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.

A bunch of new ones from the past couple of weeks.  Visions 2, Young Jedi Adventures, and Ahsoka teaser.   I got the Ahsoka one, but am passing on the others for now.

Just got a shipping notice from Amazon for Piett

Style wise?  The colors are pretty bold.  My own preference would have been to use those colors for each droid, but in more of the "used universe" style that we're so accustomed to.  But I think the designers wanted to go bold for Pride.  I can't fault them for that at all.

Agreed.  I'm not sure I can mix these in with my Jawa droid lot of droids as they don't aesthetically fit.  Not sure exactly where I'll put these yet.

I got a shipping notice for this and the six pack of rainbow droids already.

Nobody has found this yet, have they?

Yeah, these seem pretty expensive for what they are.

Thanks for posting.  Still looking for that Clone Trooper and Starkiller (repack).
