Hasbro appreciation thread.

[Billy Ray]

Yeah, I'm still not 100% sold on the Saga Legends/Mission Series, but the sculpts on some of them are pretty darn good! In addition to that Stormtrooper, I am digging the Jango Fett..and Han and Chewie don't look half bad either...

 

[Matt S]

That chewie is about the worst thing I've ever laid my eyes on. Holy god, that is terrible looking

 

[Pixelpiper]

Yep, the Chewie looks about as good, with a similar silhouette to, Mr. Hankey from South Park. And that Stormtrooper looks pretty good, but way too skinny (or way too tall) and his shoulder armor is way too big.

For $6.00 figs for my son these will do just fine. The Rex figure above looks pretty good.

 

[Pixelpiper]

They seem to go up to $12 when they hit the shelves in Canada... I've got just about all of the POTF2 collection which are generally much worse in terms of anatomical realism than anything Hasbro does today.

Actually, now that I think about it, Stormtroopers and Sandtroopers do look like turtles.

i didn't want to say anything, but I agree. There are way better Chewie's out there from Hasbro. They've really taken a step back on this one.

It was a good run for Hasbro, but the 3 3/4" line is officially dead; at least, for me

 

[Sachiel]

You know there are two 3.75" lines?

Saga Legends/Mission Series - cheaper price, 5 points of articulation (seen above)
The Black Series - continuation of the main line (more articulated)

Glad I stopped collecting Hasbro back in 2000, it's all just gotten super confusing since then. Now I'm just going to finish up my original Kenner 3.75" collection which is very straight forward by comparison.

1/6 collecting is much more pick-and choose for me with absolutely no completist issues whatsoever - it's just too bad the prices are constantly climbing.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Since 1995 I collected Star Wars Toys from Hasbro, I sold all my sealed collection (more of 750 pieces), It was a good time but for me now is over.

 

[DCFett]

Anyone know where/who is getting that Arc-170 with ball turrets shown at SDCC? I remember one of the designers saying it was Amazon too, but haven't seen it on there.
Thx

I'm going to keep up with the black for as long as the articulation holds out, but after that, I'm done. Will be looking to get rid of a ton of old unopened prequel stuff in the next year as well.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I really got back into things around 2006. This year, I've purged my collection down to the absolute most wanted - & sold the rest.

Right now I have about 14 OT / PT vehicles combined, & my carded figures consist of only 2010-12 TVC & the McQuarrie series figures - with some misc items on top of those. I have two 'HT DX' sized boxes full of loose modern figures as well - paired those down too.

Everything is in storage.

Yeah, good luck with the unloading of items. I have kept about 10 comic long boxes of stuff, and do find it hard to part with what I have....not buying new ones, but some figures are awesome

Woah, crazy coincidence because I've pretty much done the exact same thing. I trimmed down most of my collection but kept some carded TVC and the McQuarrie line and about a dozen vehicles.

Anyone else see the retooled Red 3? Love that cockpit. I have 3 of the past large X-Wing releases but this one is tempting.

Haha -there you go mate.

..& another coincidence! That very X-wing is my next - & last vehicle purchase.. bar them doing a large Sandcrawler.

I got a brand new Barriss Offee 12" at SDCC for $20. I like her even though her head is a little big and the paint job is not spectacular, they did do a good job on her outfit and saves me from having to bash her. The light saber is ridiculous though, the hilt is about as round as a can of beer.
