Star Wars Black Series

What do we think are the odds we get an updated New Hope Vader with butterfly shoulders etc.? I've been tempted lately by the updated New Hope Figuarts Vader, but I don't like the skinny arms and double-joints - and price - of that figure, so trying to resist.

Aw, heck, Doc, I'm sorry you're having a tough time. A fig swap is a dick move even during the best of times, and I've noticed it happening more and more here lately, for whatever reason. Especially in those plastic-free boxes, it's so easy to do and you're none the wiser. I hope the rest of your May the 4th gets better from here!

I mean, if ever there was an inevitable figure, it's Vader. At this point, though, I wouldn't expect it until next year. They already hinted the other day they've got a lot planned for next year, being the 50th and all, and he seems like a prime candidate for a rework. I opened up the Bespin Duel set not too long ago, and while the wired cape is awesome and really adds some oomph, using the old pinned legs once again was a real bummer.

Yeah, one of the legs on my Vader from that set was so gummy, I decided to just swap the cape onto my regular retail ESB Vader.

And yeah, I suspect we might see a new Vader and Kenobi next year, possibly as a cinematic duel set like the Luke/Vader one.

Does anyone have a link to the Target exclusive Remnant Warlord? I can't get him to come up on the website even through links

 

[docsilence]

Carth, Mission, Satele, and not-Jace were all locks for me, gotta have them.

Both troopers are up at Target, too—sorry for the bsky link but I’m on the rod and having trouble grabbing both links. Warlord is out of stock!!!

On the road. Clearly typing on my phone on the fly. On the rod sounds kinky.

I grabbed Thorn at Target with the 30% off sale today. I also grabbed one RC and one RT at BBTS.

 

[GrumpyMatt]

Love that Target sale. Grabbed Doom and Thorn as well as the May the 4th Battle Droid. I feel so much better about $20 for a Black series figure.

 

[TFitz]

Busy at work the both Target Clones are sold out. Fuck!

 

[puckace]

Just Satele Shan for me today. I don't even bother with Target anymore. They always "sell out". Or if you do get a preorder in, you have months long messages to approve the order and often get cancelled at the end. I don't want a Target debit card either. Not playing those games even for 30% off. Happy for those of you who got it though.

 

[Boy Wonder]

Opened up Watto, Maul, and Droideka today and watched TPM. I think it's definitely my most guilty of pleasure movies.

Now we need Queen Amidala, naked 3PO, Nute Gunray, and a bunch of podracers. And I still need to track down some pit droids. And hopefully they'll finally release a single carded prequel Yoda.

Now a couple collection shots

 

[Super Camel]

Man, those Episode I figures all look great together Boy Wonder. But all your displays look really cool.

Episode I is seriously my favorite Star Wars movie. I'm willing to admit other Star Wars movies may be better, but Episode I just means the world to me. I love the characters, the music, the era, the planets, and just everything you see from the crazily dressed Senators in their blues and purples, to the aliens and droids. Peak Star Wars for me. I just feel all the nostalgia and love you could feel every time I watch it.

And besides Maul Shadow Lord, EP I is what I will watch today to celebrate May 4th.

I was able to grab everything going back and forth with yak-face and the TNI links. I did pre-orders/purchases with Target, BBTS, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse and the Disney Store. I had missed Plo Koon and Clone Commander Wolfe the first go around with this pre-order.
