That is NOT a $110 Nerf blaster! It's a single shot manual load blaster, you can get the full auto magazine fed Halo blaster for $50! There's NOTHING on that blaster that would justify $110 besides the name.

It's a perfect blaster for Cosplay and that's really all it needs.

Not really though, it'd require extensive repainting to be accurate haha

Now for a well timed double entendre of the decidedly non-salacious variety:

I can't wait for the Rancor over this latest attempt to cash in on SW super-fans.

It's looking like the Pulse Rifle is still the only Nerf LMTD blaster that's actually functional beyond plinking. Granted, this isn't even close to the raw deal Mando's blaster was from a foam flinging perspective (though still not war practical) but it'd be nice if they made these things something that could really be used. Why not a fly-wheeler? Or if they're going for a unique drum, how about a longer helical design to drop darts into the chamber and quadruple the dart count? Go with a Mega tube mag?

Like, be creative! You've got a locked-in audience, you're allowed to try new things without risking resources on a blaster that won't sell.

And from the "cosplay" angle, this is... really not good. I imagine the people going for this release over others would be people looking specifically for the Morrison Fett blaster, because there are a ton of options for OT Fett blasters out there that would require just as much paint as this one would to look the part, and at literally a quarter of the price. For this much money, you might as well go unlicensed and get something off Etsy that's already in the right colors (and not wait 14 months)!

Premium packaging lol... well it looks cool.

I’m kinda surprised there doesn’t seem to be much fett stuff out on the shelves now or it’s being bought up before I ever see it

[ThorOdinson123]

no interest in this overpriced thing. Call me when the Tython Black Series wave goes up for pre-order on Amazon gamestop etc

[zonedweeby]

toys like this are overpriced now because they're not marketed to kids anymore. manchildren have engineered our own destruction.

Slowly but surely Boba Fett is becoming less and less cool. Maybe they should have done the same thing with Boba that they did with Yoda... keep everything about him a complete mystery... and also not turn his gun into a nerf gun.

I don't know how many units of this EE-3 blaster they made versus the Aliens Pulse Rifle, but I remember the Pulse Rifle sold out on the first day, whereas this EE-3 is still available after a day. Perhaps the Hasbro Star Wars team once again over-estimated how much money people are willing to pay for an over-priced Star Wars item.

“Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Hasbro.”

Lol it's begun.

Get out your pitchforks. While we're at it - homes are wildly over-valued pricing out huge swaths of the electorate (not to mention setting the stage for another precipitous implosion), childcare is drastically unaffordable for most Americans (raising your kids with a tablet will support our steady manufacture of sociopaths), the cost of collegiate education is criminally high (making access to the rungs of the ladder of upward mobility a cruel joke at this point), and we pay more for our phones than we do computers. This isn't inflation as much as it is the sum result of greed and avarice. But, priorities....

Your memory is off as the Pulse Rifle was made-to-order like the rest of the LMTD line and freely available for a month and a half. I placed additional M41-A orders throughout the order window, including one on the last day like 45 days after it went live. I got half a dozen of them by the end!

I have no idea how much additional product is made to fulfill retail orders (like all the Mando blasters on Amazon or Gamestop) but they'll keep taking your orders in the meantime.

Shhh! We definitely don't want people to realize that having your feel-good hobby of toy collecting turning into a massive time- and money-sink that actually introduces stress into your life instead of relieving it is super unhealthy and we're on the verge of a major bubble burst... reality has no place in toys! :P

^lol it's all one soupy mess now.

That's how conspiracy works right?
