As the Thrawn fan I am, I need a Rokh and Chimaera stormtrooper commander pack from rebels. With Rokh having a recent appearance too, I don't think its too unreasonable of an ask
I definitely liked the upgrade to his character model that he got in Tales of the Empire, and yeah he'd go well with maybe a Stormtrooper Commander with the black pauldron and Seventh Fleet insignia on his shoulder! That would be awesome. I'm a massive fan of the Grand Admiral myself, so anything Thrawn related gets my immediate approval XD
The twin packs they could do in their sleep would be Jedi Duel twin packs. They may not even need new figures. Qui Gon vs Maul, Obi Wan vs Anakin, Yoda vs Dooku, Bespin Luke vs Vader and Rey vs Kylo Ren. Then you could have Cantina aliens, Momaw Nadon/Zutton, Dr Evazan/Pondo Baba, Greedo/Han and a couple of the Modal Nodes. Those would be no brainers.
I'm kind of hopeful for this direction since they revealed that Duel of the Fates three pack. New Maul and new robes for the two existing Jedi figures is a pretty refreshing way to do rereleases. And I've heard that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were difficult figures for a lot of people to find so that drives up the value for new collectors. I also wouldn't mind seeing something like the old Starkiller Base Kylo and Rey figures, they weren't a two pack but they each came with a decorative diorama base that fit together and made them look much more dynamic. I love all of these ideas!
Will you do a black series wishlist for: tales of the Jedi, tales of the empire , and force unleashed 1 & 2 next or any time soon? I would love to see that 😎🙏
Wishlists for the "Tales of" shows are definitely on the books for this series! And yeah I would love to look into Force Unleashed at some point too! The Starkiller figure turned out great :))
I would love to get a new X-Wing pilot mould in the line, Biggs maybe? The old original Luke mould is decent but it does make our pilots a little too short for Stormtroopers XD
My choices before hearing yours are Tales of the Jedi Qui Gon and Dooku. Remastered episode 3 Commander Gree and the ARF trooper with camo Trade Federation duo of Gunray and the other guy from phantom menace Clone Wars Plo Koon and a remastered Comander Wolfe Clone Commander Bacara and Clone Marine
Excellent picks! I definitely like the idea of a Nute Gunray and Rune Haako twin pack, I had a Rune figure back when I was a kid, he was always my stand-in baddie since I could never track down Gunray. That might have a lot to do with why I want a Black Series one so badly!
These are some solid choices T! I've just had a "raggy" couple of hours on ebay losing out on 2 overpriced obi shinobis, then "rage ordering" the Darth/Obi concept 2-pac in retaliation for my dismal failure!! I'm now tired and emotional!! 😅😅 I definitely need a break from this shit!!
I never picked up the concept twin pack, you'll have to let me know if it's any good. I thought about getting it to use the Vader helmet for a more Rebels themed Vader, but the colours really put me off XD
@@grandmofftony I finally got it yesterday and it really is interesting. I missed out on a handful of sets that went half price on 2 different on-liners recently, so had to pay retail for it, which isn't too bad. The Obi head is fantastic and so is the Vader helmet. Unique laser-swords as well. Vader has dark blue robes and is a very dark blue of body. I was hoping Shinobi would be one of those random new sculpts they use once, but in-box it appears to be a repaint of ANH, but a significant re-paint, so it definitely gives the impression of being new.
Admiral Trench is one of my most wanted figures, I just feel like it could be such a great centerpiece figure! Especially if they go for the later season, half-cyborg look for him. Combining the two things the Black Series does well every time; droids and aliens. He could be perfect!
Nah commander b1 and a commando droid would have people going crazy For me itd be easy a airborn trooper 212th attack battalion trooper with a updated articulation cody
That Commando Droid has to be coming right? I mean with Outlaws coming out they're definitely going to want to capitalise on those characters, although saying that they were a little hesitant to do too many Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor figures...
Ep3 Obi-Wan and Cody OR 212th trooper? Ep3 Dark side Anakin and 501st trooper? Jaro Tapal and 13th Battalion trooper? Pong Krell and 501st trooper? Ep3 Sidious and Praetorian Guard? Cin Drallig and Jedi Temple Guard? (would absolutetly love this one 😍)
Some excellent choices there! Especially Cin! He kicked my butt on the old Revenge of the Sith game, I remember thinking this guy is in a half-second hologram scene he has no business being this difficult to beat! XD
I find people in the States are much more eager to talk about Star Wars than I ever found in the UK. For instance, any time I see someone with a Star Wars shirt on at work, I always make a point to mention it and it usually spirals out into a long ol' conversation and I end the interaction with a new friend who always talks Star Wars with me every time they come into my branch. Maybe it's just that Americans are much more talkative than Brits, especially with people they don't know. I've met so many Star Wars fans just this way, and they always remember you too. They just have a very different way of interacting with people out in public. I feel like for Brits we limit our interactions as much as possible when we're out and about, don't ask for help in stores, use the self-checkout, get in and out as quick as we can XD maybe that's just my experience but I've definitely noticed it!
I'm not a fan of this direction. The saving you get for it being a multipack is tiny, if it's there at all. So all it's doing is forcing you to buy two figures. Fine if you want them both, but what if you don't? Marvel Legends do a lot of multipacks, and they pretty much never re-issue them as singles. There are so many great characters I've had to ignore because I just don't want the character they bundle them in with. As a company, I get it, you're getting people to buy figures they don't want, in order to get ones they do, but from a customer perspective I just don't see the upside. If you want them both, you could still get both if they did them as single releases. Multipacks suit the people that want both figs, single releases suit everyone.
That's definitely a valid perspective, and was part of the reason why I tried to make each new figure get paired with an army builder that people wouldn't mind having multiples of. I don't do a ton of army building myself, I'll usually get one of each figure and only really get multiples if I get a decent deal on the troopers so I can build out my displays. I don't collect Marvel Legends personally, and a big part of why is exactly what you've said here, so I couldn't agree more. Legends also does build-a-figures which are my least favourite scummy corporate money-grabs, forcing you to buy five figures to get one feels so dirty, especially when you look at the character choices for the sets. Twin packs may not necessarily work for everyone, luckily the Black Series has a number of different sub-lines to make money off existing figures in order to fund new ones :)

Yes more pilots please! I’d most likely buy all of these two packs 👍🏻

@@grandmofftony there’s just something to having Gunray having a lackey that I really really like. But loved the list
Great choices, dude, especially Nute.
Thanks mate! I will get my Black Series Gunray one of these days!

I’m hoping for an Admiral Trench / Tactical Droid (reuse security droid body?) pack. Gunray and Chirpa are rocking choices!

Do you see any differences between British and American Star Wars fandom?
I find people in the States are much more eager to talk about Star Wars than I ever found in the UK.
