LOL.

Man, I can't believe its taking this long to see Jango. That must be so low on their priority list that they just don't care. And I hate to say this but their SW PFs just don't sell as well as their comic license PFs. Looking at how low Cody's ES is there clearly isn't that much demand for a minor SW character, and since they've done most of the main characters already (at least from the OT, we know they just don't care that much about the PT, I still want my Qui-Gon PF dammit lol) I guess they are just putting almost all priority into comic stuff instead of SW PFs. Thats why it would be a perfect time for XM to get a world wide distribution license for SW .

As far as Boba goes I'd just stick with the first one. The ROTJ outfit is the better of the two anyways .

I have a feeling the Maul will be from Rebels but by the time he's up for order they will probably have another TV show out altogether LOL.

Dude! That's too funny! But sadly true at the same time. Some are speculating that Maul may very well be the creator of the Knights of Ren. And, supposedly, the KOR might be in EPVIII.

Yeah, TBH, the outfits from ESB and ROTJ aren't much different. While I like the new post, it still isn't enough to fully lure me into buying it. Vader on the other hand, I just have to have it.

I keep harassing XM on FB about SW, LOL! No news though. Yeah, I'm not sure what level of involvement Disney/ LFL has really when it comes to SS. You'd think Qui-Gon, Mace, Ki-Adi, Kit, Plo, Ahsoka, hell even the Inquisitor would be on their radar of PF's to make. Not to mention all the new TFA stuff.

I'm glad you keep harassing them. Somebody's gotta do it, because this lack of news is ridiculous.

Dude, if Maul would create the KOR that would be so freaking awesome! Especially if that story gets brought into Ep VIII.

I'm bummed we still haven't heard any confirmation news on the TFA blu release date yet. I was sure they were going to say something really shortly after the date leaked.

I still hope that the April date Amazon and other sites posted is true. Someone said that a UK store had the release set for about the same time. I do wonder though if that means the Digital Download will be available even before that?

That was one fan theory there. Another was that Ezra created the KOR as a tribute to Sabine Wren. In Rebels, Sabine is from the "Vizsla" house and Clan "Wren." It is possible he dropped the W. Someone said that Snoke could very well be Ezra. If so, that would actually make me like him a little more.

Hey, remember that rim tape I was telling you about? Well, got it and installed it on the back tire. Here are my thoughts as I posted on FB and Twitter:

So, got the rim tape installed on the bike. Not sure how I feel about it. The good is, like in the pic, it is bright AF! However, the circle is actually multiple curved pieces, and I can see (up close) where one ends and the other begins. I know it is just me being anal, but in the end I want it to look how I want it to look. I will be doing the front rim in the next couple days with the design I had in mind, and let the Internet decide. Anyway, here's a pic.

What ya think?

Hell yes! Its Tron F***ing Legacy! That looks so awesome! I hope you're keeping that on there.

As far as TFA goes I'm sure it will be available on digital a couple of weeks before Blu, but the longer it takes them to announce the date the more I'm afraid it will be pushed back.

I'm hoping its not Aladdin that creates the KOR. I have to admit, his character is the number one reason I'm not into Rebels lol.

You and me both! LOL! Even the new episodes where they try and make him darker just don't vibe with me. Still, the only reason I'm watching is for Ahsoka, Vader, and Maul.

I think they are holding off on the date so that the BO income doesn't completely drop. Might be a little too late though. If they do push it back, I bet it's because they will want us to head back to the theater to watch it again.

Thanks man, yeah, all the feedback from FB, you, and my kid I've decided to leave the back tire the way it is. Will be doing something a little different on the front though. Hope to have pics up sometime tonight. Took some pics today when the kid and I went on a 6 hour ride. You can see how the strip looks in the day.

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

Finished the front tire with the look I had in mind. I think I'll keep both since my daughter wanted the full rim covered, while I wanted the spaced out design. Everyone's happy :

Awesome pics!

I still have a feeling they will do an advertising blitz to get people to see TFA again during Easter.

I love it! The design you did on the front wheel looks really good. I'm really glad you went with a red and black bike.

Thanks man. Wasn't too sure how the front rim would look, but I'm happy with it. Also, those little specs in between the larger strips on the front rim are triangle shape to represent Sith Holocrons. I might actually make larger ones so they can be seen better.

On the bigscreen? Probably. Maybe do coincide with the BD? You see this? http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2016...kens-will-hit-digital-platforms-march-15.html

Ah, that makes sense. I guess I didn't realize you even went full on SW nerdout with the tape strip design. LOL! JK bud.

Well thats interesting. If its coming that soon to digital they'll have to make an announcement really soon though. Like, any day now kind of soon lol.

Yeah, they seem to be waiting until the last minute. Again, I'm guessing to prevent ticket sales from dropping too soon.

HAHA! You should know me better than that!

LOL. I should by now!

Thats what I'm thinking too, but at the same time I would think they'd want an absolutely huge marketing blitz for the Blu release, like at least a month out. There is still time for it, but I guess I'm just getting too anxious to see it again LOL.

By the way have you seen this? :

If I could find a fully poseable mannequin that would fit this and be the propper size I'd be highly tempted.

God bless it! That is one expensive costume! How much are mannequins?

 

[SithLord84]

I'm not sure. I'd guess they'd probably range between a couple hundred and a couple thousand depending on features. I see the outfit doesn't include boots. Its still a great deal though considering you'd be looking at 7k-9k if SS would make a life sized Kylo.

As long as I could make it look like the character leaped off the screen and into my room rather than a costumer over a mannequin, I'd do it. I don't think I'm that talented though, LOL!

I know exactly what you mean. I've seen many people online that have paid some good money for a movie replica costume, but then they just throw it on a mannequin that usually is way too short, and just stands in the most neutral position as possible, that never matches the character that they are trying to display.

Lovin the pics! Where is this building?

It is in Centralia, WA. Passed right by it and made a U just to take a couple pics in front of it, LOL! Some guy on a bicycle passed by and asked if I was selling my bike. I said, "HELL NO!"

Yeah, there was one guy on the old boards that I had met several years ago on a now defunct forum, but anyway, he has a lifesize Boba Fett and Vader in his living area/ HT. Brent is his name. Anyway, he posted recent pics of those two pieces after he had made some adjustments, and I never realized how much they could have been improved on originally. Not that they looked bad, but they look so much better now. I'd love to do something 1:1 some day. It would have to be a piece though that I wouldn't mind getting a little dusty.

Just threw this up on FB today with the caption: Who can guess where I was at today just from the clues in this pic?

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

Looks like we have some info!

LOL. After seeing your bike I think he might be thinking its time for an upgrade LMAO.

I think as far as 1:1 goes, Vader is always a safe choice. I mean, who doesn't like Vader lol. Getting a 1:1 of him displayed correctly is a bit of a challenge form what I've seen though.

Did you ride to Mount St. Helens? LMAO! I know I am missing something obvious here.

Hmmm... thats an interesting list. I'd love to see the table read, especially if its the whole thing. I remember them showing clips from the first table read on the TPM special features and I always wished I could have seen the whole thing.

Yeah, I'm guessing there will be another release with more extras once all the movies are done.

LOL! No, the town is called Toledo. That is a mural they have on the outside of a building. St. Helens isn't that far from there though. Not far from my house either, .

A 1:1 Vader would be the ultimate collectible, but there you do need to have some sort of protection for it. Like a glass wall or something. Imagine all the dust and fingerprints that thing would accumulate.
