Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,065: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection).Boba Fett returned from the dead a few times, and this one is based on Dark Empire from 1991-1992. If you pre-ordered it, you likely paid $2 more than it costs in the store right now - which is a lot - but it is a pretty nice figure. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Revisiting the Disney Era for new toys! Should you get your hopes up? Never hope. And what about The Book of Boba Fett? Hope is a lie.
Also meanderings about fall trade shows, the new movie that probably isn't coming, and some other stuff.
Be sure you send in your questions. We have no questions for next week's update, which may mean I get a break. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tala Durith (Imperial Officer, The Black Series). They did a good job making this character as a figure, but packing her at two per case might have been a bit much. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: BB-YOU (2023 Pride Collection) . He's from the earlier this year - but basically looks like a regular BB-8 with a little extra color. It's OK. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Your Mission Fleet, should you choose to accept it is... to not have a lot of stuff to buy. And Halcyon Figures are things I could use and don't see sold elsewhere just yet.
Let's also speculate wildly on The Ghost of HasLab Yet to Come - anniversaries are on the horizon and Hasbro has tried a new one almost every year since the debut of the Barge (minus 2019.) So what should we guess might be coming down the road?
Be sure you send in your questions. New York Toy Fair - really! - is coming up later this month, too. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (Prototype, The Retro Collection). It looks neat - and he came and went somewhat quickly. I'd say get him for the blasters, if they weren't pre-stressed in the package (at least in my case.) Read on!
UPDATE 6:28 PM PACIFIC: Zeb is now included and at 19,719 (and counting) with 2 1/2 hours to go, the Ghost is fully funded with all stretch goals.
In an impressive 11th hour showing, the Star Wars The Vintage Collection The Ghost is in the midst of a morning-ending surge of new orders. As of now (11:51 PM Pacific) it has 16,741 backers - that's twice the initial goal, and 259 away from unlocking the final stretch goal for Zeb.
The crowdfunding campaign ends today.
With few new vehicles announced other than some Speeder Bikes and Mando's N-1 Starfighter (pre-orders processing now), it might be a worthwhile addition to a room if you've got one. It's a big ship - bigger than Millennium Falcon-sized, if you're keeping track - so you'll want to be sure you make some space and sell some stuff down before it arrives. You won't, because you're like me, and also a procrastinator/hoarder.
Anyway, this thing ends at midnight Eastern / 9:00 PM Pacific. Do you dare take a third vehicular plunge? Secondary market prices for Razor Crest seem to be a little lower - you can find them in some local toy, collectible, and record shops - so I would be hesitant to recommend this ship as an investment piece in 2023. Of course, who knows what appearances it may have on a hypothetical current or future season of Ahsoka or a movie? I don't. So I ordered one, so I can play with it with the Kenner figures we know we're getting.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tuken Chieftan (Tusken Raiders, The Vintage Collection). He's from the boxed set! And he's pretty decent, but not perfect - peak "that'll do" as figures go, complete with a nice staff. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - HasLab vs. Not HasLab - is there any reason to it? Maybe. Also Stretch Goals - it's worth noting that The Ghost ends this week, so you - and I - should put in our orders.
Be sure you send in your questions. We have no questions for next week's update, which may mean I get a break. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (and Grogu, The Black Series). It's a new Luke, that looks like old Luke, which is based on a fake Luke, and it's pretty decent. Read on!
