I mean it's like his ROTJ costume it isn't his ROTJ costume. All black and a cloak type deal if leaks are correct.

I don't know how people here finish games like Persona so fast. Doesn't that mean you played around 45 hours a week
I was sick for 3 days straight so that helped, lol. I played a few hours a night since launch. Final playtime was 90 hours.
I'm normal. Some Gaffers got Platinum last week. Not even sure how they played 150 hours of it.
Better step it up! I was also worried about spoilers so my entire focus was on P5. I even stopped playing Zelda.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
And darker overall. In Jedi it went black -> medium gray -> brown. In this one it's just black -> dark gray. (like Lego Batman!)
A rigged poll, to be honest and not a Trump rigged but really rigged poll. The real winner was Darth Talon followed by Mara Jade. It was a pretty sad thing, at first Talon was clearly on top but then this boring guy from the The Force Unleashed leaped magically forward. The manipulation was as clear as day with sudden and huge chunks of votes. After some time there was a Jaina Solo hardcore fangroup somewhere on reddit/4chan/facebook fueled by a Jaina voice actress or something like that, who manipulated the vote even further, now in favour to Jaina Solo, who also got sudden, huge chunks of votes. In the end the TFU manipulators fought the Jaina Solo manipulators with the last winning the poll. In the end I am still happy that Jaina won, instead of a boring, bald standard male hero but Hasbro didn't used any real safety measures and they behaved like nothing really happened.
You are not alone.^^

All I wanted to salvage from the old EU was Jaina Solo and Mara Jade. The rest of it can burn, honestly. Though I wouldn't have minded Tenel Ka or Tahiri, either.
I still think there will be some mention of Mara Jade in a flashback. I think she'll get killed at Luke's temple. They'll let books and comics fill in the blanks.

So my big Celebration pickup was totally random but also pretty amazing.
The paint work is seriously the best on any figure that I own, it's just gorgeous. ThreeA did a killer job on it.

Hey guys, thoughts on Hot Toys Thanos? I really want to pick him up but I'm positive we'll get an updated version next year or so with the next Avengers movie.

These things must be popular for them to limit 1 per household.

that could possibly be my friend's pre-order he just dropped bc i sold him my extra i had @ hlj.
Non-transforming Transformers are one of those​ things that are iffy to me. It's just...Wrong.
Picked up, but not sure if I'll even buy it.

I might transform a MP Transformer once when I first get it but it stays in robot mode from that point forward. So having hyper detailed non-transforming action figures, especially with Bayformers stuff that can't accurately exist if it's transformable, is fine by me. With how impressed I am with the movie Optimus I'll probably end up grabbing their G1 version too.
Probably not, considering you can still preorder ;p
Chances are they got another shipment, but will be more careful in selling it. Any cancelled preorders are just a bonus.
Same here, it's just one of those things I have an irrational reservation about, like non combining​ toys of combining mechas. I was so confused whether to go with the max factory or CM version​ of Goagaigar I ended up missing on both ;-;

Just buy them from Big in Japan or Nippon Yasan.
Finally got my Hot Toys Antman and Black Panther from Civil War.
The detail on the Black Panther figure is amazing. But my god the articulation is so ass, like the worst I've seen because of limiting the suit is.
I keep picturing all these cool poses I want to try it out and then I realize that I'll just have to leave him in the museum pose.

Black Panther's suit isn't restrictive at all? I settled on a fighting stance for him yesterday but I was getting pretty crazy. Only thing remotely restricted was the outward movement at the hips, but I was able to work around that. Did you think that HT Deadpool and BvS Batman had bad articulation too? Cause I think he's on par with them.
Maybe because the suit needs to get worn in a bit more. I don't have Deadpool yet but will pick him eventually.
I only have the Armored Batman figure from BvS and haven't opened him yet. Still want to the get the regular Batfleck and knightmare figure as well.

BBTS F91 is gone...

did you take one? i know you were asking haloid for his f91 pre-order =) if you did, congrats!
I did, but to be honest I don't think I'll actually buy it. I'm just not a big fan of F91. I'll probably offer it here for anyone that might want it later.
Now, Megatron? Yeah, I'd like to buy that. But I was so hesitant ( and angry about the excess plastic parts that add to the cost) that I missed the chance to get one without the plug.

So when is the Riobot Mazinkaiser's reissue happening?

if you somehow decide on keeping it and plan to display it, the F91 is undersized compared to Seven Sword or strike freedom. i posted a few scaled image comparison and an asian review of a guy sizing it up next to strike freedom.
yeah i would personally see if the market for these are hot before deciding to drop or keep it. if it's in demand, you can use it a trade fodder for what you want. so far in Japan it's been hovering around 23000-24000yen on the secondary market. but stock is depleting and currently only 72 listings where a month ago it was over 150 to 200 listed. it's possible this will take a bit to shoot up but it's so far looking promising based on F91 being sold out everywhere with Japan online retailers.
i know strike freedom was sold out right away in Japan but pre-orders in the U.S. took a while to sell out... but look at the market now, it's freaking 500 new and 400 used.
(i grabbed 3x strike freedoms) so theoretically that's about 750 profit in less than a year of waiting.
definitely grab Seven Sword. though it's a reprint and may take a bit to get back up to the 1k pricing, the demand is pretty big for it looking at the current yahoo japan listings.
Seems it might have already went up on some places. Best place right now seems to be NY.
Eh, don't like anything from 00 other than the Flag family. I don't want to buy anything just for the sake of reselling it later, doesn't sit well with me.

Great, thanks!
I guess I should provide a warning that some chrome toys oxidize with time and get a dirty look, depending on their type and quality. Hope that isn't the case here, since so much of it is chromed.
What the. Hot Toys didn't get him? The sculpt looks good tho.
Hot Toys doesn't care about him. Considering how much trouble they have getting the main characters out I doubt they'd waste time making a toy for a throwaway villain no one remembers.
How do those companies get away with releasing their unofficial toys, anyway? I know Hasbro let 3rd parties be because they don't compete directly and even help them gauge demand but I can't imagine Marvel/Disney staying quiet.
