I just put in a request at Marauders Inc. for them to make flame stands that attach to the Jump jet packs (and the Mandalorian Jetpacks) similar to the ones released in last years convention two pack (Grand Slam/Starduster), but I'm probably going to need a little more help convincing these guys that there's a market for such a product. If you guys have a genuine interest in this idea send em' a shout out at....

I don't know if it would be worth it. there's a lot of plastic in those, not to mention the two different colors. when you factor in the amount they would make them in, I have a hard time believing that the flame wouldn't just be less expensive to buy by tracking down the Star Wars figures they originally came with. if a rifle costs $1, imagine how much a flame that is probably 20 time heavier would cost.

I have a few from previous Boba figures and I love 'em. I'd like to get more if at a decent price.
I emailed them.

Hey Folks!
Cool idea! We're currently working on developing "clear" items (ie "laser sword" blades, "laser/gun" blasts, etc.). So if the issues with those can be solved (different material, different prototype process, etc.), can see about getting into "jet blast" stands. If we go forward with the clear items, the small clear items and the jet blast stand won't fit into the same production tool, so the jetblast stand would have to have it's own tool (all items in a tool must be similar thickness). The demand for jet blast stands would have to be overwhelming to warrant the considerable tooling/production expense to justify making the item AND having them available at an affordable price (last thing we all need is to make the item and then have to charge a high price in to attempt to recoup the development/production costs). It is important for Marauder to not only make high quality items, but also AFFORDABLE items. Thanks again for the suggestion and it is on the "official" candidate list! Now just need to get Series #5 in stock! MJ

You can get a boba fet with flames for about $3 plus shipping on ebay pretty cheap if you ask me.

A few months ago I bought several of the Boba Fetts with stands to be used with a mini army of Cobra Air Troopers...
But the Air Troopers are too top heavy for the stands and fall over.... I haven't tried Grand Slam yet... Maybe he does better - I hope so! Gung.Heaux, does the Grand Slam stay upright with no problems? (Thanks for posting the pic!) I was thinking of trying to find a heavy piece of metal or something to glue to the bottom... Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Aire |

Cool I'd love to see some clear/translucent items and blasts. I understand about the flames that's what everyone has been saying. I know Mysterious Stranger modded and casted some flames on the GTG site but I havent herd anything in a while. If we could guarantee so many in a pre order system or a pole maybe some one will look into this more seriously. Always a good idea to get the word out there. Can't wait for series 5
