Who Will Lead Your Army?
Hasbro has recently released two very good Stormtrooper figures in the TVC line… ANH Han Solo (removable helmet w/ photo-real technology; Target exclusive) and a basic trooper that marches right out of 2016’s Rogue One.
Now that I have a few of each in my collection, I have my own preference and know which one I plan to “army-build” – but what does everyone else think, or plan to do? Share your thoughts here or in our forums after the jump!
More Star Wars @ Discount Stores
If you have a Burlington Coat Factory in your area, it might be worth swinging by there as you might find 6″ TBS for only $4.99. You may also score 3.75″ TBS for $2.99 each and Solo 2-pks for $4.99 each.
Good luck, and happy hunting!
Isolated Incidents, or a Broader Issue?
Recently, I’ve come across some quality control issues with Hasbro’s new Target exclusive TVC Han Solo (Stormtrooper gear). Bad paint apps, warped helmets, and even melted /deformed plastic.
Hopefully these are isolated incidents, but at least half of these that I’ve seen at retail or have received via online orders have left me disappointed.
