Super Hornet from the regular Hornet.
The difference between fighters from 40s to 60s was wider.

Even in the evolution of stealth, the F-117 and B-2 were derived from the german engineered Ho 229 design. The jump to the Raptor, as you said, was to combine elements of stealth and bomber into the fighter design.

And that conparison to tie fighters is exactly what I'm saying. It would make sense for the First Order and the Resistance to continue using old models like TIE and X-wing for cost effectiveness and for newer ships to just be improved updates of older ships.

Yeah, TIE Fighter to TIE ADvanced/Interceptor happens inbetween 4 years (F18 to Super Hornet happens inbetween 10 years), NOT 30 years between Return of the Jedi to TFA.
In 30 years P51 Mustangs to F14 Tom Cat. From the F15 to the F22 Raptor. The difference in tech/shape is huuuge.
In TFA? They went from TIE Fighter to Black TIE Fighter with red stripes. That shit is the SAME SIZE as the original. Whereas the German Ho you're talking about is a midget compared to the 30 year old b2 bomber (F117 is almost 40 years old), and the shape is also very different.

The differences between these aren't 1:1.2.5 like you see with OT and the NT. The difference is more like the OT vs the PT. The XWing wannabe thing in RotS? It's almost twice as big as the XWing. The new XWing vs Old Xwing? Like 2 feet.

TFA is nothing but nostalgiafodder where they're too afraid to change anything but the colors and the shape of nozzles.

>>6470665
This.

This is my problem.

The variation in these ships after 40 years is typically PAINT.

>>6470665
I believe I mentioned earlier that the F-15 is about 40 years old and we still use them in the U.S. military.

Also, the only difference between the Ho 229 and B-2 are the angular design and added points in the wing.

>It would make sense for the First Order and the Resistance to continue using old models like TIE and X-wing for cost effectiveness

That depends.

We saw how the PT an evolution that morphed in to the OT. So, we know they upgrade often and it's obviously not much of a problem for them to put out new designs (cost probably isn't much of a factor). The gap is bigger with the ST and there's too many OT designs or slight modifications of the same.

Don't forget being about 44 feet longer, 117 feet wider, and 9 feet taller. So it's more than 2x bigger.
So what about the XWing? 2 feet difference in length. TIE Fighter? about 5 feet difference in wings


The F15 is still used today because we really don't need to make something new. Same with the Abrams and Hornet. They get updated and upgraded, but it's mostly the same (Super Hornet is actually about 1/4th bigger than the F18), because we're not fighting any major country that can actually fight back.

Considering that in the new trilogy, they're fighting ACTIVE battles, and supposedly creating new things, they're not fucking North Korea.
It's a cold war scenerio where the "resistance" gets funding from the US like NATO and the New Order is... well, east Germany but with USSR funds and more neo-nazism.
All the high tech shit that we got today (internet!) is all thanks to the Cold War, because it was two powers actively trying to one up each other, and you're saying that two powers would do JACK SHIT in that time?

Maybe the Resistance had no money to make bigger improvements to their existing models. Maybe the First Order spent all their R&D money turning an entire planet into a fucking doomsday weapon that literally uses the power of the sun to kill multiple planets at a time.

>>6470808
It's an improvement. I'm sure it doesn't REQUIRE an extra man in there as a gunner and that one man could fly it himself and work the forward guns, but with a second gunner, they could also defend their backs from those pesky X-wings that always manage to maneuver to the original model's defenseless backside.

>>6470990
Maybe both of those leaps in logic further prove what a shittily constructed movie TFA is.

>>6471021
And that's why you're wrong. The TIE was always meant to be fast to outmanuever ships, they only added 2 seats to serve the plot, not in any possible way is it an improvement. It's just another one of those stupid things they shoved in there to try and solve a movie problem they had.

They easily could've used a bomber or, you know, an actual new TIE fighter design to work around it, but then they'd lose the nostalgia jerk off moment.

Don't know what final solutioning means in that context but the Visual Guide says one of Cassians Spec Ops buddies gave her the rank for the final battle so she could have "official" authority over the troops.
The Sargeant name came mostly from early scripts where she was really part of the Alliance. This was obviously changed but Hasbro and some (but not all) toy companies didn't get the memo early enough to change their stuff.

I don't think anything you could call the original cut exists or would be possible to be made. Gareth explained away the shot in the flight control suit as something from an after hours shoot which they did regulary to capture some nice images with no connection to the plot at all which Disney for some retarded reason found ok to use in trailers. There exists a huge amount of stuff made with no connection to the movie and several rewrites and reshoots mean that there is definitely some stuff missing to just go in there and make a completely different cut.

