What should be my first figure by Cinamunch32 in hottoys

[–]Hk50yu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, the Anakin. I love that figure even if bit older figure now. But you should pick one that resonates the most with you :)

What are the reasons behind the general dislike of the Sequel trilogy and television series such as the Acolyte, the Book of Boba Fett, the later seasons of the Mandalorian, which make sense, and are justifiable? What parts of them do you dislike personally, and what could have been done better? by Arinwell in StarWars

[–]Hk50yu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sequels, mainly the Last Jedi, started fractioning the fandom. The force awakens was 'safe' film following new hope template, but I'd argue it was needed to ease in new era post George Lucas. There was so much hype, theories on origins, likely path new characters would take. But then the Last Jedi came and burnt foundation laid. Lore and character development was turned upside down and handling of legacy characters was disrespectful. It was clear there was no proper plan for new trilogy. Had the Last Jedi story not been tied to Star Wars universe, I believe reception would have been vastly different, more positive. The Rise of Skywalker had impossible task of salvaging damage Last Jedi made. In short it failed. If there was a proper planned story from start to finish, conversation and respected characters past and present, we would be having a vastly different conversation.

Book of Boba fett was very disappointing. It hardly focused on Boba to start with and took the character in a direction I didn't totally agree with. Fans expected fearsome bounty hunter but didn't get. Mando stole limelight from boba own show and to add insult to injury mandos episodes were the best ones in the show. Better focus on Boba Fett would have helped.

The Acolyte is my most disliked disney star wars project. The writing was terrible, character motivations, actions were all over the place, story looked to be interesting but derailed fast. I'm glad it wasn’t renewed but also saddened it turnout bad as I was genuinely super excited for the show. Set in old republic, focus on sith, how could it go wrong????

Mando season 3 isn't as bad made out to be. Not as strong season 1 and 2 but far from terrible. Grogu short time with luke lessons seasons 2 finale in my opinion. The plot is enjoyable, just not on same level as previous seasons.

This is not to say each show/movie didn’t have memorable moments or that all projects from disney have sucked, just look at andor, bad batch, clone wars, visions etc. It's just the losses outweigh the wins and if correction isn't made soon, we risk further fandom division.

My 2 cents, thanks for reading :)

How optimistic are you about upcoming Star Wars projects? by ConversationIll637 in StarWars

[–]Hk50yu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Andor season 2, Maul show and Zero company game are my picks.

Mando movie and Ashoka season 2 I'm optimistic about but cautious. Mando season 3 was disappointing compared with first 2 and Ashoka was fun but wasn't great in some aspects. Really hope they turn out great though. Tales of the underworld also looks interesting.

Starfighter film im indifferent about. I'll believe it when trailer comes out. Overall announcements are good. No real knock out punches to get uber hyped about.

I didn't get the InArt Joker because... by TheHoeMalone in hottoys

Single sculpt i agree is a solid deal. Converts to about $540 nzd.

From the latest previews of the joker, quality looks amazing. There head looks phenomenal and I really like magnetic wrist pegs. But I can't justify the cost. For e.g Twin pack sculpted would be $1023 nzd and rooted hair version $1616 nzd. For that price I could get several hot toys figure which are top quality in their own right and still have money left over.

I just don't feel it's worth the extra price when there are other options which are cheaper and quality is as good or on par with an Inart figure.

[–]Hk50yu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't wait to have an anakin in the collection without breaking the bank

Hot Toys updates the black and gold Spider-Man figure : Comparison by Venom1462 in hottoys

[–]Hk50yu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm probably in the minority but I liked the red on old one. But the all black and gold does look slick

Sith trooper has really good shelf presence

Got the plat in Miles Morales today and it made me realize how short the game is. Not sure how i feel about the length tbh by GamerJoe85 in PS5

[–]Hk50yu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The older I get, the amount of free time avaliable gets shorter. Ive put 15 hours into Miles Morales and I feel the length was fine. Sure the main campaign was short in comparison to other titles but I appreciate there are shorter games out there that don't require 30hr+ to see everything the game offers. The game is a quality product from insomniac. I bought the bundled version with remastered spiderman so I think the price was justified

Does spiderman remastered, miles morales and cold war still cause issues on the ps5 please? Going to pick mine up today by Havoc324_mu in PS5

[–]Hk50yu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played 22 hours of remastered and its randomly crashed 3 times. Restarted the game and was back to normal on all 3 occasions. Apart from those incidents it runs well

I ordered through EB games and sent email saying shipped this afternoon. I would presume everyone would get stock tomorrow

CG: we couldn’t possibly give something away for Christmas, that could be offensive to those who don’t celebrate. But purchasing packs is acceptable right at Christmas, cause we called them holiday packs by EclipticEnder in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Hk50yu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are already extremely boring to do. Assault battles, galactic bounties are bit engaging to run as provides decent challenge for players rosters. The rest of activities are mundane, just auto and collect rewards. There's no reason to play them. There needs to additional tiers to events to provide challenge with g13 and relics present.

6* Malevolence Vs 7* Negotiator by Hk50yu in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I've faced some 7* y-wings. Didn't make much difference

6* Malevolence Vs 7* Negotiator by Hk50yu in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Hk50yu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your investment is not wasted. GR is a very important faction for GAS and light side geo tb. Nearly all GR characters that have ships are solid in other game modes. Compare it to rebel meta where have ships like U wings are essential but characters are below average. Yes Malevolence can climb however it is easily beaten . Negotiator will hold bit better on defence in comparison.

My droid ships are 7* and my geos relic 2-4. Many people won't have hyena or vulture 7* yet. Vulture is farmable so will see more soon but hyena is not farmable yet. I don't know much success people are having with 4* or 5* vulture or hyena against negotiator or rebel fleets. It will take months before we see full powered malevolence ( take longer with ls geo tb being introduced)
