I think the book is mostly just what holds the discs. Looking at the picture, I think that’s all it is

I think the silver book holds the discs. I think the book with the McQuarrie shuttle picture is something else.

I’m thinking there’s only one book. Looking at the Best Buy page, you can see 2 discs poking out of the top of the open book.

You're right. So what's the silver book or whatever it is? There has to be something special about this set or why is it exclusive to Best Buy and why would I pay $250 for it?

Hasbro has officially had their license extended from Disney for Star Wars and Marvel toys. Maybe Hasbro will actually start distributing some new products now.

Here's a video of the animatronic baby Yoda in action.

Is that a reason we haven’t gotten a whole lot? It seems a new wave for marvel legends is about every 2 freakin weeks...

Not sure, but I'm hoping. Something has to change with the way it's being handled and I'm not sure if it's at the Hasbro level or the retailer level.

Clone Wars was AWESOME! Oh how I have missed it.

Here's a little more info on the Star Wars movies 4K releases. I have seen some discussions here about it:

Universal sets Sam Mendes’ 1917 for release on Blu-ray, DVD & 4K on 3/24 (plus a big Star Wars 4K update)

All right, we have a major new title announcement for you today, plus a significant Star Wars 4K update. Let’s start with the announcement: Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has just set Sam Mendes’ 1917 for release on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on 3/24, with the Digital release expected...

An excellent episode; glad they brought it back.

 

[AaylaSecurasMan]

Clone Wars was AWESOME! Oh how I have missed it.

I agree, watched it this morning with my teenage son, he was 5-6 when it started back in 2008 so we both are glad is back.

Thanks! That's the most information I have seen so far. Not loving the covers on the individual sets and I hate the cover for TROS. I need to do some research and see how much getting all of them separately on 4K will cost.

 

[Ares_X]

No Clone Wars spoilers PLEASE. We didn't get to watch it this morning and plan to tomorrow.

 

[Ares_X]

AWESOME!!!


Black Series



The new Bespin Luke & Han likenesses are a lot better.


Vintage Collection

 

[AaylaSecurasMan]

I preordered TVC Jedi Luke and Power Droid just now from Pulse.

Is Jedi Luke different than the original one?

 

[The_Sith_Sense]

And the Hoth Soldier INCLUDES 3 heads.

Been trying to catch up on CW so the fact you had to scroll to season 7, instead of being it’s own thing and same intro, etc made me very happy- on top of it being a great episode.

 

[Ares_X]

I received an email from Amazon that the Pop! Mandalorian on Blurg should arrive on Tuesday. Way sooner than the April date they originally gave me.

 

[Ares_X]

And the Hoth Soldier INCLUDES 3 heads.

I didn't realize that. Then I will be getting at least 3 of them for just that reason.

TESB Retro figures available for preorder at Walmart.com. Apparently they are Walmart exclusives . Preordered a full set + an extra Bespin Luke

Thanks, Boba is sold out, but I got the rest.

What Boba?

 

[AaylaSecurasMan]

Retro TESB Boba Fett

 

[DesertSniper77]

A lot of stuff we already knew about from previous days revealed at Toy Fair 2020. Some decent stuff but a lot of re hashes. And $149.99 for the Slave 1? $110 for the Snowspeeder. Man that's steep.

 

[DesertSniper77]

I would like them to make some retro stuff of figures we never saw like they did with Tarkin. Or even a Phantom Menace, prequels, sequel trilogy retro would be really cool!

 

[Slave_1]

I thought I'd share a modest little scene I put together, it would be a bigger scene if I had more room but I'm kind of limited so this is what I got for now. I still need to add some more Stormtroopers when I get them.

Looks like I missed out on half of them no Fett, Luke, or Yoda. I hate WM Exclusives!

 

[Ares_X]

Retro TESB Boba Fett

Oh! Cool! Not worried about Retro, but I may get Boba if I find him available.

Nice! Did you make the buildings?

Thx, yeah out of styrofoam and spackling bondo.

I got Retro Han, Leia and Lando ordered; hopefully these will be plentiful in stores. I don't remember seeing any reports of the previous wave hitting any of our local Targets. I got the first wave from EE.

 

[AaylaSecurasMan]

I don’t know why they just didn’t give the retro wave to EE. I also ordered wave 1 from them as I never saw them at Target either. EE shipped them all in the original case shipper inside a box.

Yeah same here and I also got wave 1 from EE.

 

[Ares_X]

Watched Clone Wars this morning and you guys were right, that was a pretty cool episode.

 

[Ares_X]

Scarf/beard/clean shaven

I don't think these are three different heads. I think they're three separate figures you have to track down. I am not seeing any extra heads in this packaging.

 

[Ares_X]

Amazon has the 40th Anniversary Black Series figures available with pre-order price guarantee.

And the Snowspeeder.
