New Galaxy of Adventures Line – Your Thoughts
While new figures from both The Vintage Collection and The Black Series seem to be getting quickly purchased at retail, Hasbro’s new Galaxy of Adventures figures seem to be sticking around longer.
However, the high quality on these might surprise you, especially given the price point of $9.99. Head on over to the forums for a closer look of the one figure I’ve purchased so far, and share your thoughts.
Personal Note: I love the Jet Trooper figure. I only wish these were in 3.75″ scale, and we’d seen this type of quality the past few years instead of the 5poa approach. I’m not interested in a new scale, so I doubt I’ll latch onto this line – but they seem to be very well made and a good value. I just hope it’s enough to start getting kids interested again.
TLJ Vehicles Still Landing at Ross
Ross stores continue to receive shipments of product from The Last Jedi and Solo that never saw intended distribution, and at deep discount prices.

Earlier today, Hasbro presented their panel at New York Comic-Con, and as expected, not much was revealed as nearly everything we’ve reported on by way of our exclusive rumors and reporting.
They don’t make X-Wings like they used to…
Hopefully this is an isolated case, but Yakface staffer Jodo received his new TVC Poe’s X-Wing today, and the back engines were severely warped. Mine also came in the mail today, and didn’t have this problem. Several pics of both of our X-Wings are posted in the forums.
Anyone else noticing any quality control issues with this X-Wing? Let us know, and what your overall thoughts are for this new ship if you’ve gotten your hands on one by now.
Paint Bonding/Flaking Issues with the Carbonized Collection Figures?
We’ve received a few reports about quality issues with the 6” Black Series Carbonized Collection figures. The issues are in regard to paint flaking of if the figures when handled, especially with pliable accessories/parts. This is not good if a wide spread issue.
