2024 TVC Blurrg & The Mandalorian

[Matt_Fury]

I'm down for three!

[Jeff]

Pre-order tomorrow, 5pm ET, Fan Channel and Amazon -

TVC Blurrg with VC335 The Mandalorian (Arvala-7)

[Ryan]

I love him. Almost no complaints with this one. I would have taken added rocker ankles to the Mando pack-in, but I am primarily buying this for the Blurgg. I think I will start with three, and if they ever really a second with Kuill, I can repurpose one or two to an Endor display.

It is GREAT to have beasts back in the line. Hopefully, some new Banthas & Dewbacks will follow this in the next two years.

That $25 can't possibly be right (the press release says $40).  I grabbed two at $25 as that seems like a nice deal without having to wait for clearance.

edit:
I must have gotten my orders in just under the wire - as of 3pm CT the Blurrg is now at the correct $39.99 price.

DAMN.  I had a timer set but didn't bother running up right away to get them.

I ordered mine around 1:30p PT and it was $39.99.

Hopefully, you guys get the reduced price. As a warning, though, I seem to recall some folks placing a pre-order for some TBS for cheap  only to have the price bumped up or order canceled way later. (I don't remember.)

The September wallet onslaught continues!  Amazon says I can expect my two Blurrgs to be here on Monday 9/9.

[Rob]

Damn that’s fast from reveal to delivery.  It’s kind of nice not having to wait 8 months or a year or whatever. 

I preordered three but think two might be enough. 

[Matt_Fury]

These things have to have been in the works for a while.  The Razor Crest even has the netting to keep them in the cargo hold.

[Rob]

Sure but they didn't tell us about it until recently.  So we got to complain for a year about not having them in the pipeline, but also didn't have to wait very long once they were announced. 

[Matt_Fury]

Let's be honest Rob.  If we didn't complain about the lack of Blurrgs because they were announced sooner, then we would've found something else to complain about.

I'm not unhappy with the news that my Mando & Blurrg order is due to arrive next week.  NOT AT ALL.

I'm concerned with the continued schedule padding by Hasbro.  I just double checked my order spreadsheet.  The original delivery date for this piece was JANUARY 21, 2025.  That's not the usual 6 - 8 weeks of padding - that's OVER FOUR MONTHS OF PADDING!  It raises serious questions about the process when the current sales model has evolved into "Pipeline Announcement - Product Reveal - Preorder - Wait a few months".

Oh, and in the meantime?  There has been next to no updates about the most big ticket item - the Ghost!

[Matt_Fury]

I hear you Nick, and share your concerns.  I'm wondering how much of this is Steve whipping the Star Wars team into shape?

[Dave]

It could be the randomness of scheduling production at a factory in China and scheduling a ship to haul it to the US.  It could be that capacity unexpectedly opened up and everything moved faster than expected.

My guess is that they would aim to be more conservative than say it'll come in September and have it show up in January and have a bunch of fanboys whining about how late things are.
