Nice!!! I like that!

I could do with a new Snowtrooper sculpt to add more variety to my Hoth dio.

Looking forward to seeing:

Darth Plageuis
Clone Trooper (41st Legion)
Commander Neyo
Mace Windu (The Clone Wars) – confirmed for release
Wedge Antilles (Snowspeeder Outfit)
Darth Vader (Episode III) – possibly (not definitely) could be "crispy Anakin"
Snowtrooper

Not much to see yet but some good news nonetheless.

Only interested in Toryn Far, Vizam and maybe the Jedi Training Luke from that list. If that stormtrooper actually turns out to be yet another sandtrooper then Hasbro are having a ****ing laugh.

Amazon has the [ame="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Action-Figure-Playset/dp/B00CM5D8QE"]Slave 1[/ame] and [ame="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CM5D86Y"]Tie Intercepter[/ame] for pre-order at $100/50 respectively.

I think these are way overpriced. I purchased the clone wars Slave 1 for $70 (retail was still only $99) and it came with two spaceships, a cargo container and five decent figures. I figured that Slave 1 would be $75 at most, and $60 being the sweet spot. For the price, the paint job should have been much better, and should have been hit with a dark grey wash and sport the blaster marks.

And here I was bemoaning spending so much time repainting my Clone Wars version.

 

[Pixelpiper]

$75? Umm, more like should be $39 for Slave 1. It doesn't come with any figures. At $100 it should come with at least the same stuff as the Clone Wars release you mentioned.

That's not a repaint of the Rise of Boba Fett Slave I is it? Just the same old POTF one they have been re-releasing every few years right? If so that's a total ripoff. You are paying $100 for the vintage style packaging which will likely arrive dented and scratched. For that kind of money you are better off buying the REAL Kenner vintage Slave I MIB.

 

[Billy Ray]

It is a repaint of the Rise of Boba Fett Slave I.

$100! We could almost buy our own ship for that!

It is, with some modifications.

The Rise of Boba Fett Slave I and "new" Slave I ships are larger than the POTF and all earlier versions. The Amazon version is the largest ESB version of Slave I made available by Hasbro/Kenner. Still not worth $100, even with the vintage packaging.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Gotta get this one as i missed Jango's version. Wish they had added a figure at that pricepoint though.

 

[sithlord13]

Try living in the uk. I'm guessing that if we get it we will be looking at £100 (about $150)

Sucky.

Just making sure I didn't mistake what you're saying. This release will be the same size as the Rise Jango version but in OT Fett colors, right?

 

[a-dev]

This went under my radar. I didn't know a ''BMF'' Slave I existed. I'd like to get one but now aint the time.

 

[Darth Waller]

The only BMF about this is the price.

Correct.

 

[Shropt]

So I hear that Hasbro is showing absolutely nothing new from the 3 3/4 inch line at SDCC?

 

[Tee-Kay]

From the first pics it does look like we won't seen anything for the 4" line that hasn't already been revealed/displayed.

 

[Pixelpiper]

But they're showing boatloads of Angry Birds stuff - UGH. Worst. Game. Ever.

 

[kl241]

Worst cross-merchandising promotion ever.

 

[Sachiel]

That's a damn good Stormtrooper sculpt (from the Saga Legends/Mission Series line).
