Those guys came in solid cases of 8. You see, TVC figures arrive to stores in sets of 8. Yavin Luke and Skiff Lando shipped in solid cases of 8 Lukes or 8 Landos. Mando figures ship in cases of 2 Dins, 2 Caras, 2 Storms, and 2 Clones.

The ITT discussion everywhere is heartbreaking. Star Wars guys get everything yet they complain about the price, the size, the little details.
Dudes... just be happy you get stuff, us Joe fans are in a huge drought. The little vehicles we did get were all repaints of previous vehicles. This is a brand new toy, add in the Jabba's palace playset and the friggin Khetanna sail barge.

Yeah it makes me laugh when Star Wars guys complain about great figures like the ep2 clone getting repacked Last edited by Yeet; 02-11-2020 at 11:14 PM.. |

All I see in the Walmort is Yavin Luke and a bunch of those gold junk figures.

This is a brand new toy, add in the Jabba's palace playset and the friggin Khetanna sail barge. I think there are cheap skates in all walks of life. I have zero sympathy for anyone who cries about the cost of any hobby. If you can’t afford it then you can’t afford it. Folks have to realize that TVC items aren’t being made for masses of children to help off set production costs. They are being made for a few thousand collectors. This will lead to increased prices. On the flip side the adult mindedness of the line is resulting in some gorgeous stuff. The Barge, The Skiff, The ITT are all amazing looking. I was trading posts with another Tanker on another thread about modern stuff out pacing vintage in after market prices. I believe it is the quality and limited production runs that account for this and honestly would prefer any of the the modern Star Wars Vehicles over their Kennner counter parts. My BMF, Tie Fighter, X Wing, Slave 1, AT-AT, hell even the Land Speeder, Dewback and Tauntauns blow the old ones out of the water. I am very happy with the modern vehicles quality, detail, and scale, as well as most of the figures. But it was not a cheap collection to build. But I suspect the whiners are simply an overly represented faction in the community. I think their incessant bitching just makes them stand out more, especially because they can be so irritating. Have I jumped on a good sale to bluster up my Imperial Troops? Of course. But I always buy at least 1 item at full price, and for troops 6 at full price. If they go in clearance I may reconsider and add 5 more to my ranks. I think those of us who are fine with the retail prices on these adult collectibles simply don’t complain much and so are underrepresented in the community. Case and point. How many Hot Toys collectors complain about price? Very few. If price is a problem you don’t collect Hot Toys. For myself I don’t mind the lull in Joes. It gives me a chance to fill some gaps (I used to have none but had to sell off some modern stuff during tough times) and as I collect many 80s brands (see flickr link below) there is always some line or another that I’m behind on. My own choice, my own fault. Not to mention lulls afford me to back track in vintage Joe restorations. But if Joe was all that I collected I could see the feeling of abandonment. It’s a good time to jump, into SW4” though. The Barge not withstanding. Lots of high end older items are being reissued, some stuff reissued just to get them on vintage card back. Jabba’s Palace was underwhelming though, it was more of a backdrop for your figures display,. Iwill be vindicated however if we get more sections to add to it. I’m so down for more sections! The only real draw to the Jabba’s set was Han in Carbonite and ReeYees on vintage card. They were worth the price alone. We are in sad need of a Squid head update (Tessek to you EU. Nerds). For the record I’d have also backed a USS Flagg or any large ticket ARAH Joe item. Sunbow, Marvel, vintage toy, name it I’m in! Exact vintage or improved, either way I’d have dropped down the cash for at least one. I backed the barge, Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain. Throw me a big ass Joe item and a Legends scale full sized Quinn Jet and I’d back that too!

I took a break, not back full force, but the break helped my sanity.

My instinctive reaction? I expect the storm troopers to get wiped out immediately whenever a case is opened, despite the "dirty" look. Mando will be hard to find as well, at least at first. Cara Dune will always be around. My gut always tends toward clones being undesired as well, but I'll be nothing but pleased to be proven wrong about this. Bottom line, I think if this case assortment isn't just introductory, there will be glut with an even-packed case ratio. Cara Dune will definitely be a problem, and now you have me wondering about whether or not the clone trooper will be as well. Hopefully not.

There were as many topics that you and I agreed on and we disagreed on. Our disagreements were always fair, logical, and mature. You’re a pillar here in my book. On THE issue I agreed with you 100%. Happy to see you posting again. Slainte brother.
