Zavvi cancelled all my Wave 1 Black Series figures. I pre-ordered them months ago when they were first added to the site. Fuck using them again.

At least my local Argos have the Poe and Stormtrooper two-pack.

 

[Rootbeer]

Sorry that happened to you. Never used zavvi, but in the amiibo community people recommend against them because they are famous for cancellations.

Yeah, it's not all that surprising but I assumed because I ordered them so early after they went up, that they might actually be OK this time. Their prices are usually quite good as well. When they have what you've ordered.

Hasbro do seem to have done an awful job at distributing the new figures though. I've seen several UK sites moaning that they've received hardly any of the new waves. The average price seems to be about £30 at the moment which is really quite ridiculous.

I just randomly checked and snagged one before you posted. Never thought I'd get one for retail price. Praise Jebus. Just missed out on her on TRU at 11ish last night.

She's already sold out again btw...

What color is Kylo Rens Command Shuttle in the movies? I see some products have it black and others gray.

There's a Hasbro Titanium version of it that's white.

But it definitely looks black/grey from the movie stills.

Yeah, I been collecting the Titanium Series to display on my computer desk and just bought Kylos ship and was wondering white it was white/grey/ with touch of black.

The Disney Store exclusive model is black.

Just kop'd this poster.

That's incredibly stupid. Put out a product that doesn't even mimic the actual look of the ship.

I just took a Jakks 20-inch Phasma and sprayed some chrome paint that's all!

Just kop'd this poster.

Nice poster. I like the coloring on the variant edition better, though. The colors are more subdued on that one. The bright yellow border kinda bothers me.

I would have bought one but I'm kinda done with OT merch. Bring on the Force Awakens art prints!

I am curious about them, but not sure if its enough interest to buy them...

Well for under $14 you get 550 pages of content... seems like a good gamble.

There are some pics of the interior here

What do you think? I can get it for a little over 90 USD. Or the six movies in DVD for 60,but since I'm spending already, I want to buy the best version...

Did a better conversion, I can get them for 70, or 40 for the DVD.

Wait until Black Friday. I bet you'll see better prices than $90 then. I think I only paid $45 or so for my set of 6 Blu-rays when they were first released on that format.

 

[Rootbeer]

I'm not sure if the new blu-ray set has anything new to offer worth having? Isn't it just repackaging the older blu-ray set?

You can get it for around $80 if you shop around but a lot of places are sold out.

$45 would be an exceptionally low price, according to my amazon price tracker it NEVER dropped below 79.99 there. Though third party sellers could have had it lower.

at $20 per movie plus special features it is worth $120 for sure, but if you could get it for $80 or $90 you'd be getting it at a much more historically fair price.

I like how the original Bluray version seemed like a book Is that just me?

 

[Ally of Justice]

Did a little searching around and ended up buying this:

Star Wars the Complete Saga (2011)

For 60 USD in Mexican eBay (I'm from Mexico btw)

I love how it looks like a book instead of an oversized bluray box, fell in love instantly.

The one you linked to before was just a repack of that one anyway. I prefer the original set too.

Shit, I missed black series captain phasma again! I check amazon and toysrus like 20 times a day. I have the worst luck with this kind of stuff.

Yea I just looked around and I ordered it from BBTS.

Thank GOD it comes out mid 2016 hopefully. Gives me enough to time to save up ample funds. Already getting the Artfx Phasma and the Figarts version.

 

[KoruptData]

Hello Barnes and Noble. Hello impulse purchase. Hello only $199 compared to the after market for it.

I REALLY would like to know how much Disney has made off the merch so far with the movie not even being released yet. I can only imagine after it's shown things will explode for them at retail.

 

[Rootbeer]

pre-ordered phasma on bbts.

currently i have on pre-order:
hot toys boba fett deluxe (comes with the sarlacc case)
hot toys kylo ren
hot toys captain phasma

all tentative... I am so on the fence when it comes to hot toys it's ridiculous. They are nice but the money and space commitments for collecting them is difficult, clashes with my LEGO commitments. So, I have some time to think and plan on what I am going to do.

Well, at least they take up less space than Premium Formats. Those things are gigantic. But I would never be able to resist a PF Phasma if it happens.

Spoiler

It will happen.

Sweet.


Anyone know what was the toy lightsaber line before the new merch? Not the more expensive ultimate fx stuff, IIRC they were around 20 or 30 bucks. We bought a couple for my son and I was pretty impressed with them for the price but I haven't seen any in a while and haven't seen any with TFA stuff.

Weren't you just complaining about the price of those things last week?

 

[KoruptData]

I was complaining that online and even local collectible shops marked that thing up $50-100. This was $200 with 10% off making it $180.

Some Bandai plastic models I have built recently:

Two Stormtroopers partying in my office desk.

Finished these two guys today, still missing the decals (mainly R5-D4's head).

Did they really mark them up that much online? $200 is expensive enough.

Looks like they came out with more stock on them. They sell for about $220 on Amazon now. The night I got it I checked and they lowest was $280.

 

[Wubby]

Got the latest Bandai kits

 

[Vidiot]

Had Captain Phasma in my cart at toysrus and they sold out before I could finish checking out. Fuck this shit!

 

[Hagi]

Got the latest Bandai kits

Let us know how the Millennium Falcon turns out, I managed to snag Boba Fett off Amazon UK today so I'd like to get that as well at some point.

 

[Metalmarc]

Got the latest Bandai kits

Not bandai, but i got the revell clip together kits this weekend, cos they were nice and cheap, £12.99 and i'm too lazy to glue and paint and they have 3 sounds built in and the falcon lights up.

Edit: looks like the bandai ones snap together no paints or glue also, nice!
