Man, I'm super impressed with the Kylo ForceFX saber. It's my first one actually and I was surprised by the weight of the thing and the hilt being made of metal with all that detail including the separate wiring etc.
I thought it was pretty bright in the day but holy shit it's illuminating my whole house now. Nerding out and scaring my pets as I'm lighting this up from room to room. LOL

Been catching up on some Hasbro figures I missed over the last few years (Hoth Trooper, Troyn Farr, a few Leia and Padme figures and the CW Y-wing)
I was really surprised to see that
was only done as a figure a single time back in 1999.
Kinda surprising with how iconic that look was to Episode 1.

Did you remove that mouth piece thing inside the helmet?

I still have these two childhood models/toys on my shelves : )
Was on the way home from dinner with my wife and son tonight...just for shits and giggles I asked them if we wanted to run into our local TRU to check out the carnage.
Made our way back to the Star Wars section and immediately I checked their Black Series stock. They have about eight Finn's all laying in a row....but then behind them what do I see peeking out....
I couldn't resist....Even though I should....I promised I wouldn't buy anymore 'toys'.
Luckily I am only grabbing a few of the Troopers really, and then I can stop. hehe

One of these days I'll get an Action Fleet AT-ST. I've always liked the design of the chicken walker, even more than the AT-AT.

Just grabbed him off Amazon for like $14.
Help...I'm addicted...
Link broke. But I understand.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

I managed to swear off Star Wars merch entirely for 16 years. The only toys I bought during that time were the RC Battlebots from the original TV run.
Now I have:
6" Biker Scout w/ Speeder Bike
6" Han (Hoth) w/ Tauntaun
6" OG Han (They really went crazy with the accessories on this one. I mean that in a good way.)
6" Greedo (He doesn't shoot.)
$65 in so far. Thinking about building the Bandai R2-D2 that's at 6" Black Series scale...

So I was given these Hot Wheels vehicles which are styled to look like their respective characters. I love them! I have four. The other two I have is a truck that looks like Chewie and car styled like a droid similar to R2.
These two are the money though. Boba Fett and CP30
Edit: fixed lol.

Think you mean Hot Wheels, Hot Toys make much more expensive SW toys. I really like these cars too. Wicket & Kanan are the hardest to get since they were at the end of the old packaging and haven't been rereleased in the new packaging.

Doh! I meant Hot Wheels lol! Yeah they're pretty fantastic to look at. The Chewbacca and droid car look alright, but these are nice.
Weird, works here...In any case I moved the pic to Imgur now...should be fine.
Yeah I haven't bought squat, if anything over the past 5 years I had sold off my entire vintage collection that was boxed up in the closet. I'm 42, they aren't doing anything and I'd rather have the cash. That said, I couldn't resist some of these Black Series figures to throw on my desk.
In the past month I snagged the Biker Scout and Speeder Bike, Kylo, Snowtrooper, First Order Trooper and now Han Stormtrooper. I don't want them all, I've just always been a fan of the Troopers. Right now I am just trying to get my hands on a Sandtrooper and Bossk and I think I am done.
The local Toys R Us has that Han/Greedo showdown on clearance for $25 and I am trying to resist that one as well...as you said, all those accessories boggle my mind. heh

I didn't actually buy anything on Force Friday but I've bought nearly all the Black Series figures since. Still on the hunt for Rey though.
I did pick up Cody this week. Still one of my favourite clone designs.

I have my Vader and Kylo Force FX Light Sabers hanging up and there is room on the wall where they hang for one more so I ordered the Anakin/Luke/Finn Black Series Force FX to complete the wall. Should have it Wednesday and can't wait to see the blue blade in person.

Just received my Clone Wars Y-wing in the mail.
Awesome toy but im so tempted to give it a paint wash to dirty it up a bit.

Is your theater allowing masks and weapons? I know some have made it a point to inform people otherwise.
I checked the website and so far haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe they wouldn't, and in the past they have allowed it. Fingers crossed lol!
Alamo Drafthouse said they were allowing costumes and weapons.

Awesome, I'm going to buy this one in the next week or two. Such a lovely looking design.
Editing my post to add this in.
Already done, that's why I'm asking here.

When your bored at home
This month's vehicle: The Action Fleet Trade Federation MTT!
This one has a cool low profile variation of the Action Fleet stand, one that unfortunately doesn't leave much room for any figures standing beneath.
Like the rest of the line, this toy has some nice details here and there.
The troop deployment hatch opens up, and the lever on the top of the model operates a nifty little extension mechanism for the troop deployment rack. The toy only comes with one droid, but there's a second seat if you want to supply your own co-pilot.
If the stand isn't your thing, the toy comes with the traditional Action Fleet landing gear as well as some wheels that I've never seen on any Action Fleet vehicle before. They're kinda neat, but they're also so small that the front of the ship drags on the ground.
The twin blaster cannons rotate independently in their sockets, though one of them is really difficult to move on mine.
Overall, the toy has some nice detail and the shape makes it fit well in your hand, but the ship is just kinda boring. It's not really a combat vehicle, and the color scheme is just kinda bland. The toy is well made for the most part, but Lucas didn't really make it do anything interesting in the films, so it's not particularly exciting as a toy either.

Bought it off Amazon 2 weeks ago for $20 and that was still worth it.
^ Looks more like Anna Paquin IMO but otherwise, very cool.
Gang is all here (Well mostly, Speederbike and scout are on my PC). Han's disguise must be working out too, Kylo doesn't seem to suspect a thing.
don't see it but are line are those figures from?

I fixed the post. For some reason linking from Google doesn't seem to be working and I was having issues with imgur...

Shepperton Studios? That's an odd name for a Stormtrooper helmet.
For reference: Shepperton Studios is a film studio in the UK used for films such as Avengers: Age of Ultron. It is owned by the Pinewood Group, the parent company of Pinewood Studios, where The Force Awakens was filmed.
Edit: Can you link it?
