We're getting a baby Yoda with the Razor Crest!  :D

I thought I was passing on this, but with the potential of flipping Baby Yoda to massively reduce the price, now I'm going to be on the fence for a few weeks.

I don't do the big vehicles so I am sitting this one out but it looks good so far! Great features and a good compromise on the scale and interior details.

I hadn't seen it mentioned yet, but whatever the TVC HasLab project will be (and I am leaning toward the Razor Crest after everything I've heard so far) it will be running concurrently with the campaign to fund a new version of the HeroQuest game.

Of note, on this round HasLab has created two tiers with different price points you can fund it at: a $99.99 price point (basic set) and a $149.99 (basic set plus two expansion packs.)

It started today and is currently 62% funded.

Solo: A Star Wars Story / Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts

Ha!

Me too!!
I was just stopping by to report that, after playing the long long game, I was able to finally complete my 5POA Solo collection by picking up Quay and L3 today (along with a second ERG) at the local 5 Below.

They also had 2 fully packed pegs of Resistance figures, but I finished that line off ages ago. Aaaaand a shipper of wave 2 of the Galaxy of Adventures tubes.

 It felt like late 2018 all over again.

A guy from a youtube video source of mine says that the project will be a playset/diorama, and it's not the Death Star.

That said, several weeks ago I happened across someone's facebook page. He designed and 3d printed a Death Star playset. It's like the Emperor's version of the Malibu Dreamhouse.

He has a couple of minor misgivings, but this thing is still impressive.

I'll try to hunt down the page. He uploaded the files for anyone ambitious enough to spend the next few months printing it out.

I believe you are referring to the work over at "Star Wars Plastic Playsets." That Death Star is truly an achievement.

When I saw that Yakface posted the links to these things this morning, I checked them out and the Target app told me these weren't in any store near me. It was about 9am, so I figured everything had been cleared out already.

As it happened, the family was shopping this afternoon and went to the local Target, so I looked anyway. The endcap in toys was wiped out except for one Captain Cardinal. As we were shopping, I found a little standalone display in the kids clothes section with more of the stuff, including a full display of the Droid Depot figures. I bought the trio of Astromechs, but left the BB units.

I liked the packaging, it was nice to open something "different." My son and I have talked about making a "Build A Droid" boardgame, but I never thought I had enough parts to do anything fun. He was excited to see us add a few more to the pile.

I would take more if they did another run.

And I was happy to see that Cardboard Galaxy already has plans in the works to enhance the inside passageway where Leia puts the datacard with the Death Star plans into R2-D2.

Yes, I am really excited by the possibilities of this set! I also envision doing a Profundity hallway (Vader vs RFTs from Rogue One) backdrop that will line up with a doorway, a bridge area, the ANH "Vader/Antilles" room, maybe a ROTS conference room? This piece is very inspiring...

NOT a Vintage Collection purchase at all, but I bought the "Mission Fleet" Mandalorian set today specifically because I wanted the Pram and the Child to go along with my TVC Mando and Cara Dune, and the scale seemed doable. I might wind up using the bike for my IG-11 replacement to sit on in the display with everybody else.

I had previously purchased the Black Series the Child to fit in with the TVC figures, so while I was swapping them out I was surprised to see the BS Child is actually slightly smaller than the MF Child. So I gave the BS version the Pram instead. I wouldn't be surprised if the eventual and inevitable TVC the Child is this same scale.

(BS figures and MF figures now too? Someone at Hasbro is having fun with the series names...)

Preordered two from Amazon...

FYI it is listed as "Spiderman SW VIN Playset" there for some reason if you can't find it.

Supposedly shipping out Feb 1st.

I am so excited for this, it has been a long time coming, and they get a great-for-them 85% for execution.* I am definitely in for 2!

*...One side of one of the doorways should have had "blasted through" deco. And they could have at least painted the back side of the backdrop itself black to hide the inverted embossing between the archway pieces if we are meant to use the back too...

I was ready to buy, until I saw that he has the nerve to charge $6.50 for the shipping. Gotta give free shipping if you're gonna make the sale.  ;D ;D ;D

Other Toy Lines / Re: Modern Masters of the Universe
« on: August 7, 2020, 09:58 PM »
I am sorely tempted by what I have seen of this line so far. I was very much into the 80s line as a kid, starting with Trap Jaw and quickly falling down the rabbit hole. I had most of the 2002 line, but skipped the Classics and the Super7 lines. I am not in stores anywhere near what I used to be able to do, and I'm not excited enough to hunt them online, but when/if I see them in person I may not be able to resist collecting these, or at least my favorites...

Ben: your pic is very enticing, thanks for that!

They should have done the Palitoy Death Star with Tarkin right out of the gate instead of the boardgame--it would've been nearly the same materials, and made a lot of collectors happy!

Caught the Power Droid wave at my local Target once they did the reset this week. I must have been lucky because all 8 figures from the case were on the peg. I picked up the Gonk and Stormie Luke. When I had to stop in again the next day I was shocked to see everything was gone, and the TVC peg had Mission Fleet figures hanging on it instead.

I'm glad I was able to find the Power Droid, and I still believe it should have been 2 per case. Hopefully they will do full cases for etailers.
