He was slated to be re-released a few years ago - maybe right before the pandemic. Hasbro pulled him and said his construction or something wasn’t up to current standards. I took to mean something about his tooling made him too expensive to produce at the time. His Black figure had to have been announced shortly after that so maybe they thought the TVC re-release would cut into desire for the upcoming Black series figure.

Pretty pleased with the Gaming Greats lineup as well as the long overdue Rogue One Blue Leader. Repaints might not always be ideal, but I prefer them when they're delivering new characters/variations to the line.

The Revan repack announcement was in 2019. There was a lot of vocal outcry from fans over the "outdated" sculpt, and then the repack was quietly cancelled. I always took this as Hasbro listening to fans, but I did read some rumors later on that Hasbro actually lost the original molds for Revan. Bummer about the purge Trooper. 14.99 plus shipping is too much for me.

I would love for the Old Republic Trooper to be re-released

I’m for Starkiller too!!! And yeah, Paul sucks!!!!!! Just think about this, he complained and complained to Hasbro to make more TVC, and now they revealed literally 2x more TVC than Black Series, and all he does is complain about how we all need to vote for weequay and that the Gaming Greats figures should not say “Star Wars” on the cards because they aren’t from “Star Wars” (episode 4)!!! Man what a whiny loser

There was a rumor that the hasbro team literally forgot that they announced him and later went with the “we’re updating the sculpt” which obviously never happened- or something like that. There’s a few dueling rumors out there
Bummer about the purge Trooper. 14.99 plus shipping is too much for me. The Purge Trooper is also available from BBTS, for a couple bucks more. If you use their pile of loot system regularly than it's sort of like not paying shipping on it. That's what I did.

On the other hand, he is so easy to set off. I love watching commenters spin him so easily. Such thin skin. Last edited by PFC Hudson; 04-12-2021 at 02:56 PM.. |
