Yeah since I only have space for one and the 2007 is the far superior one that is the one I kept.

I long ago moved on from 3 3/4" to 1/6 but many of those "special" vehicles I just can't sell. They are so well done, and amazing that a few of them still use parts of the vintage molds from 35 years ago.

That sucks.

I just bought the new skiff (first 4" vehicle in many years) and now a new Slave I.

That Amazon EX was a repaint of the 2010 CW version. That $150-175 price for a ten year old repaint that's already been released in a vintage-style box priced at $70?

Oh you were referring to the price lol

Hopefully I was wrong and it will be closer to $130-$150 and not higher than $150 but still for that price it better come with something new.

I?m sure the paint and decals will be super nice though.

I'll get it - if they let me. I no longer take it for granted that they will.

I only have the POTF2 one which is woefully outdated.

Re: 3.75" Collecting Thread

Downsizing, a necessary evil.

My favorite 3.75 item remains my 2007 TrU exclusive gold squad YWing.

I love how dirty the 2007 version came out.

Yeah I know the bandai model kits are far superior especially with the cockpits but whatever I love me some big chunky hunk of Hasbro plastic taking up precious shelf space lol

I agree. I have the 2007 one as well and it's a nice factory paint job. I also have this vintage one that I customized last year. It was a 1983 stripped hull with just the canopy glass. I 3D printed all the missing parts and gave it a black "stealth bomber" paint job for fun:

Fun fact: Luke's T-16 Skyhopper was the original "Y-Wing" that was to appear at the Battle of Yavin. ILM even made a model of it. Then when Lucas ended up changing his mind on the design they gave the discarded model to Luke to play with so that it still ended up in the movie.

Thank the maker

Welp, looks like the Slave 1 is confirmed. 2 TVC figures, a Jedi Knight Luke and a Gonk Droid. And that’s all from the Toy Fair. Nothing from Mandalorian. Nothing from The Clone Wars. Hell, nothing from even TROS.

What a damn joke Hasbro is. The laziest, incompetent, pure dumb assery in the toy business is the Hasbro Star Wars department. I don’t understand how they have jobs whatsoever.

Should be a launching a TVC Mando line with 5 waves, 6 figures and a vehicle per wave. Should be re-launching a full scale TVC wave to celebrate ESB. But noooooo, they have to stick their heads up their ***** and do the bare damn minimum.

And to think, Disney signed back on with Hasbro for Star Wars! Why!

That Slave 1 repaint for $150 is hilarious.

Back in 2013, I got TVC amazon exclusive Slave 1 for $30 bucks when they kept putting them on clearance because it wouldn't sell at the $70 price point. I got the Slave 1 and Tie Interceptor for $30 each, so basically the price of just one Slave 1. Even at the time I thought $70 was ridiculous for it. Also keep in mind, this isn't just the second time it's been offered.

It was originally made in 2010,




I remember seeing at Toys R Us. It was the Slave 1, the starfighter and like 5 action figures for 100 bucks. It got discounted down to like $60 too.



And just to put things in perspective here, the ALL NEW 6" Black Series Snowspeeder with Dak is $119.











and the massive black series first order TIE was $150 before it was marked down to $60 and STILL wasn't moving because it was too big.









Yeah, yeah, yeah inflation. IDGAF. Hasbro is smoking some funny ****. Just look at an ALL NEW black series Snowspeeder with an ALL NEW 6" figure for $119 vs. a repainted vehicle from 2010 with just a clear plastic stand for $150. I don't get it.

Hasbro bunch o gangsters they probably have hookers making these toys lol

That Snowspeeder is a must-have. And is there a Luke Snowspeeder in 6"? Never seen one. I assume it will be released at the same time.

And yeah, wow for that massive price, the Slave I should have been all-new or mostly new.

 

[TheDucky]

Don't worry, you can buy the Slave 1 on clearance for $30 again. Just like the TIE Fighters now. Just like the soon to be Imperial Troop Transports.

My thought is Hasbro is killing it's own line on purpose with this over priced stuff trying to scam their once loyal fan base just to say "it didn't sell" and end it. Only logical thought unless they are legit monkeys running the SW line.

Still can't believe the same people made that Jabba Barge. Was that a dream? Whatever happened to fan funded stuff anyways.

Yup, Luke was just shown and looks amazing.

 

[a-dev]

Snowspeeder and Luke & Dack look amazing but, sorry, I aint touching another scale of Star Wars toy. I've put far too much time and money into 3.75.

I'm also reluctant to take a chance on waiting for clearance for the Slave One having missed this big version twice before it seems. The promo-shots look excellent.
