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.

love it, great display

Thanks. Funny thing is, when the coin change machine showed up and I took it outta the box, I teared up. Really took me back, but I dunno why that particular piece did that. None of the others did.

That is correct but she happened to be standing in front of my favorite arcade game so it was a good excuse. 

Mine too. I need a bigger house so I can get some!

That's Figuarts Zero Nami. Was trying to find figures that scaled properly. Unfortunately, Marvel Legends and such are just a tad too big.

Haha, that would be cool but I just don’t see the value in coin op games with the great ports and emulators that exist.

Ah, One Piece. I should have known! Great setup, thanks for sharing!

I'd do a few classics that I like a lot like Galaga, Sinistar or what was that fighting game called? Not Streetfighter, not Mortal Combat. It had the one guy with the two tomahawks and a Mohawk?? Great fighting came. I'm flaking on the name though. EDIT: Figured it out. Killer Instinct. 

What I REALLY want are pinball games.

I think I could probably find some model pinball machines too. Hmm. I didn't play very much pinball though. I stuck to the video games, mostly.

Killer Instinct was pretty sweet. I almost bought one of those mini arcade Rolling Thunders but not being an arcade port is a deal breaker.

Yeah, I didn’t get into pinball until a lot later.

I would love to have a nice prebuilt model of the Buck Rogers Starfighter. I know the Chronicle one is out there, but don't have that kinda cash. Hopefully someone will make one.

Nice Boba Fett helmet.

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? :unknw:

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!

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)?

@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.

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