Just when you think you've seen it all, Amazon is selling licensed hard drives from Seagate. There's a 2TB Beskar slab, another 2TB model with Mando on the face, and an internal 2TB SSD Beskar drive. You know, so you can really appreciate the decoration on it. As these are Amazon affiliate links, we may get a comission as a percentage of the sale prices of any items you may purchase.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Clone Captain Rex (The Bad Batch, The Vintage Collection). It's an Amazon exclusive that was really hard to order, and then marked down after it started to ship. The 4-pack is $55.09 as I write this. Read on!
Via eBay (thanks Mouse): Rebel Blockade Runner vintage style playset kit 3d printed 5 feet long!! Nothing Hasbro or Lucasfilm will announce this month could possibly be more mind-blowingly preposterous than this awesome $599.99 plus shipping vehicle seemingly forged in a 3D printer specifically for your old Kenner figures. It's an upsized dream of an unrealized vehicle.
It's massive, and just seeing an old X-Wing Pilot Luke absolutely swallowed by the massive cockpit is just an insane sight to behold. It's almost too big - someone should send me one, of course. You really owe it to yourself to check this out.
Wasting seemingly no time, Amazon marked its exclusive Star Wars The Vintage Collection OBI-Wan Kenobi Multipack Toys, 3.75-Inch-Scale Action Figures, Kids 4 and Up, Multicolor (F7790) down to $45.49, down from $50.99. If you don't have one yet, it might be worth getting it - or waiting to see if it gets even cheaper. Click here to see if it's still on sale.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: George Lucas (in Stormtrooper Diguise, The Black Series). Mine cracked right out of the box, and the helmet doesn't seem to fit - so if you're thinking maybe you would leave it in the box, I would follow that instinct. The head sculpt isn't bad, but it's clearly meant to be left in the packaging. Read on!
UPDATE: Sale is over. What a deal! Amazon has its long-named NERF Star Wars Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster, The Mandalorian, Scope with Illuminated Lens, 10 Darts, Blaster Sounds, 50.25 Inches Long - how descriptive - for $49.95 until... we don't know when. But it's $49.95 right now. Sounds like a great gift for the kid or the Star Wars fan site writer in your life.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Droids, The Black Series). The first time Hasbro has released Vlix in the United States! He's on the packaging twice. There's also a Boba Fett in the box, but you'll take note of Vlix on the back and in the front flap. Also this is the 2013 Boba Fett figure painted to look like his animated armor, which is excellent, but Hasbro has proven they know Vlix exists so now they can make a figure... right?
(Coincidentally, Target revealed two more exclusive 3 3/4-inch Boba Fetts today, but I digress.)
This week in Q&A - Implosion! Is it all going to be over soon? Probably not - but we are out of questions in the mail bag, so I'll be taking a Q&A break until January. Send those queries in if you got 'em!
...so of course I'll go on a ramble about retro stuff to fill some space.
Be sure you send in your questions for 2023. The mailbag is out of questions, so if you got some, send some in. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Koska Reeves (The Vintage Collection). As a repaint with a new head, she's kind of fantastic - articulation is good, paint is good, accessories are what they should be. I have no real complaints here. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: IG-88 (and Dengar, The Retro Collection). The droid shares parts with Hasbro's Kenner's IG-11, which means it's a much less sharp release than the original from the 1980s. However, the orange paint is much more generous - so at a distance, this is the one that looks better. If you get close, you'll see a lot of the sculpted lines aren't quite as impressive as an actual old IG-88 though. Even if you have an original, this is a variant that's arguably interesting enough to pick up.

This week in Q&A - Hasbro allowing a slice of its licensing? Probably not. You'll love this one, it's about Kenner so you know it's verbose. Also Classic Mandalorians. Well, sure.
