You should get the Tweeterhead statues. They already mentioned they're working on Batman and they are doing both black/grey and blue/grey.

I'm unimpressed with Hot Toys first announcement.

Yeah, I definitely need to avoid the Tweeterheads so I don't get sucked into another line lol. I'd already have trouble fitting the 3 I want and I'm sure those 3 are just scratching the surface of the entire Batman line they have planned.

I'm not really that excited by this either. I'd put this at the same hype level I had for the Stromtrooper with the electric staff thingy from the last movie, which was pretty abysmal.

But all three of those would fit right into a Besta together. I feel like you're losing money if you don't buy them.

I actually like the black stripe on the helmet, but I don't need another FO trooper. My Jakku one will suffice. I do like that they added teeth to the duck helmets though. I'm guessing they'll review a few more figures today, one will probably be that ugly red trooper thing.

Ha! You're becoming a terrible influence! Maybe I will get them someday. I never know what I'll want to be collecting 6-12 months down the road, its always changing.

I didn't even notice the teeth. They didn't have those in the last movie? Goes to show how much attention I paid to that design . That red trooper thing is so weird looking. Watch them end up being the most awesome characters in the movie! Lol.

Ha, I'm only trying to help you...spend your money!

No there were no teeth on the helmets in the last movie. I actually noticed something! That red trooper better be the most badass character in the movie because as of right now that's got to be one of the worst Star Wars designs I have ever seen. It might even be worse than a different actor playing Han Solo.

I do like some of the t-shirts. Maybe I'll grab on tomorrow if I see them.

I think this is a set I should help encourage you to spend your money on while I sit back and enjoy your pictures while putting my money back into my wallet. Why do I continue with this ridiculous hobby? What is my end-game, and will I even know when that is?

You noticed a lot more than I did, I don't even think I noticed the black stripe either until you pointed it out earlier. Jesus, did I even look at this thing? I think everytime I see a new trooper design my mind just thinks "there goes another cash grab" and I don't even bother looking at it. Have you seen the Porg things online yet? Apparently SW fans are clamoring all over this new thing. It looks like a f***ing Furby. It was clearly created to sell toys to small children. I don't know anything about them other than they have something to do with Chewie. I hope he eats these things.

Those Calmpbell's soup cans look awesome! I still haven't decided what, if anything, I'm going to get yet. Rest assured it won't be one of those dumb Porg things!

Ha, that works too! That means you need to start bugging me to get a good camera! I have an end game, I just need a company to actually make all the characters I want. I'm hoping Tweeterhead comes through for me in 1/6 scale (maybe with an assist from XM). I already have an end game in mind for my Marvel statues. Nova and Star-Lord are the only two I'll buy in the future. Star Wars will never end as long as there's more movies, ha. I'm looking forward to the break next year during the Han Solo movie when I won't have to buy any figures. I mean right now K-2SO, R2, Jyn, and TFA Luke are all starting to ship from Hot Toys!

I just looked at that Porg thingy, what the hell? That is definitely another kid catering character like the ewoks (whom I love) and Jar-Jar...maybe even BB-8 to an extent. But these look a lot sillier. Stormtroopers are definitely cash grabs for Hot Toys, I mean have you seen those porcelain troopers? Seriously.

Kohl's is basically across the street from where I live and I like those two shirts the best, I might go grab one. I'll probably be too lazy though.

For $800, you can get this Lego: https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/31/...millennium-falcon-set-7541-pieces-800-dollars

Seriously, this red helmet is just...awful.

6-inch Black Series, I vote you get Admiral Ackbar: https://www.comicbookmovie.com/sci-...s-force-friday-6-black-series-figures-a153568

I don't think I'll ever have an end game. I think I'll just end up abandoning collecting. I can say I have a list but there is constantly new stuff popping up that I don't plan on, and sometimes it ends up looking better than the characters I was planning on. Maybe during your break during the Han movie you can get yourself a new camera.

Jar Jar is still awesome! But I can totally see how he was created to sell toys too. Who the hell is buying the HT porcelain Stormtrooper? That is the most hideous thing I've ever seen in my life. Other than maybe that solid gold Batman Prime 1 has . I think these might be intended for the Asian market, they collect some weird-ass looking stuff over there.

I might hit up Kohl's this weekend and get a shirt or two also.

They are doing the $800 Lego MF! Thanks for posting that, it was a rumor for quite awhile, but its really happening! Should I get one? The last one of those Ultimate MFs they made used to sell for $5K on ebay! I really want this. I don't know whats wrong with me I keep buying the stupidly expensive stuff. I could just sell everything and get like 40 HTs instead.

That red helmet is the worst thing ever. I'm not buying any character that has that thing on no matter how cool they are. It looks like they are really pushing the Stormtrooper Executioner. I saw they are doing a costume hoody of that too.

The Admiral Ackbar looks cool. And he comes with a gun! Do you think he going to have some action scenes in this movie?

