That is a pretty sweet deal.  If I didn't already have piles of speederbikes I'd probably get more.  I'm also assuming this will get re-released with Endor Luke, Leia, Ewok, etc.

It does seem odd, unless Disney doesn't fully own it, but I assumed Disney fully owned it. 

I always got the sense that Disney was working to make D+ a perpetual, full catalog of their content, and that was part of the reason why they were issuing very few DVDs of their new content.

Why can't the Star Wars team actually offer what we want?

Because they're morons?  Or was this question meant to be rhetorical?

They've just made some bad choices.  They could pick just about anything in the 3.75" scale, especially OT things, and it would fund immediately.  Look at the barge and Razor Crest.  Both funded very quickly with I think the Razor Crest funded in a day. 

Anything outside of 3.75" is a risky bet and you would need to do something spot on and not something that kinda weak and not providing value.  Reva's saber was just weak and the Rancor offered way too little value.

If that show is going to be any good, two things need to happen IMO. 

1) Don’t let Robert Rodriguez anywhere near it.
2) Get back to Boba Fett’s roots.  Go be a badass bounty hunter instead of a local crime lord who “rules with respect.”


If they can't follow the above guidelines they should just keep any Season 2 concepts buried in a Sarlacc Pit.

Well of the Souls / Re: Hasbro 2023 Indiana Jones Retro Collection

My TLC Indy just arrived from Amazon.  I got the right figure, but the bubble was totally detached from the card.  Luckily none of the accessories were lost from the tray. 

Amazon has got to pack these a little better, and Hasbro needs to not be so cheap on their packaging design.  It reminds me of The Black Series 3.75" figures where the bubbles would just fall off the card.

I just noticed that Young Indiana Jones got added to Disney+.  Not sure when that happened, but I'm pretty stoked to have those added to the catalog.

Got my Hunter from Amazon today.

Still on the hunt for a Phase 2 Clone Trooper and Starkiller.  I don't believe these have showed up on Amazon yet, although I know this wave has started to hit Target.

As for ditching stuff... 3.75" Star Wars will be the last to go for me.  If I sell those, it means I straight up quit collecting.

If I decide to keep pairing down, Gentle Giant Mini-Busts are on the chopping block next.  The costs have gone up dramatically, and the sculpt quality has gone down dramatically (on some of them at least... some look great still).

Totally agree on both counts. 

I had about 75 mini-busts.  I kept my favorite 15 and sold the rest earlier this year, most for a fairly handsome profit.

I am certainly enjoying this new part of the hobby since I've quit buying most stuff.  Really down to Hallmark ornaments, books and comics, retro collection, and these types of custom vintage stuff.    I'm really considering ditching Hallmark as well due to the cost and the fact they go on the tree for one year then get packed away.

Wrong thread, I know. 

I cleared all my Hallmark ornaments out over the last two Christmases on eBay.  I had nearly all of them from the first 15 years that they were issued.  I probably broke even or made a little profit on selling them, so if you make the decision to simplify hopefully you'll break even.

Rome... Punisher... he'll be in Ahsoka soon...

I wonder how they’ll handle it on the show? (Assuming his character survives season 1.)

Time for a quick re-write if necessary...

Also, Tina Turner.  She rocked, and was pretty sweet in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Got my Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) today from Amazon.  Not only does he have the wrong boots like so many others have mentioned, but I love the fact that they couldn't even be bothered to toss in the gun he's using on the cardback and cheaped out with just the tiny pistol accessory. 

This doesn't make any sense.  Why wouldn't they put in a regular imperial blaster?  Seems like they gave a summer intern the project for kitbashing this and the final quality control.  Weak effort on this one.

I was still tempted to go at some point, but the price and duration is tough.   Two full days seems a little long. 

I guess others felt the same way about the value if they’re closing so soon.

There was also a second Mandalorian poster that was ever so briefly available a few weeks back during Celebration.  I had to track my copy down from eBay.
