Star Wars Black Series

@NORM Not only does he have to extend his next quite a bit, but also has to hunch his legs inward and compress their height to fit all the way in. It's just stupid when they could have made it a little wider with slots for his legs like the OT fighters had.

Way to go, Doug Chiang!

I never realized this. Now you and Doug can share my disgust.

And the Jedi starfighters are even worse!

I'm surprised they didn't give us a cross section of Anakin there.

Just these:

I'm surprised they didn't give us a cross section of Anakin there.

But they showed us the void of space.

And the Jedi starfighters are even worse!

This made me actively angry.

It's so over-engineered and complicated for no reason but I guess that was the whole vibe going into the prequels.

Has anyone seen any recent reports of the Jango/Asajj wave being found at Target? They were really early on but I haven't seen any since. Debating if I should keep holding out or not before that section gets decimated by movie merch.

Haven't seen anything new at Target lately, no, though Pulse shipped Jango and Asajj three or four weeks ago.

Totally unrelated, I realize that my buying habits are occasionally based on needing a dopamine boost, but I totally just said "fuck it, we're at war again, buy the Bespin set" this morning and ordered it.

I received the Bespin duel set yesterday and opened it last night. Beautiful set. The platform requires assembly for the railings and the pipes that Vader slices. The clash effect clips onto both lightsabers which helps add stability since there are no foot pegs. The wired cape is a little overdone. Huge, with a huge unsightly tag on the inside hem of the cape. I nearly cut it off but didn’t want to permanently alter the figure so I just rolled it up as tight as I could and tucked it into the hem. I can’t believe this Vader still has double knees with pegs. Luke seems all new but probably reuses some Dagobah Luke parts.

This is the second copy of this set I bought, the first I’m keeping unopened. I still have a bunch of these box set type multipacks to keep carded. Like the Endor exclusive, Cantina Showdown remake, Mustafar duel. Even going way back to the first deluxe boxed Boba Fett with Han in Carbonite. All of these got individual releases with pretty much nothing left exclusive to the multipack that I can think of.
