Plot twist: The stormtrooper doll is not a doll, its a regular sized stormtrooper being held by a giant stormtrooper .

Its definitely got to be longer than 10 seconds of Vader action. They'd know people would be super pissed if they limited him that much.

Amazing video! I paused it many times to really soak in everything that was in the shot. He's got so much awesome stuff. That Millennium Falcon he had hanging from the ceiling looked pretty big.

I also read the comments on the vid's youtube page, that top one escalated to an odd place very quickly .

LMAO! Yeah, that guy has always been very supportive, but some of his comments, not to mention some of his vids, leave me SMH.

That MF was one from Toys R Us way back in the day. It is massive! He also has a lifesize Speederbike with Wicket on one side that you can sit on, LOL!

Haha! It's just weird. It has to be a gag. I mean, putting SW memorabilia in your SW movie? Just odd.

That speederbike sounds awesome! I don't ever remember that Toys R Us MF. My store probably wasn't cool enough to get one lol.

I'm thinking its a gag too. Unless there are kids out there in the SW Universe that are playing with toys of the bad guys.

Yeah, because nothing says ruling with ultimate power like handing out doll versions of stormtroopers during every invasion, LOL!

There was a interview someone did with the owner, and IIRC, he said it was a ToysRUs MF. I'll see if I can find it. The speederbike will be in the edited vid. I think it'll come out good.

I looked it up and it definitely was from Toys R Us. I guess my store just didn't get one.

Did you see the new HT TFA Han & Chewie

That is by far the best Harrison likeness I have ever seen!

Dammit! I really should just bite and get all my TFA characters in 1/6. Damn those look good! You getting?

I remember hearing something about a massive MF from TRU a long time ago, but have never seen it until that day.

I don't know, this Han looks so good its almost impossible to pass on. But I'm not too crazy about this Chewie or the one before. He looks cool, but something about it doesn't scream high end collectible to me. I'm really impressed with my Chewie PF. I just don't have any 1:6 SW stuff so it would be really hard for me to get 1 knowing it would be way out of place. Although I could just install a small floating shelf next to my TFA poster and put Han up there. I'm going to have to think about this for awhile. If you do a 1:6 TFA collection that might help persuade me .

I'm so damn tempted. I wanna say yes, but there's just this tiny bit that is holding me back. They aren't limited, which means I can pick them all up at my leisure pretty much.

BTW, here is the edited vid I told you about. It's just the store stuff, and I will be including the ride there as well. Just want to get your thoughts on it. Also, that popping you hear, won't be there in the final cut. I'll be taking it down after you view it.

Edit: Got rid of the popping. Here ya go!

I loved it! Great choice of music . Although I've gotta say I'm a bit disappointed in you for not buying the life sized Jar Jar .

God damn, that MF is seriously huge!

I know what you mean about HTs not being limited. I really have no idea how many of these they make. Some of them do go up in value in the aftermarket, but with no edition size its really hard to tell if its worth it.

I don't mind that they aren't limited. It gives me a chance to grab ones that have been out for a while without paying huge aftermarket costs. I'm 99.9% ready to buy, but I really want to see what XM has. Damn why they gotta take so long?

It is massive! The biggest MF I've seen in person.

Thanks man. It took me all day yesterday to edit that. Trying to get everything to line up right was a damn nightmare. Then I had to go back and make more changes (kinda felt like Lucas for a minute LOL). Super happy with this version, but thought I'd check with a fellow SW geek first before I put it up. I'd love to get that Jar Jar, but damn that price!

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

Ok dude, the final cut. Hope ya like.

It was awesome! You really did a great job fitting the video shots with the sound. Especially in the end . In the beginning of the shop part of the video, is that a Clone Wars banner or shower curtain? LOL. Do you remember how much he wanted for Jar Jar?

It did look scary on your way up there when you were passing that lumber truck .

Is there an Asian comic con coming soon? I know XM won't be bringing their stuff to SDCC since they don't have a US license, unless they get one. I guess maybe they could bring their SW stuff to SW Celebration Europe but again, I don't think they have a license for their either.

