3.75" Collecting Thread

It's a real missed opportunity that they never put the Wilhelm scream on a commtech chip........though I can't remember did Boba do the Wilhelm? Might have been one of the Skiffguards as they went into the Sarlacc.

It was a skiff guard -- I just re-watched that scene.

Had to be the same week as new console releases and black friday sales didn?t it lol

Should have skipped the consoles for now, no games to play on them anyway and the price always nosedives if you can be patient enough. And they always eventually improve the launch base model too.

Damn, late to the draw and now BBTS is pre sold out too

That didn't take long. This is the reason it will sell for $800 in a couple years if the show remains strong.

True.

This will never be made again.

Consoles will always be available.

Also resisted the Hot Toys Hulkbuster which Dublin City Comics just had in stock - 1500euro. Someone bought it. I once thought I wanted the HB and considering shipping costs and customs if I bought from abroad that's probably as cheap as I'd ever get it but it's still too much. It's just a big red toy. And I felt that even the impressiveness of its size would be diminished by the 1:4 scale figures in my collection.

I think the look of the Hulkbuster is a gaudy mess compared to Tony's sleek normal suits. It's an eyesore next to the 1-7 suits. Love the Razor Crest design though, I unsuccessfully resisted an extra.

Don't let this happen to you JYE.

Looks absolutely amazing! I hope the production version looks like that.

Same. As nice as this ship looks I ended up deciding that $350 should be reserved for Hot Toys or vintage. Congrats to all who got this definitive 3.75 Mando toy though.

Hasbro just posted a whole thank you spiel on Facebook, most backers ever blah blah blah, no new extra goodies.

Hopefully it at least gives them the resources to make the productions look like that prototype.

It's such an unnatural scream, very hard to imitate.

We are the resistance! Not buying cool things ftw!

Thanks. Accepting any and all after-the-fact justifications for my decision to pass.

I've heard it in so many films and so much media that it's never occurred to me how hard it would be to mimic that.

This sounds cynical but I'm reminded of the women I chased in my youth. One eventually starts looking for substance and depth over instant gratification. Errr....eventually.

Thanks. Accepting any and all after-the-fact justifications for my decision to pass.

When the Hulkbuster first reared its gleaming head I loved it; thought it was over-the-top and obnoxious in a good way. But I got over it and looking back, I'm very glad I didn't invest in one. Expensive bullet dodged.

(Although I have no idea what re-sale value on one may be, it's one of those items that many shy away from due to space concerns.)
