It appears that the moss on the top of the Endor Bunker playset is glued on separately, unlike the sculpted moss at the base. This is good news for anyone with the inclination and ambition to remove it in favor of their own Imperial landscaping. (Good luck!)

Video review for Paz Vizla deluxe figure. https://youtu.be/vOq05AC2-5I

My concerns about the helmet being an odd shape or too small have been assuaged, looks great to me! Can't wait for this one.

I watched that last night, love his reviews! Paz looks to be a winner, looking forward to overpaying for him!

Dude, it is by far the best Stormtrooper action figure in this scale, it's pure hand candy!

Ahhh Wal-Mart, such BS! The original price was 13.99 I think? I don't remember since I missed Wal-Marts pre-order.


They're 14.99 at EE though, that's where I picked these up from (they had them at BBTS too, but I think they've sold out).

That's a mighty fine stormtrooper. Glad to see it's been used elsewhere already. I'm waiting patiently for the inevitable troop-builder set 2.0.

OK, thanks for pointing that out. $20 each is a "no", $15 each is a "maybe"?

I need to go count how many STs I have before I pull the trigger. I bought a decent amount of the Rogue One versions, but they don't have the holster. Gotta have the holster!

BBTS sez my Klatoonian Raider, Mando Luke and Cal Kestis from Jedi Survivor are on their way to my PoL. Pretty happy, haven't had a new TVC figure to open in a dog's age.

Definitely! The holster is a nice addition, but the real improvement over the R1 stormy is the rocker ankles. There's been a few other variations with rockers from Mandalorian and such, but this is the only OT specific one with rockers that I'm aware of.

Get those bargains where you can. Hasbro profits are disappointing, stocks are falling, and Chris Cocks just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Lazy Bastard Question Time: anybody know how Reva looks on Maul's TPM Sith Speeder? I could probably maybe remember where I stored it away and might could possibly dig it out; but maybe one of my esteemed fellows has such a combo handy to have an opinion on it.

I have the Maul w/Speeder out on one of my shelves. I'll see if I can track down my loose Reva and snap a pic tonight for ya!

She’s a bit too small for her to fit properly with her feet on the pegs and butt in the seat. She does look decent enough on it I think though.

Are these different from the 4 pack figures?
