  1. WoW Slave IV that's awesome, yeah! that's more like it. Perhaps Kylo still a bit too big. You want to imagine there are engines in there. I got the diecast Millenium falcon, before this came out. Is this Tie also diecast? I love it. TLJ killed Solo for me. I have yet to watch it. One day, when my heart beats again, I will... I maintain my points about the movie, and i respect your opinion guys. If you find the movie entertaining, then thats great. I just shared my humble opinion about this movie, and i have to say TLD did bothered me. It felt careless and misdirected to me. Visually it is amazingthough. Oh man, I wanted that Maul with the speeder... I think the speeder could be a hair bigger... but it rocks.
  2. Mark Hamill knows his character very well and unlike many actors he loves the star wars universe. Hamill is Luke, as Harrison is Indy. They contributed to their roles at times. Mark merely tried to warn us not to expect much, and he was right. It would make more sense if Kylo tried to kill Luke in his sleep. He is the treasonous/treacherous one. Luke's character departure is too astonishing, and weak. Luke would never attempt to kill his nephew, he would talk to him, as he did with Vader. Now Luke is experienced, he converted his father, and he would talk to Kylo first, not just try to kill him. Luke would never leave his friends to die, we know this is not part of his character. Oh did you notice Luke doesn't whine in ROTJ? See how the arc works? I never said these films were perfect, but they do have nice character development. Star wars is mostly about Luke's arc. From farmer to student, to defeat, and redemption. Just look at how reduced are the roles of Leia and Han are.You can equally say this is Vader's arc back into the light side. They are arch enemies, and they compliment each other parts in the story. BTW those rations in ESB looked like cookies, and bread sticks to me. I love my 6 inch black series, and my Figuarts, and Mafex. Hasbro is improving vastly. so i'll support anything from the OT. I have to apologize, i was harsh on Kylo's tie fighter, and i won't retract it, but you are right. It does look badass, specially at 15 bucks. Oh, yeah , forum stuff, here are some pics of some stuff i bought... a few years ago... {sorry i am poor right now, but i love to see people's toys.) S.H. Figuarts' Luke, Mafex Vader, and Black series storm troopers. At the back the big x wing, i can't recall what series it belongs to. Luke and Han are disguised as the stormtroppers...
  3. That on the left, is the legacy collection tie fighter, with the bigger wings. Still, look at the size of the cockpit. at least that's the same. I Own a TFA Tie, and its the same size cockpit as it is for all my other Tie fighters. TFA Tie plastic sucks though. The Lego Kylo's Tie is actually a bit more proportionate. Yes know the scale is off generally ins star wars, but judging from the plastic quality, this looks ridiculously small. Please pause video for size comparison. How do you pilot this thing? Laying down? It is tiny, and embarrassing...
  4. Yes, they even have face printing technology now. Hasbro has upped their game, and the prices... BTW, that Kylo's Tie fighter(pictured with wrong pilot) is way too small. I got all the Tie fighters, including the force awaken's, and I can't bring myslef to put this thing next to them. Plus the plastic is shait, at best. I saw it on sale for 30 bucks, and i still didn't buy it. I watched it die. I had car repairs too, but hey, I watched it die... BTW i have bought no TLJ toys. Big turn off.
  5. That's very cool, thanks! A bit too long, and showy, but nice edit in, i am sorry i went into the dark side for a minute, please resume regular forum stuff.... things... Look! pretty picture! Schwing!
  6. I am still turned off too Erikelvis. This is why Solo flopped. No one cares anymore. edit in: The Return of the Jedi's space battle is Remember how the ships had to divert, because of the shields being active on the Deathstar? then in TLJ the shields don't matter, right? UGH
  7. Lolicon, Disney called Hamill into attention. Disney knew this was negative for the brand. Mark apologized for his remarks, and then became more optimistic about the movie. He is a great actor. Technoblue, since disney bought the franchise the toys quiality went to crap. NOW after lots of fan backlash and competition from Figuarts and others, Hasbro is upping their game. I partially blame TLD for the collapse of ToysRus. I don't know if you noticed the mountains of star wars products not sold. People hated the movie, so the toys won't sell.
  8. SPOILERS!!! You are going to tell me the man who gave his own life to save his murderous Father, would try to kill his own still innocent Nephew, in his sleep? Luke Destroyed the Death star, brought down an AT-At by himself, He took out at least half of Jabba's gunmen, and then let the Emperor attempt to kill him, so his Dad, would in turn face the emperor, and redeem himself. This is not badass? What did Luke do in ep 8? Luke whined, drank nasty milk, and projected himself to another planet. To just die of exhaustion. How is that badass? Even Mark Hamill, himslef said " this is not my Luke" in regards to the poor treatment his character got. Do you want to get into the plot holes, and terrible waste of time in Canto Bight, the casino? Flying Leia? Chewbacca does nothing in this movie? Not for a second Luke mourns the death of his best friend? They destroy characters at the expense of a joke(Genreal Hux)? The super slow space chase? The fact that Admiral Holdo wont share the escape plan to the man who just saved them, by destroying the dreadnought? This causing an unnecessary mutiny? The social justice warriors message with the horse/bunny/dog creatures? Plus, listen to Rian johnson, the guy who wrote and directed the film This to me, means he can please only half the audience. Plus this "sequel" (ep8) does not follow the things set up in the previous film. Then the terrible humor... In my conversations online i have noticed the people who actually liked this movie despised Luke's character. I can understand that, and I have to say, a beautiful movie to behold. This movie is well filmed and incredibly beautiful. It is like buying a beautiful Italian sports car, but it doesn't run. It is pretty though! I am sorry man, but if you liked it, i am glad for you. TLJ killed Solo edited: typo & content. Here is my star wars collection https://www.victorlenhoff.com/star-wars-1
  9. I would not bother watching Star Wars ep 8 The last Jedi. Total disrespect to our iconic characters. I tried watching it a second time, and I could not finish it. Total crap sore movie from friggin’ hell.
  10. I don't know about that. i am, playing with my 1/48 1S Hikkie and this thing rocks. I will have to sell some organs for this though... This 1/48 should be, other than the 1/60, the ultimate Valkyrie, and I must get it! Then in 2 years... This 1/35 should be, the Ultimately perfect Valkyrie!... then 2 years later... This 1/24 should be, the Glorious ultimate Perfect Valkyrie of all time.... Then 3 years later... Project 1/18 is cancelled due to deaths related to prototype valk transformation accidents.
  11. Thanks Pulltoeject, but it is still far from completed. I am getting excited about how it looks now, so i had to share.
