My Han and Luke were a trade if I can remember correctly - they came all the way from Australia. I should see if I might still have any kind of email record of the trade. Back then I wasn't buying anything from eBay, almost everything was retail and then trades, because stuff would appear in some markets and not others.
 
I have a Hasbro Darth Vader lightsaber with removeble blade.
But i've noticed some small cracks on the tip of the saber they are inside the tip you dont feel them outside has someone the same expirience ?
 
^^ Nice. lol. The only hasbro figs they made accurate for height differences in Stormtrooper gear was the trash compactor 2 packs. Great detail but not very articulated.

Hasbro's 3 3/4" line has slowed down considerably. With new releases being more or less repacks of older sculpts. Are our dreams over of seeing those characters missing from Jabba's Palace and Cantina in 3 3/4" scale? I do hope Hasbro returns to the Vintage line.

Yeah, i'm tired of see The Phantom Menace figures still warming the pegs. Who's brilliant idea was it to release new figures of figures that don't sell?:cuckoo: Does Hasbro really not understand the market for these figures?

I have a feeling that order came from Lucas to coincide with the film re-release (which itself was a bad idea).
 
Hopefully before the spark burns out and we're hit with a deluge of EP7 jar jar binks/cloverfield type characters, they'll have mercy and make some of those like the sisters with some online retailer!

I honestly think they expected the EPI 3D re-release to be bigger than it was, and its underwhelming response is what led Lucas to finally sell to Disney. I got away from 3 3/4" over 5 years ago, and was surprised to see that there hasn't been much released in that time that I would've purchased. They've released just about everything they could've with the exception of the remaining cantina/jabba's palace creatures, and those don't seem to sell well.

Hasbro is just going to tread water until 2015 and then the barrage of Ep VII stuff will begin.
 
I wish Hasbro would release more vehicles to go with the figures. I would love a Jabba sail barge and a skiff that is scaled for the figures. A re release of the tie fighter, imperial shuttle, X-wing would be great.
 
What's the deal with the Tonnika sisters? Do they want too much money or does Lucas not own the rights to their likenesses?
 
I read it was because Lucasfilms never got permission to use their likeness or something. I used to have a little tiny Tonnika sister that came with the Galoob Bantha, but I think that's the only toy they ever made of one of them.
