Star Wars Black Series

Alt said:
A trucker and his dog used their their truck to take out the supposed most powerful guy in the Galaxy while he was in his state-of-the-art badass fighter jet, but a dude learning about community in the desert and then wanting to try and bring that into the new era of organized crime ruins the franchise for you.

All right.

I saw a thing over the weekend that said, Vader must have been so confused by Han when he showed up with his old master, the droid he built, his personal droid during the Clone Wars, a Wookiee he fought with during the wars, and some kid. "WHO IS THIS GUY!?"

- She wore the orange jumpsuit on several book covers. Shut the fuck up.

You're right...but I still want her in regular clothes.
 
I would've preferred Jaina in regular clothes, too, but the pilot getup is fine and the head sculpt looks great. Jace's body looks like a mostly reuse of Bespin luke but that latest Bespin Luke is a phenomenal buck so please do reuse it, it's great.

Unrelated, if you need some spare lighsaber parts and some aliens for your cantina setup, this delightful set is 45% off right now.

I made the error of looking at the Instagram comments so pardon me while I burst into flame.

Not directed at y'all but I have to

- They already made two Maras. Both are readily available with a modicum of effort.

- She wore the orange jumpsuit on several book covers. Shut the fuck up.

- Buy the old one, then.

- Disney did not rape your childhood.

- I hope you get a vicious UTI.

As someone who got roped into IG and Reddit figure discussions in between Fwoosh fizzling out and this place starting, the comments sections of those places are absolute train wrecks. Not just for Black Series, but literally any figure line from any company.

Cant get them anywhere else huh?

And are these preorder or do I have to pay now?

Arc Trooper pack is a fan channel exclusive, so that should be everywhere- Pulse, BBTS, EE, etc. Jaina/Jacen seems to be exclusive to Pulse. We don't technically know 100% if they're pre-order, but it's a safe bet. Other than con exclusives and the new Grogu, I can't remember the last time Hasbro put anything up to buy that wasn't a pre-order..

Meanwhile, has anyone's Nihilus/Traya set actually shipped? Amazon still says mine arrives today, but it hasn't shipped at all.

My Treya/Nihilus 2 pack shipped last week and should be here today, Camel. I hope yours ships soon; I know what it's like to have that FOMO. Haven't watched any reviews of the set yet, but the few photos I've seen on Insta look really nice.

Never a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. My boyfriend frequents Reddit, which I'm always surprised about, since he doesn't have that Reddit attitude, but he enjoys conversing with people (usually on more tech-focused topics, so that at least narrows the field a bit). He kept telling me I should join, since he knows I frequent forums; I got as far as making an account but never ended up posting. Not only is it just confusing to me to follow all the little reply thread things, but like you said, it's just such bad energy there. If I'm ever feeling masochistic and want someone to yuck my yum real fast, I'll just pop over there. Every now and then, after I see a movie, I'll look up some discussion for it and end up there, and most of the time, what I see will either confirm my feelings or help me notice things I didn't before- good or bad. So I can appreciate it for that purpose, but I allow myself to go no further.
 
Ordered x2 of the Solo 2 Pack. And it looks like it will ship by August 1st. So that Yakface report that this item was already in the states must have been true.

Also, looks like today my Nihilus/Trays 2 Pack did ship. I'm so happy that it did. They were starting to freak me out.
 
Congrats, Camel! Welcome to the Dark Side with the rest of us!

Hoping the Jaina/Jacen pack will hold out until public sale, but it ain't the end of the world if it doesn't. Both packs are tempting, but I feel like the ARC Trooper pack I can wait on more. They may look a little snazzier, but having new characters is usually the priority.
 
Lost excitement for ARC trooper set looking at the knees. Oh those pads glued to the top. I didn’t realize so I’m gonna wait and see and be okay if they sell out.

Jacen is cool. Both head sculpts look like Han’s kids.

Thwipp!
 
At least EE has the Arc Troopers for the right price (Fuck BBTS and their markups) with free shipping.
 
While I'm not surprised they did- army builders always sell- I was surprised to see the ARC Trooper pack sell out too. Never underestimate a unique Clone, I guess. I do love BBTS, but their recent markups are a bit tough to swallow. Most of the time it's not too bad, but almost $10 more is where they start to lose me. With tax and free shipping at EE, it comes out to less than the base price at BBTS.

Snagged Jaina and Jacen. I guess I can always change my mind later if it turns out to be a travesty, but I'd rather have a pre-order than not have the option at all.
 
Well, I managed to get 2 Jacen and Jaina sets from Pulse. The Arc troopers were long gone at both EE and Pulse though so I have to pay the bbts markup cause odds are I won't get them otherwise.
