I'm kind of regretting bothering with a second one... does anyone know if it's true that you can cancel an order and get refunded on a Haslab project you already paid for up front?

Per Haslab’s policies you can cancel up to 30 days after the completion of the Haslab funding period…

Cancelling Your Order
If you need to cancel your order, you must do so within 30 days of the completion of the applicable Project Backing Period by contacting our Customer Service Center at CustomerService@HasbroPulse.com.

Amazon is shipping the ROTJ 40 Jedi Luke. It went from a late November shipping date to arriving today. Good looking figure, haven’t opened it yet

I preordered two sets to get a Mon Mothma to open.  Hopefully I can unload the extras or that will be one expensive opener figure.

I’ll take the Royal Guard off you if you sell the rest of the figures individually.

It’s averaging 4-5 per minute, I would think this means they are processing international orders from third parties. Can’t imagine there would otherwise be this many late comers.

Of the 3 you have left to get, Joben and Gundy shouldn’t be too difficult. Wicket possibly, but you knocked out the Fromms and those are likely the most difficult of all to get. You got this.

Great scores over the last couple of weeks Rob. Those Droids figures especially look fantastic!

Wow is that a load of **** right there. They didn’t get the thing made right the first time and scammed so many people. Then they convinced many to wait and now went to another factory which has scammed them? Makes you wonder if they ever went to that second factory in the first place.

Squad building is a far more reasonable approach these days.  When I was looking through some boxes of figures from the 2006 Saga Collection I saw those price tags - $6.99 each.  It made getting 20 of those 212th Clone Troopers a lot more feasible than now.  When TVC launched in 2010 around $10.99 per figure you felt a bit more of a pinch, but it was still feasible.  But now, spending $14.99 or $16.99 per figure?  It's getting crazy.  And I think things are hitting a breaking point.

Case in point - the VC231 Stormtrooper.  That figure should have sold SO MANY units.  But I think that Hasbro might have felt more comfortable with it as a Walmart exclusive on account of the price hikes.  People bought the VC140 Stormtrooper by the case for some time.  But I think we're seeing those kinds of purchases tailing off because it's simply too expensive for collectors to keep doing that.

I agree. I have to agree though, I do get tempted to get one more case of stormies whenever I'm feeling flush with cash.

That’s why the Stormtrooper army builder set at $40 was a great option. At $10 a figure it was easy to buy 8 of those. Now that these types of sets are $60 a pop, it’s hard to justify.

TVC reveals will likely include more repaints. And maybe one all new sculpt we will see next year. Sigh…

I have observed enough of the behavior from both Stan Solo and FSB to keep far away from their products. Instead, when I have an itch to buy a custom figure (instead of making my own), a couple guys on IG - hasnotalent and plastic vomit customs - is where I have gone. Above is PVC’s custom Uzay Head Man and Blue Stars with hasnotalent’s Chrome McQuarrie Stormtrooper (you can see some of his other figures in the back). They are all 3D printed with a lot of attention to detail and high quality paint apps. In the case of the custom Uzays they are designed so you can tell they’re not originals which is a big plus. Definitely worth checking these guys out.

Great looking pickups on the Droids and Ewoks Rob. I’ve been surprised at how high those figures have gone up since I finished my set about a decade ago. I often wonder if I was starting now would I be willing to actually finish.

If you need a coin for that King Gorneesh lmk, I have a spare.

Entertainment Earth is shipping Mara Jade. Mine should be coming next week if it does not get stuck in a DHL distribution center…

The peg area for the landing gear is quite small and with 40 year old plastic prone to warping on load, it’s mostly about risk mitigation.
