The Vintage Collection / Re: 2020 TVC Haslab Razor Crest
« on: February 13, 2022, 12:29 PM »
I’ve been seeing social media posts about people assembling their Razor Crest’s, and enlisting their kids to help.  Evidently stocking the weapons locker might require smaller hands.

Getting the guns into the locker on the Razor Crest was a pain in the rear! That whole forward section: weapons locker, bed, and toilet are accessible only through the side ramp/hatch and the top doesn’t come off there. I’m not a big guy, but my hands were too large to get most of the weapons into the locker… I eventually succeeded using a couple chopsticks, one with sticky tack on the end to hold the gun and the other to push it into place. That said, the locker itself is well designed and I like how the guns mount on a peg pushed through the trigger guard. Once mounted in place, they won’t be falling off!

Finally got my Razor Crest put together… It’s huge and the details are amazing! There is so much packed into this toy/model and so much versatility in terms of how it can be displayed. I’ll leave it to others for the more detailed reviews, but it is certainly one of the best Star Wars ships Hasbro has put out to date 8)

Nice!

Mine says signature required.  Did you have a way to waive that or did they just get lazy?

I’m guessing FedEx got lazy… But I’m a bit puzzled - my tracking showed the item scheduled for delivery yesterday, but that the item hadn’t yet been received by FedEx. I didn’t think to check my porch yesterday, so I wonder if this came yesterday and then sat out for a day! Either way, it’s here :)

I came home to find this on my front porch  8)



The box is large and surprisingly heavy… It definitely did not arrive in mint condition (see the smashed corner on the top left) but there was no way I was keeping this boxed anyways… More pics to come.

After getting the Razor Crest Unboxing email from Hasbro, I checked my FedEx account, which shows the shipment listing with a scheduled delivery for today (2/9/22). The excitement lasted for all of a fraction of a second as I then saw that only the label has been created and nothing has been received by FedEx just yet… More waiting I guess, but that’s no big deal and I’m glad I at least got the shipment listing!

The Vintage Collection / Re: Target 2021 TVC Droids Carded Figures
« on: December 12, 2021, 01:27 PM »
Hadn’t been following this thread, but the some of the Droids figures were among the first Star Wars figures I ever got as a kid in the mid 1980s. I had The Droids version of C-3PO and the regular Power of the Force R2-D2 with the pop-up lightsaber (the C-3PO is long gone, but still have the R2 sans the lightsaber). Amazingly, I’ve still got both the original coins as well 8)

I’m happy as I managed to find this X-Wing at a local Target this morning 8) I don’t usually do too well finding these type of limited exclusives, but according to Target.com, the particular store was the only one in my area that had the item and there turned out to be two left. While I was tempted to get both, I only needed one so the other can be taken by another collector…

Stopped by a local Walgreens that still has a Finn action figure on the shelf, presumably from around 2015! Arguably one of the worst-selling action figures ever ::)

This figure needs Dave Filoni’s trademark cowboy hat among the accessories ;)

Just seeing this about Blue Leader’s X-Wing... I like it! Now if only I can find one come this fall.

Definitely some of the best Star Wars action and storytelling I’ve seen in a long time... Awesome ending as well! It’s too bad Dave Filoni and John Farveau weren’t considered to develop/direct the Sequel Trilogy, since, as The Mandalorian proves, it would have been far better than what we got.

Are we past the 24-hour mark? I think we need to petition Hasbro to reopen the Razorcrest Kickstarter and include a new accessory consisting of a display base of a smoking crater in the ground  ;)

Awesome episode though for many, many reasons!

Those photos of the Razorcrest look really awesome! Definitely a beautiful ship. I may have to put in for a second one  ;)

The Vintage Collection / Re: Do You Collect/Display Vehicles?
« on: October 21, 2020, 11:35 AM »
Since I was a 4-year old way back in the early 1980s and received an original vintage X-Wing for my birthday, I’ve always been a vehicle collector first and a figure collector second. When the new items are released for a new movie, I almost always get the vehicles first. Granted over the past 15 years or so I’ve branched out into collecting more figures (particularly army-building figures like Imperial Stormtroopers or Clone Troopers) however the vehicles have always been my go-to, whether it’s Star Wars, GI Joe, 1/18th scale military, or smaller scales.
