Star Wars Universe Thread: May The 4th Be With You

[djlunchbox]

Glendale Galleria Disney store is STOCKED with elite figures:

Kylo Ren
Captain Phasma
Stormtrooper
Rey w/BB8.

They found the last Maul on the floor so I got it.

They also have this super dope light up BB8 for $35!

Picked up 2 Phasmas so I'm good. No need to stress about the Black Series one. Will post pics when I get home.

how does that bb8 compare to the sphero?

This.

I'm assuming that BB-8 is a figure that makes the sounds and nothing else?

I have the sphero bb8 it's pretty awesome for both a child , adult , and pet . me and my wife use the bb8 as a creative way to leave 15 second messages since I go to work before her and vice versa.

what's cool about the sphero is there is no wheels or some sort to make it move forward .. just wish it was a little bigger like the movie..

also a camera on the bb8 would have made this the toy of the decade

Yeah, I was hoping that it would be the size of the Hasbro BB-8, but I'm the cost would have been more...Especially if the droid housed a camera.

That was would be amazing, though lol.

Sorry for the late response.

The Disney store one is much bigger than both the sphero and Hasbro one (not sure on the Hasbro but I think so) it's 9.5" round so about the size of a mini soccer ball maybe. Here's a comparison shot next to a Hasbro 6" Kylo

It lights up, swivels its head, sounds and has a track on the bottom of it to roll around. It's sound activated or button activisted. Here's a review I found:



Overall it's huge and for $34.99 a steal IMO. Disney makes an R2D2 version as well which I just ordered

this was supposed to be at the force Friday launch but the stores didn't get any is what the counter girl told me.

Personally for the price and size I'll take this > Sphero one

 

[Fozz]

That one isn't too bad. Just seems really loud to me lol.

 

[hennessy]

Just got these in. Opened a storm trooper and it's way better than black series IMO.

This thread got me to start collecting the action figures. I have bought 6 in the last month.

Thinking about keeping the Disney ones in the box and opening all of the Black Series ones for display.

Any place to buy the older ones besides Ebay?

Sweet, these are poseable. I thought they were simply Die-Cast and stood there without any articulation. Looking forward to getting mine delivered tomorrow.

Passed on the Darth Maul to order the Figuarts version...Hopefully that looks clean too.

I was on the fence about adding an elite Stormtrooper since I have 2 Black Series ones but I might just have to.

Also I know this was posted before but this is a nice visual

Might just have to take the day off on the Boba Fett release day. You know it's gonna be wild. After that only one other ones I want are Vader and Grievous.

From what I've heard throughout the day, others' remarks about November may be accurate.

Boba Fett will be copped for sure.

 

[noblekane]

Anybody that ever bought any blu ray star wars trilogy dvds do they ever come with digital copies?

 

[niketalker23]

No they dont.

You have to buy the digital copies.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Any truth to the rumor about Advance Tickets going on sale on the 19th???

 

[noblekane]

Not sure where this is from but whoever it is... I salute you... 

The artwork for those are the most nostalgic things to me, as far as SW is concerned. I'll never forget when my mom brought home the trilogy on VHS after shopping for Thanksgiving '94 dinner. How she even knew there were three still baffles me, since they were sold seperately
