Star Wars Black Series Hoth Trooper - Goodness in a Time of Crisis
I was excited as soon as I heard the announcement. I was more excited it would come with additional faces to add some different troops. Then surfing the forums one night, someone said DorksideToys was selling them in cases of five. Never shopped there before but placed my order. A few days later they showed up. Hoth was always my favorite story arc and I loved the Hoth Troopers immediately.

Star Wars - Rogue One - Quarantine Movie and Toy Review
May the 4th Be With You!
I loved this movie. We'll get to that in a moment.
Right now - current ranking of all Star Wars movies chronologically until now.
1. Rogue One
2. Solo
3. Attack of the Clones
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. Phantom Menace
What I Liked:
Everything. Seriously, every time I watch Rogue One, I wonder whether this could ever overtake Empire Strikes Back.
1. Loved the characters - Jyn, Cassian, Bodhi, Maze, Chirut - I rooted for all of them.
2. K2SO - one of the funniest "characters" in the franchise.
3. Saw Guerrera - would liked to have seen more of him.
4. Director Krennic - one of the most vile bad guys in the franchise
5. Jedha
6. The raid on Scarif
7. The fleet joins the fray above Scarif
8. AT-ATs
9. The Hammerhead Corvette smashing one star destroyer into the other - BRILLIANT!!!
10. Vader cutting through the rebels at the end. That is the Vader I always wanted to see.
11. Everyone dies - I was shocked. Couldn't believe it. It was so emotional I couldn't believe what I was seeing. When you bought into the characters...there demise was all the harder.
12. Toy wise we got a decent selection of 6 inch and 3-3/4 inch characters.
13. Easter eggs - Probe Droid, Walrus Man, Scout Walkers, Red 5, footage used from A New Hope.
14. Tarkin and Leia - tastefully done
15. Blue Squadron
What I didn't like:
1. I liked that Walrus Man and Dr. Evanan were on Jedha, but they really didn't need to say any lines. A bump in the shoulder would have been enough.
2. That last wave of figures could not be found easily at retail. Hasbro really needs to fix their distribution or the big boxes need to help. Glad they released Galen Erso, Bodhi, Saw, Admiral Raddus, Jyn in disguise. Had to order online.
3. More rebel troops from Scarif - 3-3/4 and 6 inch.
4. Whatever that big wooly white Moroff character was - wish they would have used him more. He looked awesome. Great figure as well.
