A little over a 100 left till we fund!

Someone asked a few pages back about why the patches were included - my assumption is that they are simply a "perception" of a tier to be included. We all would have balked at only two tiers - of course - so they knew they needed to include another - but the pricing probably didn't work out for another figure - or the price of the whole shebang would have gone up. Its just dollars and cents and all about perceived amounts and what you're getting. it was almost certainly a gamble - i mean hey - its better then stickers or cardboard..? eh...ok probably not - but I do get it from the financial point of view. Still hate it though.

My understanding is Hasbro focuses on the attendees with the stock and then web-based purchases are whatever left overstock they have.

Preterna said to expect if to be available roughly AUgust 5th.

And that counter is broken - it just dropped by about 80. So odd.

I just spent the last hour or 2 catching up on the thread from where I left off last night and to see your posts go from "pass pass pass, glad I'll be saving money, I would be kicking myself if I chose this over the Cantina etc." to "so is anyone else having issues ordering the Rattler?" is truly laugh out loud funny. I mean, I figured you would eventually spend $325 worth on multiple Pilot Baronesses alone.

Fomo be like that.

lol at "a proper amulet". We truly are crazy as a fan base.

Looks like the Rattler is going to fund at just about 20 hours and 30 minutes. Not bad at all! Needs 61 more.

Ooh, I hope not. I'll be coming back from camping on the 5th. Not a lot of cell coverage in the North Cascades!

Was just on a Star Wars site I follow, and there was a pic of the Rattler with the story "Do Star Wars Fans Settle For Less Too Often?". It mentions the Rattler versus the Cantina.
As much complaining as we do- we got it pretty damn good.
Sure, SW has been around longer and may be exhausting ideas/ figs... but I'm grateful to have what we have as Classified collectors, brothers and sisters.

There's no way a Death Star playset should not be considered as a Star Wars HasLab. I've said it before, I think a crafty designer could come up with a playset that could be switched between a Death Star or GI Joe Pit setup. Would be guaranteed to bust all previous HasLab records imo.

There's not much to do with Star Wars toys, really. Star Wars collecting has been going non-stop since about 1995 with just a few little breaks here and there. But every now and then, there's something new that catches my eye.

Just the other day I was saying that Black Series wasn't going anywhere, but I absolutely love this new STAP they're doing, mostly for nostalgia reasons.
