Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

I wish all these people would buy all the TFA and RO junk that's been sitting for two years. I'm sick of seeing it, feels like 2000 all over again.

Be pretty cool to pick some Hot Toys figures up for $20-30 down the road though to use for parts. There's a silver lining here.

SS gave $50 out to like EVERYONE, and still they have tons of TFA junk.

 

[karamazov80]

And the Force Awakens Troopers are all eligible for $30 off coupons that are constantly available, but are still there. In fairness, so is New Hope Chewy, but they re-released a buttload of those after they initially sold out.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Its hard to fault a reorder. But the TFA junk is still original order.

I don't think TFA is as popular as some here might think. Toys sales are one indication. Personally, I don't know anyone -- or their kids -- who thinks TFA was great. It's just another Star Wars movie to most. More will follow. As they have for decades. It's nothing earth-shattering anymore. The first one had a curiosity factor, PLUS the original cast, so it made a lot of money because few things bring people out like Star Wars. But the trick wears thin quickly now. It's been 40 years.

Well true- TFA was lightning in a bottle because of nostalgia factor. I liked it alot but know it's just a link in a long long chain.

Bet TLJ will be seen as a "failure" because it won't get anywhere near TFA. Maybe better than RO numbers but not much.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I hope TLJ is completely different -- new and refreshing. I think its time. I'm so done with nostalgia.

I missed every single one of those codes.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, it wasn't a code -- Sideshow just send cards out to everyone for $50 on ANYTHING.

I was not one of those people.

 

[xipotec]

I wonder if those sales figure account for all the HT, Sphero and other high end items?

I know the stuff I bought would account for a kids usually haul for there young lifetime.

I really really like TFA, its was a natural feel for the most part, the Rathtar scene should have been cut, but the rest is pretty good.

Of course it's a ANH rehash, but it's a good starting point for the new films.

RO was fantastic, so I have confidence in the new arc.

Just have to remain open minded.

11 years on this board. Countless figures bought from Sideshow. And they can't give me the $50 they gave everyone else.

And you ask why I'm cranky.
