I'd really like a Vader helmet to go with my Fett and Stormtrooper ones.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Well I nabbed a Grievous, Wolffe and Gree as oddly enough I kept missing out on those apart from Grievous that for some reason I just dithered about until it was out of stock all over the place so ill be happy to add them.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

R5-P8 available for preorder at SAF and In demand toys, this is Hondo's droid so ill have to nab one to go with mine. Looks cool, and maybe seeing as they are using the tooling again we will get a normal R5 unit down the line.

 

[MrGudz]

Looks great. I've decided to not pick up any of the Galaxys Edge line. Saying that, the Mountain Trooper looks rather smart.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Has anyone had any luck finding anything in their local HMV stores?

Via Yakface and credits to anerdydad for the images.

Though these are not something i'm into, I know others here are; and to be fair I think Hasbro did a good job on them. No cardback artwork yet, ill amend this post once it is. Hmm I might just pick up the child though..... :lol: :roll:

Whilst im trying to stick to black series 6inch, I do like to add some VC of my favourite characters/movie/series and these are ticking the right boxes. I do think Moff Gideon should of had a soft cape though, hopefully it wont be to long until we start seeing these ported into the black series.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

I :shock:

Mando Monday's up on IDT's: https://www.indemandtoys.co.uk/product-category/star-wars/

See they are up on Forbidden Planet as well.

Can't see the Retro Monopoly Game that the Remnant Trooper will be packet in with anywhere yet.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Din Djarin, armourer and Mr Gideon pre ordered. Really worried that the black series releases are going to be a bit of a pain to get, never managed to get the exclusive armourer so hopefully I dont miss these ones.

Sick of these Amazon exclusives..... urrrg :x

[MrGudz]

Just received an email from Amazon saying the Speeder Bike is now being delayed till mid 2021.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Good grief...

Is it just me or is this just taking the piss...£50.00!

 

[monkey_roo]

Yeah - double IP hit though. Monopoly and SW has always been expensive.

I think the last two games were only £20 so this is a big jump.... But once your in for all of it, you can't not get this - That's how they get you

Yeh...glad I didn't get into the retro line...

 

[monkey_roo]

New Mando figure up...

[BobbyCheese74]

I've got carbon mando, din Djarin mando on order and now another mando, ok it is Mando Mondays.

 

[monkey_roo]

I am not complaining (much) but Disney are milking the tits of Mando with all the merch heading our way....

 

[BobbyCheese74]

Still can't believe the next retro wave is Mandolorian :x

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Sounds like you are doing well bobby, though i'm trying to stick to Black Series I'm making an exception to the Mandolorian and some of my favourite Clone Wars characters.

Ill forgive Hasbro and Disney for milking it, businesses are suffering in one way or another and if its selling then keep at it. At the end of the day, its keeping them alive and giving us what we want and like so I'm all for it. We'd all be sad if we got nothing, and thets be fair it wasn't all that long ago that we had some real concerns for the VC line, kind of lucky really. We still need to pick and choose though, budget is one thing but space for it is well urrm you know the story..... :lol:

I'm really looking forward to a VC Sabine Wren as well as a BS version for the Mandalorian, did you notice her style of graffiti popping up? I really am enjoying all the tie ins from legends, and the comics that really opens up so much opportunity for some really unique characters.

 

[BobbyCheese74]

I'm still a novice, VC and now Vintage collection only, enough to keep me busy :mrgreen:

 

[MrGudz]

Kapow have some EU stock of the SDCC Armourer set. Not cheap though at £40

Now showing OOS. Bugger.

 

[Mini99]

40th Anniversary Fett available on SAF...be quick.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Missed out on the armourer exclusive but think ill give it a miss now to be honest, Ill just have to be happy with the standard one when it gets here. I cant complain though, I was way to lucky on the Cade bane and three pack exclusive so I cant have it all my way.

I think we will see a fair bit of previously sold out items trickle into the UK over the next few months so keep your eyes out.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Heads up ladies, Star Action figures are having a little clear out of a few of the older 40th anniversary line and black series. Take a look

https://www.staractionfigures.co.uk/

Sadly Tusken warriors are gone but a good chance to nab some Jawas and death squad commanders to open, ill grab a few.


Just a note on the commander, its not the photolike printing sadly but its not bad. Hopefully a few others will go up at some point.
