| For real. @Artoo_DetourHave you seen the upcoming GameStop exclusive for Battlefront 2? I'm still debating the previous exclusive for the 40th, in R5. I've physically picked it up and put it down twice.. |

| I am not big into the black series but this rex looks great. I have to look up the character as I don't remember exactly who he is. |

| Matt, really cool figure, packaging and plenty of weaponary. Sits nice next to your recent Commander Gree. Great addition Have you seen the General Thrawn and its packaging that opens up as a diorama Too cool! And also the newest release of Luke FB but... but... with a 6" scale Landspeeder included |

| Thanks guys! He comes close to taking my top favorite spot. @trappedtexan He's an awesome character. One of the clones that actually didn't follow Order 66 and has appeared in Rebels, which is about to end it's run this season. @Artoo_Detour Yes I did! I'm going to NYCC in two weeks and Thrawn is on my list. I went toy hunting before work and found one, but it's not the same since he's by himself. Really glad Luke got a re release. It's awesome! |

| That Kenobi looks amazing. You say the cape is frail? So it is easily broken or torn? Seems in this day and age they would make things more pliable, but I guess they don't expect kids to play with these and target them towards adults.
I saw yesterday the Walmart near me had a black series luke and land speeder combo for $45 and a rey and speeder bike thing combo for the same price. It said that $45 was clearanced so not sure how much they were originally. That still seemed a very high price for the item to me, but I don't collect the line. Also had some kind of statue like thing from the black series of vader. He didn't look poseable but it had a light up feature. |

| Really easily torn like tissue paper.
The Walgreens I went to had 6 of them, I looked through each one and 4/6 had big time issues.
The landspeeder and Rey's speeder retailed for $60 when they came out on force friday II so $45 isn't too bad!
The Vader is a "centerpiece" looks pretty cool. They also have Luke XWP on Hoth. |

| @darthmatt22 - Clone Commander Cody looks great Shame the Force spirit Ben's cloak is so flimsy. Why on earth make it so fragile when they know collectors go for both MIB and loose examples?!? |

@ArtooDetour - Thanks! Thought I'd try my first attempts at "figure photography." Not sure why, but he's definitely never coming out for me. And if other collectors do take him out, I bet they'll never move him. |

| That's an awesome display, Cal! I see you with that SDCC Boba Fett! Minor side note, I visited GameStop a few days ago and noticed they stocked up on Inferno Squad agents, and R2D2 and Han on 40th cardbacks, in case either of you are looking. |

| Cal, that's a superb display of Black Series figures Like a disco fairground spacestation! Matt - Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to just stick with the boxed 6 inch atm. Maybe I'll grab one moc to keep just to say I have one, but I really enjoy taking them out of the box and playing noisily with them posing them for forum and blog pics |

| Oh yeah. That's the reason I didn't grab them on the spot, because they were cardbacks. If I do get them, they're coming off! |

| I've missed the replies to this, for some reason. Matt, to be honest that a bootleg Han in carbonite. As crazy as I am, im not $500 for that set crazy.But that is the SDCC Land Speeder I have the 40th Anniversary figures on the wall on the other side of the room. It was the 40th figures that brought me into buying vintage figures. I'm going to update this picture. The ranks have grown... a lot |

| Great! Can't wait to see them.
I have actually been downsizing my (already small and focused) collection. I sold 5 6" figures so far including the Celebration Exclusive LXWP and I sold off my 3.75" Plagueis and Malgus.
I really, really want to grab a Han and R2-D2 from my local GameStop, as well as a Stormtrooper.
The problem with Han and R2 are that they are on the 40th cards and I don't collect those.
Haven't bought any new figures since the Inferno Squad Agent, though. |

| They also happen to be reissues as well. The good news is that they brought the secondary market prices down on both if you'd rather pick then up boxed |
