Like I'd said months ago, I'm a total sucker for troopers, and my real interest in the Black series came when more and more troopers were being made. At first I had a passing interest only; now, when I saw the post about your preorder, I just yelled "I want those!" and got all surly. My wife is the one who told me to order them, probably so she wouldn't have to put up with my complaining about not having gotten them later.

Kylo Ren is really nice. His robe is cloth, but his lightsaber can get a little bent coming out of the package. But he is a very nice figure.

Thanks Dagon for the input. Much appreciated. No luck in finding the 6in Ren, so I grabbed the Funko Pop vinyl instead to tide me over. Was only able to check Target tonight.

All I was able to get was Bedpan Luke with that Backpack thing. It's a bonus because his blaster is removable from the holster bringing his accessory count to 3. Unlike the other figures he doesn't have a ball jointed head. Hopefully I can get more off Amazon when they restock like Captain Phantasam. FYI it's been confirmed that only Wal-Mart is getting the 4" Black series figures. All I've heard is Kylo Renandstimpy is part of the wave. Kinda reminds me we never DID get a Black 4" Bubba Fett.

Yesterday I picked up the SWB 6-inch Anakin Skywalker, and the Mara Jade Kotobukiya statue from my LCS. It was a good day!

Hey all this is my ONE purchase from Force Friday and I'd thought I share. I think we all know what to expect from this Luke Skywalker; 5 POA, gimmick accessory, but wait! The blaster is removable from the holster so you get a bonus! There's no doubt in my mind these will be around for a loong while so only pick it up if you want.

Anyone got those Force Awakens Micro Machines playsets yet? coz the Imperial Star Destroyer & Millennium Falcon ones look effing awesome! + with the Falcon one your literally getting two Falcons for the price of one

I just picked up the 3.75" Phasma and the 6" Black Series First Order Snowtrooper Commander, the TRU exclusive.

News Credits: 332 · Fri Oct 16, 2015 10:59 pm

Rather recently I got the 4" Bobba Fett, Phasma, and then thanks to a steal on Amazon; Stormtrooper, Vader, and the new girl hero so I can build that gun thingy. I also got the Han and Lea two pack.

I want Rebels to come onto Netflix already... I don't have cable.

Is it as good as Clone Wars?

I'm waiting for Netflix.......becuase I still need to finish Clone Wars.

My wife got December 17th tickets Monday night!

I've got a question, my Star Wars bros. I'm looking to buy a 6" Sandtrooper commander, with the orange shoulder pad. I'm wondering if anyone has one for a reasonable price, as I have no desire to pay the 50+ that they go for on Amazon/eBay.
I am looking to pay around 20-25 for a loose one, or 30-35 for a boxed one, and I'd prefer one boxed, because I am keeping the boxes for the Black Series figures, but it doesn't have to be sealed or anything, just in good shape. I've found some loose ones on eBay for about 20-25, but I'd rather try here first, because at least on Seibertron, I know I'm dealing with collectors.
I can pay via PayPal as soon as this evening, and I live in Chicago for shipping purposes.

If anyone can help out, let me know. I'm going to post this in Carbombya as well, but just PM me if you want to do business.

Having seen my friend's Black Series display I've finally decided to start investing, a little late to the party. I went down to my local TRU yesterday and bought #03 Luke Skywalker (ROTJ), Darth Vader and Chewbacca.

Does anybody have any recommendations of 'must haves'? I'm not in this for completism, strictly cherry picking. So far I've identified:

- Bespin Luke Skywalker (possibly)
- Boba Fett
- Han Solo
- Kylo Ren.

Finally!

Tue Oct 27, 2015 9:30 pm

I also got the First Order trooper, and I got the First Order Elite pilot.

But Dagon, doesn't the elite pilot come with the enormous TIE fighter?

Yes. Yes he does. Which means I also got the enormous TIE fighter.

How is that Palpatine? I've never seen one in stores, but I'm not sure if I should try for it on the secondary market.

I got the Poe/Riot Trooper two pack.

News Credits: 26 · Sat Dec 05, 2015 9:43 pm

He comes with a cane no lightsaber.If you pull his hood down he is very much like he was in ROTJ.

I found a 6" Gauvian Enforcer guy and I got the Battlefront Shocktrooper.

I like the look of the Enforcer, although my wife says he looks like a Batman villain. Kinda like Deadshot and Inque from Batman Beyond rolled into one.

Also, the Entertainment Earth and Amazon exclusive four packs have both arrived by now, and I am quite glad I ordered them.
