It should definitely be OT heavy, but I would kill (or pay $20 to $25) for 6" versions of Darth Revan, Mara Jade, and McQuarrie Fett.

Hmmm...I didn't even think of expanded universe and concept stuff. Shit...ok...yeah, throw that in too. I'd take a McQuarrie Fett as well.

I watched the last of all but maul walk out of my store today, hopefully I can grab him before anyone else does. The guy who bought the others said he wouldn't blame me if I hid it, called it an employee benefit

I saw them today and they do look pretty cool but I still can't do it. Just getting the core characters that I would want would run in the $400+ range.

I found the remnants of a case at Target last night. They had Luke and R2. I can't justify spending $20 on that tiny R2, but I did get Luke. He's a really cool figure.

^That price is completely unfair. But you'll be dying to pay $20 when it's going for $60 & up on ebay. Welcome to Hasbro.

Then I guess I'll have an R2-D2 sized hole in my collection.
Or make a custom out of a Dixie cup and some Q-tips.

Oooh, sounds difficult. You're taking on quite the challenge. I look forward to buying it on Ebay for $742.

As much as I hate Hasbro sometimes, I gotta hand it to them...these figures are full of awesome! I found a set at Target and was sorely tempted to buy all four of them.
It was almost like being a little kid again. I found myself getting more excited for these than I have in a long time of toy buying.
I came to my senses and wound up only getting Maul. That's not because the other figures are poor, but I would rather have Bespin Luke than X-Wing Luke, R2 is waaaay overpriced for what you get, and even though the Sandtrooper was tits, I'd rather have a regular Stormtrooper.

There was just 1 at Target tonight, Luke, and we had it in the cart for about 10 minutes before taking it out. I knew she'd want to keep it in the box and I wanted to open it. LOL Plus, I find the idea of collecting more Star Wars anything to be icky. I'm sure I'll end up with a few at some point, depending on who they put out, and the Luke looked fantastic, but today wasn't the day it started.

Saw these in person at multiple stores and are an easy pass. Every Sandtrooper had really bad paint apps, some of the Lukes and Mauls had derp eyes really bad. The ones that didn't have that had bowed lightsabers.. Ugh, glad I don't order stuff online and got them this way. I'd be furious.

Huh. You must've caught a bad batch because the paint apps on mine look great. The eyes on Luke and Maul look perfect. The lightsabers can bow a little bit, but nothing a bit of warm water didn't fix.

I'm hearing its a complaint from the whole area. I hunted for a good looking Maul at 4 WalMarts and Target and a few other shops and nothing

That sucks. The Luke I saw was very well painted.

Glad you guys are finding good apps and all Guy that owns the local independent shop is sending his lot back and as with Pred/Alien Neca stuff, is giving me first crack at a Maul when they come back. Same with Boba Fett

You sure you didn't find a set of "Space Hombres - Series de Negro" at a Tijuana flea market?

Darth Pendejo is the shit. Comes with a little chain steering wheel accessory for his lowrider TIE fighter.

Those launched the same time as the 6" line. It was originally gonna be called Droid Factory, and the figures were gonna come with BAF droid pieces, but they kept the figures the same and changed the name to Black Series and tossed the droid pieces. Quality-wise the figures are the same as the Vintage Collection (ie, very good).

Good price with free shipping if I add something. The slave Leia looks terrible. The face is awful.

The production head on that Black Series Mara Jade is fucked. What is going on with her eyebrows and hair? Another site I go to posted a simple head swap fix using the Avengers Black Widow's head... I guess there is not any modifications needed just pop one head off and stick it on the other.
