Hasbro appreciation thread.

I'm going to check out Walmart tomorrow, out of the new stuff, I want Luke, Wicket and the Gammy, they all look great.

Great photos! I agree--they really knocked it out of the park with both the Gamorrean Guard and Wicket. I haven't picked up the rest yet, but might sometime down the road.

I got my Gamorrean Guards yesterday. They're just exceptional figures. Unlike most figures these days, I feel like they're worth the price. I don't really think they're going to need to redo this character unless there's a quantum leap in toy technology somewhere down the line.

I ordered R2 and Wooof from Hasbrotoyshop, so I should be getting them pretty soon. Really looking forward to them now that I've seen the Gamorrean.

I still can't find the Gamorrean Guard or Wicket.

based upon the lucas's alternate version where it was wicket that actually killed jabba.............

i couldnt help myself when i bought this set.......i want to duplicate my ssc version (smaller scale anyway.......).............anyone know the best bib fortuna to use??

[Sachiel]

A new Bib may be coming next year.

I want these 2 as well. Recent improvement did rekindle my interest in the small figures.

Sweet, just got my Gammy's today as well at the local Wally World. I can't wait for the Darth Nihl Comic pack to come out as well. Almost have all the Legacy Sith Lords out now.

I think you're going to want the Saga Bib Fortuna (which is the last one below). The facial expression is a little off-putting, but it looks a lot better in person (and is kind of a tribute to the vintage figure now that I look at them together). When I actually got mine in hand I didn't mind the expression at all. The rest of the figure is really nice, although articulation is quite limited.

The only other choices are the vintage figure and the Power of the Force/Original Trilogy Collection figures (same figure, slightly different paint), but neither of these is a very good fit for the new Jabba setup.

Still no ROTJ in my area--- but I'm on the lookout. Definitely some great additions to any collection.

Found DSII Luke and Wicket on Friday. Luke is very nice and finally the DSII style Luke I've wanted them to make, but of the two, Wicket's the cooler acquisition for me. He's so well made, I just find it very cool to have him, it's like a perfect depiction of Wicket, the face looks great. Hasbro collecting has become a very small part of my life now, only getting an occassional figure here and there, and Wicket is the first Hasbro figure in a long time to deliver such excitement and satisfaction with picking it up.

It is a really good wave of figures. The latest CW wave (Quinlan Vos, Shaak Ti, Embo, Young Boba, etc) is also really good. Hasbro Team's on a roll lately...

It seems like they're realizing that figures to a quality that satisfies collectors are as marketable to kids as ones with gimmicks and all that like they were trying for a long time.

 

[Sniper33]

Only recent SW purchase that I have made was the new CW Boba Fett w/armor. Looks pretty neat, but have yet to open it. Kinda wish TRU had another in stock so I could of gotten 2 for $12.

 

[Vitus]

free shipping no minimum at HTS!

 

[SwedishHeat]

Is the Wal-Mart Jabba set still around?? I can't find any anywhere, the 2 nearest to me don't even have shelf tags for it.

 

[icruise]

Should be. But some stores have way too many and some have none.
