Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are reporting that the new Black Series Stormtrooper (found at Toys”R”us) features some different parts than the most recent mold, including a new helmet. Is this a leap forward, or a step back?
Head on over for the thoughts of our friend Paul Harrison, and feel free to discuss in our forums.
I popped in to my local Go! Calendars store today per their notification that they received a shipment of the Legacy Collection Droid Factory figures. There are some new facts for those interested regarding this bizarre line. Click on through for the details.
Looks like the Black Series 3.75″ wave 7 assortment is making its way across the middle of the US. A local collector friend here in Minnesota found Captain Rex, Dutch Vander and Commander Wolffe at three separate Target stores in the west metro, meaning, they are still splitting up cases to stock store shelves.
In case you absolutely need these for your carded collection, Calendars.com has posted the complete assortment of “cancelled” Legacy Collection figures for order online.
Thanks to DarthTerrible for the heads up.
Update from reader Bryan
I found a coupon code for 20% off and free shipping which got each piece to about $16 and change after taxes. Code is “OFFERS30”
The latest additions to the 3.75″ Black Series line have been found on the pegs in the U.S. Probably not at a place you’d expect, and even less likely at prices you will be thrilled about… head on over to the forums for more details.
The adventures of Rykrof Enloe return to the Yakface Forums today, as the former Clone Wars hero finds himself mixed up in his first major battle of the Galactic Civil War. Head on over to the forums for the full chapter; The 8th Trial: Catastrophe after the jump!
After listing some upcoming 3.75″ scale Black Series figures for $9.99 last week, Hasbrotoyshop.com has bumped up the price by three bucks. Special thanks to forum member darth_sidious for this information.
Personal Note: As for myself, I was on the fence with Chewbacca and Dutch at $9.99, but a $12.99 price tag turns me into not wanting those particular figures in the least. And definitely not the Vader. All of these are basically retreads or are using mostly existing parts, and for that much money, Hasbro needs to do better. Disagree? Share your thoughts afterthe jump!
