Star Wars Black Series 6 inch figures are out too. The TRU in Whitby had 2 each of Wave#1 in stock tonight.
I was able to pick up my all-time favourite Darth Maul and he is awesome. They go for $24.99 each which is ok by TRU standards. Eagerly aniticipating Wave #2 because it has Boba and Slave Leia.

Did we beat the USA on the black?

Re: Star Wars Black Series 3.75" Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Just wanted to say that I stopped in Brockville today to fuel up and decided to check the nearby Wal Mart (on Parkedale). They had both the Black Series and Saga Legends lines in full!

Black Series were $10.87 while Saga Legends were $6.87. They even had the Vintage line on sale (with some good figures) for $7.83.

Happy hunting,

Seen the 6" line in Orleans (Ottawa) yesterday. They are cool, but $23 is too much to pay for one of these figures.

here's a couple of pics from TRU

please see attached

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

I thought we might see some of these on the drvie home(or the drive to for that matter) from TFcon, but no luck.

I will keep watching.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

I feel your pain too, dude. Nothing here in Edmonton, AB yet. Been checking everyday for the last 5 days too (I'm a short 5 minute walk from TRU and Wal-mart thankfully).

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

6" Black Series are $22.92 @ my local Walmart
3 3/4 Black $10.87
2 pack Mission series $10.87
Singles Saga $6.87

Mississauga Heartland Walmart :)

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Which WalMart has them? I went to the Richmond Hill one 2 days ago and they got nothing...

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

My wife bought me the 6 inch Maul & Sandtrooper today as a belated anniversary gift.

Very nice looking figures, but they would look nicer with a better price point :p

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Anybody notice the no articulation on the 2 packs.....?

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

2 packs have vintage 5 point articulation. Not great.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

I saw there SW figures too. The ones with articulation like the original figures, like the first ones ever made. The molds are nice, the accessories are okay too, but the articulation, sad.
Atleast they sell the articulated versions on those small black cards. But why did they switch card back sizes? Why not stay standard? Are those smaller cards a cost cutting thing? If I were a completist SW guy, I think I would find this a little annoying.
On another note, those 6" figures sound pretty cool, can't wait to see them in person.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Yes, the new $6.86 Saga Legends have the 5 points of articulation - the same as has been done with the some of the superhero toylines.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Keep missing the 6inch line. Too slow.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

I grabbed 6 inch Luke, R2 and Sandy today and I feel blessed as they were the last ones on the peg.. very impressed with quality so far. Will keep an eye out for Maul, in the spirit of completion, even though I'm not a big prequel guy.

As for the shitty 5POA Saga Legends (what a joke, squandering the name of an otherwise great line on vintage articulation garbage), it occurred to me that I might not mind droid figs with poor articulation, but only if they turned up at Winners for like $3 lol

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

I currently have Darth Maul, Sandtrooper and Luke. I'm extremely impressed with all 3 figures. The sculpts, paint, articulation and amazing accessories go a long way to justifying the steeper price.


Mind you, Mattel is charging even more for their subscription lines, and they are severely lacking in the sculpt, paint and accessory department.


One minor issue with the Sandtrooper though. His right knee cap was assembled upside down, so he has a slight bum knee. Ahh well, I guess the cloning process ain't perfect, lol.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Do you think it is just yours or a fault of the entire run? I ask because I don't really see a problem with the one I have.

But then I'm not completely sure what I'm looking for either?

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

After looking at other people's pics of their Sandtrooper, mine is the only one I've seen with the upside down knee cap, so I don't think there's an issue with the run as a whole.

Basically, what you'd be looking for is easy enough to see; the black knee joint that connects the thigh to the shin on the figure was put in upside down by the manufacturer and will thus stick out a liiiittle bit when he's being posed on his feet. Hope that clarifies it a wee bit!

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Are you able to pop it out and fix it? You can try emailing Hasbro about it. I have done it in the past with star wars figures and they've sent me replacements! You might have to provide picture proof, but I didn't have to. They do have pretty decent CS.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

I think that popping it out may do more harm than good. The issue is only a minor aesthetic one and doesn't really affect the figure as a whole. Well, I suppose it does also slightly inhibit the poseability of the right leg as the knee can't bend as much as the other.


I may look into contacting them though! Did you have to send the old figure back to get the new one sent to you?

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

You probably implicitly answered that question already when you said they didn't need you to provide picture proof; if they didn't need photo evidence, I'm guessing they wouldn't need the actual figure either.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Nope never had to send the figures back. I had a Plo Koon whose arm kept falling off and the other figure was a WW2 Captain America that didn't come with a shield. With both figures the store I bought them from was out of stock and I told that to Hasbro, otherwise I would have just gone for an exchange.

Grabbed a minty case from Walmart :)

No wonder they are expensive they ship: Air Freight ;)

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Has anyone come across the 3.75 black series where the packaging is falling apart? I saw some at walmart this morning and the bubble was basically falling off the cardback, I wonder if they will recall them and fix the problem or just let it go and fix it with later waves

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

tfHunter:


After summoning some courage, I took my Sandtrooper down to my tea kettle and using steam, got the knee joint off, placed it back correctly, and after some fiddling and poking, got it back on securely. My Sandtrooper no longer has a gimp knee! The power of heat!


Yo! Science, b*tch!

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

All of 4 figures from Wave#1, the 6 inch Black Series are currently available on TRU.CA for anyone whom has yet to get any and wants them or if anyone wants to troop build.

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Nice! Nothing worse than having a messed up figure. The Hasbro plastic seems sturdier and more consistent I find than other companies (yeah, that means you Mattel).

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Out of stock already :crying:

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

Whitter, it may be related to humidity in the stores. It's been pretty hot around here for some time now and if they aren't keeping the entire store cool enough sometimes it could be that those things happen.

Either that or Hasbro really lost touch on how to package their toys securely with glue and stuff. I bought a Biggs at Wal-Mart on Friday and I didn't even notice it was peeling off until after checkout. I also noticed someone had taped a Biker Scout back onto the card, as if it were a return, though I can't be sure of that. The toy was not secure in the bubble tray and it looked like someone had tried to make off with it or something.

My question is this, has anybody even seen these things at Retail? All I've come across is a lone R2 at TRU, I want to grab Maul and a Sandtrooper, but not online. I was hoping these things would fill shelves quite nicely and yet most local retailers seem to be having a really hard time stocking them. It can't all be from fan purchases, are there scalpers going mad over these things or what?

Re: Star Wars Black Series Wave 1 & Class II Vehicles Wave 2 Released in Canada
 

I've seen the 6 inch line at multiple different Walmarts and TRU in Winnipeg. Just keep your eyes open and you will run into them.
