1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 010 - The Mandalorian: Heavy Infantry Mandalorian aka Paz Vizla

I think another reason for this went on waitlist so quickly is also because of YouTubers analysing the market and telling us "not to sleep on this figure" and created a hype, too.

At least that's what happened to me

Really dislike this rise in playing market analyzers with Hot Toys on social media. It's like other trend merchandise and vinyl art figures and some clothes and accessories. Once people get wind of the hype how they might turn a profit off these or give them clout, there's fewer available for collectors.

Same. Just because they pass themselves off as experts doesn't mean they are.

Exactly. Thank you.

Glad this board is mostly insulated from things like that as it's more detrimental for collectors not.

You guys sound like grumpy old men. If you want a figure, order it lol.

If it's grumpy to be against speculators and people trying to flip figures solely for profit or people posing as experts to generate social media clout to try to be an influencer, then I'm happy to be grumpy.

Yeah one guy's channel is literally called the Sixth Scale Economist.

Im pretty bullish when it comes to Heavy Mando....more bearish when it comes to the incinerator trooper, Deluxe Boba is a long term hold, we maybe can short the shore troopers...Wait...I thought I was talking stocks...never mind

I’ve seen that channel but I didn’t watch anything.

I avoid watching YouTube reviews aside from a few collectors who I can tell do it because they’re passionate about it. Otherwise it either comes off as disingenuous, based on a desire for views or to sell something.

Wait until the Gamestop exclusive Hot Toys Mando Luke comes out, I'm shorting that one for sure

Oooo good idea!! The GME exclusive we can definitely short. Wonder if sites will limit how many we can buy because of this

Guys I've been meaning to ask, where is everyone getting these custom Mandalorian ID pictures for their signatures?

There’s a limited run of signatures when a new movie or show drops.

I don't really think it's all that surprising. People love their cool Star Wars helmets.

When will this develop into an NFT?

This could be somewhat surprising but Cody selling out should've been on everyone's radar.

Well, my custom Nevarro stand is ready for Paz. Now I just need Chronos1919 to reship what might be left of the figure I bought from him.

 

[jedibear]

That looks great Coco!

It's best to just assume that anything Star Wars that isn't Sequel Trilogy related is going to sell out pretty quick.
