I might have to go with BBTS this time but it's way more then Sideshow especially for the standard but I'm sure it's better then Sideshows shipping.
 
Might have to get him at BBTS though he is higher in price then Sideshow he will probably be around $350 at SS then BBTS as they have $4 shipping.
 
I’m pretty sure BBTS factors in the cost of shipping in their pricing to make up for the $4 flat rate. They ship out some pretty big Piles of Loot; adds up fast even in the CONUS.

I still order from them and they are generally reliable with good service. But they do price things higher, though you will ultimately likely pay less than Sideshow after shipping.

I went with Timewalker for the deluxe, as I try to do with most figures. They required a deposit on it, which is rare for a Hot Toys figure but the price must’ve surpassed the threshold where they require it.

It was up for a bit longer than I expected, but went fast as always. Worth jumping on the wait list within a few days though, while they finalize the number of allocations they receive.

I just can’t comfortably buy from Sideshow these days after the more frequent reports and my own experience of receiving what felt like an opened figure in the non shipper box. That’s a policy they need to bin ASAP.
 
Why would you even pose him without his helmet in a combat pose? He’s a Mandalorian. Every time we’ve seen his face you can tell it’s an extremely hard thing for him to do. I think the sculpt is perfect.
Doubt he's going keep his Helmet on every scene in season 3

Yeah, he’s likely to have his helmet off more often now.

The Season 3 version will probably have a sculpt with a more neutral expression, or maybe a more aggressive one.

I think the Season 2 Brown Eyes sculpt is appropriate for the episodes they’re meant to represent. I’m glad they didn’t give him a bland neutral expression.
 
I'm calling it first:

Once received, there will be gnashing of teeth as some find scratches on the chrome-plated parts due to packaging, shipping, etc...

The great "Brandolorian Debacle".
You are just worrying too much there out of 1000 chance of getting a damage package i doubt it a common problems
 
"Glad I waited" people are nuts.

Why go for this one? Might as well wait for S3. Actually wait, S4.... ***** it wait until the show is over for the ULTIMATE mando.

I mean we have to wait 2 years for this version anyways, might as well have a Mando on the shelf for now.
 
It’s usually the same thing that happens with almost every figure. Not necessarily here, but especially on their social media.

Tell that to the Iron Man crowd. Some of us just want one version and if I waited this long, I can wait longer. There is an open preorder through shipping at least, so I will still be able to see what S3 holds before I pony up.
 
Looks really good! However, now that my hype for the show has died down, I don't think I want a Mando as bad as I thought. Nice to finally get a Pedro Pascal sculpt though and oddly, I think the price for the deluxe is ok-ish I guess. Can't keep holding on to the days of old prices any longer I guess :lol
 
So…. Many….. Grogu’s! Between the V2 Deluxe, Ahsoka Deluxe, this Deluxe AND the swoop (those are just the ones I have/will have. I know there’s more)… it’s madness! I kinda wouldn’t mind if they nixed the Grogu from the swoop and shaved off some dollars. I don’t think I need 6 Grogu’s but hey, I guess I can use one with Luke and R2 and then use the rest for a Gremlins-esque setup 🤣
 
The only part that really burns after buying the V1 is the chrome armor. If this release was the same with just all the extra accessories, it'd be easier to just pick up a HS or something but.... guess that's how they get ya. Damn the chrome looks cool. :|
