blu3blazer Are you going to the TRU on HBG Pike tonight? Nah. I'm not doing the midnight thing. I'll be at Disney Store when they open at 6am though. They're giving away a free pin with purchase and I'm more interested in seeing what other Disney exclusives there are since Disney Stores don't restock their exclusives a lot of the time.

I mean nothing like having a second 6" line to confuse the hell out of me. Probably need to see some reviews on those before I get one but I love the added detail. The Rey looks great. Edit: So Wave 2 of the Black Series does include Poe, which I expected, as well as Constable Zuvio, which I don't think we know anything about yet. So Poe/Zuvio/Phasma/Snow Trooper is BSW2. Phasma/Rey/Finn/Ren is the first wave of the diecast figures at the Disney store. To clarify, the diecast figure is a Flame Trooper, not a Snow Trooper, and that's why those two look different. Thanks for the correction. I'm not well-versed enough on Troopers to know which is which at a glance. Here are the pics of the Disney Store Elite Series: General Grievous is a beast!

Not to confuse things but are you saying you have seen confirmation that there is a non-diecast wave 2 of 6" figs that include poe, zuvio, phasma, and snow trooper? Here's the pic I saw on Facebook:

They will only be available at Disney Stores and the packaging is completely different, so they shouldn't be too confusing! And they're die cast, not plastic, and supposedly hand painted.

There's a Disney Store exclusive die cast 6" scale "Elite Series". I've seen individually carded pictures of everyone in this photo, plus Captain Phasma, Rey, Finn, a different Snowtrooper and Kylo Ren. And not including R2D2 or C3P0, who were D23 exclusives:

The early DMs in 2011 sat around forever and they had tons of accessories. Why Mattel thought these would sell at the same price point with less accessories is beyond me.

Still haven't found the elusive Hogan Window Crasher? I've been looking for one for so long (well over 10 years) that I'd probably pay $200 for a loose one at this point.

The whole point was to have a thread like this one where Chris can update the first post when he has news. Not to have a locked thread that you control that will be updated whenever you feel like it. You're really overthinking this moderating thing.

Ik this must have been asked a million times but what are the line ups so far? -WMD We would know if there was some sort of thread where the person in charge of the line could update the first post with all of the information.

Why would they want to generate ill will with talent that they're trying to work with by basically telling them to eff off, we're doing this how we want to?
Did people complain about Jakks' bWo Stevie Richards using the same 2005 headscan as his other figures instead of sculpting a new much younger looking 1995 head? Maybe a few did, but I sure don't remember it.

If it had any nWo logos at all, it would have to be licensed through WWE since they own the rights to nWo. This is licensed directly through Hulk Hogan, not WWE, which is why it's still coming out. They are making a nWo version. There are 3 in the works. The one you see now, a 80's version and a 90's nWo version. It may not say nWo, but likely a Hollywood Hogan with his trademark owned Hollywood Hogan shirt. Awesome. Thanks!

The company must do pretty well with these to keep making them after all these years. They've been making 3.75" figures at least since the late '80s. My brother had a bunch of them to go with his GI Joes.

There's one in Lancaster and one in Hershey. thanks sorry just wanted to know which outlet you found them at. Bust wanted to make one trip I got mine in Lancaster. They had a ton of them. I'm sure Hershey has them as well. Call before you go in. They're always very helpful to me when I call.

I don't know if anyone here is into this kind of stuff, but this all just showed up at the Disney Store on clearance. They might be outlet only though because the one by me is an outlet. Where's the outlet? There's one in Lancaster and one in Hershey.

Very cool. My daughter has the Minnie Mouse one. I have a Donald as Han and a Donald as a Stormtrooper. Never saw the other sets before. The Muppets sets were all Disney Parks exclusives in 2013. As far as I know, this is the first time they've been available in their retail locations outside of the parks.

how the heck can i even listen to it? You have to be a subscriber. Bill probably didn't realize it wasn't a free show when he posted the link. It's well worth the $10.99 a month for me with all of the audio they have because I work from home. They literally put out at least 2 hours of audio per day. Also, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
