Better look at that Mafex Kylo:

Seems to be up for pre-order on AmiAmi too.

Droids and Phasma here.

 

[Rootbeer]

any other links besides amiami?

i'm kinda tired of their difficult cancellation policy. I want to order somewhere that I can easily change my mind. November could be a very full month thanks to Rogue One merch, I need to have flexibility

i don't see them on cdjapan or hlj yet

bbts is also marking the prices up (not good)

Not that I can see. There's some good images of them on Making Star Wars though.

I'm tempted by Kylo but I have the Black Series version and I'll probably buy the ArtFX statue. They're not even out until November/December.

There's also going to be a MAFEX RotJ version of Boba Fett. I like this one more than the ESB one.

Same!

I know many people prefer Fett's role in ESB more, but the RotJ costume is just better, hands down. Way more interesting colors.

I went to a Wallgreens last night and found a row consisting one of each of Jango, Han, Phasma, FN 2187, and the Flame Trooper. Ive been striking out so this was a real surprise for me to see this. I ended up getting Han. I passed Jango because the prequel characters hold no weight with me.

 

[Rootbeer]

Sooo....

There are two variations of Black Series cases which contain Ahsoka, apparently both arriving in March. The Revision case was only just now announced. So pick which one you prefer, case buyers!

"Original" case http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS24896&mode=retail

"Revision" case http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS24977&mode=retail

Last night I was reading about how to do candy paint colors and learned about Alclad. Then later I went out and saw a Black Series Phasma in the wild for the first time and had a "Eureka!" moment. Bought it to mod and save a lot of money and waiting on MAFEX or a kit. I looked up whether someone had done it before. Of course they had.


http://postimage.org/

Aaaaaand my new airbrush hose came. I can finally get to work... when I have time.

 

[Rootbeer]

Looks like a really worthwhile mod to attempt. The look of it is really great.

New Kmart exclusive Rey figure coming to match the Kylo Ren we got

It has only just been listed on the 29th. Who knows when it actually goes for sale.

Welp just preordered ALL those figures. Got the Black series Kylo and Figuarts, but I want a version of him with no helmet.

I'm a sucker for Phasma. Got her Figuarts coming in and her Hot Toy later in the year.

And the droids are just a plus. The BB8 does the thumbs up for crying out loud.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Id like nice force awakens wall art to complete my redesign of my living room.

Any suggestions?

Rey (Starkiller Base) kmart exclusive, discussed above

PRE-ORDERS OPEN

HLJ cancelled my preorder on Figuarts Jedi Luke because they couldn't fill it.

HLJ cancelled my preorder on Figuarts Jedi Luke because they couldn't fill it.

Seen some other people reporting this. Sucks.

That's really frustrating because it's not like you can easily order it somewhere else. You can find places, but a lot are going to be inflating the price.

My amiami order is holding... so far. I have never received a cancellation from them to-date.

You would think that with a 6" SW figure that making plenty of them would not be an issue. Apparently it is for Bandai.

Wal-Mart is supposed to have a BB-8 cover edition, but I only see the standard on their site right now: http://www.walmart.com/ip/49703055?...ModuleZone&athmtid=AthenaPOVStory&athena=true

 

[Anth0ny]

pre-ordered the steelbook from best buy canada, might be in for the bb-8 cover as well if it's available in Canada >_<

 

[Shaanyboi]

My girlfriend is selling prints at a con this weekend. She made these stickers.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

What's wrong with the title on the steelbook spine Zavvi?

This looks like the standard Blu-Ray most places are offering in the UK. It's got a dark side sleeve. I'm digging the lightsaber on the spine.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Finally stumbled on a black series Finn stormtrooper in the wild. never see anything except the same old shit no one wants.

 

[Yarbskoo]

No new Action Fleet this week, but I did pick up this podracer set. I like the absurdly happy children on the box.

As far as I know this is the only way to get a physical version of Teemto's podracer. The launchers have some neat details on them, and being able to snap together for a racing line is a nice feature.

On an unrelated note, this also arrived in the mail.

 

[Vyer]

surprised that the Black Series Emperor's Wrath Vader is so easy to find, so I picked one up hoping to try my hand at painting the helmet.

Pretty decent fig but man I can't get that thing to stand on it's own for shit.

Mine also has pretty weak legs for standing. Have you painted yours yet? Because i would love to see the results. Im thinking about picking up another just to paint.

I haven't. Was going to look online and get some tips for it. I'm worried I'll screw it up. lol

 

[TAJ]

Just make sure you remove the head first, lol. And use the hollow neck to mount it on something so all of the visible parts can be reached without having to touch it.

