Thanks so much! Yes I am hopeful to still see The Stranger in the Black Series and TVC lines in the future - Hasbro did release the Black Series helmet for pre-order ⭐

Thanks so much! 😃

The Marauder shuttle is one of the biggest vehicles from this line in our collection, I really like it - and Michelle Ang/Omega from The Bad Batch was just lovely in person! 😃

Thanks! I think it looks great out of the box, I can see the details on the darker sections better ⭐

It really is fantastic! 😃

Thanks so much ⭐

Thanks so much! ⭐

Wow, seven! That's a pretty cool Dark Trooper Squad! We haven't started army building in the Black Series line yet, but this Dark Trooper is certainly one that would be awesome to build a scene with 😃

Sounds like a interesting idea, that could look nice. I think Shin Hati's hair could do with just a little extra paint detailing ⭐

Yeah, an unfortunate flaw with the removable blades - I wish Hasbro would just include a hilt with attachment peg and a full lightsaber with fixed blade (and no attachment peg) ⭐

We very much like Ahsoka's shuttle, but unfortunately that Hot Wheels starship isn't available in our country yet. As soon as it is, we'll be sure to unbox it here! 😃

@@VillaVarykino in my country neither:(

Thanks so much! 😃

Thanks so much! I know that Imperial Officers aren't as 'actiony' as figures with lightsabers and blasters, but they're so important to Star Wars, and I really love the ISB scenes in Andor, can't wait for more Dedra Meero in season 2! 😃

@@VillaVarykino Yeah, I think the ISB are really going to go hard in Andor 2. And with Krennic there as well. It's going to be a wild ride. Just wish there was going to be three seasons but they are dragging their heels so I guess it's best to wrap it up...

Thanks so much. 😀 We are in New Zealand.

@@VillaVarykino oo neighbours! I'm in Australia. Do you guys get any of the latest Micro Galaxy Squadron stocked there?

@@8BitPasta We had good success with finding Series 5 locally here in NZ (including chase/rares), but nothing since (there are rumors the distributors aren't bringing any more into NZ). Hoping to find a good stockist/retailer in Australia to buy from that can ship to NZ, but our only chances for chase/rares will be resellers.

@@VillaVarykino yeah, I think Australia is in a similar situation. After series 1, the major retailers didn't stock them anymore. I'm still looking.

Thanks so much! Personally I love Star Wars packaging, so I see it as an important part of the collectible, and enjoy talking about the details 😃

Thanks so much - we really enjoyed our recent rewatch of Ahsoka. Of course we all want Star Wars figures to be affordable, but personally I don't mind if Hasbro makes a profit - modern companies want reasonable profits to keep producing a line or else they cancel it (like Star Wars X-Wing and Armada that were cancelled). I want Star Wars toys to be made for the rest of my life and beyond, so I want/need Hasbro to make money on Star Wars toys. I do agree that Hasbro cuts corners where they shouldn't, but I personally don't mind the lack of accessories with Morgan Elsbeth, Mon Mothma, and others like them ⭐

Thanks so much - this one was definitely an adventure! I do wish the figure felt firmer, made with harder plastic. I do have the Black Series Dark Trooper around here somewhere, I should unbox that one and see if that's better ⭐

Thanks! I can't wait for the next Shin Hati and Baylan Skoll figures (with cloaks). They will be in the new style Black Series packaging as well, so I'm already considering getting two of each - keep a pair boxed and a pair to open! 😃

She was so lovely to meet in person, she spent ages talking with the fans ⭐

We had a really great Star Wars weekend at Armageddon Expo 😃

Thanks! Yeah, we preordered ours from EB Games NZ - so happy to have a local stockist! We have started doing a stocktake of our Cantina figures, but we think we're unfortunately missing a few - really hoping Hasbro releases some of the rarer ones in the coming year 🤞

@@VillaVarykino The one thing I overlooked were Jawas. They were inside the cantina as well and I don't have any. I did once but don't know where they've gone. I'm confident that Hasbro will come to the party with some good upgrades. My number one wish is for an Akmena figure but I think that's a stretch. Some human patrons would be good. Although it was never my intention to over populate. I think that would hide too much detail. But I'm going to etch a stone floor and wire my own lighting. I'm thinking about displaying the full cantina on a slowly rotating table.

