This topic is going to explode by the end of the year. But if episode 1 has taught me anything. Its to wait for the over stock and clearance prices. :) Movie stuff from the last 3 were even showing up in showbags at the easter show.

Pretty ordinary gimmick. It makes the heavy breathing sound.

Give it a try if you see one in store.

That X Wing you saw, was it smaller like to scale with the Falcon?

My wife got me the Falcon for Christmas and would really like to hang an X Wing with it.

Unfortunately not. The X-wing is same size lengthwise in comparison to the Millenium Falcon, perhaps slightly longer.
EDIT: It's over 2 feet long.

Copied it to here...

Not really related to the 6" series, but I spotted a meter tall Fett, Darth, and Chewy at my local BIG W the other day. About $40 each. I was sooooooooooo tempted but the wifes voice popped into my head just as I was advancing towards the registers. I put them back :( In hindsight, I should have taken a photo of all 3 in my shopping trolley and posted it here. It was quite a sight and the look on peoples faces was priceless.
Might have to check it out at my local Big W.

With the Episode 7 around the corner, I'm sweating on a reissue/update of the UCS Mellenium Falcon.

I'd like to see some good non-lego MF toys. Another run of the Hero Series Millennium Falcon would be good, and something a bit more 'play-sized' that's actually decently shaped & detailed. A re-release of the Fine Molds 1/72 Falcon kit would be good too.

How about the Star Wars X-wing Miniatures Game (Fantasy Flight Games) Millennium Falcon? It's a decent looking representation of the ship in a nice compact size. It's nicely detailed but really for display only. It's quite fragile.

The best Falcon toy was the Legacy Collection one. Bigger than that rubbish Hero Series one. And was a playset with lights & sounds.

I bought the Legacy one from TRU for $100 (I remember them having a huge stack of them too), which is how much the Hero one is now. The only difference is time of release.
I also have no idea who either Margot Robbie or Rebel Wilson are.

TRU had the Legacy Collection Millenium Falcon for RRP $250. Compare that to the Hero Series(?) of RRP $100.

I purchased my Legacy Series version on clearance for $150. I thought I got a bargain. But at $100. :eek::cool:

My understanding was that the Legacy was good as a playset - lights, opens up, etc; and the Hero was better as a proportioned representation of the ship. I'm having trouble finding a direct comparison review though.

Either way, my partner has banned me having one in the house. :'-(

Anyone seen the clear headed black series vader in Perth? I've only seen the snow base kylo ren. Also does anyone know the cheapest place to get the think toys interactive kylo ren?

Where in Perth is that snow base Kylo?

Outside of EB Games in the city (which had wave 1 for $48 each) I've not seen ANY Force Awakens Black Series other than lone Finns (obviously remnants of probably the one case stores have got in).

So demoralising. :(

Bought a Captain Phasma (for a mate) and a TRU exclusive First Order Snow Trooper Officer (both BS6).

Wasn't enjoying the $35 price for Phasma nor the $30 for the Trooper, but they had mismatched the entire section and all the BS6 figures were tagged at $22.99.

Needless to say, I politely protested the $65 and walked away having paid $46.

This was at Toys R Us in Morley, WA.

Rey/BB8 were in series 1, which barely hit (apparently TRU in Septemeber). Check EB Games, particularly ones that have that collectible section attached to the store (can't remember what it's called). They had series 1 but at $48 each. May be sold out by now.

Rey/BB8 is also part of series 3, which is just hitting the US now. Rey is reported to have better paint apps as well.

ToysRUs Highpoint (VIC) has one Black Series 6-inch Jango Fett ... hidden behind TF Mini-Con Deployers. Plenty of Flametroopers from the same wave in the Star Wars section.

Price match Myer's offer which ends Sunday (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=512680#post512680).

