Lot of fun one-off characters in Skeleton Crew I'd love to see in Black Series. I wish this line was inclined to take the risk on weird aliens who might not show up again in-universe like the old lines used to.
I see all this bashing of Hasbro who made a two pack for the Disney park which Pulse gets to sell too. Hasbro at least offered some upgrades because I don’t think they’re not idiots. They know Boosh Leia is currently available. So yes Disney their client wanted a literature/nostalgic offering based on the old figures and they want headliners like Luke and Leia. I’m also of the opinion Prince Xizor is going to be used in live action in their coming projects. This is why Shadows is getting some resurgence. I know it was cannon now like the characters from Heir they will be picking characters to use. Maybe they use Dash Rendar too.
Thwipp!
@docsilence, I'm not saying I'd get one, but if they made a cyber-Urkel, I'd seriously consider it.
Pay half price it seems. Loads of half priced item or less this last week. For the costs I grabbed a few extras of things to put in Toys for Tots. Hope some kiddo gets a kick out of the toys I enjoy.
Thwipp!
Picked up Fern and KB at GameStop yesterday. Only missing Wim and Jod. Has anyone found these in big box stores yet?
I picked up a set at my local Walmart. Saw remnants at another.
It's rare I buy Black Series figures but after seeing Robo's recent vid, I ended up picking up two carbonised Royal Guards off Ali Express and yeah, the candy paint sheen to the helmet and armour looks fantastic. The metallic look of the staves doesn't hurt either.
Anyone going to order the Clone Trooper/Super Battle Droid 2 Pack tomorrow that was revealed today for the Gift the Galaxy Program?
I have like 3 of each of those figures at least, so I don't know if I need more. But the set is just $40. So, there is a $10 savings on the 2 figures to add some more army builders to the ranks.
That sounds appealing, but I just don't have space for troop building anymore, as nice as those figures are. I vowed not to get any prequel troops, but broke that as soon as the Droideka came out, which pulled me into the Battle Droid and Super Battle Droid and Magna Guard. Then I wound up with one of each phase I and II clones. Now I have Gree thanks to that Yoda 2pk. And probably that retro carded Cody. I drew a line, then erased it.Anyone going to order the Clone Trooper/Super Battle Droid 2 Pack tomorrow that was revealed today for the Gift the Galaxy Program?

Is the trooper identical to the last one they released? I wouldn't hate having just one extra battle droid (I've got the first one they released) but I don't have the space for army building anymore either. I do like to have one of each trooper variation though.
@docsilence Yep. It's the same Clone Trooper and Super Battle Droid that were individually released earlier this year.
@supercamel-1982 thanks for verifying - I like the clones enough to pick up a lot of variations but don't need any identical troopers anymore.
I got e-mails from Pulse today saying the next Wave of Black Series will ship soon.
I'm talking about the Wave with Dagan Gera, EP IV Luke and Leia, and Acolyte Vernestra Rwoh and Bazil.
So, if you have those pre ordered, be on the lookout for them to charge and ship.
@supercamel-1982 I only got notification about Bazil so far myself, but I did yell BAZIL! out loud when I saw the email. Looks like they've got him listed as Jan. 7 to ship. (Although this reminds me I got the two Acolyte figs through Pulse and the twins over on Amazon.)
