Got Ross?

Hasbro’s “Wal-Mart Exclusive” Black Series AT-ST is showing up at some Ross stores for a mere $21.99 – one heck of a price for this spectacular vehicle and driver figure.

Personal Note:  Chalk this up to another miscalculation by Hasbro… while they made the legs more sturdy, and this is a fantastic toy, the standard MSRP of $59.99 is just too much for a vehicle that has seen multiple releases over the past decade; especially when the target audience is people who probably have already bought multiples of it.

However, if it came with a Jedha rebel, and perhaps a small Jedha building wall section, this would have been a smash hit – but that kind of thinking probably doesn’t even cross Hasbro’s mind.

The Last Jedi: Spoiler Discussions Continue

After a lot of discussions on the latest Star Wars film both here and in our forums, and not being overly happy with the film the first time, I decided to let the dust settle a bit before seeing it again.  And now that I have, my opinion on the movie is much better than it was a week ago at this time.

Thoughts?  If you’ve seen it more than once, has your opinion changed any after seeing it again?   Share your feelings (for better or for worse) on the latest chapter in the saga after the jump!

How well are TLJ figures selling?

Retailers need to have a good sell-through this holiday season, and from what I am starting to witness the week before Christmas, Hasbro’s line appears to be moving better right now than it was at this time in 2015/2016.

How about in your area?  Are things moving, or does it look like a retail disaster?  Share your thoughts and store reports after the jump!

Jyn Erso Deja Vu

So here were are the week before Christmas, and the same time TLJ his theaters… and another 3.75″ wave is starting to show up; wich includes a very familar face from the past year in Rogue One packaging.

Personal Note:  While I applaud Hasbro for getting another 3.75″ assortment out right now, I have to question why they included this figure of Jyn.  She is probably just going to add to the logjam of Hux, Rose and Finn that are already colllecting dust… 

We all love Jyn, but she’s essentially a carry forward figure that pegwarmed like crazy all of last year.  Is this the best you can do, Hasbro?  How about throwing in a bizarre alien from Canto Bight instead?  Or a resitance trooper with some removable gear?  Or include a First Order Stormtrooper again?  Sigh.

Am I right?  Or being too harsh?  Share your thoughts and recent finds in the forums!
