Got a ton of stuff that I haven’t had time to check out but this one is the most important. 
 

 

Waited my whole life for something like this! It does not disappoint.

I guess it's not really a toy, but I found an old handheld Coca-Cola radio that works well as a soda machine for my miniature model video arcade.

 

Cool.  Is that the DST 1/15 Time Machine.

Time to put this along side with your HT 1/6th ROTJ Fett as I know that the helmet is painted in ESB colours anyways.  

Maybe Hasbro might do one for Jango/Din J'Arden/Sabine Wren/Jodo Kast?

Yeah, I might need a complete section for a Boba Fett shrine at this point. Got the Disney blaster, statues and countless figures. 
Hasbro just teased a Din helmet I think and there is that all white prototype that just opened for preorder. I may end up with all of them.

Yep. It is amazing. The previous helmets I have are great too but this one stepped it up another notch.

Yep, it is. I got lucky with this one, though. Found it on eBay with the DeLorean and Goodyear Eagle GT decals already applied. What's a good sealer for waterslide decals? The tire decals have already flaked a little which is fine because it looks more authentic, but I don't want them to disintegrate completely.

Now if only I had a properly-scaled Marty. NECA's coming out with theirs, but it's too big. ReAction's too small.

That thing is beautiful! I'm wondering if it's nice enough to make the people who bought the EFX Collectibles version feel some buyer's remorse. It's that good.

Yeah, like I said, I’ve waited my whole life for this. I’ve seen many of the other versions that have come out before and none of them could justify their asking price to me. This one, I would have paid more for (like $150). It’s the first BS helmet I paid retail price for because there was no way I was going to miss it but if it goes on sale like all the others, I will definitely buy another.

Agreed. $120 is very, very reasonable for quality like this. Aside from cheap Halloween costume-type helmets, I don't think any of the Boba Fett collectible helmets were this affordable in the past. If they were, I wasn't aware of them.

Sweet looking man! I collected Star Wars many moons ago and if I still did, this would be a must.

Yeah, there has never been anything that looked this good even at 3 times the cost that I know of. I just realized the rangefinder has a removable panel so you can actually see through it to “acquire targets”. That is attention to detail and paying fan service to its finest.

Thanks! I consider it to be a must have for any Star Wars or Boba Fett fan. Even at only $120, it is one of the top jewels of my collection. Now, I just need the rest of the outfit, lol!

@Slave IV Seeing your Boba Fett helmet got me interested for a moment and I would have gotten it if it was available at Dorkside.  Now sold out so it wasn’t meant to be.  It’s all good though.

[borgified]

Din A'Jarden's Helmet was not announced @Slave IV. 

It was just a posting of a cos-play version that was posted on Pinterest/Instagram and maybe Reddit. 

The Concept version (proto-Fett) has been shown, however is the pre-order for that one been announced at all (don't seem to recall anything on that version)?

@sh9000 Is getting it from hasbro pulse not an option?

Yeah, I think you will get other chances at it. I'll let you know if I end up ordering another.

Din wasn't announced but it was teased with a rumor I guess: 

 

 

[borgified]

That's the one @Vertex. 

I must have skipped over that announcement. 

I might order the ESB Fett helmet sometime soon. I've got two things to be dropped at my house this month and another one in June. 

Time to make a Boba Fett Shrine as well!

Do it!

It was hard to get a good shot but here is a view from inside the helmet and looking through the rangefinder.

@borgified I'm more of an Imperial at heart as you can see in the pic  but I'm giving some serious consideration to getting to proto-fett helmet. (BTW - most recent Macross related purchase can be seen at bottom of pic).

Sweet! I’m in on Biker Scout and AT-AT driver helmets for sure! If BS makes them.

[Slave IV]

Also got these

 

At first I though the Disney one was bigger but they look very close to the same size. Almost like they share the same mold. But the Disney one has better paint apps and weighs about 3 times more and cost less. Disney wins!

[derex3592]

Where does one acquire the Disney one??? @Slave IV

Disney stores. I got mine at the online Disney store but it looks like they are OOS right now. It says it’s limited so not sure if they will get more.

Some recent acquisitions:

A new year, new sentai mech to collect.

At just about 2 feet long, the SSD hardly counts as a mini, even in game it’s designed more to be like a boss battle.

[DYRL VF-1S]

Bad lighting but I think you know who these two are. Took me awhile to set up but dayum these are great! So much so I had to pick up the original Matchbox Vehicle Voltron for nostalgia. That one is on its way. 

[derex3592]

Great setup!  I absolutely love the SOC Voltrons! 

I just picked up my 1st BUT NOT LAST New Age (Thundercracker) Transformer. OMG!!! This company knows that they are doing!  These little guys are amazing!!! Very high quality and crazy good transformation and G1 look and great articulation for their size!  In lieu of HM-R Macross, I'm all in for this line!

Thanks! I think I have them all in either original or reissue now except VT-1 and VE-1. I haven’t done the GBP yet though. And I don’t have Roy with fast packs.  I don’t plan on doubling down on OG vs Reissue. Where I can get the reissue, I’ve just gone that route because I think they’re better.
