Whoo!! Got mine a couple days ago, swapped an extra shriek hawk mando with the red helmet included. Just ordered a light kit so I can get the forge lit up. I'll post pics in the FB group in the coming days.
Pity about the lack of paint apps, but the new Armourer figure and details of the set look far more interesting than I was expecting. The functional helmets are a nice inclusion. Good review as always, cheers!
It looks good from a distance..but on close inspection it's very plain..Ian's one smashed it out of the park..looks like wrought iron. The figure though was a nice suprise with the soft pelt...I'm going to have to figure out how to fix the unfinished top of the display though..cheers Tim🍺🍺🍻
The Armorer should come pre-roughed up! I mean, they already give us those "circles of death" on the cards. Go the extra mile why doncha, Hasbro #HasbroShouldRoughUpOurTVC
Thanks for the review! This playset is an easy pass for me. As much as I enjoy The Mandalorian, this location only appears briefly in a few scenes. Not particularly interesting as something I want for my collection, but I do appreciate your video, very informative!👍
Needs a wash but it’s almost worth it for the Mando heads alone. I like how you used a S1E1+2 Mando body. Like his armor was passed down to a new foundling.
How tall is it Tim, looks about 12" tall? Mine are on the way hope it fits in my display case without having to remove glass separating the compartments. Agree with you about the paint app, they could have sprayed it with a textured mud brown to make it look more earth like. But still a really cool piece.
Tim, an excellent review. Storage , accessories, and playability. I try to temper my expectations as it is a playset rarher then a diaroma. Paint apps being sacrificed for the soft goods? Or is it just the corporate cost cutting in general? ✌️
I had to order this again as I checked on Pulse and my order disappeared. Sadly all my pre orders have been shipped recently by DHL which takes me an extra week to receive anything.
Hey Tim, sweet pickup and review. Mine came today and I think I’m only interested in the figure. My question is, does the fur cape come on her in the bubble. It’s really hard to tell on mine. I was looking through the accessories in the baggies but didn’t see it there. Thanks for your help
A pretty solid offering. Nice to see Hasbro producing a couple of gems (Blurgg) from an otherwise pile of repacks and repainted plop 2024 (imperial paint Chopper, K2SO for some reason!?). Won't buy 2 though. Will jut use a spare Season 1 Armourer.
I have one of these on the way. You are right, the base piece looks too plasticky, at least looking at yours. It really could have done with some weathering or deco to make it look more natural.
Looks solid…part of me feels like Hasbro is going to keep letting the regular releases lose paint apps…this somewhat allows those collectors out there who like the customization and world building to do some of the work themselves…not saying I agree with Hasbro, but it sure seems like the lack of weathering is now part of for the course
More than likely, everything vintage collection is geared towards serious collectors. Within those collectors, there are customizers who prefer to do their own weathering on items. I think that is why hasbro does not worry about weathering. Always remember that things are basic interpretations and not exact representations.
I would agree with you if this was a kids line an in retails. But this is a pulse exclusive TVC item and should therefore have at the very least some paint applications. Remember how good the Rogue One tank was? or the Skiff? Now look at the new E-Wing, zero paint apps
I have this, and yes, unfortunately Tim’s is missing/. Tim if you have an extra bo katan, it’s the same helmet and rangefinder, so you could pop the extra rangefinder in easily
Considering the armourer reuses the arms from the old figure and the mando four pack lady reuses bo-katans arms both with wrists when other newly tooled figures don't have them. What is with that. Surely if it were a problem we wouldn't have these updated figures with them still? is there a pit of factory second broken wrist figures we don't know about, It seems like.. BULL, like the Factory wanted to charge extra and its a cost cutting method rather than a real problem. I'd love somebody to chase down the issue.. but Hasbro are slippery when they don't want to answer a question they just wont.. and when was the LAST proper QA without scripted questions.. Just annoying.. female figures now have a downgrade.
Hey bud, I haven't posted up here for quite some time. But I have to say that this set is such a huge disappointment. By not completing the top, Hasbro has made it so fans can only display it a certain way. Not cool. The 3d set is much better IMHO. Keep doin what you do brother. This is the way....
Cheap! Cheap! Cheap! This looks so plain and cheap. Like a 4+ LEGO set. The mythosaur and the rock formation desperately need paint. Hasbro is already scaling back TVC production and it's disappearing from retailers, but they're also cheaping out on the small amount they do produce. These are tiny figures!!! No excuse why they can't afford a smidge of paint. Shame on HalfBros! And $60?!?!? You've gotta be kidding me. They better not pull this crap on the Cantina.
Are they calling this a Playset ? Come on hasbro. Diorama more like. Anyway it looked good with the figures on the end shot For me Ian butlers version is far superior.
Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh INUFF MANDALORIAN CRAP ! We need Ton Ton , Bespin cloud car , new l Lukes land speeder anything bit bloody mando !
I dunno how you guys get through reviewing this set without even showing the top of it on camera or mentioning it. The unfinished top ruins the whole toy. Collectors deserve to see how ugly it is
Great video. The lack of paint apps seams to be a worrying trend across TVC,. 😢😮
It's really any line under Hasbro. Using colored plastic and less paint is part of corporate cost cutting. Be well.
Whoo!! Got mine a couple days ago, swapped an extra shriek hawk mando with the red helmet included. Just ordered a light kit so I can get the forge lit up. I'll post pics in the FB group in the coming days.
What lite kit did you order.
I’d like to know that too
Me as well!
Congratulations🎉🥳👏 on reaching 30,000 subscribers😊
I actually bought the armorer for my friend, and that playset would be perfect. Thank you for the review Bossk.
Massive congrats on the big 30 mate!!!!! Awesome vid!
Pretty solid playset imo, weve got enough Mandos for a nice Diorama with this now.
Bossk's Bounty were did you get that LED light you used?
Love it Tim!! Can you share where you get those LED’s??
Sure amzn.to/3YIGOu8 (affiliate)
Just ordered mine a few hours ago, can't wait for it to arrive.
Thank you Bossk's Bounty for the nice review. I am expecting mines in the mail. Weathering would have been good but still looks great.
Nice! Looks a lot better than I thought it would.. and the figure is a great improvement.
Looks amazing great video Tim and congrats on subs 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great review bud, I think I'll pick one up for my vintage/retro set up
Pity about the lack of paint apps, but the new Armourer figure and details of the set look far more interesting than I was expecting. The functional helmets are a nice inclusion. Good review as always, cheers!
Excellent review bossk, really great job, proud of you mate
That light piping features are so cool!
It looks great in the dark when you can't see how plain it is.
Excellent review video and excellent looking playset Tim! @Bossk'sBounty 🙂🙂
Great review my friend