I wish I could just abandon collecting. I don't know that I ever will though...unless I somehow get married which I doubt will ever happen.

That Lego Falcon is crazy! It would be pretty epic if you got it, but what would you do with it after you put it together? That's my problem with Legos. I enjoy the build, but then I'm completely bored with the finished product. I suppose you could buy one and just keep it sealed to see if the price doubles...

The stormtrooper executioner is at least decent looking. That red abomination looks like they added part of a Frisbee on top of a blue tooth speaker and spray painted it red. I bet they'll be selling that helmet as a blue tooth speaker soon. That's probably the only reason they went with that design!

Ha, I can't imagine Admiral Ackbar having action scenes! Can you imagine him running even? I'm picturing him rolling around firing off shots from his blaster, it seems more hysterical than awesome.

The UCS Lego sets are really awesome and most of them come with stands. This Falcon will probably be as big as that grail Master Replicas model. I'm telling ya this thing will look absolutely EPIC displayed on a coffee table. I don't know if I'll get it or not, I'm going to have to mull this one over for awhile.

These characters are channeling their inner Bluetooth speaker.

Dude that would be even more awesome than Vader's RO scene!

Well I'm certainly not going to discourage you from getting that Lego set! I think it's amazing, I just know Legos aren't for me.

Ha, imagine stormtroopers sneaking down a hallway when all of the sudden Ackbar pops up behind one of them, says "it's a trap *****" and snaps his neck.

Well I'm off to bed. I hope I wake up to an episode VIII trailer and a Hot Toys Poe, Rey, or Kylo tease! Or even better, they surprise us with Lando!

I probably won't get it anyways. Just thinking about the price for a couple of hours has already slapped me back into reality lol.

LMAO!

I hope I wake up to a TLJ trailer too. I heard a rumor we were supposed to get one today, because supposedly it was going to drop sometime in August supposedly according to some Disney shareholders thing, but that never happened. Oh well. I hope HT at least surprises you with a cool p.o. you weren't expecting.

I already did my Force Friday shopping at Amazon about an hour ago. I ordered the 3.75" Luke, Rey and Kylo .

I also managed to get the TLJ Rey Premiere card in the Topps Star Wars Card Trader app:

Nice on the action figures! Definitely post pictures when they arrive.

What is this trading card app?

No trailer and no HT announcements.

They should be here tomorrow. I'll definitely post pics. I don't know if I'm going to open them or not yet.

Its a SW Digital Card trader app. I've had it for 2 years now, it used to be really awesome when it first came out, you used to be able to get most of the cards you wanted for free. Now its almost becoming a pay to play app. I wouldn't really recommend it anymore like I would have a year ago.

It sure is a pretty lame Force Friday so far. I'm still hoping for a trailer sometime today.

Are you going to get Pops?

Look at all those characters, where you at Hot Toys???

I really want a trailer, I'm getting grumpy about it, ha. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything today. At least it's a 3-day weekend!

No! No! No! No more pops. I think and hope the Rogue One Pops I got will be my only SW ones.

I'm waiting for today's inevitable HT release of the red bluetooth speaker guy just for you lol.

I really want a trailer too. Where the eff is it? I think its safe to say if they don't release it by noon pacific time we won't get one today. I was planning on watching this trailer a hundred times during the three day weekend!

 

[terp_fan99]

Here's a poster, hopefully the trailer is next!

Ha, people are addicted to Pops. They're like beanie babies to me.

I have a feeling that will be the next HT reveal unfortunately.

 

[SithLord84]

That's an awesome poster! I actually saw it last night because its actually the Premiere Award card in the SW Card Trader App. There is also a poster of Snoke with the red retards, and there is a poster with Luke and Rey on it and it has a spoiler on it! Its not character related, but its something really awesome I would have liked saved for either in the movie or at the very least in a trailer.

I hate Pops. And I hate that I buy them!

Yeah, they are definitely going to make it, it just comes down to when.

I was happy those red things weren't on that poster! I see the executioner trooper is right up front. I'm guessing he'll have like 30 seconds of screen time, ha. That sucks you learned a borderline spoiler, I'm sure I'll see it eventually.

So it looks like the Sphero R2 is pretty close to the same size at the Hot Toys one. It's also $60 cheaper and is remote control...hmmmmm...

Thats exactly what I'm thinking! I don't know why they are hyping the Executioner so much, the design isn't even that amazing. The Flametroopers from the last movie looked way cooler and weren't hyped as much. Try to avoid official TLJ drawings as much as you can. Its not a massive spoiler but its pretty cool.

Get the Hot Toys one. How often are you actually going to use the remote control on this thing? And if you do you might run it into something and break it or scratch it and it will look bad on display. Its probably even more cheapely made than Sideshow's. (Sorry if I just crushed your dream . If I did just ignore what I said)
