star wars "saga"

[Ran]

Found the haslab website. They already have 1036 orders. Did they announce new figures to go with it? The video on the website had Yakface in the mock-up.

[jjreason]

They are back to the vintage packaging for this year. I heard there was going to be a new yak face. The barge comes with a 3.75" scale Jabba as well as a Hammerhead skeleton accessory that's something like a figure I guess. I wanted to see how the deck guns would work - whether they were just like the ones deluxe Leia came with all those years ago or something new. I will check the pics again.

[anarky]

Yeah, no way am I getting this. I like seeing my kids too much. And the final cost will way exceed $500 once the attorney's fees are factored in.

I said I would never get the exclusive shuttle - got the shuttle. I said I would never get the BMF or BATAT - but deals appeared that were too good to be true (and I've since sold these due to lack of space).

I've learned my lesson. I will never get the sail barge. I am, however, totally thrilled they made even one to show on display. Awesome.

Fo sho.

They opened orders to Canada so you are off the hook. I'm not sure they're going to pre-sell enough of these by the deadline but we'll see.

I was kind of bored this weekend and decided to look at my SW figures. I have 3 R2s that have the lights/sounds. The battery still works in 2 of the 3. The Dagobah R2 is the one with the dead battery, which seems strange because it might be the newest of the 3 figures.

I want a fucking Weazel NOW.

In fact, I want three fucking Weazels in both scales.

No way to say it without a minor Solo spoiler, but that little bastard instantly became one of the most interesting SW characters of all this weekend.

[Diabolical]

Who the fuck was Weazel?

Is that the same guy that was in Episode 1? I thought I saw his name on the IMDB page for Solo.

[anarky]

Who the fuck was Weazel?

Warwick Davis. He apparently had a slave (or at least was responsible for one) in Mos Espa, and hung around with Watto. Thirty years later, he was part of Enfys Nest's insurgency. The credits confirm it's the same guy.

I want to know what happened in between.

[jjreason]

There is no basic 5POA Han Solo figure available for kids in any of the Solo basic figure waves. Why?

[Diabolical]

Oh?

[anarky]

That's the one that comes with the $30 Neo-CommTech, right?

[jjreason]

As far as I know there is only Commtech & Falcon Hans. No $5 basic figure available.

EDITED: There will be 2 pack Han with Chewie & Han with the Speeder. He is readily available, just not as a basic figure in the cheaper line.

Ok so I'm trying to get 6" figures from ESB and I'm worried about Piett & Veers. I think Piett is convention only but Veers might be Walgreens and it's often up in the air as to whether or not anyone will pick up such exclusives for Canadian distribution until they actually show up here.... or do not. Have you guys seen either of them yet in a retail situation?
