Smuggler's Bounty - A New Hope 40th Anniversary

[treswright]

just totally confused why the wearable item was added, it wasn't necessary.

On the video Cameron and Yoko tried explaining that since it's the 40th anniversary they wanted to put something from that era in the box. Cameron said something like "everyone wore these in the 70's" so they felt it was appropriate to include. I was a teen in the 70's and I don't really remember them ever being a popular fashion accessory, but I do remember a certain type of weirdos wearing them along with tank-tops, leg warmers and super short shorts as kind of a strange "gym fashion" statement. I think they wanted you to believe they were going to or coming home from the gym all the time. Anyway I agree, it was a misfire to put those in the box.

The speeder made the box IMO...I'm pretty sure I'll find some use for the shakers at some point ...the wristbands I'll probably never use

I haven't gotten or seen my box yet but if there are wristbands that are useable and can handle some real sweat I'll use them when I play gigs! Not a wasted item on me....like the socks that could only be worn once...

[angrykoalagear]

Going to be rocking the wristbands at Fundays!

[HowardTheDuck]

Honestly I can't be mad because LOOK AT THAT SPEEDER! But the other stuff could've been better. I might wear the bands though from time to time.

[dad2my3]

The only truly useless item I've received so far were the socks that were too small for my size thirteen feet, but this will give the socks a run for their money.

[newhousebailey]

I personally am excited to get this one. It isn't everything I hoped it would be (sorry ), but it is a good overall box. Thoughts below.

Spoiler: show

I love the salt and pepper shaker and will no doubt get use out of the sweat bands, but really wanted something Leia since it seemed they were hinting at that.

[synergy56]

I love the speeder. Love it. With the way they've been hitting the contents for this box out of the park I guess I was maybe expecting a little too much. It is unrealistic to expect my socks to get blown off from every box. So I will admit to a bit of disappointment about the other contents of the box. I won't get any use out of them but that is fine - because that speeder is so awesome. Trying to manage my expectations a little more in the future since I had a run of quite a few of the Smuggler's Bounty boxes that were so perfect for me. Convincing myself I will fall back in love with the box with the next one...though I am currently not thrilled about the theme. Which is actually good since I will have low expectations and can be happily surprised

Totally agree with that. Same sentiments exactly. But I ponder that...

Spoiler: show

Maybe the turn around for a different Leia figure after her death was too fast. December to now? It could have worked or maybe switch the SWC pop out to include in the box. And ya the box had her art on it. That said maybe they'll redeem themselves for SDCC

[Mawhonic7]

I actually like the salt and pepper shakers. The sweat bands will be a wait and see. I really was hoping for a retro Pop! Star Wars tee. I think that would have been amazing.

[Treblemdk]

I usually don't watch the videos but seeing the comments, I did. Definitely an item to fill the "wearable". The other items are so awesome though!! You can wear those for Halloween or something

That is a very good point.

Spoiler: show

It wouldn't make sense to have the SWC pop inside, though. It's based off of her appearance in ESB, and that would break the theme of the box. Sorry for being a big nerd.

[skillawashere]

Speeder is awesome, the rest of the box... meh. The other items will be given out as gifts to others

This year for Secret Santa everyone gets some salt and pepper shakers!!

[comic book guy]

Just watched the video. The pop deluxe is awesome and makes it all well worth it.

It would have been cool to have something related to Leia.

The wearable is not very good. Are there a lot of people that would actually wear those today? A 40th shirt would have been awesome!

But the coolest thing by far in that video is Cameron's jacket. That jacket is sweet!

You out nerded me! Jk no really ya good point. So scratch that. But still it was probably too small a window to go from idea to mass production of a different figure after her death. Going off of 40th theme for ANH what outfits hasnt she been in in Pop Form yet?

[Lobstercrossing]

Going to be rocking the wristbands at Fundays!

good idea! I'll definitely have some of my smuggler's bounty shirts in con rotation

They haven't done the outfit she wore at the end in the big ceremony. I'd love it if we could get one to match our Han and Luke from that very scene.

yes! Great idea. Im guessing theyre holding that one back for something special

[treswright]

Looks like mine is set to arrive Tuesday, but the boxes usually arrive a day or two early so probably Monday.