Only thing I would be interested in seeing is the original version of the ground battle where the imperial archive and the giant antenna were two different buildings so Jyn and Cassian had to run across the battlefield under the AT-ACTs with the plans. That's pretty much the only confirmed "deleted scene" which makes no sense to just cut in the movie now with both places as one building.
And the Darth Vader part from the ending was a reshoot so I wonder what the ending would have been originally because I really can't think of any way to end the film without Vaders scene that isn't extremly dissappointing.

>>6470920
They always make way too many of the main dude and Jyn was overproduced after the whining about how hard Rey was to find initially.

>>6471821
>The Sargeant name came mostly from early scripts where she was really part of the Alliance.

Well she was part of Saw Guerrera's faction for a while, even though that's considered a radical branch of the rebellion.

>>6470997
They have a better defensive ability but need twice as many pilots to operate.
Considering the First Order doesn't use clones and relies on kidnapped children from the populations under their control (within a smaller portion of the galaxy than what the Empire used to rule over), it's a waste of pilots.

Wouldn't it be better to have 2 regular TIEs instead of one with a back cannon?

>>6472001

Especially since they didn't improve the ship in any other way, and it's still as fragile as ever, and it still doesn't have shields. It's a retarded ass attempt to add anything.

>>6472015
Like someone said earlier, they're convenient for the plot as it allows two of the main characters to escape in one... it also has the advantage of being an easy to make toy.

Within the SW universe and especially within the movie's context, they make no sense though.

>>6472001
>kidnapped children

Worked for the Jedi Order. Just sayin.

>>6472106
getting parental permission to train their gifted children to use their abilities and join their order is very different from kidnapping kids and brainwashing them to become cannon fodder

>>6472194
But from my point of view the Jedi are evil!

Maybe I am in the minority here, but I would love to see (or know more about) everything that was deleted from the film and the movie before all the re shoots. I really loved Rogue One for what it was and I am interested in what direction it could of taken. Something tells me, all of the re shoots were for good reason.

Thanks for the info.

>>6472194

>>6472642
I think you really need to learn customizing figures if you ever want to see them. I could see 3 inch versions of them getting released or re-released because that line is always much bigger but 6 inch moves at a snails pace in comparision.

>>6472347
>Something tells me, all of the re shoots were for good reason.
Most definitely. The original pitch of the full story had the whole team survive and get on board of a starship or escape pod. The author only did that because he didn't expect Disney to accept a kill them all ending but Kathleen Kennedy immediately said that they should all die because it fits the story so well.

I really don't think we will ever get a movie of the same style and quality again and it saddens me to no end.

>>6472666
Where were all the many Bothans that died to bring these deathstar plans? Literally my only gripe about the movie. I was lookin forward to those Bothans.

>>6472685
First Death Star is not the Second Death Star. The story of the second DS plans will be called Rogue 2 and involve Bothans.

>>6472690
Oh, you're right, that was in RotJ. I watch them so much sometimes they kinda blur into eachother.

>Star Wars Rogue One 2: A Bothan Story

The mistake they REALLY made was showing existing characters other than Vader and Mon Mothma. Showing Leia and her ship at the end to link the two movies was unnecessary and created plot issues. Vader knows the plans are on the ship and that she's guilty of aiding the rebellion. Makes her come off as a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

Showing Bail Organa showing barely any signs of having aged since Episode III makes you question further why Obi Wan aged so ravagely between the two movies.

Can get the Black Series AT-ST from Walmart for 30. Worth it?

Got one of these at Disneyland a few months ago. I know it's essentially a box, but I ride that Star Tours ride at least 3 times whenever I go, so I couldn't resist.

Plus Disney giving us 3.75 collectors some love when Hasbro was leavin us high and dry.

It also has hidden guns for "pew pew" and a little scout droid thing.

Other features include various sounds (mostly C3PO and R2 banter), opening side doors (exit side activates light and sounds like when you leave the actual ride), and some planet environments that you can slide into the front window that also activate sounds.

Not that much different from old canon. Empire At War had Vader hide in some space mist while watching the Tantive IV get all the plans through a relay station and immediately boarding the ship when the communication ended.

I think Smiths was aged pretty ok for the timespan. Obi-Wan always has the excuse of living in a sandy, hot shithole. That always ages people quite noticeably compared to other places.

>There would probably be more Sith
Remember KOTOR? Sith apprentice has to kill their teacher and that is the way the Sith live.

