The promo images/renders of Padme look much worse from some photos floating around from the figure displayed at Hasbro's booth at MCM London.
I got the Duel's End Vader from Target's ebay outlet store, but when it came it was a non Duel's End Vader with an Anakin hilt. So, too good to be true heh.
Been seeing a couple posts saying that the pipeline reveal of the Heir to the Empire set is actually a 4 pack, not a 3 pack like originally stated. Don't know if it's true, but that would be nice. Hasbro is usually pretty good with picking their pipeline photos and not having someone in the picture who's not included.
Â
Yep, Yakface is saying it will include 4 figures: Luke Skywalker, Luuke, Mara Jade AND Joruus C’baoth
Surprised we're getting another Mara Jade. Hopefully this one has a new body.
I hope we get Dash Rendar too... he's my biggest Black Series want now.
Â
I would be shocked if they had a new body for Mara. Odds are she'll be the exact same figure we got. Possibly with a little bit of a different color, but I even doubt that. Which is fine by me, I like the body she's on besides the tiny feet that make it hard for her to stand. But I'll see what the set looks like when it's done before I decide if I'm even gonna get it. Now if it had Jacen and Anakin Solo in it, I wouldnt hesitate. But Mara is going to have to be drastically different or better for me to consider it now, especially since I know I'd have to buy yet another lightsaber for her considering Hasbro cheaped out and gave her Jainas.

@ru1977Â So sorry that happened to you, Ru! I've never had to return anything on ebay, but I hope you can get your money back. Do you need Duel's End Vader? I have an extra if you do.
Â
Regarding Padme, I'm not too worried, honestly. There's been a few cases recently where the render didn't look too good, but the final product cleared it up. Provided the face printing is done well, it rarely ends up being a problem. And maybe there's enough time before it releases that Hasbro can tweak that little bit of paint (wishful thinking, right?)
@joshsquash729 thank you for the sympathy! I'm not too worried about it. Their return policy is seller pays shipping so seems like it should be relatively painless, but I definitely won't be using them for figures again. My wife had even warned me it would play out like this heh.
And thank you for the offer! I also already had one so this would have been my second. Even more reason for me not to have bought it but I had a bit of a spree lately and he was cheap and and the last one they had and it was a total impulse buy. So, utterly unnecessary and I hope I've learned my lesson.
Sidenote, I did the same thing when Amazon had the throne room Boba for $12 but that worked out okay. Again, I already had him but...cheap! And I may customize him to be more like my costume since it's a bit of a mishmash from the various Fett suits.

Do any of us ever really learn our lessons, though? 🤣Â If you figure out how to, let me know!
Â
YakFace posted that lots of Black Series have started to arrive in the US from Hasbro's warehouse- Starkiller, Tusken Chieftain, Pyke Soldier, Cad Bane, Mando Fleet Commander, and Baylan. Not that it hasn't already been an expensive few months, but if they could all be in-hand before Christmas, that would be awesome!Â

I can't wait for that Tusken though. Feels like I've had that on preorder for almost a year.

It does say that, but when they deliver a completely different product than what was advertised/you purchased, they are on the hook for that. I got a Commander Rogers with an Indiana Jones melting face guy in it - they refunded me.
Can anyone provide a link to booth pics of Padme from London, please? I just checked the usual sites but none turned up and I'm curious.
@schizm And they actually just refunded me a few moments ago, but didn't give me return instructions yet. So, overall not a terrible experience when rated against someone like Ferrara Market.
If this is a subject that interests you, and just the general state of throw-away-Capitalism; here's a great video. The lightbulb issue is discussed very early on as well.
Just finished watching this - thanks for the link. Very interesting info, presented well.
I am excited for a lot of the new things, but the Luke / Mara / Luuke / C'baoth pack? That is a dream. I will pre order the second it goes up. Luckily I have pulse premium because of the Ghost, so once the set goes up it will be mine. If it does well I hope that means more EU figures are to come. Maybe we will get Talon Karde in the next wave of the comic figures?Â
Â
Honestly if I could choose three comic figures for the next wave, I would choose Talon Karde, Beilert Valance, Eli Vance (since the Thrawn book was adapted to a comic) and Darth Talon. I think doing those would be good for finishing groups we need, adding to groups we need, and starting groups we need.Â
I don't actively want Jodo Kast but I know I will buy him if they make him.Â
Okay, just received my shipping notice for Fives. Hopefully it wasn't substituted for something else.Hey all, Fives is back in stock.
Â
It'd require a wholly new mold with little reuse potential, so it's almost definitely not gonna happen, but I'd love to see a Darth Krayt if we're getting more EU characters. He's one of my favorite Sith Lords to not come from the movies.
