Thanks for the update. Not a fun situation, but nice to see it worked out in the end.

Can't complain when they gave me what was more or less a 10% discount either.

I got weak 'coz Target has it in at the moment; cancelled my BBTS PO.

Should be here Saturday.

All gone... in my AO at least. Congrats!

Crisis averted.

I had this as well but I think you did better than me 10 pound is worth almost double $10AU!

Plus I re-ordered from somewhere else!

I've picked up another po for this as a precaution. Its a jungle out there!

It is. Now it's unavailable again at Target, anyway.

EVENTUALLY there will be a zillion of these made, but I just wanna get mine.

Edit:

And I got mine. It's awesome for the price. Surprisingly heavy. EVERYONE needs one....



Deserves all the good things said. If u can afford, get a second, because anyone visiting is gonna wanna put it on.

Indeed! Lol Seems like trickle at first... par for the course I guess...

Nice score there Sass! How do you plan on displaying it?

How does this compare to the EFX helmets?

It's about $600 cheaper so it doesn't.

I understand that. The only experience I have is with the EFX helmets. Are they good for $100?

^ That looks great! Very nice pics.
I’m not familiar with these at all but I think I’ll be preordering the Mando helmet. I think it will be a nice addition to go with the 1/6 Mando collection.

Not the best solution but for now, using a giant jug that held popcorn kernels. The wide mouth of the jug holds pretty well. But I think a paper towel holder would be better and give more height.

Any retailers currently have this in stock that possibly ship to Canada? I'm getting a little anxious to get this one in. Not willing to pay the stupid Ebay prices!

Looks great! Way more reflective than expected.

It seems like it has surprised a lot of us how it's turned out. I think it will be impressive on the shelf in a Mando display! I cannot wait!!

Cool, I've been using a towel dispenser that has good base dimensions, height, and only uses one pole, some of them have a second post for tension against the roll. I hope they don't change or discontinue this model... best to stock up I guess?

Also, trying to find a half round foam piece to use as a topper for the pole, and provide a small amount of customizable height to level out different helmets. I saw a workout/fitness 36" Medium Density Foam Roller on Amazon that might work good to trim sections off for this application. It seems like a lot of little variables to take into account. The helmets sure look cool when they have a slight amount of forward cant to them, especially the Fett and Trooper. Ya, just trying to get it all sorted out before my Mando helmet comes in.

Yeah, if u have something that works, if u can afford it I'd stock up; and a towel dispenser can probably be used for other stuff if needed so the money isn't wasted anyway.

I'm gonna have to play around with mine; right now the jug at least keeps the bottom edge up. This is just an EXCELLENT release for this price point IMO. Impressive paint and you can play with it; I thought it was surprisingly heavy too.

Still waiting on GameStop to get these in, so much for 4/1. I?d guess now it?ll be closer to other site and will be sometime in June

Ditto. It's been exactly one month since their "shipping soon" email...
