Hasbro appreciation thread.

It's odd (in a fun way) to go into a TRU right now and see Episode One front and center again...brought back some fond memories of "Midnight Madness"...

Some of those vintage figures are pretty good...picked up Jinn, Kenobi, Maul, Sidious, Padme and Dofine. Speaking of Dofine...pretty impressive what Hasbro is pulling off with cloth at this scale...sure wish Sideshow would produce one of these guys...

Haha, but who would buy them? I think that's going into really odd territory for Sideshow.

But then again... they do have the holo-graphic Sidious with walking projector.

If I get him I have to go back and get Gunray and the Viceroy.

 

[HeadlessGree]

Nope.

I stand corrected....

Geez for a re-release this may end up having a bigger marketing blitz than any of the new blockbusters this year.

Kinda crazy for what is essentially a limited re-release.

 

[Darth Waller]

Hasbro must have Force Choked them to get a display that big.

It does seem kind of like overkill, and I wonder how good sales are really going to be, but I kind of like to see it, too.

 

[IrishJedi]

It is actually almost notalgic to see stores with an overkill of EP1 product on display.

I just hope this means more Vintage pegs in our stores. I went to my local TRU and I saw thirty pegs full of “Clone Wars” figures and one peg for Vintage. That on peg only had three Super Battle Droids...

It will be like it is 1999 all over again except this time I will be only buying Sideshow stuff.

 

[Coheteboy]

They should make a new Sio Bibble figure and make him impossible to find. AGAIN!

...and a Ric Olie who isn't. AGAIN!

They won't fool us again.

I wasn't a collector back when Episode 1 came out, but I did end up getting just about all of the figures from Amazon when they went on clearance a while afterward. I still have good memories about those figures. Somehow I like them better than the super-articulated ones we have today. They're certainly sturdier. And Queen Amidala's ship is still a kickass toy.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

lol they were sturdier because they were basically one sold chunk of plastic

 

[icruise]

That's kind of what I like about them -- a bit of a throwback to the vintage line, but with better sculpting and paint.

 

[Coheteboy]

My Targets are clearancing everything that isn't "vintage" or carded with darth maul's face on it.

I picked up Clone Wars Speederbike with Castas for $8.48!

I saw some battle packs go for $9 and change... for three figures! Happy Hunting!

 

[LoveMinusZero]

I like that it includes 20 droids.

Wow, this is the first I've heard of this, and I really didn't expect them to ever make a MTT. I have to get it, it'll be the first hasbro vehicle I've picked up in a very long time.

Twenty is nice-- but it should come with the full 112.