[dadajair]

For the value we paid for the sub box the deluxe pop was well worth it by itself. Although, a shirt would of made me order two. Maybe if they don't sell out and offer a discount for past boxes I'll pick up another just in case I need a cuddle buddy... Lol

[eljefe81]

Mine says Tuesday as well, but they usually wind up a day or two later, so I'm guessing Wednesday

[conventiongeek]

Oh, I'm pretty sure that i need this box. Love Star Wars, but the 40th Anniversary has a great ring to it!

[HowardTheDuck]

My Predictions:

Patch: General Grievous
Pin: R2-D2
Pop: Droideka, Super Battle Droid, R5-D5 (the red astromech), Magno Guard
Shirt: BB-8 rolling on Jakku

I hope this box has something Grievous in it. I'll take anything.

[Treblemdk]

Mine arrived at my local post office this afternoon so will be here tomorrow

[dad2my3]

Mine arrived at the local post office yesterday but is not scheduled for delivery until Monday. Not sure why.

[Cnd pops RN]

I cannot wait for my box

[racheva]

This box was a real mix of hit and miss for me. I did get it early, which was a nice surprise.

Spoiler: show

Luke on his speeder was obviously the highlight and well worth the price, as everyone else has said. The salt and pepper shakers were a surprise, but super cute. I would use them, but they look like they'd be a pain to fill and clean, and I like to grind my pepper. I did put them on the window sill in the kitchen with my other pop mugs, so I'm not too upset about them. As for the wristbands...total fail. They're obvious filler, which I get considering the cost of the rest, but they don't even look like they're Funko. They're just generic wristbands you'd get at any random store. They don't make sense to me at all. My personal choice is always a shirt, but I get that it's more expensive. A lanyard would have been a better choice, cheaper to make, and actually Funko related.

And weirdly, I didn't get a card for the next theme or one that explains how they made the box.

Yeah I didn't get one in mine either. I've gotten used to reading those neat little factoids with every box.

[powderkid28]

Spoiler: show

Worst part of the shakers is greedo isn't even the right color...yeah I'm irritated.

[Guneagle01]

pretty disappointing, the speeder is cool, but the rest was junk

[xbox_jeff]

How are you not sure why? A one day turn around for USPS to deliver something is not bad. Not sure if you expected them to drone it to your house immediately on a weekend...

[eljefe81]

Spoiler: show

Seems like I may be in the minority, but I actually like the salt and pepper shakers. I didn't watch the video, so I was expecting them to be smaller, but they are just about Pop sized (if not actual Pop size, I haven't measured). I convinced my fiancé to let me use them for the month of May each year, since that includes Star Wars day and my birthday. The sweatbands are filler, but after a Pop Deluxe and a pretty sweet salt and pepper shaker set, I'm not complaining. And I may just use them at the gym.

[allcutethings2]

I was a little disappointed in this box. The deluxe made it worth it for me, would've ordered for that alone. I like the patch and pin. But the other two items, particularly the wearable, just don't do anything for me. I'll probably display the set in the kitchen, but the wearable just seems like the fluff they advertise they won't use. I can't see that many people using them.

[edmomo]

Too bad it wasn't another mug. I've been having great success with those lately in flushing out the succulent garden on my balcony. And by my success I mean my gf. I'd kill them in an instant.

[Moepops]

I still need to open my Luke with speeder box. Leia in ceremonie dress would be perfect

[HowardTheDuck]

Mine just showed up! I love this Speeder!

[Libertyroxx]

I also didn't get one. Did they just not do one this time??

Also, the Landspeeder is so incredible. Absolutely love it

[eljefe81]

I was just thinking this morning that I didn't remember seeing one in mine, so I'm thinking they must have ditched it this time? Wonder if it will be a one time omission, or if they decided to scrap that idea. I hope they bring it back, they were a cool little read, and the kids loved it when I gave them to them
