Got it, thanks!


Another new pick up... got it a few weeks ago but finally managed to get it all cleaned up.

I didn't realize you were actually working with them on stuff...

Looks like maybe the fact that a few SLC R2-Q5's showed up at the same time as the Stan Solo one might have driven the price down.  One just sold for $158...

The R3-M3 still went for over $400.

I saw a review and the ship is just different enough for me to consider picking one up. 

I just got mine and to what you're saying, I'm really underwhelmed by how light the difference is.  When I really run out of space, this will probably be the first thing I sell.  I also have a wing that doesn't seem to want to sit flat... gotta try to figure that out.

Here's their promo photo...


Here's what it looks like next to the regular release:

I opened mine yesterday, as far as sets designed to sell you the same thing 7 times, I like this one. 

I didn't really have a problem with the hands, but I don't look at these this closely once they're on the shelves I guess.

That was definitely on purpose.  They intentionally had him struggle with it before showing her do that.  This story line is hopefully setting up for Din to ditch the cult and her to get the Saber back. Maybe he abandons his nonsense and in exchange she abandons the idea that she has to battle him to have it.

I stumbled across this SLC R2-Q5 just now but want a Stan Solo one on principle… wondering if this is something different or are they the same thing from the same molds back from before things fell apart
?

Not knowing might lead me to missing out at this price…

Edit, never mind… I found pictures and it looks like at a minimum they are different stickers.

Not quite the amazing sale I was holding out for, but Amazon has the Starship for $187... I had $105 on an Amazon gift card, so I tossed it in and after tax picked it up for $100.  It was still really $200, but it seemed like a good time to go for it.

Yeah that Ball Speeder is great.

I was reading an interview with Chris where he said the small runs are 400, the larger runs are as much as 1,000. 

Not big numbers no matter how you slice it and it seems like the popularity of his pieces if growing rather than shrinking. 

I'm not paying $600 for either of those droids though.  If things calm down and I can get them in that $200-$250 range, I'll do it.

I’m slightly tempted too but am going to pass.  The value is there, but they seem to have overproduced every troop builder pack except the obvious one to over produce (Stormtrooper) and I already have more of these then I know what to do with.

They’ve also got all these figures on sale that used to be $13.99 or $14.99 and are now $16.99.

I bit the bullet on a $200 U-3PO last night... I think I'm down to just R2-M3 and R2-Q5 to have every one that I'd like to have.

Damn, I would really like a White Witch… :'(

I shot him an email this morning and asked if there was a chance he’d ever do a second run if White Witches.  He didn’t commit, but hinted that he might this year and said he’d put me on the list. 

So, if you really want one and don’t want to spend $2500, emailing him to get on this list is probably your best bet.

Me too.  I wonder if he could make more of them.

Thanks for the scouting report.  That lines up with what my impression was from looking at them.  I think I'm going to pass... if they don't fit into the regular Kenner line on this shelf, I don't really have a spot for them. 

I just ordered some more of the Pro Custom Figures stuff... ordered Dondonna, Antilles and 6 pilots:  Luke, Biggs, Garven Dreis, Wedge, Porkins, and Dutch. 

I'm going to wait a month or so and order another batch.  After seeing what his White Witch is selling for on eBay, and seeing what the Stan Solo stuff goes for once it's gone, I want to get caught up on the ones I want and avoid risking missing them.

Lot of set up indeed…. I thought the episode was pretty milk toast though.
