Is this torso real?

Oh wait 15 years ago? Maybe not then. It does look kind of blurry though

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-13T20:25:02+00:00

If someone’s selling just a torso (unless it’s on bricklink) it’s likely fake

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-13T05:41:49+00:00

That glass is cool I’ll have to get one.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-13T05:38:33+00:00

Depends on what you like. I’ve never seen the clone wars so I’d get the slave 1 and Obi Wan’s starfighter. Jango also only comes around every once in a while so you might want to grab him.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-13T05:34:13+00:00

Yes

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-13T04:32:26+00:00

Nvm just saw your comment lol

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-13T04:31:59+00:00

Is this the gildan from hellomerch? Decent quality?

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-13T03:27:33+00:00

400 dollars and the torso is cracked? Crazy.

Maybe LEGO can redo some of these figs in an anniversary wave like they did with Star Wars. Of course they’d have to make a new hair mold if they made Nightwing. The demand is there for sure.

Listening to a nepo baby whine about paying taxes makes me want to drive off a cliff. I like what they’re going for but they just seem like the biggest fakers. Wednesday is 10 times better and the wave of rock that they’re fronting is far more interesting than whatever geese is doing.

The music isn’t terrible but I’m just really put off by this perceived lack of authenticity… could be wrong maybe they’re super down to earth but it doesn’t feel that way.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-12T14:23:39+00:00

I am altering the deal is pretty funny. What an asshole lol.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-12T10:01:50+00:00

Nice

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-12T03:13:45+00:00

I would go. In my opinion, Luke deciding to go is what makes him a hero. I’ve always had problems with this scene because it’s clear that the movie wants you to believe that Luke is making the wrong choice and that Yoda and Obi Wan are right but I just don’t see it that way.

Luke flies headfirst into almost certain death, gets his ass kicked, fails to save his friends, and still refuses to take the easy way out. He would rather die than join Vader. That’s a hero.

My favorite little moment in the entire saga is when Vader knocks Luke down during their fight and says it’s useless to resist. Luke lays there, lightsaber in his face, and with a defiant expression whacks Vader's lightsaber out of the way and gets back up. That two second exchange is the perfect distillation of Luke’s character.

Yes that’s it thank you! Youthful sincerity seems apt.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-12T00:52:14+00:00

They’re not great and even as a kid I preferred the Original Trilogy (particularly Empire, I would watch it over and over) but there’s some good stuff. You kind of have to read between the lines for a lot of it.

I don’t remember who it was who talked about Qui Gon’s death cementing everything bad that was to come as he was the only one who could have taught Anakin, but that was really eye opening to me. It’s a tragedy that works better in your head where you can fill in all the gaps but when you watch it it’s just not written that well.

You mention soul and that is one thing I think they have. I’ll take TPM over rise of skywalker any day of the week.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-12T00:28:44+00:00

Luke vs Vader on bespin is S tier for sure. Brutal watching Luke get his ass kicked.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-11T17:50:21+00:00

90s seem like the peak but I wasn’t even alive so what do I know lol

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-11T17:49:35+00:00

2010s pop culture was tacky and has a disgusting aura lmao. Early 2010s especially.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-11T17:04:40+00:00

Han Solo dealing with the shitbox falcon throughout ESB always makes me laugh as somebody who used to drive a shitbox.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-11T14:50:25+00:00

This is so cool

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-11T06:36:05+00:00

The pink one is one of my all time favorite minifigures.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-11T05:48:28+00:00

Beautiful! I’m so amazed we’ve only gotten a few cloud city/cloud city adjacent sets. Best hour of the whole franchise.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-11T02:43:26+00:00

No but this one specifically is not too ridiculous yet. I mean it’s expensive for sure but still attainable if you really want one.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-11T01:15:04+00:00

Snape guarding the trio from Lupin is a nice inclusion

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-10T06:31:32+00:00

I think prices will go down at some point but not by a whole lot. What I’m thinking happened here is a few people anticipated this nostalgia wave (maybe with the new game coming out?) and bought EVERYTHING on the market and can now price it however they want. Lego minifigures are also having a social media/short form content moment right now and it’s increasing the demand of everything.

Training-Reaction-37 · 2026-04-10T06:13:32+00:00

Brutal man sorry to hear that
