The Final Order Attacks

Although I wish it had modern articulation, I love how modular these guys are. There's several different ways to equip them so you don't just have an army of heavy gunner sergeants lol

When is that new Hasbro Slave I Book of Boba Fett ship going to get released? Weathering looks really good....I have not seen any pre-orders...

It was already listed for preorder if that’s what you mean?

Officially meant to release by April, but most Hasbro Star Wars stuff has been earlier than the release date.

Might get the AT-ST as it's a better paint deco than any that I have. They need to reissue the AT-AT with a decent app aswell.

The bunker is more of an improvement on the original than it may first appear but I'm not sure I'll buy it* - I put away the Carbon Freezing chamber and Tantive corridor recently possibly signaling an end to my display of playsets and dioramas - I might just be sticking to select, well-painted iconic vehicles.

Oh and the other night I spectacularly knocked over my Slave I - everything that could fall off it did and I scratched the canopy. Yay.

due to space issues, I am doing the same. I have the smugglers run MF and I think that may be the best painted vehicle in this scale. It is definitely the centerpiece of my 3.75 collection. I have the old early 200s imperial shuttle which is decently painted. I think I will add whatever nicely painted x-wing is out there and a tie fighter and that will be the end of it. I could consider a new version of the AT-AT if they release one though it would be so large I would need to think hard about it.

Absolutely. I also have it and still get a buzz seeing it - it's the closest Hasbro has come to being ''high-end''. And it's the Falcon, doesn't get more recognizable than that.

The Shuttle is good although I put that away recently. Perhaps just not iconic enough to offset the space commitment. I see the Rebelscummers looking for a bigger one as a Haslab but, well, I'd probably be excluded from that anyway so I won't worry about it one way or another.

A TIE fighter is obviously a must. I've got the last grey one that came out and, provided the wings stay on, it looks great.

For the X-wing I couldn't decide between the recent Luke X-wing and Red Leader's X-wing so I kept both out. Luke's because it's Luke's and Red Leader's because I really love the long, continual red-strip along the nose and also because for some reason the wings on that one, to this day, don't seem to be as floppy and they hold a good ''attack position''. It also has a decent base colour and paint-app and hasn't become discoloured over time unlike my Dagobah X-Wing (the one that came with the plastic swamp weeds).

Not so iconic but which, for now, I've also kept out - the Y-wing with the good paintjob and the long nose-guns, an A-wing and the Cloud Car but if I want to create further space I could lose these. Right now I just don't know what would look better where they are.

The AT-AT is definitely an awkward one to factor into a display - and without a paintjob, basically just the white base colour and some stickers representing ''wear & tear'' I felt it very much looked like the big toy that it is and so I put it in the attic in a previous round of purging. I think I would still buy a new one with a proper paintjob and add the old one to the extensive FS list.
