Well that was an interesting episode tonight! Really wish this season wasn’t only 8 episodes though…

My N-1 came today from GameStop :)

Quite a nice rendition of the ship and extremely well detailed with all the deep recesses, machinery, cockpit, stowage area, Grogu’s seat, and other working features. The dual stands are nice too, giving some flexibility on how the N-1 is displayed. Only real gripe is that it should have come with the R5-D4 head and Din’s rifle… Those parts wouldn’t have added much to the overall cost. Otherwise, the Mandolorian’s N-1 Starfighter is another fantastic addition to the Vintage line! I’ve shared some pics below… Enjoy  8)

About 4 hours and 14 minutes left at the time I made this post… Currently at 18,827 backers or 235.34% funded with all unlocks met. Glad to see the Ghost finally appeared, saw a little action, and wasn’t destroyed in the latest Ashoka episode as I’m sure that helped drive some last minute backers 8)

Haven’t posted in a while and I come back on to see the Haslab Ghost… Amazing! And I’ve still never found a decent spot for the Razor Crest, lol. Like others have said, I’m kind of tempted to back two… But again, really awesome to see this.

I was (well, still am) a fan of the old Action Fleet line and it’s neat hear this new Micro Galaxy line announced. Overall, the designs look accurate and seem to scale quite well, which is great. i like how the first wave features a lot of classics, but then some new and interesting ships as well. Obviously a lot of potential for growth/development of the line too. I’m down for it   8)

If you use tweezers a lot for projects, then I'd definitely say you should use them. I'd heard a ton of reports of the weapons locker taking people over an hour to do, but I was able to do it in about >20 mins. But taking the doors off is a must, and take off the ship roof and the wall too. And honestly, it's probably easier to do it before you put the engines on.

Yeah, it took me about 45 minutes or so to get the weapons in the locker, though part of that time included experimenting with a method that worked… I didn’t pry off the doors, but did remove the roof and side. The tweezers I have were too small, so I wound up using a couple chopsticks - one with sticky tack to hold the weapon and the other to push it into place. Despite the difficulty of accessing that part of the ship, the design of the locker with the pegs that fit into the trigger guards of the weapons was a great idea. One doesn’t have to worry about the weapons falling off once they are placed.

Heads up - it seems that some people have had breakage issues with the landing gear doors.  Check out THIS YAKFACE IG POST.  It's a good reminder to have the contact info for Hasbro Customer Care on hand if you have serious issues with your Razor Crest.

Good idea! On my Razor Crest, the rear/main landing gear doors were tricky to get open at first. I wound up carefully inserting a small pocket knife blade into the seam and gently pried them open without issue. I’ve not pulled off many of the other panels so far and have yet to try opening the escape pod and tail gun parts… Just so much to do with this model!

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!

« 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)