Your display concepts sound great - once it's full of characters, you'll definitely need/want to be able to see it from all angles. And yes, some Holiday Special characters like Bea Arthur as Ackmena would be very fun, even if a little niche.

You are so welcome! We make videos across a wide range from our collection - what lines do you focus on collecting?

Nice score on the AOTC AT-TE! No sign of that one here in New Zealand yet (no Target stores here, sadly). We will probably have to order it from overseas, I really like that one! ⭐

Thanks! We always spot a few Black Series figures at Armageddon, have to hunt a bit around the stands - most often at the comic book dealers and Cameron Percy/Retro Nerds booth ⭐

Awesome! Glad to hear it is arriving at stores now, we are hoping to find it here in New Zealand soon! 😃

Thanks so much! ⭐

Thanks! Yes, we love the upcoming TVC blurrg, we want at least two for our collection! 😃

@@VillaVarykino that amazing iwish they would bring out a bantha or a reek keep collecting villa varykino 👍🏻🇬🇧👍🏻❤️🖤

Thanks so much 😃

Thanks - we always love Star Wars 🌟

Thanks! Yes - we did see Hasbro's promotional images of the TVC Blurrg - we need at least two, we love the creatures of Star Wars ⭐

Thanks! I tried to be selective with Funko Pop! Vinyl figures, but I got hooked! Still lots we are missing, but we both love the Probe Droid so this one was a must-have 😃

Thanks so much! ⭐

Hi - we have included links in the video description to a couple of different online stores (Entertainment Earth and Amazon) where you can preorder most of the new figures already :)

Some really fun new figures in the upcoming lineup - Prince Xizor was an unexpected announcement, makes me hopeful for other Expanded Universe characters 😃

Yes, you may be right in terms of production timelines and the info that Hasbro had on hand. :)

Thanks! ⭐

It's looking like you may be right, with Vernestra and Bazil officially slated for 2025, and no solid confirmation on Qimir/The Stranger yet.

Yes, the sandcrawler is all metal, except for the small plastic wheels on the underside (not very visible when displayed) ⭐

@@VillaVarykino awesome 🤩

Thanks so much! ⭐

I really like the design of the High Republic era Jedi robes - it is a little odd that the hoods are stitched down, I wasn't expecting that, but honestly, I quite like the smooth hood-down look over the shoulders ⭐

Yes, I really liked Master Indara from the trailers, but we did get more of her in the flashback scenes ⭐

Hi - currently the numbering for standard releases goes up to 28 (not counting convention exclusives, prototype variants, or battle-damaged variants). Numbers 26-28 are very recent and aren't available everywhere yet. Good luck with your collecting! 28 Carson Teva's X-Wing 27 Ahsoka Tano's T-6 26 Naboo Starfighter 25 Sandcrawler 24 Gauntlet 23 Scythe 22 Anakin Skywalker's Jedi Interceptor 21 Ghost 20 Sith Infiltrator 19 A-Wing Fighter 18 X-Wing Fighter (Red 3) 17 The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter 16 TIE Interceptor 15 AT-AT 14 First Order TIE Fighter 13 Resistance X-Wing Starfighter 12 Republic Gunship 11 Snowspeeder 10 Star Destroyer 09 Jango Fett's Starship 08 Imperial Shuttle 07 Millennium Falcon 06 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter 05 Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Interceptor 04 Razor Crest 03 Boba Fett's Starship 02 TIE Fighter 01 X-Wing Fighter (Red 5)

Thanks! I loved the Grand Inquisitor from Rebels, it was so cool to see the character in a live action series! 😃

Thanks! ⭐
