I think I am 65% FOMO and 35% in a better financial situation to swing this than I was for the barge.

I ended up getting two Razor Crests, but I've actually never sold a SW figure in my entire collecting life, and don't intend to start. But my kids are absolutely bananas for the Mandalorian (they've been singing the theme song at the top of their lungs for weeks), so I figure this will be a great gift as they get a little older. And hey, if the extras end up being valuable, down the road, they can choose what to do with them.

Similar for me.  I bought 2... the second one for options... may customize, may keep boxed for my kids if they ever want it, etc.  Guess I could also use it for trade bait if needed.  But will be in no hurry to part with it.

I'm starting to wonder if Hasbro launched this before the ship is reduced to landing gear by the end of the season. That thing is taking a beating. After episodes 9&10 I need replacement junk panels.

Well, at least you got two seasons out of it then.  I've bought ships before from Hasbro with a lot less screen time than this ship!

They're going to have to include a Chapter 11 accessory pack!  Because OMG, that ship has seen way better days.

Thought I'd help everyone else out just like Hasbro CS did me. Four weeks after emailing and 2.5 weeks after the Razor Crest campaign ended. It is official, you can't use PayPal to buy the Crest. Thanks Hasbro!

This will be helpful as I have recently purchased a time travel device.  Thanks Hasbro.

Was there a link to (try to) pay via PayPal?  I never really paid attention and just used my card on file.

I saw people upset about the lack of PayPal on day one.  I don’t think it was an option at any time this round.

Correct - Hasbro ran into issues last time where they could not meet the paypal terms of service since it was a year from the time paid to delivery of the barge.  I guess it wasn't worth the hassle this time around.

I went the PayPal route last time, too.  And I did that specifically because of the 0% interest promotional financing through PayPal credit.  I think we were around 6 months past when I had placed the order there was some oddness about the charge on my PayPal account and my HasbroPulse order.  From what I understand a lot of collectors did this for the Sailbarge.  It had to be a clerical nightmare for Hasbro to deal with, especially considering the price tag of the barge and how to reconcile this situation with what was probably several hundred orders at least.

Like Jeff said, it probably wasn't worth the hassle this time around.

Well, I guess it didn’t hurt the final numbers for the Crest, but there’s no way I would have ever gotten a barge without using PayPal.

Are we allowed to talk about this already or do we need to give it a few days?
