Hasbro Preview showcase at RebelscumNot much new yet, too early. It sounds like a new Imperial Troop Transport will be revealed. Good news is that it's confirmed that vintage collection Starkiller and Darth Malgus are reshipping on new cards. I got two Malgus and never opened one because prices kept rises and it seemed like I might want the money more. Damn I hate that about Star Wars collecting.

New figures are on different cards though, so some value will remain...but yeah, it kind of blows if you're trying to collect something really rare.
I have a feeling Star Wars may finally get the treatment it deserves.
JJ Abrams posted the new X-wing from Episode VII, it looks just like the concept art from "A New Hope." Yeah, he gets it.

I really don't want to collect rare figures. I was trying not to buy anything to keep MOC. I wanted a Malgus to open but never did because I thought that the money would be better than some figure I'd probably sit in a case and look at. Now, I can maybe get the new one on the ugly card and sell one of the vintage carded ones...eventually. It seems like EU figures are FORBIDDEN by Disney/Lucasfilm after these reissues, so I can only assume prices on them will rise. I just might retire on Malgus and those comic packs I never opened! LOL.

Hasbro's Star Wars Panel photosNothing too exciting and most of it slated for early 2015. New medal ceremony Leia. Some CW cartoon clone commander in realistic style...sort of...they look to reuse the 5 POA "Legends" torso with new limbs. 6" Bossk...ah, when coolness overrides character importance. Not a 6" Lando in site. Or Ewok. Cool Wampa, if only it was 3 3/4" scale. There's a REBELS Imperial troop transport, it's a bit smallish and has that lame painted on windows thing.

The 6" figures look cool, but I really feel like the bad details are too exposed at this scale. They aren't going to make a TIE-Fighter for the 6" figures, so why do a TIE-Fighter Pilot? The Ceremonial Leia is awesome. The figure is a nice representation of Leia. Something missing in the new edited Star Wars movies is Leia's cleavage shot when she puts the medals on the heroes Luke and Han. It's kind of perverted of me to notice, but they actually trimmed the frame so you can't see it, even on the so-called original DVDs. You need the VHS copies or maybe laser disc, to even know what I'm talking about. Shit like this really pisses me off. Don't fuck with my Star Wars movies. It makes me question how much other shit has been slightly changed. I honestly can't remember if it's when she puts it on Han or Luke, (I think it's Han though) she really has to lean forward to give him the medal I also think it has to be in full-screen format, not widescreen, but again, it's been so long I'm not sure anymore. Star Wars is still fun somehow, but it pisses me off. I'm going to go work on my Destro custom |
