^ Truly amazing! I love the Droids/Jawa shelf the best. And its awesome you let the Arcane crew hang out near the Razor Crest... absolutely loved Arcane on Netflix.

Thanks. That is the result of 12 years of collecting. I do it with my two boys. Star Wars is my first collection. I have another identical shelving unit that is also jam packed with Marvel, Spiderman, DC, GI Joe, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park (that shelf exploded and is now mostly on the floor), Tron, Star Trek, Predator, Terminator, Fortnite (also a lot on the floor), Hell Boy, and other video game and TV figures. It is full, so that is why the Arcane figures are on the stand with the Razorcrest. I try and keep different IPs separate, but I have run out of room. I need more shelves, and I really like the store display cases I got. I just have to find more of them.

People that live around you have never found any of the troop builders! Ha ha.

Before the pandemic, I used to travel a lot for work. So I spread my buying of troop builders around so that I would not impact just one area. Sustainable troop building I guess you can call it.

Wow that takes me back. That Luke was my absolute favorite Star Wars figure growing up. I'd love to see it redone some day.

Me too! It's a really really cool design that I desperately wish had an update at some point over the years with even only SLIGHTLY better articulation lol.

This is the (cheapskate) way

MeLikeJinx · 03-09-2022, 07:58 PM

^ That's awesome! How did you do that? Did you just cut a hole in the front seat? I definitely want to try that since I find the Mission Fleet Razor Crest to be a perfectly acceptable substitute. I'm also thinking the Mission Fleet Gauntlet is good enough for Bo Katan too maybe since Vintage Bo Katan is already kind of tiny.

Funny I was thinking that about the gauntlet and the xwing and bens ship.

Thank you Yeah it was super easy I just drilled out a space for his legs with a large drill bit. It might be easier to take out the 2 screws holding the cockpit in place and drill those out

^ He's trying to be like Reaper from Overwatch... instead of reloading he just throws away his pistol and uses another one.

Also the Jawa in that shot is awesome... he actually looks scandalized. LOL.

EDIT:Also, also... just realized my Reaper joke doesn't even make sense because the pistol shoots lasers. Haha.

snake5289 · 03-12-2022, 04:20 PM

Awesome shot for sure but it reminded me that Gamestop still says TVC Boba I ordered is releasing March 1st. I'm guessing they got something wrong with the release date?

Was hoping no one would notice I forgot to swap holsters lol ????

Guess I'll go photoshop that part!!

Man he better not be dead.

He should be dead, dude's not gonna get a better death than at Boba's hands. Stone cold badass loner who was stuck in his ways getting offed by someone who used to be the same way but has since embraced community and grown from it is pretty thematically pleasing. Plus, do we really want to diminish his standing by assuming that he was prepared to do a fake prolonged death gurgle just to get Boba off his back? Finally there are too many fake deaths in Star Wars at this point, let's not keep adding to the stack.

MeLikeJinx · 03-15-2022, 09:18 PM

^ I hope he's not dead... IMO he started in animated form and should die in animated form. I think Filoni created him though, so if Filoni is okay with Cad Bane being dead... he dead.

Yes, Filoni created him and then Filoni was also an executive producer on the Boba Fett series as well as writing and directing the sixth episode (where Cad Bane debuted in this show) so he was certainly involved enough to be in the know and evidently okay with it. Filoni was going to have Cad Bane killed by Boba Fett in the Clone Wars cartoon if that had continued so he might even have been the one to propose doing it here instead. I like Cad Bane well enough that I'd like to see more of him, but giving him this definitive ending doesn't mean we'll never see him again in other projects. Obi Wan Kenobi died in the very first part of this franchise ever, but we've still gotten a ton of appearances from him.

Just got this in the mail today and it's quickly become one of my favorite SW figures. It's just so awesome to play around with. Probably doesn't hurt that I've been a Maul fanboy since I first saw him in the Phantom Menace trailer way back when.

And I also see how damn dirty my table is. Sorry about that.

I hope he gets a non-exclusive black series 6 inch fig

After playing it off and on for about a week and a half I finally finished Jedi Fallen Order today. Fun game. Even though I knew it was coming that Vader appearance at the end was so cool. I loved the customizable lightsaber but some unlockable costumes would've been nice though. All the ponchos weren't cutting it. Glad to hear they're doing a sequel.
