    Can someone help me. I've been waiting forever to get a Rey figure for my collection. Are any new waves going to have her?

    Waves 5 and 6 do not have her. She's in wave 4 and 1 though. If you see anything from wave 4 (Hux, Asty, Tie Fighter Pilot, and Snowtrooper), she would have been in that wave too.

    If you have access to a Kmart, they have an exclusive Rey which started hitting stores last week. Not sure if you are aware of it? It has a snowy display stand that connects to the Kmart exclusive Kylo Ren's stand. BB-8 is not included. As far as I can tell, Rey is the same figure except for some snowy paint apps on her feet.

    Sadly, no Rex. If you are patient you might be able to get ashoka and kanaan off hasbro.com. They were available this weekend. Not sure how fast they sold out. I picked up the Luke that appears to be in a Mego shirt. I still see Rey from time to time. You could also go the Disney route and pick up the Diecast version for $5 more. You can get her with/without a Lightsaber in that series.
    The K-mart exclusive as mentioned above is another option. I am really excited for that figure actually.

    I like the Elite Rey...Not too big so goes well with other BS figures and it's nice having a metal BB-8.

    I'm definitely glad I held off on getting a Rey figure. A friend of mine got me the BS 3-3/4" version, and I'll definitely be picking up the K-Mart exclusive version when I can.

    Man I didn't even realize I posted those lol

    For R2 I used Tamiya Panel Line Accent (Gray). Uses capillary action to spread. Clean up excess with lighter fluid.

    For the Sandtrooper, I used the Tamiya Weather Master kit. Holy cow this stuff is awesome. It even has what looks like grains of sand. Very easy to apply.

    So tonight I felt like opening up Kanan. Man I was laughing at the goofy face they gave him. I've watched all the Rebels episodes and Kanan is not known to smile. He's a serious person. A grump. He also has very distinctive eye brows and beard. I had to fix both as best as I could cause the face looked lame IMO.

    BEFORE - Happy and LAME!

    AFTER - A little more serious looking

    Along side Ahsoka with her eye lift. Sucks that these key details are omitted from these figures.

    Found the new black series 3.75 phasma and co. wave at a walmart tonight. They even had their 3.75 black figures on sale for $9, not sure if it's just that store or others.

    Never been a huge fan of prequel ships. I just think the designs are kind of boring. But these three look pretty neat.

    I love those ships. They are actually some of my favorites from all the star wars ship designs.


    I finally pulled the trigger today and picked up a Mace Windu Figuarts. I have been bouncing back and forth between this and the Shadow Trooper since I have bought the armor for one that I will attempt to build when it comes in with the assistance of the local 501st. But, in the end Mace won out. I was considering the scout trooper, but decided that I could just get the Gentle Giant statue for ~$100 more if I am patient. So, I will probably skip that one.

    Good to know they're starting to show up. Not sure who I'll get first, but I definitely want Han and Phasma. Out of curiosity, does Leia look any better in-person? My only real issue with her are the eyebrows, but they absolutely kill the likeness for me.

    Yup, I was right. I decided to pick up the TFA Falcon + 2 F.O. TIE Fighters pack & do what I could to bring out the details:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The first thing I did was cut away the fixed landing struts (I swear, I don't understand why you would ever want those permanently extended - knock it off, Hasbro!) Then, I did a very light grey wash on each side, lightly wiping the excess from the surface sections as I went.

    Since the PVC used is a fairly yellowish color, so I did a super light white drybrush, with the hope that I could gie the Falcon more of an overall light grey appearance. I actually had to do it a second time in order to get it to show up fairly evenly. But doing this allowed me to see sculpt details I hadn't even considered before! Look at the textured vertical lines going across each individual panel across the underside! When you consider that the "saucer" area of this ship is just a little bigger than a 25-cent coin, that's just mind-blowing attention to detail in the sculpt. Hasbro could've easily overlooked so many of these details, and I have to give them some serious props for going all-out in this regard.

    So yes, I think that these Micro Machines are definitely worth picking up. If you have just a tiny bit of skill with paints (mainly being able to start lightly & build up from that,) you can have an inexpensive fleet that rivals the Fantasy Flight miniatures at a fraction of the cost. And these won't break. ;)

    I got this pack for 50% off.

    I'm all in by now, I might as well grab any other packs that I like or have potential, lol.

    Do all First Order tie fighters have the antenna? I don't see it on the Titanium ship....

    I guess that's okay. The color scheme has been growing on me and I'm not sure I like the antenna all that much anyway.

    Nabbed him! Thanks!!!!!!!

    It looks like the antenna is a part of the FO Tie. But it's so small you'd barely notice if it wasn't there. I never noticed it until you just mentioned it and I looked it up.

    Thanks! I need to get me some of those detailing kits. Lighter fluid, huh. Does that act like a thinner or something?

    Kanan looks awesome. I'm going to follow your lead once I get mine in. As always great work man!

    Yeah, the Mattel ship has a much larger antenna. But I'm fine with this one. I only paid $3.88 for it.
