Those do look nice.   Congrats

Thanks.   Also got this.

We got this as kids for a BDay or Christmas. 

I thought it was out of this world amazing.   A spider carrying Skeletor  and walks on its own?  Oh yeah.

But it's clear today's adults don't find it as cool as the 80s child.

Cracks me up that Sleletor is holding a head laser on the back of the box.

The Razor Crest Haslab project backing period ends tonight.  It's up over 25,000 backers!  I was guessing 15K to 20K when they announced it, so I'm pretty surprised.  It really speaks to how hot the Mandalorian is right now.  And that's well-deserved; it has the best Star Wars stories since Disney bought the franchise from Lucas.

I thought about it.... maybe I will regret it... 

I tossed and turned... but I am passing. 

 

My reasons?

I don't know if it is 'iconic'

The BMF Falcon, the BMF AT-AT and if I ever open the sail barge... those are iconic.  Is the Razor Crest iconic that people know that is if they see it?  Dunno... can't have it all... and I want to be picky these days. 

There are a lot of things I would like to see made, and I don't want to say, I did not have the space.

I'd definitely call the Falcon and AT-AT "iconic"--if by that you mean the most popular--but definitely not the barge.  It's just too niche for having only appeared in one scene, plus it's too big and rules out too many people due to that space requirement.  The Razor Crest is already far more popular than the barge could ever be for being a central part of most episodes of the Mandalorian.

I skipped it though.  I almost pulled the trigger figuring I'd display it, let the kids play with it for a year or so, and then eventually sell it at a profit, but meh, just didn't feel like taking up that much space for a figure scale I don't even collect anymore.  Right now my man cave is about 12" by 16"...I'm hoping our next house will have a sizable basement that I can use for a lot more storage plus a rec room.

Not really plastic crack or anything but kinda neat. Found this in a box I was looking through for some stuff today. One of the first computerized collection cataloging price guide programs. Even had a couple super hero cards stashed away in it.

From the gloriously terrible Crystar line.  I'm a sucker for the magma fools.

Not sure if anyone will see this at 8pm on a Sunday night, but I thought I'd share. I don't keep up with Marvel Legends much anymore, but I thought this was in demand at one point. Randomly scrolling on Target's site tonight, they had three in stock. I got one for myself, what the heck, but if you need one, they've still got two as of this moment!

Nice, I have this one also. This time last year I doubt I would have been interested. The innocence of this set really got to me in these troubled times. I showed a bunch of pictures of the completed set to my coworkers and all the girls melted with emojis.

I’ve passed in this set so many times but I finally caved. I really needed a Tusken Raider mini figure also. 

 

This also goes with a few other sets I have.

Yeah... I felt the same... I kept passing it up and when I saw it on Amazon on sale it was 'now or never'...    It was when I thought I would buy Mos Eisley...   It's actually a neat little set and I am glad I picked it up.   It's one of those sets that people will regret now picking up once it is retired.

I’m not sure if I’ll get Mos Eisley or not.

I got this instead... This and the Treehouse are staying boxed until I redo the office.

I’ve been slowly working on this one, which was also a big part of why I finally got Obi-Wan’s hut.

Saw this on the wall of a random toy store.  Nearly overlooked as I thought it was newer. 

Been opened, but very firm from storage over time.

Until I held one,  I never noticed the Sky Patrolesque reflectors behind the toys.

I had this set as a kid.    I have a loose set now but a set in the board would be great.   Nice find!

[Talapas1]

Found these micromachineescque Back to the Future toys at our local hobby shop.    I could pass them up.  Apparently they were a giveaway or exclusive from Texaco.   Whatever they are, the are cool

That's something I've never seen.  I'd get it too.  Such a huge fan of Back to the Future II.

Looks like there is a Hoverport that was sold separately for the cars.

I'll keep my eyes open. 

I don't run into Crystar items often, but I oddly have a few times lately. 

Saw a really nice/complete Warbow.  Considered it, but was a bit too much for me.

Yeah. The shop had the playset as well but I didn’t want it as much as the cars.
