Not perfect, but will be a nice addition to my Tusken shelf.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2023 Star Wars Celebration UK Hasbro Panel
« on: March 27, 2023, 05:05 PM »TVC reveals will likely include more repaints. And maybe one all new sculpt we will see next year. Sigh…
That seems to be the business model for Hasbro for a while. Make a new figure that can be repainted, head-swapped or kit-bashed to make other "new" figures to maximize profits. I don't begrudge a company trying to make a profit, without making a profit, they won't make any figures, but I would hope they would not take this safe route and take a risk with some cool aliens, Jedi who are not main characters and other figures in that vein.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2023 TVC Wave 5? (New TVC Wave 31)
« on: March 26, 2023, 02:42 PM »That Cad Bane really looks great. Already preordered, and looking forward to it, but man those prices keep creeping. I know it has been talked to death but it really is getting to a point of how much is too much. It seems like there have been a number of discussions on here over the years where we would say “if it hits this price, I’m out” but we just kind of keep re-adjusting. I know I have become much, much more selective…and army building is kind of going away. Especially at $17 individual figures. Starting to wonder how much more of that the TVC line can take.
I've moved from Army building to squad building.

I have a feeling the Bad Batch are walking into a trap designed to get Omega.

I found a 40th Anniversary Boba Fett for $10 off. Pristine card! I couldn't resist buying it.

I agree that this Covert now has a biological Air Force.
Really liked the Kelleran Beq rescue of Grogu. I met Ahmed Best at Colorado Springs Comic Con last year and he is the nicest guy!
Ragnar has to be a foundling. Otherwise we would've seen him during BoBF. Look at how they refer to Din Djarin as Grogu's father.
With the Mandalorians not changing tactics when chasing the raptor, it just proves that most of them are followers and not leaders. It's a good thing Bo Katan and Din Djarin are with them. Bo Katan is a good leader, even though she has made mistakes in the past. I think she's learned from them and is growing...I'm enjoying her story arc! Din Djarin is a capable leader, but he's a reluctant one. I think with Bo Katan, he will be the leader that the Mandalorians need to unite.

I'm hoping to get a good look at the Mando N-1 starfighter.

Hell, I wish I was paying attention around 1985 when you could get most of these for around a dollar!

You're not talking to yourself Dave, I've just been quietly listening.
After getting all the Theatrical Posters (minus Solo...it looks nice, but they style is just so different from the others) I consider my collection complete in this area. I just got them all up in my new office and they look awesome!

« on: March 21, 2023, 03:40 PM »I ordered one but am waiting to open it until someone else
Does and posts about those legs.
Has anyone seen comparison pictures of the Chewbacca and past versions with this sculpt? If the paint is new I’ll open it regardless.
Bossk's Bounty did a review you can see it here.
The Chewbacca is nice. I'll let you know when mine arrives if I have to fix the legs. I made a video of Jesse's tutorial on how to fix them and it's here.

« on: March 20, 2023, 04:50 PM »There's definitely something going on. In the clips from previous episodes she's talking to someone on holo, and she says "what do you have for me?" I never paid attention to it originally, but after last week's episode it's clear there's a deeper story there. She wasn't talking to Gideon, so who was she talking to? Is she Republic Special Ops? Sith Eternal? Working for Thrawn? It feels like they were setting up some stuff even last season.
I always thought she was talking to the mechanic on Nevarro who was working on the Razor Crest. I guess it could've been someone else.
