You'd think someone like Fett, with his background, dealing with the scum of the galaxy, would have trust issues, but he seems like a pretty chill dude. I bet he would give you his guns if you asked him nicely.

I dreadfully think about my life choices every time I have trouble sleeping. Which is basically every night. And sometimes randomly during the rest of the day, without needing to have trouble sleeping, to, uh, get in that mood of morbid self-reflection.Wow, this show has started so badly it’s got people rethinking their fandom, hobbies and very purpose in life. Well, at least it’s influential!
It's okay though, I get over it in a snap and go back to worrying about which overpriced dollies I'm gonna buy.
I tend to ramble. In person, in writing; it is a flaw, but what can you do.
God, I wish I could do that. I have figures in my wish list where the motivation behind wanting them amounts to "yeah, I have like 30 issues of this guy's comic book run; gotta have it, I'm in too deep to go back now, gotta commit, gotta get it". It's funny, when I started this hobby I wanted maybe one, two, three figures tops from each property. I would've been happy with a Spider-Man, a Baleman & a Ledger, a Vader and Emperor, you know, the classics. I fantasized about some X-Men and the such, but I had clear plans. Then I started widening the rules, so to speak. Vader became "all the Sith", which became "just the Jedi & Sith" which became "just the Force Users and some supporting characters and some Imperials". Batman became "Bale, Ledger and maybe the Armoury from Nolan, AK Batman, AK Scarecrow, AK Catwoman, the Al'Ghuls, maybe Hugo Strange and Riddler". And so on and so forth. The more I list the less special each figure becomes. But I can't really stop, as I'm now thinking with displays. Ugh, sometimes I find myself wishing for bad casting of my B-List wants so that I can skip a figure. God heard me it seems, and he ruined Kang for me...Disney/KK: "Now how do we do the opposite of that?"
Well watching all of the Disney material since the buyout, I have sold 99% of my SW stuff! EU stuff was the best and well now...
HT is more likely to make Hobo Neo & Pimp Morpheus, then skip entirely on a Revolutions/Reloaded Neo after teasing him alongside Metrosexual Smith. Bald Neo will be the Sideshow Exclusive. 280$ for Keanu Reeves in a t-shirt and a coat please!Don't forget Bald Resurrections Neo!
It's okay, I understand. I'll do it in 90s terms.
Seriously... I'm old I guess.
Han, Obi-Wan and Anakin were radical, hella fly dudes and straight up OGs. Got the *******, the money and the fame. Boba in comparison was a stone cold killer, but he went out like a *****, and looking back, he also looked like a little *****. Now he's a stupid, middle aged little *****. Luke was a scrub who talked ****, got hit, then turned into a wicked dude. Kylo was a punk *** little ***** who threw tard rages. Sheev was straight up crazy; word.
Don't we all... The problem arises when you think, you find the solution, but you cannot take action...
I’m just gonna polish the guns in the backroom right by the exit door. And you know what, the Slave I needs an oil change. Let me just take it to the Dagobah system to get it fixed right up.
He would probably say “ok mate!”
Fett truly is a moron now. Baffles me that it was Favreau who wrote it.
Fett got robbed by Jawas twice in the span of 10 minutes of the show. Doesn’t use his jetpack to escape a circle of shielded enemies. Fires a rocket at shielded enemies from point blank range. Tries to escape one moment then the next day willfully goes back as a prisoner. Willfully gives his helmet up. Doesn’t even buy a protocol droid or steal one for that matter. Apparently he has no henchmen but the two green Gammys.

I'm sure I read The Book of Bob under another title when I was a child...

When Boba Fett was called the most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy, they meant the most dangerous to himself. 
We wanted Boba Fett. We got Boba Binks.When Boba Fett was called the most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy, they meant the most dangerous to himself.
That... actually made perfect sense

They should've made this The Book of Dengar instead.
The activity in this thread after the first episode has been the best thing to come out of The Book of Boba so far !

Such a let down - let's hope it gets better.I knew it. I'm a ******* wordsmith. Fr fr no bussin baka, deadass no cap sheeeeeeeesh.That... actually made perfect sense
Do what I do. Spend your collecting life looking for the best possible representation of the original characters and snobbishly shoo away companies whose commitments to utter perfection seem dubious. You'll have emptier shelves, but a happier wallet.
'Course it also makes you a bit of a curmudgeon, but we're all kind of there at this point, aren't we?
I wish I could, but if I keep being in this collecting game in 20 years searching for the perfect Vader and Doom and whatever else, I'll never be done. And I want to draw a line to such collections. I can't keep going indefinitely. This is why it's important to buy the necessary figures as they come out, so that by the decade's end, I'd have built my small museum. It's what I did with videogames. I stopped with the PS3 era. Everything else I got for PC. But I more or less stopped gaming about a decade ago, with some exceptions. This, collecting 1/6th, isn't something I can be doing in my 50s. I'm doing it to 'cap off my childhood' so to speak. By 2035 we might have animatronics or whatever to buy. It might be pretentious, but I cannot see myself being middle aged and having the time and will to try and keep up with all these things. I want some good-to-great representations to act as a time capsule. If I don't draw the line now, I'll be 60 still pulling Iron Man, buying my 76th Doctor Strange statue and waiting to play SoulsBorne 35. I just can't do that.Do what I do.

This is good advice!
But very difficult to heed.
It was aptly demonstrated by the recent arrival of Premier's 'Wasteland Gladiator' - though I knew the risks going in.
It's fun when the risk pays off though, and a company impresses out of nowhere, and you have something of quality that you never expected to own.
Since receiving my first DiD figure in many years, I'm looking forward to more of them, and with more anticipation now than even Hot Toys' releases.
There are some companies that I think of as being committed to their subjects, and the art of replicating them in 1/6, to levels of detail above and beyond that required for normal display: Ace, Alert Line, DiD, LiM and even VTS/DAM when they decide to put the effort in.
Other companies, with good reputations, sometimes cut corners and cheapen themselves, like Hot Toys or Blitzway.
Hot Toys has made some dubious choices since they conquered the 1/6 market and no longer felt they needed to prove themselves with every release.
Then there's companies like Sideshow who are capable, yet often fail to meet the requirements when it comes to head sculpts and paint.

Why not?
If I still enjoy buying figures, reading comics, and playing video games at 40/50/60/70 I will still be doing it.
In my case it's because the completionist mindset would drive me mad. These things will keep going after I die. The fact that I'd not get to see "the end" would not sit right with me. So I have to draw the line somewhere. If I decide where to end, then I can make my peace with it. I could still catch the latest Wars show in 30 years, buy a cool collectible I come across, but this completionism of me having entire TBs filled with SW and adding everything as it's released every day, keeping track of my dolly displays, has to end at some point. My time grows increasingly limited as my responsibilities proportionately increase as well. I cannot see a future where I'll have the time to dissect which of my 25 Vader dollies is the best and how this new version blows the previous one out of the water due to the new lifelike eye-holes. Like I've said before, for me this 1/6th collection is a way to close the chapter on most of these things. I stopped properly enjoying them a long time ago anyhow.

If anyone else is old enough to remember 70s/80s cartoon crossovers this was like Tony Soprano guest starring on Josie & the Pussycats. Too bad Don Knotts is dead.
