    My mom has been keeping this a secret from me. But an amazon order arrived at my doorstep. I told my mom when she was playing with the dog and told me to just open it, because she doesn't recall what it was. I open it and find these...

    She said she didn't want me finding out. But she is getting them for the kids.

    Thanks! I was just going through checkout and they are actually charging sales tax? Aren't they an overseas group? I can't imagine they're sending a check to California at the end of the year lol.

    Robotkingdom (formally Chimungmung) is based in Hong Kong. I believe that their sister site Robotoybase was made right after the crackdown of KO TFs.

    As for sales tax, I have no idea, however they charge you shipping and handling fees when you make the transaction.

    I already got a Hondo from Galaxy's edge, but I see an opportunity to get a single on in package from toysrus.ca. Not sure if I should though, just to save money.

    Would I be correct in saying that the DST Boba Fett is the best figure out on the market currently? I have the 40th ESB Boba preordered to keep MOC, but I want a Boba Fett to play with. I don't want to wait till April for the Black series Boba

    Just curious, does Haslab charge upfront or when it ships?

    A few days after the campaign ends it charges, so basically up front.

    Diamond select is a good option but if you want something to play with, I'd recommend waiting for the Rotj that comes out next summer as it's going to have some good accesories and improved articulation like butterflys.

    Nope... All wrong. It's HT version of the notorious bounty hunter in all the variants that it has produced for the market. :ev: 

    I'm actually waiting to try out the HyperReal version like @Slave IV has mentioned when Hasbro gets to making one.

    I say SHF by FAR! I have probably more Boba Fett figures than any other character in my collection, including pretty much all the mainline figures from the original Kenner to the latest Black Series, Hot Toys, Mafex, kiddie lines, Legos, plush, etc, etc...The SHF has the best look and playability with plenty of accessories. The Black Series is ok but I feel like it's only good at one pose where he is standing there in ESB. I don't like how the sculpt gets broken up if you try to use any of the articulation the figure has. Hot Toys is a cool display piece (I have the ROTJ Deluxe Ver.) but after getting that, it confirmed my thought that HT is not a line I care to get too deep in. In fact, the only other HT I will have is the upcoming Beskar Mandalorian Deluxe...Just had to but they are fiddly and can't really be posed too dynamically without fear of long term damage.

    I think it'll be no contest once people have Razor Crest in their hands...right now you can only judge it by pictures but it looks like it will have everything including the kitchen sink...we're probably going to know the ship better over another two...three...four? seasons while we saw Slave 1 for less than a a couple minutes or so in ESB & AOTC?

    most of the interior of the Slave 1 is conjecture too, so aside from it being connected to the greatest mystery character of the original trilogy, its not like it has a whole lot of reasons for fan attachment other than it is Boba's ship...

    not to say I don't love Slave 1 (either, I have the Jango version on display and the...four? different Boba ones in storage) as it is a striking ship but I bet I'll have stronger feelings for Razor Crest by the time Mandalorian wraps up its final season...

    Lucky! I stopped at three Targets today. There were a total of 4 6" SW figures between them (two Jannah and two Luke/Yoda sets).

    You know what would be some shit? If the Razorcrest got blown up in the first episode of Series 2 of the Mandalorian.
    Or even the last episode.

    It would be better if it happened in the episode right after HasLab funding is closed and the money is in the bank.

    All of this would be so terrible but so freaking hilarious. Then, Mando gets a new Razorcrest but it’s got a different paint so Hasbro gets to repaint it and cash in again.

    Appreciate your insights. I tend to agree with you and my gut leans that way. Razorcrest is hard to top IMO outside of the BMF and Big AT-AT. I strongly suspect that the next SW HasLab will be the Imperial Shuttle because it will come right in time for the ROTJ 40th.

    Then I think, what if they do a Tantive IV or a cutout of a Star Destroyer? I don’t have this kind of room in my home!
