Picked up a loose 1/72 Cheyenne Dropship, by Aoshima.. This thing weights a brick! I wish Aoshima would have continued their sci-fi diecast line.

Great pick! My favorite Dropship of all times. Managed to get 2 of those and 3 APCs via eBay years ago at reasonable prices as compared to where those went up by now. It‘s really high quality and looks so good on display.

I used the same GI Joe Classified CI Baroness and a different receipt to get another Baroness price adjusted for $20 at Target.

Hot Wheels.

Dang, how are you finding all these Baronesses? Targets near me have been empty, other than seeing a Firefly once on pegs.

Oh damn, I've been eyeing that sucker.  I too would like to be the ruler of Mandalore. 😲

Seems like there might be a line and I may not be hoping it much longer based on the competition. But…

😁 Seriously though, it’s a nice piece. My only complaint is I wish they made the blade sturdier and better looking. I think they could have accomplished both by maybe using a solid translucent black part for the center or something like that.

Quite envy your multiples. :good: Now I’m looking for an APC too, but perhaps not at current crazy prices.

There’s just something very satisfying handling a toy or model piece that’s mostly metal; the weight, cold surface & feeling of robustness..

Is the nose gun missing, or was it broken off? :huh:

The long nose gun (or is it some sort of antenna?), is missing. So are the retracted landing gear doors.

It so happens if I want to display it in flight mode, the landing gear door cavities make great resting places for the Flightpose tips. But there’s the issue of whether or not Flightpose can taking the weight of the Dropship over the long term…

Nice! :good: 

Is that your actual figure? Are you the one who took the picture? Hence, it's not you in the pic. ;)

I didn’t find Baroness in the store.  The 2 Baronesses that I price adjusted were from online orders.  She currently scans on the price scanner for $20 at my Target.  I brought the item to Target with the receipts on 2 separate days and did a return and repurchase at customer service.  Just like the Toys R Us days of price adjusting.

It looks crazy heavy, perhaps more than a real monitor lizard of its size..

LOL great meme.

Good to know.  I'll have to weigh that into my decision when I decide whether or not I get one.  I was hoping it was of the same quality as the old Master Replicas FX sabers.

I never got any of the old Master Replicas but I’m guessing the hilt on this is superior to them. The hilt is a pretty amazing piece with great detail and feels like it’s made of solid billet metal. My honest take is it’s a great display piece and that’s what I want it for and that’s what it will be 99.9% of the time. Picking it up and holding it is nice because of the hilt. Swinging it around is all good too but I wouldn’t be doing any play battling with it except very carefully against soft items. I feel the dollar value should be under $100 but we all know everything is overpriced so the $200+ I paid feels reasonable and I’m already planning to order the Rey saber. That should be the last one for me though.

Superb pic!! I was really on the fence on this Figma Motoko, skipped it in the end but I might just regret it down the road..

Thanks! If you have any of the others, you know what you’re getting. This one seems to have tighter joints and overall fit but ymmv. I actually panicked and bought this as a second one just in case something happens to my original order. Mandarake had it unopened for less than preorder price but after shipping it was probably a bit more than my original order. Did not want to miss out on this version.

That Watcher build-a-figure is cool.

Just wish it was available separately, with out having to buy a bunch of useless figures you don't want.😝

Good thing I like all of the figures in the wave.

So if you buy a BAF only they automatically put you on the back burner?

Maybe they sent out cases and full sets first.  I also ordered a loose Watcher from them but didn’t receive it yet.
