The Listening Post.

To be honest I was hoping for a bigger, better scaled bunker - or even better an Ewok Village. What we have here is pretty low rent if we are honest.
The speeder bike is nice and goes well with the bunker - which is why they went AT-ST I guess, but they could have done so much more....

I would have loved to see a Rex figure from Jedi - in fact is there a better candidate for a three figure pack - a Clone Wars version, a Rebels version and a Jedi version - that would be awesome....

Almost a revisit of the evolutions packs.

and yes, however great the scout figure is, 63 quid for a figure and a door is a bit rich

The AT-ST looks very nice - but definitely not £100 nice!!

Not to mention if it's the same as the at-st raider and the previous VC version actually getting it to stand up is a right pain

Listening to Galactic Figure Talk they've apparently tightened up the legs to make sure it stands upright.

New AT-ST and Bunker up for pre-orders and seemingly sold out
I ended up getting the bunker from Zavvi - but that AT-ST and almost 100 is way... way over priced - passing on that and hope it gets heavy discount down the road - shame as I really want a full 40th set, but 100 for a scout walker.....

Ah nice one, i forgot to check on zavvi after missing the bunker on hasbro and saf and managed to pick one up

[MrGudz]

An absolute farce once again at the hands of Hasbro. Ordering retailers not to list any pre orders till 6pm and then listing them on Pulse at 4.30 pm.…..

Bloody expensive day....

Next big drop is on the 4th May apparently - New BB figures

 

[MrGudz]

What a balls up regarding the N1

 

[kabuchi7]

I managed to get the N1 off hasbro pulse.

I would have bought the BS jabba but having no throne seemed like an odd choice so passed up on that.

 

[lejackal]

I mean the N1 will be restocked, could even end up below retail in 6 - 9 months

 

[Mini99]

Lots of pre orders live tonight. VC & BS.
Good luck if your after anything.

N1 Starfighter available for pre-order if anyone's still after one:

https://uk.hasbropulse.com/collecti...wars-the-vintage-collection-n-1-starfighter-1

 

[lejackal]

I like it but I think I'll take a punt on it getting closer to 100 next year. Also think they missed a trick not having R5 included as a display option

 

[db94]

Any word on when Retro Collection R2-D2 will be available?
If anyone sees it going live please give me a shout/pm/run round and knock on my door to tell me

 

[monkey_roo]

Didn't the Retro R2 come in the 6 figure boxset

Anyway - got distracted at work and missed the two figures I wanted - after market prices it will have to be....

 

[Mini99]

He is included….well sort of… Hasbro sell him carded for an extra £15.95…

 

[Mini99]

N1 Starfighter available for pre-order if anyone's still after one:

https://uk.hasbropulse.com/collecti...wars-the-vintage-collection-n-1-starfighter-1

And also at Star Action Figures £9 cheaper.

 

[lejackal]

Bet he won't fit though

Fingers crossed he's available separately soon

 

[Mini99]

These two guys say it will, well at least his head.

[monkey_roo]

So many pre-orders up now......

 

[lejackal]

@edd_jedi @sith-smith (and anyone else picking up the retro figures)
toys for a pound have a few in

https://toysforapound.com/search?type=product&q=Star*+Wars*
Although not for a quid

 

[sith-smith]

But still - £5 is considerably cheaper than I've seen anywhere else.

Thanks for the heads up

For sure- I've just ordered a set. I've used them before and they tend to ship promptly, packed in boxes etc

 

[sith-smith]

I ordered 2! 1 to open.

I have the first set as well, just need a second Boba fett to open

 

[edd_jedi]

Thanks for the heads up but looks like they've sold out, this is all I'm seeing

Which retro figures did they have out of interest?
