Black Series reveals,

The Armourer
Incinerator Trooper
Boba Fett (ROTJ)
Dark Rey
Jar Jar

Definitely want the Armourer and the Incinerator Trooper. Might get Boba Fett as I prefer the ROTJ colours and also his weapon to the ESB version.

 

There can be only one Ni crew!

 

I'm Belfast. Ironically I used to work in Newry until last Xmas so had access to even more Smyths (is it Grumblor who is Newry I think?)

Also I tend only to check the most recent page of this thread so usually miss most of the banter and roll calls!

 

All of 2020 is the monkey's paw payment for the existence of this guy.

 

Newry’s the Smyths I go to most often, it’s the closest besides the one in Dundalk!

in fact, it’s where I bought an Airwave this very evening.

 

I'm in for all of those, except Dark Rey, which was a stupid bit in a stupid film that didn't actually do anything and was on screen for five seconds. Give us Kallus or Pryce or ANYONE else.

 

HasLab 3.75" Razor Crest is ON!

$350, 30" long, 20" wide and 10" tall on landing gear.

Initially comes with 1 figure.

Ideas for extras,

Kuill
Blurrgs
The fish dude in carbonite from the first episode
A tiny, non posable Child
A couple of thieving Jawas


@DaftRaider,
Jar Jar & Dark Rey are from outside my SW canon  

Agent Callus might break the face printing machines if they attempt that amount of facial hair!  

 

#JusticeforJarJar

The amount of abuse Ahmed Best got for playing Jar Jar, even pushing him into considering suicide(!) really made me reexamine Jar Jar as a character and I ended up actually liking him more than I used to.

Dark Rey was just a bad scene in a film that really REALLY needed another run through the edit suite  

 

Will anyone who gets both the pit of justice and Jar Jar be tempted to do a cross over?

 

Coming back to the Quintesson judge, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate how metal the Quintesson symbol on the box is. It looks like it belongs on the cover of a Dethklok album.

If I were still collecting black series I'd be all over that Armourer. Very cool. Black series jar jar? Y'know, he'll probably sell. Prequel era stuff is pretty popular now.

 

 
Decided to keep all my pre-orders on with IDT - I don't like messing folk about plus I don't want to scratch about trying to find the out of stock stuff through other outlets - that was the whole point of the pre-orders to begin with, eh!  

So them Kingdom Beast Wars reveals hey! Any one need a Rhinox and/or a Rattrap boxing up and posting out this weekend? Drop me a combined offer for both why dontcha!   #BoiBePimpin

 

I feel like they can bond over fragging space fascists  

 

That kind of abuse was definitely unwarranted because at the end of the day they're only films but it doesn't change my feeling on the prequels in general, they're of no value to me and the sequels even less so given as I have never seen all but the first one.

 

I'd still love to get a definitive answer on the theory that Jar Jar was intended to be the anti-Yoda - that is that he was a Sithlord only pretending to be a silly alien much like how Yoda first seems to be a silly little green alien.
Also there's how Jar Jar's eyes do look a LOT like the 'Sith' eyes they gave Anakin later. And then there's the number of coincidences like how he just happens to bump into Obi-wan and Qui-gon on Naboo for example? And who is it who ends up with the deciding vote to give Palpatine special powers?
People have also pointed out just how 'lucky' he got in the battle on Naboo in Phantom Menace and how the way he moves resembles the drunken master combat style.
Ahmed Best even claims to have filmed a scene with Palpatine's actor along these lines but I've only read that second hand so I'm not 100% sure if it's true or not, but this is a fan theory I find very convincing and I could easily see it as having been intended but then changed due to fans disliking and/or liking Jar Jar too much as a 'good guy' for them to rewrite the plans for the other prequels

I'm probably missing some of the key points of the theory but there should be plenty of places you can find with Google which detail the theory in more... detail but it's a theory I find quite fascinating.

...

All that said, to be honest I never really minded Jar Jar though my brother hated him. I think a lot of it stems from people who pretend like Star Wars has never had silly characters or kid appeal characters which is patently untrue, afterall George Lucas was one of the first directors to catch on to the power of movie merchandising.

 

Just placed an order for Haslab Razor's Crest. Damn you Mandalorian for getting me back on to Star Wars collecting.

 

Bloody Hasbro. They're making it VERY hard for me to stick to my decision to not get into Star Wars figures AND, once again, the BAF I would like is in a wave in which there's not one single figure that I actually want. Tsk.

 

33% funded already... Hero Quest is 150% funded with 42 days left.

I'm not sure what this means for a new Transformers project. It's the only one that's needed extending save the Elmo fail.

The other way to look at it is the price point of $300-400 is the sweet spot. If they have a TF one in that price bracket, which The Ark may fit the bill for, then they might expect that to fly too.

Edit: totally didn't intend the pun there, but hey ho!

 

Ooh... Commander Cody...



EDIT: Hah! I KNEW Cad Bane would get a release in the main line without Todo. I am justified in not wasting my time trying to get the SDCC version!

 

Is The Razorcrest the first popular culture ship to ever canonically have a toilet that is actually rendered as part of its toy version?
