The HASBRO/STAR WARS Appreciation Thread

Anyone seen the new Return of the Jedi Vintage figures - Wicket, Ackbar, R2, Gammorrean Guard? They look awesome! Well done, Hasbro. Keep up the excellent work. Here's hoping they do another Boushh that's even greater than the last one.

Also hoping that one of these days, they'll get a Vader that is really good. Most of the newest ones are better than the last, but they're still off. Oh, and if they could sculpt a really good Stormtrooper helmet.

anything more with the ATATs?

Yeah, the troopers always look weird. I like the newer TIE pilot, so let the same guy do the trooper.

I've just found that Target (Australia) have the TIE Bomber on special this week at $49.99, saving $30.00 on its original price. The sale ends next week.

Its nice for sure, but the wings are off, and the plastic is really soft.

 

[Junk Pilot]

I have noticed the area around the outside of the solar panels needs to be widened but other than that it looks pretty good. Is there anything else wrong with the wings?

 

[Peagis]

That falcon is amazing!

On the x-wing what exactly did you change?

Many details are wrong, and so is the solarpanel pattern.

Nice work on your Snowspeeder, Sasmysquatch.

 

[Junk Pilot]

Okay.
The Twin Pod Cloud Car.

Studio Scale vs Hasbro. How does the Hasbro unit compare with the aforementioned? Is it a good representation?

Nice work on your Snowspeeder, Sasmysquatch.

Thank you, i recently started to modify the opened area on the left side of the snowspeeder to create a more detailed display. i will post pics soon.

Ive seen it the other week. I dont know the cloud car, so I wonder the same. And if it has the rubber plastic?

Here is my Greivous conversion. The build thread is here for those interested in the process

Okay. I've finally found enough time to post a photo of my Hasbro xmas haul. They're still in there boxes because we are in the process of cleaning house which means tossing all the junk out and cleaning the rooms. You wouldn't believe the amount of crap we have.

It could be a while before they are out of their box though.

WOW. What a brilliant paint and mod job. I had to look twice to realise it was the Hasbro Falcon.

Love it.

 

[NAZGÛL]

Looking great MAXX!

Hasbro alert

Just letting all the Aussies here know Target appear to have reduced the price on their Hasbro Star Wars line.

I saw today the Tie Fighter (vintage pack), Snowspeeder, Tie Bomber and The Defense of Hoth pack reduced to $29.95, down originally from as much as $79.00.

Better check your local Target store.
