STAP and Battle Droid

[GNT]

Star Wars: The Black Series STAP and Battle Droid Figure​

Fittingly, Hasbro is following up the SDCC-exclusive Darth Maul and Sith Speeder bundle with another Episode I-inspired figure/vehicle combo. This set includes a fully articulated Battle Droid figure and a STAP vehicle, along with three accessories, including a removable backpack and back antenna.

Price: $49.99

Who’ll be picking up the new Black Series STAP with Battle Droid?

 

[Billy_Ray]

Man, $50.00? Gotta have it though.

Cool, I hope they do a The Clone Wars deco down the road. Need one for Anakin to ride.

$50 is a lot for the Battle Droid/STAP 6" set, but I may get this anyway. It looks great, and I did really enjoy TPM. I do like the weathering on the droid.

That being said, it's amusing that this will be so expensive (for what you're getting) - when I clearly remember the 3.75" "Sneak Peak" version of this set peg-warming for a long time @ retail stores back in the day & eventually getting put on clearance. However, I seriously doubt that will happen with this 6" set

I’m snagging 2 of these to flank the droidekkas and the 4 other standard battle droids I have

Man I still remember driving across town to KB Toyworks on my lunch hour and picking up the Sneak Peek set! Good times

Loved the preview version, it's one of only a small handful of vehicles I kept boxed from TPM, loved the overall presentation of it. Kepp in mind the original release was in POTF2 packaging so it's nice to see it updated to "Episode 1" packaging.

 

[nrnstraswa]

Love the retro style packaging.

 

[Ham_Salad]

I have fond memories of Target being overloaded with the old POTF2 sneak preview STAP. They had so many.

For some reason I have fond memories of getting this also, always loved this set. Hard to resist

 

[Doop]

Definite purchase. Love to see them start dipping their toes into vehicles again.

100% ... it being supposed to be PulseCon Excl., I bet Premium Members will again get a advanced PO-window, so I finaly hit the button on the membership yesterday, too

I thought the price was a little high too, but then I remembered the BS Speeder bikes, in my area anyway, started at $59.99

Man, once again that packaging is pure joy!

 

[Wishing_Well]

Bandai Model Kit made this same set about 6-8 years ago, $40-$45 back then. I think Hasbro charging $50 is fair…mostly.

 

[AgentClaret]

Great set but $50 is way too much for it.

I'll snag one on sale/clearance or I'll just live without it.

I'm increasingly feeling like that with most Hasbro product lately.

 

[Nighthawk]

pass for me.

 

[Tyranusspotting]

Neat throwback packaging, though not accurate to the green POTF II original from 1998.

 

[rnbuda]

Man, once again that packaging is pure joy!

It makes it so tempting along with the Maul

 

[Wishing_Well]

Something always bugged me about Hasbro's Battledroid...I think it's the eyes. Are the eyes too big for anyone else?

 

[BlasTech]

I hope this set is available through Gamestop in Canada...

I don't know what you're talking about...

Wish the box had the green branding instead but i still love this. One of my favorite original releases back in the day.

The eyes are too close, they should be more on the sides of the head.

 

[jedimasterc]

I am more interested in the Starduster figure from GU Joe myself.

 

[Highnessness]

A reminder that this set goes up for preorder tomorrow at 4:00PM ET for Premium members, and at 5:00PM ET for the rest of us.

 

[Uncle Gundy]

The POTF packaging would have been better. Does it have firing laser missles?

 

[dthstr1977]

never seen pulse this bad ever.

 

[Nighthawk]

I was able to order the G.I.Joe Starduster figure with no issues. Not interested in this though, so didn't order.

 

[Real_Scooby]

Hit the button and PP-account already got charged, so I expect delivery sometime next week already

 

[Halomite]

Already got my shipping notice.

 

[Stormblooper]

Order two

 

[Kylash327]

Dont buy many black series these days but this I had to get. Just arrived from Pulse. Unfortunatly the blasters on the front are rubbery so theyre a bit bent out of the package, and the handlebars are a bit mishapen as well. The stand also isnt incredibly useful for any kind of dynamic pose, it will just fall over if its not straight up and down. The blaster head and tilt up and down, as well as rotate left to right. The handbars can swivel up and down but theyre connected.

 

[Stormblooper]

My two in UK are arriving today

 

[Real_Scooby]

Just arrived in Austria from Pulse EU

 

[darthchewie]

Yes I like this a lot.

 

[jwickjedi]

How transparent is that base?

 

[Kylash327]

its pretty foggy, its not hard ABS plastic, its more like PVC with some flex.

 

[Real_Scooby]

How transparent is that base?

Not as clear as other Black Series Vehicle stands, it pretty milky/foggy
