What I love about your videos is you mention things most of us gloss over in our productions, well those of us who make videos. I totally forgot about the Razorcrest video being talked about. Also your thoughts on the vote are also spot on. I think Republic trooper will be returning! Great Video Chris!
Thanks Mike, much appreciated, I'm really looking forward to that Razor Crest Behind the Scenes video, should be good, and yeah, Republic Trooper all the way 😁
@@SpaceHutt I expect so. I did a tally for the Black Series poll that Dagobah Luke "won" and Wedge definately had more votes, so we'll see what happens. To be fair, I'll be happy with whichever gets released, all of them are worth a second shot at retail.
I'm happy with any of those vault figures, apart from the tank driver, strange pick that one. The X-wing, I'd have preferred poes xwing but il still grab it.
@@ToysOfTheJedi I haven't Chris, I've missed a few good deals on it to, hopefully I get chance to pick it up. The commander is the difficult one which I wouldn't mind getting for loose, I guess if the driver is difficult in the US then you can't crumble then
@@ukstarwarstoyzmania8538 at a pinch, you could paint a stripe across the Driver if he ends up winning, otherwise its pretty much the same figure. If I see any deals on Poe's X-Wing, I'll give you a shout
The e.r.g is a great call for the repack wave I.m.o , not a fan of the gaming figs but the biker scout looks superb so I'll be getting him 👍 for the fan vote I'll be voting o.t for the weequay as I dont have him , I've a feeling tho that ahsoka will run away with the win , these fan votes are notoriously sketchy . Great vid chris 👍🙂
Thank you. Yeah, the last Black Series vote was a bit dodgy, I had Wedge Snowspeeder pilot down to win easily, yet Dagobah Luke was crowned king! Again, common sense would be that they just release all of them. Weequay is a nice figure and will sell well if he wins but even if Ahsoka does win, you bet your ass I'll be pre-ordering several of her! 😂
I haven't seen a confirmed price for it yet but I'm expecting aound the £100 mark. It is expensive for a repaint but we're also looking at the effect of too many people waiting for clearence on big items. Hasbro have released fewer big items and have to charge more to cover the actual cost of the item, before retail ends up clearencing them out.
It's getting more difficult to complete the MOC/loose collection. I can't justify two x-wings unless I want to live in the shed away from the wife. Also gaming greats have gone up for pre-order in Australia and retailing at $35 - it's all getting very pricey. In answer to the question, Merrick figure best reveal and re-release has to be Weequay doesn't it?
Merrick was definately the best reveal but you're right, it is frustrating having to buy two vehicles to get the figure loose and carded. Curious tyo hear why you want Weequay repacked?
@@ToysOfTheJedi Only one I own is tank driver so have to pick an original card back - that's why I'm excited about the Ackbar repack wave. Also if weequay wins may show Hasbro we love our obscure aliens.
@@stendhal35 If Weequay wins, I hope thats how they take it and he's arguably the best figure in the bunch. Personally I'm hoping for a fairly even spread of votes, that really should send a message that these were all great and obvious choices fo repacking and we end up getting them all.
I agree with all your comments on the vault figures and really hope we get the Republic Trooper 🤞 Although they got the wrong Hovertank figure, I have noticed that even the driver is going up in lrice at a bit of a rate! Loving the Gamin Greats figures, they all look cool! It's the Merrick situation that is the suckerpunch for me. I'm only a completionist for Rogue One and Mando cardbacks, I don't want the X-Wing... playset situations aside, I now need to buy a vehicle just to get a cardback. I do think Hasbro need to be careful, they could push people out of collecting by doing this more and more. (I backed the Crest, yes, but at least all the cardbacks that come with that are released on the mainline) Luke's X-Wing was over £100 without a figure 👀 I don't want to leave this on a negative though 🤣 great reveals and awesome to see you back Chris! 😁🙌
Don't worry Christian, I feel your frustration. I know Tim likes that Merrick is coming carded, but like you say, for any collectors that only get the carded figures, or those that get one to open and one carded, he becomes a very expensive figure. It sets a dangerous precedent. I'm hoping Hasbro go the route of £100 for the X-Wing as it's a repaint (I know Luke's was too but they've at least had another use out of the mould now). Fingers crossed
@@ToysOfTheJedi I hope so mate, as a collector these pack in figures have been a resentment personally (but I understand the business model) I just wish they didn't decide to push it even further with a vehicle that is undeniably going to be twice the price of the most expensive playset. We shall see mate! 🙌
@@SmugglersCanyon I totally agree and the playsets are modular, so it's more justifyable to buy two to expand the playset and still keep one of the figures carded.
QUESTION OF THE DAY ⚡ What was your favorite item from today's reveals and who will you be voting for in the TVC repack poll? Let us know! 👇🏼 *****

Favourite is Merrick , a figure we've been waiting for and a bonus X wing with it😆😆👍👌
100% It's a crying shame we didn't get him in 2016!
I’m with you on the Republic Trooper, I wish I had picked up more of them before! Also don’t forget you can vote once a day until the poll closes!!
Any idea who won?
@@ToysOfTheJedi not yet, I wonder if they will announce it on the May 4th livestream?
@@SpaceHutt I expect so. I did a tally for the Black Series poll that Dagobah Luke "won" and Wedge definately had more votes, so we'll see what happens. To be fair, I'll be happy with whichever gets released, all of them are worth a second shot at retail.
@@ToysOfTheJedi that’s interesting! We shall see, but agreed, really they should just reissue them all.
I'm happy with any of those vault figures, apart from the tank driver, strange pick that one.
The X-wing, I'd have preferred poes xwing but il still grab it.
Have you managed to get Poe's from TVC?
I know what you mean about the Tank Driver, but apparently he's quite elusive in the US 🙄
@@ToysOfTheJedi I haven't Chris, I've missed a few good deals on it to, hopefully I get chance to pick it up.
The commander is the difficult one which I wouldn't mind getting for loose, I guess if the driver is difficult in the US then you can't crumble then

I think the price for the new x-wing is ridiculous!
