There’s also a rumor floating around that it is a 6” Bantha with multiple Tusken Raiders, but maybe that is an April Fool’s gag too. I hate that stupid holiday.

That was out out there by somebody other than Jayson, but with the Yakface name attached to give it some credibility.

My question is: If the HasLab is the Ghost, and the Ghost is featured on Ahsoka, why run a HasLab campaign well before Ahsoka airs?

Amazon has lowered the price of Indy to $11.99 now, too. And has him back up for orders to ship next weekend. None of the other Retros are listed yet, though.

Thanks for the links, I grabbed the last couple I needed! I couldn't find them thus morning for whatever reason!

I liked this week's episode insofar as it was a fun dumb show not trying too hard to be something thoughtful.

Ragnar...do we think he is Paz's biological offspring, or a foundling son like Grogu is to Din? Is there a Mrs. Visla?

I laughed SO HARD when the jetpack ran out of fuel in pursuit of the flying creature and one of the Mandos said this happened last time, too. You guys are idiots! You create a new strategy if this option has failed before, especially if you are protecting your kids!!

But yeah, this covert is full of a bunch of morons and I almost have too much respect for Favreau to think it is an accident. The subtext is really leaning towards " if you fail to grasp society your best option is to join a cult and follow it without question." Is this show becoming Scientology propaganda?

Finally, the Grogu flashback. I loved seeing Kelleran Beq again, but I wasn't impressed much with the sequence. When Ahsoka told us Grogu escaped the Temple during the Purge, this is what you could imagine yourself. Nothing unexpected happened. It was lazy.

And my son and I agreed while watching it: those baby birds are going to be mounts.

Man, I have got to get off my butt and start picking up some of your stuff Muftak - that Nevarro Cantina one is great.

Thanks. I don't promote stuff here because I feel like that is overstepping the boundaries of having the conversations I have cherished here for 20 years.

Plus, like I said, it's  become impossible for me to link Facebook-hosted pics here, or Rebelscum-hosted pics, so I have nothing to show.

But by all means feel free to follow all of my shameless self promotion over on Instagram  (as thecardboardgalaxy) or Facebook ( @Cardboard Galaxy there.)

Thanks! I was working on that insert last month, luckily Nicklab hooked me up with a collector who already had one in hand. I sent him the prototype and was able to do revisions before mine arrived. It enabled me to get it up for sale as soon as these started showing up.

That being said, I don't know if I am keeping mine for the long run, just to take pictures of this and 2 other interior sets I am doing. For sure I am going to sell off that exclusive figure to a carded collector. I always feel guilty opening these pack ins

It's weird. All last week people including me were finding single Luke's at their Targets, a couple found Emperors as well. This is the second full case of Han I have heard about showing up.

I don't think assortment cases are out yet. Even the set I ordered came in a Han case that had been opened and resealed.

I can confirm that, when I worked with Chris Krahn after he took over SLC, he wanted me to develop a playset that could be sold alongside the upcoming R2-Q5 figure. I sold the item from December 2019 - March 2020 on the Fans Strike Back portal, and he offered a deal to bundle the droid with the playset for customers.

Suffice it to say, the deal wound up not being worthwhile for me. I was doing it to gain exposure through his website, obviously, but his business practices left a lot to be desired as a partner and it increasingly became more work for me than I signed up for. When the pandemic started I had to shut down business for a time, and I used that opportunity to end our partnership.

I can not confirm in what capacity the R2-Q5 was produced prior to Chris Krahn's involvement, only that he told me he was launching the figure in November/December 2019, which I took to mean it hadn't been offered before.
