Hasbro panel isn't limiting one per person on it btw but I'm stopping by tomorrow to see if I can actually get one.

Thanks! Glad to not have to pay $80+ for the old release online! Haha.

Just ordered HT TFA Han from Timcent on eBay. Had hoped I'd have been able to grab him at celebration but Sideshow hadn't gotten him shipped out completely yet so I paid the $25 markup and guaranteed myself one. Missed on the single version preorders cause I had the two pack on order but Chewie was so bad I canceled.

First one of 2017! Also I love vendors who try to take advantage of people buying HT my friend was with me wanting to buy their first HT and vendors were sky high in pricing and lying. Ended up with a Rey/BB8 set for $300 which I told him to do cause it's an amazing set and a little less than what I paid. Lemme tell ya HT Obi and Rogue One Vader are actually hard as fuck to find around the convention center.

Ebay fees suck...lol. I've sold off a boatload of my collection though. It feels good seeing that money build up.

I hope I experience that one day when I come to my senses and realize collecting is dumb. Until then though...

Out of their packaging, and into action!
It sure is getting crowded in here...
I bet you Nebula will take forever.
Personal opinion, I feel buying TFA Luke is a mistake. He's bound to get a better version for TLJ that looks exactly the same but comes with more stuff.

Yup, and I bet the same will happen to Captain Phasma if they decide to do her again, and actually give her something to do in the movie.

With the leaks about his main costume being different than the TFA ending one I'm not super sure about that. Definitely not risking it.
I hope Phasma actually gets reworked so the rubber suit doesn't suck but I'll buy her again anyway since I buy anything Phasma. She is Harley and I'm Messi in that sense.
Were not so different you and I.

Seems like we might be getting the Battlefront female Tie pilot as a Black Series Gamestop exclusive.

That's cool man. It would be really cool if you can but I understand if it doesn't happen.

Might grab one HT figure today. Kinda want Black Panther.
You could get Tuxedo Joker.
I have him. Do it. I don't believe his solo film version will come out anytime soon.
Of the half dozen Hot Toys that I own, Phasma's probably my least favorite. The MSRP I paid vs the aftermarket price, the pose-ability, paint job (supposed to be battle worn but looks kind of meh)... Not a bad figure overall just probably should have waited to purchase it.
Nice collection. Hasbro should make diorama sets. I think that would make large display shelves even nicer.
I've been thinking of making my own for my Marvel stuff, but I'm very lazy.

Picked up Hera Syndulla's A-Wing from Walmart earlier.
Thanks! I wish they would make those, too. I'd like to give making dioramas a try some day. You should give it a shot, too! Could be fun!Nice collection. Hasbro should make diorama sets. I think that would make large display shelves even nicer.

Looking fantastic! I still prefer the original uniform but that Black Series Thrawn is dope! I just hope the face turns out as flawless as here (not like Sabine). This figure is a must have for me! Now give me a female officer, pls someone! Admiral Sloane would be awesome!
Source? Any pictures of some kind? Would be cool, she looked tough.

Star Wars Black Series Grand Moff Tarkin, Jaina Solo, and a San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive version of Grand Admiral Thrawn in fancy packaging and extra accessories based on his office, as seen in Star Wars Rebels.

Of course they'll acknowledge Jaina when there's money to be made.

People crapped on it but I actually loved it besides the Nerf gun,
Hera is far better quality than the original release.
She won the fan poll last year.

Thanks! I haven't really picked up many games over the past year. I got most of what I've wanted, so I've been focusing on figures and movies lately.
I actually really enjoy shooting at things with the Nerf guns on these things. Haha.

Those knee joints look a bit low on her legs.
KDash31987

I think it's just the way that her double-jointed knees are bent that's making it look weird.
Sorry.

Perspective + it looks like a double joint only bent at the lower end.
Haha, I was posting in the Merch thread at the same time.I think it's just the way that her double-jointed knees are bent that's making it look weird.
Sorry.
Okay here is the Gamestop Exclusive Battlefront II Tie-Pilot. Would be cool if it would come with a female face though:

Better pictures of the exclusive Thrawn set.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I think he only wears that TFA outfit for like five minutes.

I still need to buy a Hot Toys figure. I've always wanted to but I'm scared it would lead me down a dark and dangerous path.

Favorite thing from Celebration, 2018 can't come soon enough.

No it's fine. Totally fine...
Like I mentioned above, I thought this was going to be his main look for the new trilogy.
Then, what will he wear?
Before dying, that is
For me, it's the thought of having a better version of what I have come in the future.

Leaks have him wearing something closer to his ROTJ costume. Is that a spoiler? I really don't think it is.
Isn't he too old to wear that? Can't help but recall the scene in The Incredibles where Dad wore his old costume, only even more ridiculous.
