First Look: Epic World of Action The Mandalorian & Speeder Bike | Yakface.com

First look at a speeder bike in Epic, including Mando with the 9 POA that I've been suggesting for years, as a compromise between 5 POA and full SA. Curious to see if it drives more interest from consumers. A figure and vehicle for $20 might look better than a TVC figure for $17 to some fans.

I’ll honestly probably pick this up for use as a generic background speeder.

Totally agree about the price. If you’re buying for a kid, especially during Christmas, this is probably a good deal.

Yeah, as a gift giver, this would be more appealing than a single TVC figure, and you get far more playability out of it. With that being said, the best gift for 2024 still has to be the Blurrg set - my favorite item released this year!

My local Ross hasn't sold a single Mandalorian yet from what I can tell. They got them back in September.

Today, a stack of Darth Maul figures arrived to keep him company.

Looks like LFL / Hasbro put together a little Robot Chicken style stop-motion commercial for the N1, sorta awesome, never seen them do this before.

Ross find... I decided at this price, to buy it. I might use the head for a custom someday

What a deal, was everything from Epic & Retro on clearance? I stopped by a Ross and all the SW figures were gone.

Yeah, it was just their TBS and Retro... obviously not much at those prices.

I did pick up a few Epic Hero Stormtroopers at a Walmart the other day for $5 each. I tossed the bodies... just wanted the helmets for a project

wondering if anyone one on here has heard of ross's annual big clearance sale..???

New short, not as thrilling - I think they might be trying to get younger consumers to army build.

Received the Moff Gideon that I ordered from Amazon (under $4), and it doesn't disappoint. Looks great, and feels properly scaled with TVC figures, considering his armor appears bulkier on screen, more so than a Stormtrooper for example. Again, near exactly what a POTF3 figure would be like, if the aesthetic were replicated today - he gives off that early EU vibe, as if he could be in a scene with the clone emperor or the Imperial Sentinels.

Brutus seems pretty tempting for a figure…I’m not sure TVC will get it or not, so I may need to get that one.
