Jeff posted recently that the report was that the factory said they wouldn't be able to deliver more choppers... I didn't see an explanation...

The Vintage Collection / Re: 4” Epic Hero Series Figure Line

lol.
It’s less than 1/4 the cost of the TVC one but it’s also less than 1/20th of the quality.
At $35 it’s only $20 more than Paz Vizla was. I have nothing but complaints with this line but here I go.
I’ll just sell the ship and try to get $15 or $20 back.

Looks like there is an N-1 with Mando and Grogu. I’m desperately hoping those figures are repacks. 🤦♂️

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Everything eBay! Scams, questions, etc...

I do eBay garage sales once or twice a year where I'll list maybe 50 to 100 things and I never get questions like that. I do let people make offers though and set auto-rejections for really low ones. So maybe the low-balling people just get weeded out that way? I also set it so people with feedback scores below 5 can't bid on my auctions, maybe they can't email me either.

Yeah Agreed. At $25 it should come with the poncho, the rope thing he fires… and a pilot headgear or head… it should be definitive, not just a really well done basic figure.

Got this one a bit ago… perfectly solid figure, but like we always talk about, very overpriced. It’s a basic figure in every way, he take up no more space than any other figure.
They just want a 50% markup because they can.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2023 TVC Troop Builder Tusken Raider 4-Pack
« on: April 2, 2024, 06:21 PM »
Next up in my little Hasbro Outlet Deals parts swap experiments... I grabbed one of these sets and an extra Tusken with Massiff at Target and tried to re-arrange the parts and weapons without any serious disassembly to see if I could make 5 new guys. I don't know how successful it was (2 or 3 of them work for me) but here's the initial results. I'll probably keep tinkering with them, maye see if I can swap hands, maybe do something different with the one guy who came out basically the same... who knows.

I’m sure it was. It’s still obnoxious.
Not sure how his scale will be compared to the others but after seeing how small Krrsantan was in his deluxe box, and given nearly everything Hasbro does lately, it still feels like a cash grab.
It won’t be too much longer before we see an Ahsoka Bar Zeb on more deluxe packaging for another $26. The double dipping is supposed to bring costs doen through volume, but instead it’s another cash grab opportunity.

So that’s pretty lame that he fits on a regular card with the Ghost but then has to be a $25-ish deluxe set at retail.

Isn’t he on a regular card in the Haslab or did I read that wrong on Instagram comments?

Thanks Nick! I'm just looking for something so they wont' topple, don't need the expensive ones for posing them.
