    I've been working on painting up some of my MGS Scout class stuff, here's the Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike! I repainted the bike in a more accurate brown color and weathered it up, there wasn't as much to do on the Scout Trooper but I added some missing details and repainted the arms.

    Nice job! I didn't realize how tiny these were until seeing them in person.

    I have to admit that the recent allusion to an ATAT might pull me into this line, but then I'll want all the Imperial equipment. A slippery slope for sure. :p

    They pricematch within 14 days. Or you could just buy another and return it under the first one's receipt.

    Thank you! Despite the scaling and occasional proportion issues, it's a really fun line! Interested to see the rumored AT-AT and I'm curious if we'd ever get a larger ship class to make an AT-M6

    Hmm, looked and it is actually more than 14 days. Yeah I could do a return, but might be more in gas and time to get the difference.

    Found 3 of the 40th ROTJ black series figures at GameStop today. They had the Endor Han, Endor Leia and the Biker Scout. The guy there said someone was interested in the Endor Han. Though I was interested in the scout trooper.

    Amazon Man delivered TVC reissue Wooof, came in a snug box that dinged the lower corner but I was opening him anyway. Nice figure, weird to see those old 2010 joints again because they're so clumsy compared to now, the wide cut on the swivel waist is really odd; the helmet on the figure is not a great fit and kinda flared, otherwise the figure's nice and those soft goods still look great but I dunno about FULLY DOUBLE nice, I guess that's what I get for not remembering if I have him.

    Also cracked open TVC reissue Saelt Marae (Yak Face), this thing was $4 less 4 years ago but I don't remember ever seeing him at the time. It's a really solid figure, great sculpt and deco, very striking. Only odd thing is the hinge on the wrist is in the forearm instead of the hand, I don't hate this (some of those hinged TVC hands are fugly) but it sure is different. Where Wooof's soft goods are top notch, Salty Mary's is a little lesser, not bad but the inside seams are a bit too much; my sample has a stain on the right side, but it doesn't really hurt the look too badly.

    The Mission Fleet Slave I just dropped down to ~$24 (MSRP $40) on Amazon, price-matched on Target.com so if you've been holding off on it like me, now's the time to buy.

    57032B9D-78FD-42CD-98CD-64EEC89633D8.jpeg Found this last Monday at Target around 10 am.

    I also found this at a 2nd Target. Looks like someone opened it and left it behind.

    So while trying to find out if Disneyland still sells the Macquarie 2 pack, I found something else Star Wars mandalorian I really like. Trying to look at how to get it I have 3 options.

    1) pay double the price on eBay with reasonable shipping.
    2) buy normal price on Disney shop but pay like a large sum of shipping.
    3) wait a year till I can confirm im going to Disneyland then I can I I it up there and take it home with me.

    I just checked. The Mandalorian product is $50. To ship to Canada it’s $30. Convert that to Canadian it’s around $110. You think it’s worth it?

    The shipping price is terrible, but you may have to eat it just to get what you want. Everything costs a lot more to ship these days.

    Getting a camtono?

    there's no guarantee it will still be available at the park a year from now

    most merch generally doesn't stick around that long, even site-specific ones...some of the Black Series sets stuck around longer, but if you really want it and don't want to miss it you should just get it now...plus it will save the hassle of bringing it back from the the park (assuming you fly)...

    This Luke is basically the same as the Mandalorian single carded version that's supposed to be out soon correct? Just different accessories?
