Picked up some new Hot Wheels Starships Select today at Walmart. The Resistance X-Wing Fighter, First Order TIE Fighter and AT-AT were the only ones I saw at multiple Walmarts.

Supposedly, the Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter, TIE Interceptor and 2 variants, Millenium Falcon and TIE Fighter ( battle damaged) are coming out too or already have.

Thx for the info picked up those 3 at 60/GF WM, that AT-AT is heavy. If you ever see the chase variant Star Destroyer in the wild give it a stash for me still missing that one from the older wave. Looking forward to picking up a N-1 when those are out.

Just received my order of the BS ROTJ 40th Figures Wave 1. This was sent by Entertainment Earth. This is the Endor Leia, Endor Han, Biker Scout, Skiff Lando, and Wicket wave.
Same here love the Biker Scout on that card.

Received 2 TVC Klatoonian Raiders from Amazon. One good card, one bad. Both are getting opened anyway.
I also received my 2 from Amazon one better then the other but I opened them both for the Sailbarge/Skiff.

Wow that came out Awesome it just pops with those color combinations.

Thanks! Originally the school bus yellow color was dark red and it looked good, but didn't pop like you mentioned. I thought about white, but felt it may be too bright to where it'd draw away from the logo. Desiree ended up doing one with just the Mythosaur skull, but I added damage to it kind of like the kill stripes on mine.

I'm loving this Cricut Cutter. I need to get to designing some things to cut out in Sintra.

Will do.

The only I’m missing is the chase variant Razor Crest. May have to go the eBay route.

Two more T-shirts made from my Cricut Cutter...


This one is more subdued than the one I did on Friday. The photo is a little over-exposed for some reason as the logo is actually black, but almost looks grey here. The bed that it's on is actually the same as the one below it. Not sure why it did this.

Today we have a follow up to our rumor report from October 2022 regarding the code name and pricepoint of the Vintage Collection Mandalorian’s N-1 Naboo Starfighter. I’ve been able to confirm the code name is indeed “Bridgeport” and I’ve also found a pricepoint (U.S.) for $131.99 – a bit lower than what I had approximated back then. No word when we’ll be able to see an actual product/render but the sure money is at Star Wars Celebration in April.

Update: The vehicle does include one as-of-yet unnamed figure so hopefully that softens the blow somewhat for those that consider the price to be too high for just a vehicle

Update: Funko will be releasing the Mando w/Grogu on Speeder tomorrow, 2/28, at 10:30am MT on their eBay site. (Note: These eBay releases usually become available on the main Funko shop site within a few days of the original release.)

Hasbro Pulse is taking preorders for the re-release of the TVC Mandalorian (Beskar Armor) VC181 figure. Obviously, to help hype up the soon-to-be-released 3rd season.

But here's the catch, it's listed at the much higher price of $16.99. It was originally listed in 2020 at $12.99.

The BOBF Deluxe Sixth Scale figure set is on Daily Deal at Sideshow today. Wish I had the money to take advantage of it.

Same. Expensive set. Hopefully the massive Modal Nodes profits can go into a TVC cantina to put them in!

No kidding, and it's really only to get the 2-3 instruments that weren't included with the recent Figrin D'an figure.

Weren't these guys Walmart exclusive? I wish Hasbro would rerelease them in TVC outside of a 4-pack.

EE with 10% off:

Edit: Nevermind. I see he had already spread to other sites.

Here's some pics of the items from Galaxy's Edge and Pirates of the Caribbean. Some of these items are Desiree's too. This does not include the two pairs of Mickey ears or the 100th anniversary Crocs Desiree picked up.

  • Custom Savi build lightsaber "Elemental Nature" with blue Kyber crystal (Desiree's) These have changes slightly since the initial release.
  • Custom Savi build lightsaber "Power and Control" with red Kyber crystal (Mine). I see this style has completely changed from what it was initially. It's far more evil looking now.
  • 2 Savi's padded sheaths with straps for sabers. (They are part of the whole experience)
  • Three additional Kyber crystals: Purple (mine), green (Desiree's) & white (Desiree's)
  • Bigg's X-Wing helmet specific to Black Spire Outpost. (Not sure why the center is missing any deco. They're all this way. It doesn't even make sense that it's Bigg's helmet since he's long since dead, but it was only $80, so I couldn't pass it up.)
  • Ceremonial Medallion (Had to get this for my life-size Chewie bust.)
  • Dianoga baby.
  • Souvenir blue/green milk containers. They're identical. Graphics on both sides. (We drank more blue/green milk than I expected we would.)
  • Black Spire Rebel cap (Desiree's)
  • Mythosaur mugs (these are AWESOME!)
  • Mythosaur sculpture (It was only $50, so I couldn't pass it up.)
  • 4 identical Mythosaur coins
  • 3 coasters from Oga's Cantina: 2 Rancor and an Ewok
  • 2 Resistance patches (one for each of us)
  • Black Spire patch (Desiree's)
  • Boba Fett-inspired Mickey ears
  • Savi's pins that represent our saber choice.
  • Pirates of the Caribbean two-sided bandana (Desiree's)
  • Metal Pirates of the Caribbean magnet
  • 4 identical Pirates of the Caribbean silver coins

I need to add an extension to the back of the medallion so that it will fit Chewie better.


I came across the upcoming Black Series Phase II Clone Trooper helmets at a few places and they're the same price as online. I so wanted to pick them up, but we were limited on bag space and carry-ons. We were scrambling at the end to get everything to fit without being over 50 pounds in each bag. I already have two Clone helmets on order, so the only thing I would really be gaining is getting it early. I don't think there was anything special about them.

There was also a blue Resistance X-Wing helmet, but it only came in child size.
