That sketch is insane.  I wouldn’t even know what to do with a death star like that and I have an entire basement’s worth of space.  It’s filling up though. 

As for the Cantina, I wouldn’t want it to work like the Lego one which displays terribly.  It might work well as a playset but it wouldn’t for me.  The genius about the Jabba’s Palace is that it was designed to fit on a shelf.  I hope they’re smart enough to let that be the max size for playsets.

That would make sense but also when had Jayson ever been wrong about this stuff.   Maybe it’ll be like last year where there’s the Ghost but there’s also Jabba’s Palace as a regular, expensive release.

Wow.  I can’t believe it’s been that long.

Best part is we had Grogu on a card like a year ago.

They did it twice.

Maybe Steve came back into the fold and didn’t think it was up to snuff.

If Hasbro never released another Vader, Grogu, or Din again I’d be totally good with it.

Gotta say, THAT is the biggest surprise over the last four years of this mess.

A few weeks ago I got the TPM Retro set from an employee who got one from the back room too.  A week later they have 8 of them on the shelf in two different locations.  They don’t seem to be selling.

Phew.  I hope it goes into the small Targets too.  Those are the ones I walk by at lunch regularly.

Yay.  Two more perfectly fine but uninspired figures made out of old figures.

I just got the same notification from Pulse.

One more thought about avenues for selling... there is a Buy / Sell / Trade section for Lego on RS.  I'm not sure how active it is, but no eBay fees at least...

Absolutely no rush on my end.  I'm not actively looking for one and am in no hurry at all.

And I hear you on the burden thing.  I had a health scare in February where I found out I have a genetic heart condition… my case is apparently pretty minor and I have a great chance of it never affecting me in any serious way, but it carries a small chance of sudden cardiac arrest and it does kill about 1 o 1.5% of people who have it.

I previously figured I’d enjoy this stuff until sometime my 60’s then sell most of it, and just keep the vintage stuff.  But, before I got to the specialist who said my case isn’t severe and he’s not that worried about me, all I could think about was dying suddenly and leaving my wife with 5000 action figures, 250 statues, and a ton of Lego to deal with…

I’m collecting, I’m enjoying it… but at some point it will have to go.  Hopefully not for a long time yet.

Just got mine.  I suppose it's an upgrade over the Disney one, it's a lot larger.

That’s fair.  And I know it’s better if Target sells this stuff.  But also 95% of my TVC buying is Amazon and Pulse… so it wouldn’t be a huge loss if it didn’t affect the overall line.
