>>11599946In less exciting news, prices have increased across Hasbro products by a significant amount. Even on inventory that's currently sitting on shelves now. Will this impact your decision to continue collecting Star Wars?
>>11599946Some of these are very baffling to me.
>>11599949Not much of a reason to keep collecting with prices like this. Army building goes out the window fast, and they're going to produce even less world building and background characters.
>>11599946Why are Anbore slop pegwarmers on this every single time? Also 7 of these, Pelli, Palpatine, Krell, C-3PO, Wrecker, Faggot, and Arleil are pretty much guaranteed to come out next year.
>>11599952Which ones?
>>11599966Nothing is guaranteed in this line anymore. That's why these fan polls have to happen to begin with.
>>11599946Why is the toy industry dying?
>>11599946>absolutely zero troopers/armybuildersYep, disappointed but fully expected that to be how it'd go.>>11599949Extremely unhappy with both hasbro and myself about the price hike on the snowtrooper 4-pack, with them for doing it and with myself for not buying a few more before it happened. It's not gonna make me quit collecting, but it's definitely gonna push me to wait for sales on things that aren't huge priorities for me, because there's no way I'd be able to afford armybuilding otherwise.
>>11600043That stinks. I think I'm pretty much done preordering anything at this point and will just wait for sales. Of course the shitty thing is that means sale prices are just going to be the old MSRP so it won't ever feel like much of a deal. Might make an exception for something like the rumored Cantina 4-pack but definitely won't be bothering with single carded releases or the army builder sets.
It's really funny that General Lando, Ewok Leia and Reva are still hanging around at Walmart and they're now expected to somehow sell at $27.99
>>11600075Pretty sure you can already buy all of those for less than half their retail online.
>>11599949Unironically this is the death knell of the line. Only so many whales, there's just not going to be enough attention to an already dwindling franchise.
>>11599949TBS sculpting has mostly caught up to and surpassed imports from 5-10 years ago and we are still paying below $35-$45 per figure. $28+ isn't too bad for me but I wont put up with reused sculpts from 2013, 2014, 2015 and etc. I've also reduced my army building from 7-9 figures to just 2 (because space and change of desires).
>>11599949I'm kind of one foot out the door already, though this doesn't help. I'm down for anything EU or ROTJ related in either scale, but that's about it. Only upcoming figure that I'm actually looking forward to is Kyle.
>>11599949Eh, I've gone literal years without collecting a single Black Series figure. I will admit, this year, they released some bangers with the SotE stuff, the ANH, reissuing missing Jedi from the PT, and giving us a new Ani and Obi, but other than the new Jango (the old one is so bad) and maybe the new BoBF, I think I may be done with collecting SW stuff outside a random Clone here and there, and even then, my PT shelf is so stuffed with Clones I just have to call it a day. I've limited myself to two Army Builders per unit now due to space anyway, so army building is out for me. I already have a nice 501st squad of Clones and a good number of Stormies so I'm good there. Still, sucks. I'd hate to be just getting into collecting right now.
>>11599949Black series prices don't bother me. Like >>11600199 said the sculpting on new figures is so good that I think they are worth it. $20 for 3.75” is wack though but there's not too much left that I still want now. I packed all my TVC into a box and don't really care about displaying them anymore. I am probably only going to display the haslab gunship so will likely only get figures that can interact with that. For black series I think I’m done too though there is an ESB Boba on the yak face rumor list which I’m curious about.
>>11599949Glad I got a Luke, $15 Vader, $10 Palps and a bunch of $4.99 OT Black Series figures from Ollie's when they dropped the price. I'd say that's a fair price for an IP that will slowly now fade away. Needless to say I don't think they will produce anything more that I need.
>>11599949Can you imagine someone paying $23 for a Sequel figure? Holy shit, it's suicide.
>>11599976Kleya, Pelli. I understand wanting them but not so desperately as to be in anybody's Top 10, much less an aggregate top 12. Luthen I get because he's a great character and Saw and Baze I understand for the sake of completion. C-3PO is the most obvious on that list. He's in mine too.I dunno man. There are so many major characters/costumes that could still use good versions or updates. I sympathize with not wanting a line that consists of nothing but main characters and troopers, but do I want Sim Aloo or Clone Trooper Ninja Turtle over a new Bespin Luke? No fucking way.
>>11600532I seriously don't know who is still buying ST stuff. Even 10 bucks is too much for most of that. If it's a cool alien design or something or a bounty hunter it might be worth better, but for the base characters...whew, why would people spend more than clearance prices?
I don't know who they based that new TVC Ben Kenobi on, but it sure as shit isn't Alec Guinness, Jesus.
>>11600624There's some ST stuff I want in TVC. A decent Kylo would be nice. TROS Emperor would also be nice. I don't expect any of it, though.
>>11600648I see a lot of Guinness in it, but it's not perfect. It reminds me of the TBS sculpt.
>>11599946>all this (((disney))) slop
>>11600720Disney fans are the only ones left still collecting and engaging with the brand
It's kind of insulting that we can't get a new Threepio sooner than ten years from now.
>>11599946Absolute fucking garbage. Just when you think 1/12fags can't get any more embarrassing 1/18niggers blow out of the fucking gate with all these ugly old hags. Not a single trooper. Barely any aliens. Not one good legends EU character. All this Disney slop and no frog lady. Fucking embarrassing.
>>11599942>Prime PadmeWouldn't that be Phantom Menace?
>>11599946Oof
>>11600020I'd buy Luthen. Saw Gerrera probably deserves a figure at this point but I don't want it.
>>11600849She was 14 then you sick fuck