The Jedi however are the peaceful so they will want more and more becoming Jedi so I do kind of understand with Anakin bringing "balance" by cutting down so many Jedi (although killing every single one probably wasn't a good plan because you cannot have your entire galaxy thriving on murder as the Sith live).

>>6473102

The balance, according to George, could only come from all Dark Side users dying because the Dark Side is a cancer on the Force and isn't supposed to be there.

Which is dumb as fuck, but hey, Star Wars is for kids. For well-written material on the Force, just play KotOR II or read up on the Unifying Force.

>>6473110
It seems true balance would come from learning how to accept the darkside of the force without completely succumbing to it. Y'know, all that emotion, yet peace; passion, yet serenity stuff.

>>6473072
No sadly. I'm gonna build Mickey and Oswald droids next time I go though!

>>6473141
Disney World has protocol droids in their factory now. And an exclusive Chopper. Hopefully they bring them to Disneyland too.

There's also going to be a Disney excludive sandcrawler playset. I'm excited about that. I love me some Jawas.

>>6467491

I only buy OT characters from fully articulated lines and leave all the rest on the shelf.

40th BS Vader is already discounted to $30 at my walmart. Paying $10 for a useless stand is a lot better than $20 for it.

>>6473481
I paid the full forty and don't feel bad about it. It's such a fantastic figure, and the stand isn't useless at all. I've seen some creative uses of it in people's pics here.

>>6473481
Mines at $20 right last I checked. Waiting for them to drop to $10 because they have about 20 of them.

>>6473532
When mine gets to 20, I'm definitely getting a second one. Not sure what I'd do with him, but it's my favorite figure right now so it feels like I should have two.

I have an Oswald droid.

So I found a bunch of Grees at TRU and bought one for $41 Canadian plus tax.
Bad. Don't buy him.
There is no reason to pay extra for it, nothing about it is better than any other Black Series figure, in fact many aspects make it worse than other Black Series figures.
No unmasked head under the helmet, his back antenna keeps falling off and his shoulder pad fell off (I'll have to reglue it.)
His elbows don't even bend to 90 degrees despite being double jointed.
No paint apps on either gun and he can't even hold them with two hands.

>>6473646
Also no weapon storage.
And he can't be positioned to be looking through his binoculars

>>6473632
Vader is the only 40th figure I've ever seen in stores, and it's at Walmart and amazon for 30 right now

>>6473670
online? or at your local stores?

>>6473646
>>6473647
Take him back then.

>>6473646
That leaf price is fucking rough, I feel for 25 he's worth it. Only thing I wish he had was battle damage on his helmet as well.

In fact, it makes sense if the Force is alive and controlling everything, the Jedi are slaves of the force and accept their will. The Sith are the only ones who can control the Force which makes them the only threat to the Force's control over the Galaxy.

Perhaps the Force is a kind of parasitic entity that feeds on control of everything and gives power to those who do its will.

I'm wondering how the fuck Toys R Us is going to have any room for Episode 8 stuff. They refuse to put literally anything on clearance or on sale and they charge more than Wal-Mart and Target. All the Wal-Marts and Targets in my town have gotten rid of their Rogue One stock by marking them down, but Toys R Us still looks like it did Force Friday 2016 in there. Nobody wants Rogue One shit. Force Awakens had a ton of pegwarmers too, but at least their Kylo Rens, Reys, Stormtroopers, and Phasmas sold. Even the main characters and Stormtroopers from the Rogue One line can't sell.

>>6469834

I think I'm finally done with Star Wars.

I weathered the 10 year gap between POTF and POTF2, withstood the super-muscle phase, watched the special editions in theaters, stoically bore the Phantom Menace backlash, survived the frenzy of Hasbro's repaint blitzkrieg, adapted to the pre-order and online collecting community, and now that I finally get to see Luke Skywalker return I'm bored to shit and would rather sell my collection than buy another Toys R'Us Exclusive.

Kill me, friends.

>>6476616
I was just a little kid at the tail end of the Starwars potf line. I had Chewie and Romba figures and nothing else. I loved Starwars but there was no merchandise for most of my childhood.

Then during the span of OTC to VTC we were getting so much cool shit, I couldn't keep up.

And now, though the action figure selection has been lack luster, we're still getting some fun products. I bought a Propel brand TIE fighter drone a few months back, thing is fun as fuck. There's that remote R2D2 that I really wanna get at some point. The AT-AT that has a smartphone App control looks pretty neat too.

Maybe it's because I actually still enjoy playin with my toys, but I don't think there's a lack of fun starwars products.

Prequel aliens were really well designed. All the new aliens just look like brown and orange swollen/deformed human faces.
