Friends secured me one of these at the show so I can’t wait. Just wish they’d given a heads up because it became a pain to track down for some. People arrived early to go to the park only to find they held this till later.

Another design I really enjoy. Makes a cool looking R2. I tend to pass the hats off to friends who display their droids at the holidays.

I’m curious what droids it will ultimately make… I like their designs generally but there are some I don’t mind skipping. It’d be nice to know what you get before committing to buying.

Love the colors and the general look of the r7 dome. Another must have. I’m a sucker for Disney droids.

Friends secured me one of these. It’s a slick design so I’m happy to get it!

I have a BAD version of this basically so I may skip it. I hate that sculpt generally.

Down for a couple sets but at some point I’d like inquisitors and Kestas if not all the main people haha

I’m down for 5-6 anyway. I’m excited. I’ve been paying $30 for figures from designer lines and this is a pretty snazzy set so I’m ok on all that. It’s a lot beefier than a reg figure and the box is a plus.

Love this set. Love it.
Can’t wait for the “even though they didn’t need to make things more diverse because Star Wars has always been diverse” bull**** storyline to accompany it from a certain site. 🙄
I’m hoping for Hoth Troopers and Endor Troopers too. The new sculpting really gives me hope for the Endor guys being diverse designs.
I’d take new snow troopers too if they had some mix to them I think.

There are some nice 3D resin prints of the ball speeder out there too. 3rd party stuff is nicely taking off since printing is becoming lesss difficult/expensive.
My buddy got a printer and is already printing a really nice Jabba palace that’s huge.

Wow that is ass.
Retro Blasting is too a lot of the time but he’s not wrong at all. He’s even being kind since you can tell that’s all resin. It’s not even good resin casting as it’s done with single part molding (thus the big flat shiny parts) to save money.
That’s a shame. I’m not gonna say that it’s not that much resin in terms of cost, as it’s big, but it’s not super high quality. 😕

I’m with Jeff. This is a big commitment publicly. It’s done, stick a fork in it.

What Nick said… I think flipping fever overtook people and many bought more than one to flip based on the Barge. I don’t think it’s a bad idea yet at all, but I also don’t think it’s gonna rebound super fast. The Barge was unique being the first in the experiment.
I think, as time rolls on, it’ll steadily accrue value as people get into the hobby that weren’t there. It’s just not gonna skyrocket.