Hux was part of wave 4. Ello Asty was also part of that wave. It was released in pretty low volume in the US and I believe it's starting to be restocked again, albeit slowly. Both figures are a bit inflated in price because of that. The rest of the wave have been in other waves and therefore are easier to obtain (Rey, Kylo Ren, Tie Fighter, Snowtrooper... although the Snowtrooper hasn't had his second release yet, but it's coming, plus he is essentially the same as the TRU exclusive, just minus the paldron).

I doubt it will hit here, but you never know. Chances are, we'll be left with Hasbro dregs when they move onto future releases and these will turn up for $20 each at The Reject Shop. :D

Likely. Depends on the auction. A lot of them out there are simply bootleg. Exact same figures but obviously not sold by Hasbro.

I guess the term Knock Off would apply to figures that differ. And it depends on the auction.

I'd say definitely acquired illegally (factory stolen) and if not, produced in a weird way that differs from real product.

I picked up the 18 inch Jakks Pacific Yoda from Target the other day. It's only $29, which is LOL given how much the Hasbro Black Series Yoda (and any other Yoda or even figure, really) goes for.

Great value and it's a really great sculpt. Only downside is the lightsaber blade is weirdly thin and he doesn't come with a cane for an OT look.

He's supposed to be to scale to the 31 inch giant figures (you know, the ton of Luke/Han in Stormtrooper outfits that Big W and TRU seem to only have). And there's an R2-D2 in the line... although haven't seen him. Was surprised to see a Yoda.

Anyways, really recommend him. I have nowhere to really put him but couldn't pass him up. So he just hangs out with me at my desk.

I ended up contacting a seller to ask about this. It seems like a pretty big ebay store with all sorts of things, based in china. This is the correspondance so far:

Hi, I'm interested in buying a couple of figures but I'm a little wary of shops which have prices almost too cheap! Are these all legitimate authentic items with all packaging and accessories? Not knock off? Thanks :)

Dear friend,
Thanks for your message, no worries about that, since the item is made in our factory, the price is a little cheap, and you may see that the picture is based on the real item, so the item is just the same as the picture, we won't knock down anything off.

Any other questions concern, please keep in touch.
Best Regards

Thanks heaps for the reply! So are you saying you produce these yourselves, they are not made by Hasbro and you sell them on?

Dear friend,
Thanks for your message, you can check about that, the manufactory is in China, not US.

Which figures you after? I've picked up a few here and there.

- FO Stormtroopers seem the same as Hasbro releases. Same plastic, same everything. Maybe better paintjobs, lol.
- OT Stormtroopers seem different. I think they might use the Sandtrooper headsculpt. I have one and it's definitely different. Still looks perfectly fine though.
- Clone troopers. Same sculpt but different plastic. This is noticeable. Again, not bad, but definitely use a duller grade of plastic so it doesn't have that gloss look.
- Imperial Forces 4 pack. I bought this from Taiwan (I think). It may very well be the official release. Complete in the box (well, R2-Q5 was missing his leg panels in a seal package... seller is sending those out apparently). Quality seems legit. Empire symbol on the TIE pilot doesn't look as tidy as the normal release TIE pilot.
- Shocktrooper. Got this packaged from Hong Kong. Again, seems legit. I do have a loose one coming from China that was like $20 cheaper so I'll compare when that arrives.

Interested to know what this $99 figure is, lol.

I'm after an OT sandtrooper, I'd like an orange one and a black one. Or potentially 2 black ones if they're essentially the same and I might paint it. I never noticed before but some of them say 'star wals' on the box so that's an indicator. While browsing amazon for sandtroopers with the 'prime' option there were a few wanting $99. Even when you choose a seller that says international shipping sometimes they still don't.

The ones on eBay from China are gonna be factory knock offs. So they're legit in a sense that it's pretty much the same figure but it's been made by factory workers to sell as bootleg merchandise rather. As far as I know, the Sandtroopers are the same as any sold by Hasbro. People have reported there is a "bow leg" issue. But I've never bought a Sandtrooper via this method so I can't confirm what quality you'll get it.
