I'm a little shocked we never got an official ten forward play set.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Just stumbled over this offer on a German online flea market, and I don't think the "OVP" ("Originalverpackt", meaning mint-in-package) is genuine:

 

[cooleddie74]

That does look like some extremely suspect and wonky packaging.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

That "Baby Godzilla" looks very mature for her age.

 

[Kor]

Hmm... yes, in the 1998 GINO ("Godzilla in name only") movie, the baby creatures weren't shaped exactly like the big one. I see a couple examples of this product online that have the correct creature in that package, and it's also supposed to include a remote control. So in your example, somebody must have switched it out at some point, or it was originally a mispack at the factory.

The Disney Parks Droid Factory line has also released an articulated B2-EM0 from Andor at a time when the only Hasbro version of the character that anyone can get is the overpriced 6" Black Series version. It's solid, and a friend who has the Disney figure of 4-LOM says it's even better than the Hasbro 4-LOM figures released over the years.

I just got the Disney 4-LOM figure, and I can confirm that it's a very good figure!

Probably the former, as it is also a Trendmasters figure in a Toy Biz box.

My current pre-orders. Really can't wait to see that Blondie in person.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

If I had deeper pockets, I'd totally get that Blondie figure.

And this one:

Found this album on Imgur, thought I'd share.

Just another awesome retro toy shop I'll probably never get to visit.

 

[publiusr]

Sigh.

I did scrape up my pennies to get this:

A pair of pliers took care of the figure..so I have a nice spaceship that is no longer a convertible.

Rebel Blockade runner…for figures

Love seeing creativity like this. There is a Hammerhead corvette I saw on Deviant Art that was 3d printed and designed similarly to the Kenner ship ideas. It wasn't as big as this though... O_O

 

[Kor]

That's pretty impressive. The blockade runner is on eBay already, for $599.99, plus $256.35 for shipping. Oof.

I wasn't planning on getting into Star Wars toys any time soon, but damn, these look enticing:

I've seen it called one of the best Falcons out there, especially for the price.

 

[Kor]

Yes, pretty accurate in scale, size and proportions, or at least that's the general aim. That's not really feasible in 1:18 scale (for the 3.75" action figures) as the Millennium Falcon would end up being five and a half feet long, and quite heavy, and prohibitively expensive. Basically a 1 to 1 copy of the first filming model. And of course, the interior is a whole 'nother matter, as it's been demonstrated that the ship must be a TARDIS or something, as all the interior sets that have been depicted couldn't fit within the exterior as portrayed.

Edit: I did some digging, and one site did some measuring of the Micro Galaxy Squadron ships and found that they are not actually all in 1:72 scale like the little figures that come with them. The bigger ships are still smaller than they should be. Overall, the line gives a 'suggestion of scale' when putting the different ships together. Source: https://www.rebelscale.com/scale-lists/micro-galaxy-squadron/

Bandai's 1:72 scale Millennium Falcon is about 19 inches (48 cm) long, while the Micro Galaxy Squadron Falcon is about 10 inches (25.5 cm) long.

The X-Wing has the little figures close to the size of the Buzz Lightyear ships---which actually make the X-wing look pretty wimpy in a side by side.
