Twisted Two-Face Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've never once seen Boba in-store, so i'm totally glad i paid a premium to get the SDCC one when it came out. Especially since the Wave 2 one goes for so much, not getting Carbonite Han with him would feel like a rip. He's a fantastic figure, though. I'm surprised we're getting a black-pauldron Stormtrooper before a Return of the Jedi Boba. It does depend on your scale preference, but Boba's much harder to find and a great figure.

Zak Katz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 There are some on eBay, I'm cool with paying anything under forty, the lack of Han in Carbonite isn't a deal breaker for me. TTF do you think there will be an episode VI Fett? And thanks for the feed back HP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Just bid on one, I'm the only bidder so far and there's 40 minutes left. My hearts pounding, and I have no confidence about winning haha, I got beaten out on an A.I.M. mate the other day by a cent. wish me luck!

Twisted Two-Face Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 A general rule of thumb i always use is to make your bid the highest you're willing to go. Other people will try to bid anyway, it prevents snipers from getting in at the last second, and if it goes higher then you didn't want to spend that much anyway. I think ROTJ Boba is 95% a lock at this point; they said the line has no end in sight. Maybe in a few waves he'll be the 4th-slot refresher, with red ROTJ gauntlets. Personally i don't like the red so i didn't bother waiting for one, but i was surprised it wasn't the Wave 2 figure or Wave 4 repaint.

hellpop Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I usually use the same eBay logic. Wave 2 is still in stock from BBTS for $80. A lot, but you'll get Boba for basically $20. Han Solo and Greedo are both great figures. Leia's not, but... look at it this way: if you're willing to pay $40 for Boba, she's basically a freebie.

Zak Katz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Weird... I went uncontested, $28.99 w/ $7.49 shipping. Super excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Not bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 That's a good price. I did buy the figure at target. It's the best of the line so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Congrats! I wanted Leia & Boba (though, I wanted the SDCC one) only. Pics made me want Han. Nothing can make me want Greedo. Though, now I want X-Wing Luke (but don't wanna pay $20 for him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Went shopping today, there was a sale on SW at TRU a few weeks ago and I missed my chance at Maul! Someone bought everything up but Leia. Found wave 18 though so that softens the blow. I went to Target and found a Han, he's pretty awesome, makes me excited for Boba.

hellpop Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I really like Luke. I would bet that you'll be able to find him reduced at BBTS before too long, if not already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 There's a cheaper Boba on eBay ending soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Han is one of my fav 6" figures of all time. Only Bespin Han could surpass him; he's just fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijames Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Jabba at $40 is tempting. Thankfully Slave Leia is cheap, though I expect that to change when Jabba is released. Edited February 19, 2014 by minijames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Wave three looks pretty amazing. Vader's my favorite but I want Luke and Chewie too. Thoughts on Luke's swappable shirt? I heard he comes with a robe too. I hope Chewie has something on his back that will eventually hold C3PO, although I believe this is the episode IV version.

stack32 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I wasn't crazy about Vader based on the pics I saw. The figure is okay, but the soft goods look awful. The cape in particular makes it look like he's wearing a blanket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah, I see what your talking about. It's not that big of a deal to me. There may be four maybe five any way... III,IV,V,VI, and Dagobah Vader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm just really disappointed that Obi-Wan doesn't look better. I hate the boxy "V" of his torso. Maul looks amazing in his tunic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was thinking he should at least have a robe or something :/ I don't know if I'm going to grab an Obi. The only figures I want from the prequels are Jango, Mace, and maybe Dooku...Grievous? and Yoda. We'll see how it goes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Ewan McGregor is my favorite part of the prequels, especially in EpIII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Mine too. He's great. I will buy any Jedi, probably, but some of the other prequel characters are iffy. I've no desire for an Amidala, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Characters I want Episode I: Sebulba, the baby Greedo looking alien who's friends with Anakin (not really, but maybe hehe), Darth Sidious, Jar Jar Binks... Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Episode II: Jango Fett, maybe Amidala with the back scratches, Darth Tyranus, Yoda, Plo Koon Episode III: Vader with fresh burnt face, General Greivous, I think maybe this Obi, I prefer young to old and I do agree Ewan was enjoyable though out the prequels. This Ani, Mace Windu Episode IV: Leia, C3-PO, Chewie, ok maybe old Ben, Storm Trooper Episode V: Lando, Bossk, disassembled C3-PO and Chewie, hoth Luke and Han with tauntauns, Snow Troopers, the monster who wants to eat Luke ha Episode VI: The Vader that's coming out, Luke that's coming out, Leia in disquise, Jaba's guards... I haven't seen any of the prequels since I saw them in theaters, and the only time I ever watched the originals was on VHS so I can't really remember everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijames Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I think a Stormtrooper disguise Luke/Han with alternate heads would sell like hot cakes. My top 10: A New Hope Leia (con exclusive hologram version would be rad) Emperor Palpatine C 3P0 Hoth Leia Hoth Han Hoth Luke Dagobah Luke Yoda Jabba's Dancers (all of them haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah Palpatine when he kills Mace is cool, sorry for the spoiler but Sand People, and then young and old Yoda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Bespin Han Boushh Leia Lando Grand Moff Tarkin Count Dooku The Emperor (Original and Prequel red robes) Qui-Gon Kit Fisto Bossk Yavin Ceremony Luke Old Ben Bolded priority, but I sadly don't see Tarkin being a major possibility for the line, so...Anyway, everything else is icing for me. If they ever go expanded universe, i'd love Admiral Thrawn, Clone Armor Obi-wan, and Asajj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