Yeah, I think that is i August IIRC. I heard XM could be showing stuff between now and the end of the year though, LOL!

Passing was a bit sketchy most of the time. Blind corners and heavy traffic. The way back was alot better, but it's still a heavily traveled road. We have log trucks a plenty here. In fact, a fellow vlogger commented on this video saying he'd like to see a vid on log trucks. We have'em, so I'll probably do one, heh heh.

JJB was $7000 I think. Watto wasn't much cheaper. Everything in the store is a little pricey. If you pause the vid on the ARC-170, you can see the price on it. Pricey! Still, the guy is awesome, and he is obviously passionate about SW.

Thanks man. This was the hardest editing I've had to do in a vid. Getting everything to line up perfectly was a nightmare. I don't care how many views it gets, just that those who view like it.

I'm sure everyone is going to love it .

I'm thinking he jacks the prices up so high because it must cost a fortune to maintain that store, but at the same time I think he prices it so high so the stuff doesn't sell so he can keep most of his collection .

I really haven't seen that many log trucks here (Thankfully because I'd get really uneasy every time I'd get near one). If there are they all must stay off the main roads. But I'll definitely check out your log truck video.

How long have we been waiting to see the XM pics now? It seems like years lol.

An eternity, LOL! And, they supposedly have the Boba Fett statue painted!

And, wouldn't you know it, I didn't see one single log truck today, and we took a 13 hour bike ride to Westport!!!! I had planned on filming every log truck I came across, but there wasn't any at all! LOL! Frikkin' figures!

I forgot to answer your question, yes, it was a Clone Wars banner. I am going back for the Jar Jar mug too!

I wonder why they can't just show this thing off already. They must be waiting for a Con.

Damn thats a long ride! I'd be sore riding in a car, I can only imagine how 13 hours on a bike would feel.

Yes!!! I should really get one of those too. I have a Vader and a Maul mug, but there are so many more characters I should get too.

I always like banners and other store or theater movie marketing materials. Its cool to get one of those things because they aren't meant for public sale. I got a really thick 2 sided TPM banner thing back in '99 that has Maul on one side and Jar Jar on the other, I think it was from Walmart.

I remember that banner. I've always wanted to get banners made of all the different SW symbols like Sith, Jedi, etc. Someday.

I'm definitely getting it when I go back. I'll see what other mugs they have and text you.

Or, Disney/ LFL are being doosh's. It's way long over due!

That banner idea is excellent! I wish I had more room for banners, posters and prints. I almost bought a SW "One last time" VHS standee (from that commercial we love) the other day from ebay, but I passed because I just couldn't figure out where I'd put it.

Don't worry about the mugs bud. I'm sure his selection will be awesome, but I'm sure with the premium he charges I could probably get 3 of them on eBay for the same price. It would be one thing if I was actually there at his awesome store, but its kind of pointless when I'm not.

It very well could be a douche move from LFL. I actually was even thinking that yesterday. I'd find it really hard to believe if we don't see it within the next 2 months though.

I was wondering if XM would be worried about not being able to show their product, but since these usually sell out within minutes, I doubt it. Even if things went quiet for months, once they put up a statue, collectors would go nuts! I just want to see the finished product man, and something on that Vader trio.

I'm not sure when I'll head back, but I'll definitely send you some photos right away. Or, just post'em up on IG.

I feel your pain man. LOL! More room and money for sure! LOL!

Thanks for posting that man. I love the pic. Dammit though XM! Show the frikkin' statue already!

I just wanna see the whole thing already! This thing will end up costing way more than I'd be willing to pay for the character, but I have to admit just from the few shots I've seen, the detail of the fully sculpted clothing is so damn incredible! It makes me wanna see the Vader dio thing even more.

You should probably take a car next time so you can load up on souvenirs . He didn't have any Sideshow stuff did he?

We are only 2 weeks away from SW Celebration. I know we'll definitely be getting a new Rogue One trailer for sure, I hope Vader is in it so badly, and I hope someone records it from the audience so we can hear their reaction.
