I started selling a bunch of stuff on Mercari last year, which I believe is owned by eBay, but have gotten similar DMs. I'd say 1 out of every 10 messages usually leads to an actual sale. I really don't understand why people ask, because Mercari has the option to offer, and most people offer $5-10 less than what I'm selling for, so I typically accept the offer anyway.

The question that gets under my skin the most is when people ask me to hold an item I've just listed for 5-10 days until their next paycheck comes in. I always tell them I'll do it for a down payment, and so far nobody has followed up on that offer!

When they made The Razor Crest they stated that they'd make every character that ever interacted with it.  By my count they've made a little over half of the characters.

So I guess if they wanted to make The Marauder and there weren't more than a couple other figures not bundled with it available, that shouldn't stop them.

Story trailer.

Release date: 30 August 2024.

Looks good, my only fear is that by the third mission, your character will unlock the ability to be a Jedi.

Dang I would have like the Marauder but I guess that was a long shot seeing as how they’ve only got Hunter to go with it so far.

Well, the Marauder has suffered the same fate as some previous Haslab vehicles... it's a possibility.

The Twilight was #1 on my most wanted list of ships for a long time before the Ghost took over that spot, so I’d be super happy to see this one, although it feels like there is almost no fan push for it.

I’d also love the Jedi T-6 Shuttle. I was checking out the Lego one the other day and it’s a pretty neat design.

The twilight has always been high on my list. I'm not saying it's a great choice for everyone though.

The dream figure pack is top on my list though if it is cantina patrons I will need a cantina to go with them. If they do a cantina, I'm still on board with my vote to keep it modular. The bar section could likely fit in a 12-14 inch deep shelf, as could either side wall of the building. This would keep it flexible for people who definitely don't have the space for a full table display. You could display the whole thing separately on three shelves if need be.

All the time! They will even tell me why they need to pay less than the listed price!

Of course, I am basically making bespoke product, so that's different.

I have best offer turned off, but they still send messages trying to get things for less than I have listed them. My pat answer is that I am making these on demand and typically sell through the quantities I list, so it's not something that I am looking to unload.

And then, when I have a slow weekend, I very often send offers of $5-$10 off to people watching the listing.

All of that said, pretty much anytime I buy something at a vintage toy store or a toy show, I will always offer them like $10 less since I am paying in cash. It usually goes pretty well.

I've been doing a fair amount of selling for the past few years.  The result of buying WAY too much.  So, does anyone else get inundated with questions like this?

"Whats the absolute lowest youd take?" [sic]

Do people think that's actually something that a seller would answer?  Especially when I have the BEST OFFER option enabled on pretty much every listing?

Call me crazy, but isn't traditional negotiating supposed to go like this?
-Seller sets a price
-Potential buyer makes an offer
-Seller can - A - Accept offer;  B - Decline offer;  C - Counteroffer

I was tempted to tell this latest clown to go f*** himself, because I'm so over eBayers asking that question.

Yeah Agreed.  At $25 it should come with the poncho, the rope thing he fires… and a pilot headgear or head… it should be definitive, not just a really well done basic figure.

It's a great figure.  Not perfect, but great.

The level of detail is fantastic.  The paint apps are great - the armor looks far better than I've ever seen on a Jango Fett figure before, and the jumpsuit underneath is the right color.  The way the flamethrower was incorporated with the left gauntlet came out much better than I had expected.

The cons?  The holsters are pretty chonky.  I've heard plenty about wall thickness being an issue with Hasbro's partner factories in China, and this seems to be an example of that.  There seems to be a decent amount of play with with holster straps.  I know that has limited leg mobility on a number of other figures before.  I also had an issue with getting the helmet to sit firmly on the peg after removing Jango's head. 

And of course, we have the Fett tax at play.  The inclusion of 3 flame effects should not be cause to make a figure like this "deluxe" and charge $25.  But this is the state of things.  And given the number of additional accessories - especially a loose head?  I want to see some in-universe containers included with these world building figures.  It helps achieve the whole "world building" concept.  And it can help to manage all of the accessories included in these sets.