 

[Chip N Chance]

I guess Testors Model Master Acrylic is the paint you should be using according to all ive read online. Gloss black and silver for sure. You can also use a flat black on the face, and use the gloss black for the helmet and eyes if you want. It gives it a little more contrast This stuff can be found at almost every hobby store.

 

[Experien]

My local Target had the Black series Tie Fighter, man the box is big.

 

[Rootbeer]

new wave appeared on amazon. I snagged them but they sold out FAST.

Here are the links for once they restock. watch them like a hawk.

NOT IN STOCK AS OF THIS WRITING

6" Ahsoka http://amzn.com/B010B9402S

6" A New Hope Luke http://amzn.com/B010B93PEW

6" Kanan http://amzn.com/B010B93PJW

 

[Diggeh]

That was tense, Zulith! Ahsoka was gone in like 5 minutes at 2:40 AM. Geez.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I didn't want to deal with the craziness so I just bought Ahsoka for $50 shipped on EBay.

About time, though I got lucky and don't have to play the game this time around. I walked into Target a week and a half ago and all three were hanging from the pegs.

All three are great, Ahsoka is probably my favorite of these newer TFA/post-TFA figures and certainly one of the best looking, and Kanan and Luke are up there too. Ahsoka's head sculpt and paint are probably the best I've seen so far. The Luke soft goods look a lot better when you can pull them down, and he has the better double-hinged elbow articulation like the older black series. And Kanan is the most solid feeling BS figure I've got. The quality certainly feels like it is going back up.

 

[Vidiot]

I managed to get black series Ahsoka, Kanen, and Luke orders in on Amazon after refreshing a thousand times and trying all day. Fingers crossed they don't get canceled!

if they show up on your order page you are probably good! It is super, super rare for amazon to cancel any of my figure orders.

Also congrats! Your dedication paid off well

Just rechecked and yup, they're there! Delivery estimates are the 8th for Ahsoka, 13th for Luke, and 19th for Kanen.

Oddly enough it says I'm being charged shipping for Ahsoka though. I have prime and the other two are free so that can't be right. I'll wait until I have the figure in hand to complain though. Lol

 

[Chip N Chance]

I found a stack of about 6 or so Kylo Ren Star Killer Base Black Series figures at KMart last night. I noticed that they updated it it with a much slimmer hood and a textured scarf. I didn't buy one since i already have a Kylo Ren, but now i'm really regretting it since i also want the Rey version that goes along with it. I suck.

 

[Rootbeer]

Yeah i've seen pics of the updated Starkiller Base Kylo. I already have two of the first run version however, so I think I'm gonna have to leave it at that... haha.

There's sure to be lots more Kylo Ren figures down the road.

Its nice to know that this stuff isnt as one and done as maybe i thought. Rereleases are are great. I think i'm done until i see the Rouge One stuff. Never found a Ello Asty and Poe.

Hey Star Wars Merch GAF I have a quick question. I have been keeping my eye on this Darth Revan Black Series figure, and I don't really know how fast these figures go from being shown off to actually being put up for sale. I was wondering if you guys had an idea of an time-frame, or does it vary figure to figure?

 

[Rootbeer]

We don't yet know when the next wave will be for sale. Rumors are that it won't be till late summer or early fall. Hasbro seems to be switching gears to Marvel toys for the summer.

The Ahsoka/Kanan/A New Hope Luke wave are the last ones that have been dated for the 6" figures.

And yeah, Sabine and Darth Revan are going to be big sellers.

Alright thanks a lot.

Also does anyone know where is the best places to order these figures online in Canada?

I'm wanting to pick up the FN-2187 Funko Pop! with the Bluray tomorrow at Target, but can't find any information about their stock online.

Hey! I thought this thread would appreciate this:

http://www.slashfilm.com/ralph-mcquarrie-star-wars-blu-ray/

It's a how to for custom Ralph McQuarrie original SW Blu Ray art.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Target lied about having new figures today! =(

Or did they put them out early and they disappeared already?

Well that's still lying if they put it out early. Their ad explicitly says available today.

Did you check with staff to see if maybe they were still in the back and hadn't been put out?

What are the new figures in this way? I don't know if they were new but I saw the Bloody FINN Stormtrooper many weeks back.

 

[Rootbeer]

Swang by target before Best Buy opened. Yeah, I didn't see much in the way of new or restocked merch. Just the usual stuff I see just about every day.

But I've seen pics of Walmart stores overflowing with new stock for today's release so if you have a decent one nearby, try there.
