Star Wars Black Series discussion

Pablo Hidalgo specified that the guy in the flashback was a Human

A lot of people are saying it's a flachback of the Knights of Ren killing Luke's Jedi Order.

Any new pickups folks? Pretty empty over her in Vancouver. Not many restocks before or after Xmas.

Hoping for some, but the shelves were quite literally empty, except for the local tru, but mostly filled with tfa Lego sets

[turtle power eh]

Seems like the pegs are pretty much empty out my way too. I'm not expecting to see any major re-stocking until January. Unrelated but it seems like several Walmarts are loading up with the Marvel Legends Hulkbuster wave now though.


UPDATE:

So I was just on eBay and saw that the newest wave of 6" figures are getting crazy bids:

EP VII Han- 28 bids currently $250 USD
FO Finn- 16 bids currently $154.50 USD
Jango Fett- 17 bids currently $142.50 USD

Who the hell is willing to spend that ammount of cash? Has to be fake.

Anyone seen Hux wave yet?

Honestly the only 6" figures I have seen in the past couple weeks has been Finn, and few random Poe and the Enforcer.

I'm getting quite fed up with the poor distrobution.

US has had Hux wave 4 for a bit. We've already seen wave 5 so I'm hoping wave 4 didn't skip Canada.

Here's an interesting article about the repacks. Sight differences apparently.

^ Yeah, I read that article on the fwoosh too!

That redone Rey almost makes me want to grab another one of her for those improvements. I sold the figure I had (the first run of her) because it was such a blah looking figure...

[MULTIPLEX]

I don't necessarily believe the BB-8 is improved. I have two of them that I bought during force Friday and they have excellent washes on the body. But mind you, I have to sift through many to get two I was happy with. Same with Kylo's silver paint on his mask. Some I saw literally had almost paint apps. But this new version has a new cape which looks cool. Bit the saber is still inferior to the Kmart version.

Rey, another figure I had to sift through many to find two I liked. Her paint looks pretty good on mine.

The resistance trooper is interesting. I have one I got from Walmart when they first were released (in US too) and I apparently have the updated one with the darker helmet. I don't think we ever got the green one?

What they need to do is update Pilot Poe. He looks like a damn drunken cross-eyed monkey. I had to swap a Riot Control 2-pack Poe head for the monkey head to make it look normal.

[Wintermute]

Yeah I got the Resistance Trooper and his helmet is dark brown too.

I wonder if that will drive the price up of the rarer green helmeted trooper. The return of the Star Wars Chase Figure?!

And I lucked out that the Poe I got has decent eyes, but the head sculpt and paint on the Poe from the two pack is much better.
