Friend is sending me 4… I’ll be missing the two that appear to be the more difficult to find but I think he’ll get me covered.  Love the boxes haha.  I’m easily entertained by background boxes I guess.

The Vintage Collection / Re: TVC Nevarro Cantina Playset

I’ve seen some previews of this online and I’m ho hum on it honestly.  I’m disappointed in the door and window not being plastic, and the exterior not being covered.  The opening door on the Tantive IV is a feature I really enjoy and will miss on this set.  I like the bar goodies and the quasi expandability of the overall set, but the exterior will annoy me for sure. 

I was equally dejected with the Tantive IV backside of the walls lacking detail.  The Jabba Palace was a better presentation that way and it was plausible for them to do some imprinted detail.  Little things such as these have annoyed me on the sets… ironically the Carbon Freeze set, to me, is the nicest singular display but it’s not a modular thing at all.  Two and done.

The Tantive would be better with a little more freedom in how one were to display it, but it has limitations too.  This Navarro Cantina seems to have similar issues.  Kind of weird they don’t leave a little more freedom to the buyer to expand it so they’re enticed to buy more.

I support the idea but if I get extras they’re on sale now.

I’m keeping my pulse order too Rob, but cuz I just want a ****load of these sets.  My Disney order shipped but hasn’t moved.

Mine came in the mail over the weekend and I was excited to get home to some new droids.  They’re pretty sweet.  The new astromech domes are nice and have some modular design built into them for I’m guessing possible reuse later with different possible attachments or whatnot. 

The security droid is kind of an army builder, and it’d be cool to have a couple, but the price obviously makes that a tough proposition. 

The champion of the box is the boatman over the river styx.  He’s def cool and would make a neat astromech with the right legs.  He’s completely clean which doesn’t jive with my memory of him in the show but that’s ok.  His joints needed heating to loosen some of them, however his main joints at the hip and shoulders are kinda on the loose side, and his heavy nature makes him topple easily.  Once I got him posed right he holds ok but he def could fall with the slightest fart crosswise.  His oar is I think similar or meant to be similar to or same as the weird staffs the Mustafar bug looking dudes had.  Weird we got figures of them now that I think about that.  Anyway the oar is way big though and a heavy accessory. 

He makes me really long for the boat now, which given the stuff 3D dudes now I’m sure it exists or will shortly. 🤷‍♂️

Overall a fun set.  Now I want the blind box droids.  Hell, I love the boxes even.

Yeah no Disney, yet… though I was able to order a second set of two on hasbro that I hope they didn’t cancel since they’re not selling out there (yet).

I wonder when Disney gets their Shoretroopers……. And rebel troopers. ☹️

Had a solid afternoon of meetings and seem to have missed Fett. I guess that's the world's way of telling me I don't need to drop $24 for a single new 3 3/4" figure.

GameStop still has bud

Give my left nut for a 1/18 UWing.  Not truncated but a true 1/18.  It’s mostly wing so like a tie fighter it’s reasonable, and it should be bigger than the larger ships they’ve done already (that are undersized) so it wouldn’t make them look off or anything.

I’m to the point though, big ships kinda need to be pretty damn special because the barge and RC will be absolute hogs together in anyone’s collection.  Something would probably have to go, or go into storage ultimately.

Don’t get me wrong I love the rancor, I just am pretty content with the saga one.  I do love it though and consider it essential.  I got my OG at Gold Circle on clearance and he ate far more GI Joe’s than Star Wars.  He is still in my collection too.

Same with mine.
