It's 2.99 shipping. Sign me up for not making special gamble trips to GS

Put me in the camp that thinks upscaled U/Y/B Wings would be cool but is just fine with what we have at least from a Haslab perspective.

The last bunch of waves of BS and upcoming waves are amazing. The repaints mixed in between don't change that. I wish 3.75 would get some of the figs BS has.

I feel like that's exactly what it proves. The rancor was worth $250. A lot of people assumed they'd get some combo of Oola, Malakili, Giran etc that would be worth the other $100. Oops. So they are bailing.

I'm a member of the MN Toy Posse on Facebook. And what it seems like to me is if you're a 3.75 collector then you're hard-core into Star Wars and have been for a long time. There's then people like me who collect both. Then there's a group that only collects 6" and they like SW but are far from all in on it. They've seen the movies. Like the Mandalorian. And collect Black Series figures because they collect toys in general, i.e. I just read someone say about a post showing a WM with the Koska Reeves figure "I need that blue Boba chick".

So long story short I don't ever see that part of the collecting community spending $350 on a SW toy. Whereas the 3.75 collector will shell out for everything.

I collect both lines. I am just fine finding space for a barge and Crest that don't have representation otherwise. I'm not ok finding space for a rancor that I have what I consider a more than adequate representation of already. This is just a relatively easy pass for me. It would probably take 4 to 5 unlocked new to BS figures to make me cave.

I bet there'd be plenty of bitching that "I don't wanna be forced to buy that playset just for a new figure." There's always someone ready to complain. I just like the playset.

The creatures even with shipping was a no brainer for me. I'll hope for individual release on other sets.

What Nick said. My brain can't wrap itself around funding this Haslab when I haven't received the last one yet.

Too many repaints for me. I think I'm just in on the kowakian monkey lizards set

Rex has been in and out of stock this afternoon. Finally successfully ordered one.

Anybody else get a delayed until March message today? With Jayson saying they had reached the U.S. a couple weeks ago I was expecting the opposite email

Got mine today. That was fast. Maybe they had to make up for how slow the Stormtroopers are coming.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Dune

Anyone have any thoughts?

I've read all six of Frank Herbert's Dune books. Ignoring most people saying his son's Dune books aren't good, am I ok moving straight into the two books that finish Frank's second trilogy or do I need to read the Butlerian Jihad trilogy first? I've seen enough spoilers to know that back story is helpful since it was written first.

No one cared / had an opinion when I asked this but in hopes more people read the books with this movie out I'll say I'm glad I read the prequel Butlerian Jihad trilogy before reading the last two books that finished the second "trilogy". It was nice to have Omnius, Erasmus, etc backstory.
