I'm not pulling the trigger on the Haslab Hiss until I see the value.



It did dawn on me, last night, that I don't really like Hisstank drivers much. So I suppose I could re-sell the two announced figures for a decent part of the overall expense.

Beach TBS snow speeder is the only 6? scale non-figure thing I have other than the dewback and it?s a fabulous build. I go to to hang in my Star Wars room and since it comes with Dak I think you will like it a lot.

Unfortunate byproduct that I have is I freaking dig the Hiss tank drivers. If a stretch goal involves more of them with other driver and viper types I?ll be screwed but I can sell off the tank if I want to. $300 is stuck on Rancor land for me where it?s not enough without awesome add ins.

And haslab seems to hold value pretty well, so I think it's a safe bet from that standpoint.

Thanks for the feedback regarding the new Haslab guys. Sounds like great minds thinking alike, here.



Troop, thanks for reaffirming my Snowspeeder purchase today. I regret not buying it on sale when I had the chance. It's stock seems to be rising ( that said, watch me find a pallet of them at Ollies for $40 this summer, lol).

So, since I sold one of those two Rey Lightsabers I scored for cheap, for good money...I figured what the hell and cracked open the other one. Regardless what you may feel about Rey, or the new trilogy, or the idea of a yellow light saber....This thing is seriously bad ass. I currently have Kit Fisto's green light saber, and this Rey saber blows it out of the water.



First of all, it is VERY heavy, and feels great in hand. Second, it has fabric wrapped around the hilt (a call back to her quarterstaff, and a nice touch). Third, when first ignited, it flickers green and blue at the base, before turning yellow. Fourth, there is a button on the hilt where you can activate a blaster deflecting effect (other sabers only do this randomly). Fifth, you can hold down that button to cause a molten lava effect, where the tip turns multi-colored. Also, the part where the saber attaches to the hilt looks badass.



I probably shouldn't have opened this, because now I don't want to sell it.

That's cool! I dig the yellow blade because it's an awesome nod to original Luke figure, & because I don't give a shit about nerd reasons not to like it.

So if you squeeze it the tip changes color?

Just like any long, hard object.
