Anyone seen a General Hux 6 inch? Has he been released here?
eBay price is too silly!
I know right? I need him too but eBay is ridiculous! Even premiumcollectables is scalping him on eBay for over $120!
Sadly he was never released here.:(
Holy shit! I honestly would have thought he would have been considered a peg warmer. Wow!
i think that's a different premiumcollectables...Quote:

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
Found number 21 Luke Skwalker
19 Kanan Jarrus
20 Ahsoka Tano
At a toyworld of all places in Nt Queensland 40 bucks tho a bit steep i thought but they must be showing up in other places soon
Ah sweet. Anyone know how long will it be till they start appearing at the normal retail chains at $35?Quote:

No wonder they still have them in stock.
toys r us at chadstone has a bunch more 6" black series figures. about 5 or 6 each of jango fett, finn as a stormtrooper with the marked helmet, captain phasma, first order flametrooper and han solo.
The General Hux and Asty wave has been found at a Myer in Sydney!
i'm confused. weren't they in the wave prior to jango fett/old man solo wave?Quote:

When you are browsing ebay and see this kind of thing in descriptions, do you think it's pretty likely they are KO?
"Condition: 95% new, No original package ! !"
"100% Brand new & High quality.but without box,will use hard box to protect it well."
"Include: 1Pcs Star Wars Figure as shown in the picture
Condition: Brand New but without box,we will use hard box to protect it."
"Manufacture:From hasbro factory in China, but no official certification. Same quality!"
:confused:
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.
Tie Fighter is down to $249 at Myer (to me, that should be initial price, $399 is way too much)
whoops missed out on the Star Wars Exclusive Black Series 6" Figure Rey Starkiller Base order at premiumcollectibles...Comes out in may apparently xD
You can get it for $224 via eBay from Myer: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Star-Wars...QAAOSwWTRWzOzDQuote:

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.
Anyone seen the Black Series General Hux around Sydney recently ?
Unfortunately it was confirmed to be an accident when the General Hux wave showed up here.:(Quote:

there seem to be a shitload of black series flametroopers around. when retail stores order them from hasbro do you get more of some figures?
^ Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens Black Series 6" Figure Wave 1 2016 Case of 6 contains 2 Flametroopers.
Probably why there is a shipload of Flametroopers around. ;)
The worst part of it is that they're packing more of them in future cases.:rolleyes:
On the other hand the Ahsoka, Kannan and ANH Luke wave have been found at various Big Ws around the country.
Ah ok, so only 1 more. It's weird though, for quite a while the stores I went to ONLY had flametroopers visible and lots of them.Quote:

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.
Best REgards
What do you think? I don't want to pay $99us plus shipping for 1 6" black series figure but i also don't want to support illegal manufacturing...
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.
