Clone Wars coming back for 12 episodes on Disney’s steaming service

I am SOOO happy it is back, but so Angry it is on a paid service. Now I will have to get the streaming service for a couple months and then cancel it.

The Amazon SDCC exclusive Pop! Patrol Trooper is up.

Wasn't able to get it this morning, but just ordered it now.

So does having Disney HD not give you access to the streaming?

I don't think so, but I haven't really seen any details about the service. I don't think any other stations on my Directv subscription have ever given me any access to a streaming service. It would be awesome if it does, then I have no worries!

Well, the final piece of the puzzle fell into place today. Comcast has backed out of their bid to acquire 21st Century Fox, so Disney will snatch it up and have a really big library of movies to add to their streaming service once it launches.

Once Disney gets the streaming up Netflix could be taking a big hit. Isn't Disney pulling everything Marvel from them too?

No you have to pay for it just like Netflix.

I think so.

I think Netflix recent push with "Original Content" is to try and make up for that loss.

Just one more service to try and grab a piece of everyone's paycheck.

Very nice tempting!

I didn't know anyone was looking for The BS6 Chewbacca. I've seen him a number of times.

How'd you pick up the Pop! Patrol Trooper if it's an Amazon exclusive?

By "pick up", I meant I bought both Cad and the Patrol Trooper not that I had both in hand.

Oh! That makes more sense.

Apparently BS6 Commander Wolfe is showing up at Barnes & Noble for only $19.99.

Thanks for the tip, I picked one up at Shea/101 today left 4 on the shelf. Procrastination paid off for once.

Red Mountain Target- I saw about a dozen of the Emperor/Luke/Royal Guards marked down to $7.48.

Either you were seeing double or someone came by and bought a bunch of these. Desiree stopped by on her way home and bought the last six (or at least that's all she could find).

Thx for the info I guess that saves me a trip there in the morning I was going to go there and pick up two sets.

Desert_Trooper · Jul 19, 2018

Sorry I forgot to put in my post that the Emperor/Luke/Royal Guard set were in two different locations in the SW aisle. There were some above the Force Link Han sets and some mixed in with the Black Series figures. There were six on each peg.

Sorry. Didn't know anyone else was looking for them, but from what DesertTrooper mentioned, it sounds like she missed an area anyway, so you should be set.

Ares_X · Jul 20, 2018

BS6 Commander Wolffe now on ShopDisney

Ares_X · Jul 20, 2018

There's rumor that the BS6 Zuckuss, that was a TRU exclusive, may become a Disney Store Exclusive. I really don't care who carries it as long as I can eventually get it and the BS6 battle-damaged Phasma.

Ares_X · Jul 20, 2018

I know Thursday is not the big day at SDCC, but so far the only thing I've seen that I didn't know about already was the new Mighty Muggs and I really don't care about them.

AaylaSecurasMan · Jul 20, 2018

I got the ROTJ 3-pack for $12.48 from the Ocotillo target, I guess is going back when I see the $7 ones.

The Targets in our area haven't dropped to $7.48 yet. And don't believe BrickSeek about Germann & Gilbert. Desiree has checked there the last two days and they're still $12.48.

Ares_X · Jul 20, 2018

This is pretty sharp!

$575
ships 4th quarter 2019

I want to know how they're handling the hovering lightsaber.

Ares_X · Jul 20, 2018

For those planning on filling your BS6 Blockade Runner that you'll never get, here's a whole case of BS6 Rebel Fleet Troopers.

TLJ 5-pack available at Entertainment Earth.

$39.99
Due out in December

Easy pass for me. Holo Maz is the only new figure and I can do with out that horrible looking blue blob.

Hoping the Vandor-1 playset is the front car of the train and at least one additional car. I think that's being too hopeful though.

No mention of a Vintage Skiff. This is very surprising. I could've probably got more for mine.

The Gentle Giant PGM Holiday bust

Kielbassa · Jul 20, 2018

I received my ROTS Funko Smuggler’s Bounty box today with no prior shipping notice. Hadn’t seen any box spoilers either, so I was pretty surprised by the Pop! and other items.

Stopped at the RM Target this afternoon and picked up 2 of the 3 ROTJ 3packs from the pegs, left one with a lesser paint job on the red guard. THX for all the info DT !

So the only "Holiday Part" of the bust is the fact that it is the literal Holiday Special Boba Fett, no Christmas lights you can't remove? LOL.

Not exactly what I was hoping for in a playset.

I'm glad to see a Stormtrooper coming to the Vintage line. I'm anxious to see what it looks like side by side to the Rogue One Stormtrooper. It will be nice to have some new SA ones !

Those suck! I will probably wait until they hit clearance to get them, if I get them at all.

I have always hated when characters are printed on the playsets. This never worked for me as a kid because they were always there. You couldn't kill them. They never reacted to the figures. They just remained still. Plus they always looked out of proportion with the regular figures. That's one thing I really liked about the Death Star Playset, unlike the Creature Cantina and Cantina Adventure Set (Mos Eisley street that came with blue Snaggletooth).

Ares_X · Jul 21, 2018

I received shipping notification for both SDCC Pop! figures. The Patrol Trooper arrives today and Cad Bane is due on Tuesday.
