[QUOTE="TrisCompany, post: 382825, member: 6418"] Stock option if you don't know somebody that well, get them a Star Wars present for Chrimbo as they like Star Wars. Suited me fine as I ended up with more star wars toys than I would ever have got as a boy from my partner's family. This included some modern stuff, a Rey figure, Darth Vader- not sure what the f' he is doing being pimped out for TFA (also got an R2 chocolate box which doubles as a money tin- boom. I also managed to palm off a too tight death star Pac man T shirt back at one of them as a gift- he loved it, and with good reason. So I thought f' it if it's okay for them to get me modern stuff it makes it okay for me to go and get the one figure that I wouldn't mind having so I went out and got a KR figure. Having the three of them sat on the book shelf and having had time to look at them for a while I feel really peed off. Don't get me wrong I like the Kylo image on the packaging but they seem so gimmicky compared to vintage. The main thing being the weird stand up laser combo thing that each one comes with. (mini spoiler) None of the tfa characters have stand up laser cannon things in the film. Fair enough if just one was packaged with it, but all of them? How **** do they think kids are. No-one wants to get KR and other characters facing off with stand up laser cannons, extendable light sabre attachment maybe, extra blaster- yes, but stand up laser cannon, or whatever they are, that's bs. Vintage would never have done that, okay they make the Stormtrooper right and Greedo left handed when everybody knows that's wrong, but it almost adds to the mystique.
