How many times does Lando (Skiff) need to be a total dog at retail?

Definitely not excited for the cost of it... but I'm happy to get a new speeder bike, and supposedly a new Scout Trooper as well. Knowing the endless repacks will be a part of the plan, I'm ok with it.

Agreed.  I'd be happy getting one that isn't the same basic version as the one made in the 80's.  And a new, more modern Scout would be welcome too.  That other stuff can be left to the completionists.

What were we supposed to take from Obi-Wan looking at the box of lightsabers that members of The Path had collected? 

Were they from dead Jedi? If so, how did The Path get them?

Were they from Jedi that have gone in to hiding and didn't want them anymore - similar to what Kenobi did by burying his and Anakin's saber in the desert?  Does that mean Quinlan Vos is out there in hiding and left his saber behind?

I think the insinuation is that they were from Jedi who left their past behind them to go into hiding juxtaposed with Kenobi doing the exact opposite. 

I just don't know what to say if nothing in this series made an OT fan smile.  I thought it was awesome.  I think that people just need to get rid of their "head cannon" and enjoy the ride.

The 8 year old me LOVES that Vader.

Can't blame a guy for trying, LOL.  That's the one missing helmet that I really want for my display.

Try not to let the stress get to you.  The upshot is that it seems like you found a new place fairly quickly which can be the real pain point from what I hear.  I moved about a year ago and we didn't really feel that pain as the first house we wanted we got into.  It went up on a Tuesday and we were under contract on Thursday.  Fast!  When we sold our condo, we were under contract 7 hours later.  If you were able to skip looking at a million places and getting denied, count yourself as lucky.

Here’s a new one:

I won on auction earlier today, at least I think I did, where I was the only bidder. However, eBay refuses to acknowledge that I actually won the auction. No confirmation email, nothing. When I click on the item page it says “We’re determining the winner. Please refresh the page.” 

I googled it and couldn’t find any reference to this on the internets. WTH?

Try using an incognito window and check the auction without being logged in to see what it says.

I don't think it's a big deal that they originally started as a possible Haslab and they decided to go the pre-order route with this. 

I didn't think it was a big deal either, though when a spokesperson doesn't tell the truth about it then I think it becomes a bigger deal.  They could have just said "it was planned for this, then we moved it to that," but instead we get outright denial that it was ever Haslab, and then when evidence pops up it makes you wonder if you can trust anything that's ever said.  You combine this with things like the accidental Rancor announcement that was immediately backtracked on and it just fosters negativity with your consumer base. 

I know I'm biased, but I blame Hasbro for treating their business like its some high security government agency or a Summer blockbuster where knowing something might ruin the plot and somehow reduce sales.  Just be honest and transparent with this stuff.  They've always tried to be ultra secretive and punitive towards anyone who tries to share information before they've had a chance to announce it and that's never sat well with me.

AND if they were more transparent, they have thousands willing to give free market research.

Remember when that ****** action feature throne room Luke came out and they responded by letting us in on the early concept drawings of a new Jedi Luke they were planning?  More of that would help them refine their stuff before it is too late.

That said, on the creative side at least, they seem to have people with an eye on accuracy.
