In reply to SteveU1. Yeah why get a expensive 5 pos figure when the toy aisles have much more exciting toys and for a more reasonable. Some even Hasbro produces.

What’s the over/under on repacks and repaints to new figures?

Can’t wait to see what’s coming in the first waves. At least they’re being released on the same day. Is there any word on how many figures in each of the waves this time?

In reply to Paulskywalker. Yea was all for the 5poa when they were 5.99 the first year. That was what hasbro was going for. Kids can buy them at low price point. But now they are 8.99-9.99 so the purpose of having them is gone. And the sales show it. For $3 more you can get the SA figures. I just hope they dont screw up the vintage collection next year. That stuff should start leaking in a few months. Cant wait!

In reply to 80sRobot. I think RO was just better in general. Heck even Hot Toys has sold through their Shore Troopers and everyone is still sitting on FIrst Order troopers. he he he

In reply to darthmadonna. I think the RO 3.75" line has been far more popular than Hasbro predicted. In fact, it looks like it's been selling better than the TFA line. The only peg warmers that stick out to me whenever I check the stores lately are the Imperial Crew, Eadu Jyn and Eadu Cassian, and a little of the Jedha Jyn. Good luck finding a K-2SO now.

In reply to SteveU1.

I don’t mind the 5 POA — these are meant for kids and I find this part of their appeal (the figures being toys first and foremost). It’s the lack of availability of popular characters, the way Hasbro holds them back for latter waves or pairs them with less popular characters in two-packs that is most annoying.

The undersized ships and lack of playsets is an issue i agree with.

In reply to SteveU1.

I never stopped with 3.75. LOL I just cant stand 6″ figures. I feel the 5
POA has improved a lot with the exception of articulation. At least
the Rogue One stuff looks good or as if they belong with he rest of my
collection. I even really like the U wing and TIe Striker. THe NErf
thing is not great but with the U wing it was hidden. But most
importantly around me in TAcoma 5 POA is never on the pegs. My
Walmart for months now has stacks and stacks of red boxed 6″ figures and
the same two 5 poa figures hanging on the peg. Leia and Imperial air
traffic controller guy. In fact I am frustrated everywhere I go it is pallets of 6″ and usually zero to a few 5 poas.
