Germany is where Germans come from.
Its also the place where Star Wars Celebration Europe was held this year, and we were there. (You may have read about it.) For years, ive always wanted a Han Solo figure, and the Hasbro booth at Celebration just so happened to have a particularly awesome 6″ Black Series Solo on display. Naturally, with my stupid confusing funny-coloured Euros in my hand, I bounded over to the booth to buy one. But my hard earned, yet poorly exchange-rated cash was rejected.
“Rejected?!” I hear you all cry through the internet, “But why, Saxon, why?!” Well, It seems that they were all just demonstration figures. Fortunately they did happen to be selling a rare exclusive – a Boba Fett AND Han Solo set! Fair enough, Han is covered in Carbonite, but a Solo is still a Solo. So I picked one up. Below is the review – what do I make of it? Will I recommend it? Does it give me hope for the new Black Series figures to come? Watch the video to find out, but I will say this;
Germany may be where Germans come from – but a damn good Star Wars figure came from there too.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
