I wish there was no recession/high interest rates/pandemic/social media cancel culture and many other bad things. But hey I'd take repaints any day over all of the previously mentioned calamities of various sorts.
At least they're announcing releases of modern 3.75"-4" figures as I don't see that happening with GI Joe anytime soon. Super excited to get StarKiller when released as I never owned any of its previous versions and man that N1 Starfighter is killer and will spend $$ to get that one too. When it comes to paying down debt, I'm all over that for 2023 as I never planned on generating debt by constantly buying toys...Hasbro or any other company has nothing to do with how I manage my impulse purchases, moderation is key!

I think that's why there's no preorders. They don't want to list them at 16.99 now, as they'll be closer to 20 when they release this summer. I thought TVC would be dead in two years, now I'll be surprised to get out of 2023

Also, what's up with that stupid shit where they hold their hand behind the figure like some sort of background? It accomplishes nothing and for whatever reason, infuriates me.
Likely because they're normally talking to us like we're idiots while they do it. I might be in the minority here, but I just don't care about all this pedantic bullshit of having a character based on his look in every scene- especially when they aren't even correct 90% of time Seriously, a BOBF Luke? It's just going to be the Mando Luke minus the accessories-since they won't be screen accurate- even though his outfit won't either. Where's the cool shit? Where's the Inquisitors- the Grand Inquisitor is now featured heavily in cartoons and live action- where is he? And that's to say nothing of hte slow roll on the Bad Batch and not a single member of the Ghost Crew. And what about high Republic? I don't know if that's good stuff, but I know the Jedi look cool as shit. and at some point, they should make some fucking Jedi. It's really fucking strange that Clones have largely overtaken the Star Wars lore in the media.

Clones have taken over because they are easy repaints.
Stuff like Book Luke? Because it's an easy repaint. |

Hasbro just put up a restock of the last wave of Vintage a collection figures. If anyone is looking for Mandalorian Luke (Imperial Light Cruiser), The Klatooinian Raider, Cal Kestis, the Artillery Stormtrooper, or the new D+ Cassian Andor figure hit me up. I just ordered a few cases of each.

I ordered a few cases of all 5 figures. Should have them in hand within a few days. If anyone wants any, case fresh PM me. Otherwise they'll go to the Ebay wolves.

Now that's smart and it's called being selective with your purchases while divesting your funds where it makes most sense. I still don't see how Hasbro is making it easier for you by delivering product that generates consumer dissatisfaction. On the flip side of the argument, what if Hasbro managed with each and every SW TVC product release to knock it out of the park? It'd be insane to even attempt to blame them for their consistently perfectionist and innovative approach to please the fans by giving us flawless executions of our favorite SW characters. Would you buy every single figure that would lead to excessive spending? At the end of the day, we decide how to spend our $$ the same way we decide to save it, invest it or pay down debt.
and i dont buy toys on credit. either i pay for it or i dont get it. this is for like, an appliance, or car repair, or something else adult related and not fun. i would LIKE to be buying o-ring gijoes and star wars figures, but hasbro is choosing to make the stuff im not interested in. so it's an easy, albeit lame, choice for me to make. |
