Lost In Xanadu Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Out of all of them, the cloud pod thing sucked. The landing "feet" never worked very well. I loved the Ice Base, that (along with the Falcon) were my favorites. I remember there was a little spot you could put figures and hit a mechanical trigger that would send them flying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stone and a hard place Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I had(have) most of the toys from Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back but lost interest in the toys as Return of Jedi came out. Teenagers are too cool for star wars toys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I had all those toys as well. Good memories :) I liked the trailer for the new movie. Of course I didn't need to see it in order to go see the movie but it's nice to get aboard the hype train for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I was just stretching and yawning a few minutes ago when I let out a noise that sounded similar to a wookie. I figured this would be the proper place to share that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first figure I ever got was a Stormtrooper. I remember bringing that sucker everywhere because he looked so cool. Chewy & Han soon followed. Wasn't really a fan of the Luke figure even as a 6 year old...but he never was anywhere near my favorite character anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Ladies and Gentlemen. I am one of the biggest Star Whores on the planet. I shouldn't even post this on the public forum but fukk it. I missed out on the Seventies stuff since I was so young.But I made up for it from 1995 to present.I've collected Star Wars Shit forever. Two of each. Mint on card. In plastic comic book sleeves.All of it. Probably worth nothing but it was fun. The chase is always better than the catch. Right boys?Isn't that a Motorhead song? Anyway it doesn't matter. I think all of "The Force Awakens" figures are complete junk.There is an 80 dollar Target exclusive of that lame ass beach ball droid. I bought one. Put it together and it was lopsided. Pure shit. Returned it. So I will never spend a dime on this crappy Disney product line. STAR WHORES Lucas sold out and now everything else will skyrocket. I wanted to type "CRUMBLE." I loved the first two trailers but the long MNF Trailer really was pathetic. It's all CGI. It's all chaos. It looks like it's made for TV. Hope I am wrong but man I am not happy. It's a forumla. It's Hollywood Billionaires Clubs loving every minute of it. That's a lame Loverboy song. Perfect. Even Chewie doesn't look the same. His eyes are smaller with eye liner. KISSBACCA! LAME! "MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU!" Edited October 24, 2015 by RUSHHEAD666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Wasn't really a fan of the Luke figure even as a 6 year old...but he never was anywhere near my favorite character anyway. Who was your favorite character? I find it interesting how many people have chosen characters other than Luke - the principle hero of the story. My favorite was Luke all the way, and sometimes I think I'm in the minority...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 When I told my fiancee I had been heartbroken as a child because I lost my Boba Fett action figure in the schoolyard, she tracked one down in an antique shop and gave it to me as a wedding gift. True love, or what? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite was Luke all the way, and sometimes I think I'm in the minority...... Luke didn't become enjoyable until Return Of The Jedi. Mature Jedi Luke is awesome. What he was before that wasn't. I'm not sure how anyone could like him that much after the first movie since he was so annoying and bland. Besides the fact he had a lightsaber, there was nothing that interesting about him until he starts training with Yoda and it's revealed that Vader is his dad. There were plenty of better characters than him in the first two movies. I am intrigued by what he will be like in the new movie though. Older, wiser, Jedi master Luke has the potential to be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older, wiser, Jedi master Luke has the potential to be really good.Pretty much agree with that. I thought I read somewhere that there will be spinoff flicks and so forth after this trilogy. Of ALL the characters to spinoff from a Star Wars film the most likely to be successful would HAVE TO be Han & Chewy. Ford will be way too old by then but I'm just saying if it were to be done NOW.

Lost In Xanadu Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Stopped at a store to get an umbrella while on vacation, and they had a bunch of Star Wars, ep 7 ornaments on sale for $7. We picked up a few for my son... There was:R2D2http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515yHNBM8RL._AC_UL320_SR240,320_.jpg C3PO (with a red arm?) Yoda Vader ... and "Lead Villain" - That's all the box said :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 They showed Luke... his father's helmet was behind him at the timeThat's a good theoryApparently this is a common fan theory. Watching a DVRd episode of Conan he stated this a couple times. I am avoiding the internet chatter and was just throwing that out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
