Does anyone have the Snow trooper Snowspeeder boat looking vehicle? I was thinking about picking it up.

I've seen it. It's got a BF2K vibe.

I'm looking at Finn's Desert Speeder. Wonder how it might look with wheels under it.

Various sites have pics of Wave 3 of the Walmart-exclusive SA 3.75" figures. Except for the trenchcoat-Han repack, the figs look pretty good.

The Disney Parks released an astromech 4pack. I am pretty excited we finally got a figure close to Jabba's R5 from Episode One. I never thought the remote controlled one was quite right in terms of scale.

Did not expect to buy that many of the figures released so far. Then, a local grocery store put them on a buy 2 get 1 free sale, and was getting up through the snow trooper wave. Hopefully that holds me up through the movie release.

Managed to find the Walmart SA figs finally. I wish the whole line was like these. They have balljoint hips most of them so they don't sit very well, but they can stand in good poses. I was only able to find 3 of the FO Stormtrooper, and I think I need about 3 to 5 more of them. Will probably buy multiples of Poe to make more pilots. Just hard to do that when they're $12.83 each hehe.

The Walmart 4" Black Series figures are just too pricey for me. I'd rather save up and buy a few of the 6" figures as I am able. I feel a little more like I'm getting my money's worth.

Has anyone seen a 6" Snowtrooper yet? I'm rather hoping they also make a Flametrooper in that scale.

I got the Wal-Mart exclusive blue and white X-Wing for Christmas. I have to say, it is far better than Poe's black/orange one. The major problem with the black/orange were the guns. They were rubbery and usually bent right out of the box. They corrected the guns since then and on the blue/white they are perfect. In addition, the color scheme just looks so much nicer. It really pops. And the Poe figure included in this one (wearing a jacket, not flight suit) fits in the cockpit far better. If you have the means, I recommend it.

I'm waiting for these to drop in price a bit since I bought the Black/Orange one. (although I got it for half price at Fred Meyer, $24.99 which is a perfect price point for these!). Walmart is sitting around $40 for the Blue/White one. I've been thinking of building a Jakku diorama, so I may need the Blue/White one eventually, ha ha.

I wonder if we'll get an SA version of that Poe from Walmart (still waiting for Phasma, old Han, in the SA line as well)

A couple of questions...
I haven't seen the movie yet, what's the point the two different X-Wing colors? Is one used more than the other? Does Poe ever fly it without a pilot uniform?

opening scene Poe has a blue and white one (which seems to be standard) and is seen in the cockpit without his flight suit. The black one is apparently his normal fighter though.

I got the impression that the one he flies at the end of the movie is the full Resistance/Rogue Squadron X-Wing, whereas the one from the beginning could have just been a generic fighter someone might use to slip in somewhere without drawing attention to themselves.

So far, I think there's about five different Rey figures available, but once again bad distribution prevents the figures from reaching the customers.

_________________

That could be said about many of the figures right now. Distribution is spotty for all of them. I've seen Rey plenty of times and wasn't even looking for her because I was waiting to find the Black series version.

That has to be the stupidest article I've read in a long time and in no way does the Clash of the Titans or Mork and Mindy lines have any relate-able reason to be mentioned in the same paragraph as a modern Hasbro line.

And as far as girl action figures not being made this is getting ridiculous. There are hundreds if not thousands of female action figures. Yeah, there's not many in stores right this second but that could be said about any good action figure line. Female figures are out there and easily acquired as long as you put in a tiny amount of effort

just a very small portion of 1:18 females from dozens of different lines.

Spassvogel: I have an unopened 3.75" SA Phasma if interested. I picked it up about a month and a half ago and promptly forgot about it.
