The H.I.S.S. looks amazing and they unveiled a Cobra MMS set to go along with it that also looked pretty awesome.  I saw some marketing shots for Duke and it just looks so well done.

Then I look at the boxes of 25th stuff sitting in my garage and I'm reminded why it may be better to just be a spectator.  LOL.

I am 50/50 on my feelings for this line.  I am 50% sad I did not get in at the beginning, and 50% happy that my wallet hasn't taken the beating from it. 

The new stuff coming soon looks so outstanding.

Cripes.  It's like the took all the worst parts of the 2002 era figures and mashed them up with the5-POA era stuff and ran them through a factory that churns bootlegs.  "Lets take all the things that piss off the diehards and put them in one product."

I think the Lambda-class shuttle is the most likely item from this list.

Relive the worst moment from countless hours of Star Wars media!

I wouldn't take this if they paid me.

And tooling dollars seem to be scarce, so we get more repaints and reissues. 

This is not just with 3 3/4.  As a Black Series helmet collector, the repaints are pretty frustrating.  Potential repaintability definitely factors into their choices.

When was the Skystriker?  Was that already two years ago?

I looked at this last night when there was about 4 hours remaining and they were just above 8K backers.  I almost backed one as this could end up gaining a lot of resale value with such a low run.

Just found an HK Assassin Droid at a small Target.  Didn’t expect that.

I can’t remember, we’re there more than one with this body and paint scheme in the show or is he a one-off?  Wondering if I’m keeping my preorders or
canceling them.

Woah, new show toys at retail within a month of the show ending? What is this black magic *******?

There are definitely multiples. All of the ones in the Nightsister Temple were unique. I'm not sure if that means they all unique though. I plan on keeping a few extras of the basic figure, and fully expect we will see this again in a troop builder pack w/ the alternate decos.
Tangentially related, my daughter loved the Young Jedi show and watched all of it when it came to D+.  She wanted toys but there were none.  Yesterday I was at Wally and I noticed an entire line of figures (and vehicles!!),  Would have been nice to have when she was more into it.

Score!  Jealous!

I don't buy much stuff anymore, but I am all in on a vintage style Qui-Gon and Jar-Jar.

My take is that this is how they explain that we don't see or hear about Ashoka in the ST.  She and Sabine are now off elsewhere to continue their storyline with Baylan and Shin along with the leftover Elsbeth forces.

I was just coming to post that the Trapper helmet is in Ollie's ad that drops today.  I went yesterday but the cashiers wouldn't sell until this morning.  They also have the Marvel Legends Winter Soldier Cap shield for $40 in the ad if you're also into that kind of thing .

Ollies has a whole endcap of retro figures from the BoBF, Obi-Wan and Mandolorian lines.  $4 per.

I am not sure if the Ikea cube shelf I have is a Detolf, but at one point I was displaying a few helmets in one.  The rangefinder on Boba (and I'd imagine the others as well) did not fit, but otherwise it was OK.  Vader was snug against the sides at the very bottom of the helmet. 

I am currently using black metal helmet hangers from Amazon.  Makes them look like they are "floating" on the wall.
