Ross stores continue to receive a variety of random Hasbro Star Wars item; seemingly on a weekly basis. If you have a Ross in your area, share with us what you’re finding here in the comments or in our forums.
Personal Note: The red A-Wing from TLJ continues to elude me at Ross, but I did pick one up via eBay for a fair price. I must say, that thing is awesome.
We are starting to really see the benefit that photo-real technology has on bringing realism to some classic characters, such as Luke Skywalker. The facial features on these figures compared to older counterparts is stunning.
And as we know, Hasbro has dug into the same well over and over many times through the years… and as long as the figures have been improvements over previous versions, many of us have happily purchased the product (nearly the same product as before).
Here we are in 2019… many of us have been invested in the modern hobby for 20+ years… so, how many characters do you want to see Hasbro visit again with photo-real? Are you willing to jump back into the prequels again with a Chancellor Palpatine, Padme, etc? Or just OT classics like Luke and Han Solo? Or not at all?
Share your thoughts after the jump!
Personal Note: I’m in it for the long haul. I’ll purchase nearly any 3.75″ product that is an upgrade over the older version… especially for the OT era. And I guess sequel era too, I just don’t have room for much prequel stuff anymore. Older versions of figures go into my custom fodder supplies.
Keep an eye on your email inboxes and get ready for some new greatness from The Vintage Collection! Hasbro’s latest TVC offerings are beginning to ship now from e-tailers (depending on where you may have pre-ordered from, your experiences may vary).
Red Brick Collectibles will be hosting their first collector show in the St. Louis area on Sunday, September 15 at the Luina Event Center, located at 4532 S Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis MO 63127.
The owners (Ron and Wade) are great guys that I’ve personally dealt with many times over the years. Check out the details by clicking here!
Over a year ago, we began multiple rounds of fan voting by Yakface readers to help identify just which figures our readers wanted to see Hasbro make the most from The Vintage Collection and The Black Series.
The final numbers are in, and we have posted them in our forums. I think it’s safe to say that the interest in the Original Trilogy still holds very strong based on these results, and both 3.75″ and 6″ totals came to the same “Most Wanted” figure.
Find out which character that is, and check out the full results at the links below!
We all know that Luke Skywalker experienced great conflict in The Last Jedi, but I don’t think we were expecting Hasbro’s photo-real tech to emulate such a range of emotions on the new Luke Skywalker figure (VC 146).
For those that have gotten their hands on this figure, what are your impressions? I have two of them now… one looks really good and I love it; but the other one… not so much.
Let us know your thoughts after the jump!
UPDATE – New expressions added!
This morning while out and about, I swung by my local Ross and while I can’t seem to luck into finding the red Resistance A-Wing, I did come across some deluxe Force Link sets for $6.99.
Good luck, happy toy hunting, and let us know what you’re seeing at your local discount stores!
Be on the lookout if you ordered the TVC Crait Luke Skywalker wave from Hasbro Pulse, as they are arriving on doorsteps now. Thanks to forum member darth_sidious for the report!
You may recall that back in March, Rogue One figures were showing up at Dollar Tree stores for just $1.00 each.
More Star Wars product has been showing up at various Dollar Tree stores recently for just a buck, such as Hot Wheels Battle Rollers and Black Series Titanium Vehicles.
As always, your mileage and experiences may vary. Good luck and let us know of your finds (or lack thereof)!
Holeinthegroundpro is at it again with another fantastic offering for all you playset and diorama fans with a new set of Detention Center Lobby Parts.
