Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

I got Ben, Han, Luke, Leia and R2 from BBTS yesterday. Wonderful figures! Especially Leia and Ben. I also asked a buddy of mine who works for Best Buy to keep an eye out for Vader. He got one and bought it for me. With his employee discount it came to a little over $30. I'll be picking it up today from him. I'll post some pics later after I have all of them together.

The new Leia sculpt I'm very happy with. Looks much nicer than the one which came out last year.

I didn't notice in-hand but it's funny that they used a reversed image on the cardback. His chest box is backwards.

It's a great piece of classic Kenner art. I hope someone scans this new Vader card and posts - it's great to see the old Kenner art at higher resolution than was possible back in the day.

I like it but isn't it a little too late, this should've released a year ago

Man they're dumb. Perfect opportunity to get a classic 6" Landspeeder out there in vintage packaging all while an Obi-Wan, Luke, R2, an C-3PO are available for purchase for the 40th anniversary . . . and they do Rey and her speeder? My stores are filled with Force Awakens crap that isn't selling, including multiple Reys. This should have been available last year, you know, for the Holidays and post-Force Awakens hype? Just a stupid decision.

Damn, a BS Landspeeder... I would buy that in a second!

I think the Speeder Bike might have been a mixed message on the demand for ot vehicles. I can only go by my experience but those things were everywhere on clearance along with Jabba. Stores around here didn't even carry the wampa/tonton set. Then again, there ate still TFA tie fighters stinking up my TRU.

Don't be shy at your Gamestop.They went in the back and pulled out their whole cardboard display for me. Perfect exclusive for those guys.

Got my Vader today!!! and put the rest of the legacy kit on ebay.

Did Hasbro redo the R2 sculpt (like they did with leia and Vader) to make the body bigger, or is everything including the R5D4 and vintage-carded R2 still based on the original too-small R2?

 

[Matt S]

Preordered them all from BBTS and the R5 from Gamestop! They look awesome - such a sucker for the vintage cardbacks

 

[DiFabio]

I hope that exclusive sticker can be pulled off.

I found a Vader set at my local Best Buy today. No sign of the other figures tho.

 

[Sirtank]

I didn't have much trouble removing the Gamestop sticker from my R5D4.

 

[YoNoSe]

Oh boy...

Okay, that will be mine.

Damn you Hasbro, I thought I kicked the black series for good, then you have to come along with this 40th anniversary line!!!

For those of you buying the 40th anniversary set for the card art what are these offerings giving you that the 3.75 inch Vintage Collection or Jumbo Gentle Giant collection didn't? On the one hand I always love vintage throwbacks but I'm a little put off that they aren't in a vintage scale (3.75 or 12 inch) and that the card art is so cropped.

Got my Vader yesterday and he is amazing in hand. Now I wait for the next wave. I put Krennic in it because he fills the lack of a Tarkin and well I love Rogue One. Vader's helmet is a little misaligned but I'll fix that when I have more time. Still a great display!

Leia is stunning also in hand. Great face sculpt!

Wow, that's a great Leia likeness at that scale and awesome pose for Han!
