If we had an old thread, I'm not digging for it. THey finally remember Jabba had human goons besides Rancor Keeper. Also, Squid Head remake! Also, Ree Yees reissue.  Mando's fighter. Probably a $200 item. Yeah, it's nice they are making it. I don't care if I ever own one.  |

Crazy they brought the Naboo Fighter back.
That was a stupid idea, lol.
The R2-D2 slot is such a poor design, on most of those Jedi Starfighters too.
Jabba's goons...only took them 40 years.
Not a fan of the Mandalorian. Programming kids to wear masks..."This is the way."
Fuck you disney.

What I've seen of the Mandalorian is it's fanfic. It's a grown kid playing with toys. First episode. Not-BOBA FETT talks to Empire guys after beheading Squid Head. Then he takes landspeeder taxi to his ship. Then he meets ugnaught who teaches him to ride not-dewback, then he and not-IG-88 battle Jabba's henchmen to rescue babified-Yoda. Mando is SOOOO cool because he never takes off helmet. He must stank something awful most days. But I've only seen first episode and a few clips. The Jabba goon pack is $73 dollars. The 3 pack of skiff guards from a couple of years ago was $39.99. Yeah, $32 more and just one figure and one of the figures is a reissue again. That's crap. And fanboys will rationalize the sh-t out of it. "It's the only way we'll get them."  Maybe, but at least admit it sucks and is a rip-off. |

Hasbro remakes retro Kenner Yakface. YESSS! I doubt I'll get it, since my vintage collection is lost to history, but I just really hope this pisses sooo many snotty purists elitist collectors off. (But, I mean bootleggers already remade Yakface, so...) Oh, and retro Mon Mothma...which is a figure that had to be a boxed set to even exist.   |

Honestly, if I wasn't knee deep in Joe stuff, I'd get some of those Star Wars retro packs.

blah.

And of course the probably Vintage Collection carded 8D8 for those card nuts.
And yeah, when did Jabba and 8D8 interact...but can't have prisoner Leia or Oola...they offensive.
The 2010 set was $34.97 - $38.88. So $50 more for little frogs and some throw rugs, oh and magic retro cardboard.

The 'collector tax'.. keep pushing and pushing. The people who play the clarence game seem to be smarter and smarter.
Slightly related, but Disney looks to be having a yard sale to downsize, want to get rid of ABC, ESPN, some other stuff given their debt.

The worst kept SW secret this year, the Vintage Collection Ghost from Rebels. $499.999999 8000 backers needed. I kinda hope it fails to fund...because f' Disney Star Wars anything. Edit: Already over 2,500 backers.     |

An easy layup for Hasbro. Should get Star Wars HasLab back on track.

Without the rest of his family, what's to celebrate?
Oh, they are making Retro Collection The Phantom Menace wave...which sounds re-tarded. I mean. What almost killed SW merch twice...TPM. So let's make wave that goes with no previous Retro collection releases.
