Ok guys, I picked up my haul today. Type Formula, Knuckle, and 3x Battle droids and clone troopers.

As described in the posts above, the Clone Trooper has the same fucked up leg situation as the original Stormtrooper. The thigh armor extends up way too high for the hip joint to be rotated forward. Totally stupid since they have two solutions (three, really). Reduce the leg armor, make a slider mechanism to get it out of the way, or use the old drop-style hips. All would work but Bandai completely dropped the ball on this pretty high profile release (licensed under SW banner blah blah blah)

I have two solutions which i did on my opened trooper:
1) Pull the leg down, away from the hip joint, down along the connector peg. This will drop the leg further down, give you additional mm's of clearance. Not perfect, but not really invasive, doesn't affect other articulation or do any damagen i can see

2) Pull the leg off entirely. Take an Exacto knife. Hack off as much armor as you want. The plastic is pretty cut-able. It's white plastic, and when you put it back, there's a black joint so you can't really tell any difference, all you're exposing is the trooper's under suit.

So I just got an email from Amazon saying they have canceled my Gold Freeza preorder. Is anyone surprised by this at this point?

Mace Windu is the next release in the SW line, he'll come out in May 2016. Official pics are here .

Looks pretty cool, but I won't buy one.

However, if the previous pattern of releasing a good guy and a bad guy from each movie first continues we might see Jango Fett soon. And I'm pretty excited for that one.

takin their sweet time getting the Fett mold out
its gonna sell out in milliseconds

true to that, let's hope no fett going to be tamashii web exclusive.
I can deal with ROTJ Fett as exclusive though as long as ESB Fett going to be retail release.

Awesome. When's he expected to go on sale?

(Also, the Riot First Order Stormtrooper will release in May.)

Nah... not that fast :lol

Don’t think so, unless it's some bizarre variant.

Most likely January 1st.

It would be nice if they would stop releasing the prequel crap to do more OT stuff already.

Nope, don’t want a single one of those. Even with Obi-Wan I’d rather have the Episode III Version. Boba Fett is like the only OT-figure I’d buy now that RotJ Luke and Vader are already out.

So they can continue doing Prequels, The Force Awakens and maybe even EU for all I care.