Not head to head by any means, but this makes a lot more sense aesthetically than the Light Cruiser hallway
We need a cardback of Palpatine from the "I AM The Senate" scene 🙏🙏
Great review Tim!
Me gusto mucho = Lo compro
The missing roof is a little disappointing, like in the cantina. Cool to see some stuff for customizing your own figures!
The Armorer should come pre-roughed up! I mean, they already give us those "circles of death" on the cards.
Go the extra mile why doncha, Hasbro

20cm tall

Wow! What a beauty! I like your place holder ones look more though! Blessings! Hahaha!
I had to order this again as I checked on Pulse and my order disappeared. Sadly all my pre orders have been shipped recently by DHL which takes me an extra week to receive anything.
Man, no paint wash and that open top are big turnoffs. But that soft goods armorer is almost worth it alone!
Man!! Grogu seems to be in everything

@BossksBounty there is a lot done with this. Just because they don't see what you want, doesn't make it less desirable for the masses
Im seriously worried about the cantina.
BB, was that female mando helmet missing its rangefinder?
It was, should it have one? maybe mine is still in the baggie!
@@BossksBounty looks to be missing to me! Mine had one.
I wondered that too! I believe it’s supposed to be
I have this, and yes, unfortunately Tim’s is missing/. Tim if you have an extra bo katan, it’s the same helmet and rangefinder, so you could pop the extra rangefinder in easily
Nice set, but is it worth £61??
Nope. These playsets are always hugely overpriced.
💪😎
I wish it came cheaper without a figure.
I bought this but it is missing quality paint apps and dry brushing. Its a bit of a let down
Strange drip @ 6:22 ?
Be nice if it lit up. I think unless it hits discount, it's a pass for me
A little disappointed in the chest piece. Seems pretty cheap imo :?
Considering the armourer reuses the arms from the old figure and the mando four pack lady reuses bo-katans arms both with wrists when other newly tooled figures don't have them.
What is with that.
Surely if it were a problem we wouldn't have these updated figures with them still? is there a pit of factory second broken wrist figures we don't know about, It seems like.. BULL, like the Factory wanted to charge extra and its a cost cutting method rather than a real problem.
I'd love somebody to chase down the issue.. but Hasbro are slippery when they don't want to answer a question they just wont.. and when was the LAST proper QA without scripted questions..
Just annoying.. female figures now have a downgrade.
I'm sorry this is hardly worth the price tag a hard pass from me 😢

Are they calling this a Playset ? Come on hasbro. Diorama more like. Anyway it looked good with the figures on the end shot
For me Ian butlers version is far superior.
They call it a playset on the Pulse listing but not on the box of the product.
So much plain, boring plastic. Yes, it's sandy and mimics the colors of the rock walls, but the lack of deco makes it a bit of an eyesore.
Disappointed barbell hips weren't incorporated into the figure. The old hip design was, and remains, trash.
Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh INUFF MANDALORIAN CRAP ! We need Ton Ton , Bespin cloud car , new l
Lukes land speeder anything bit bloody mando !
This set is total garbage!
I dunno how you guys get through reviewing this set without even showing the top of it on camera or mentioning it. The unfinished top ruins the whole toy. Collectors deserve to see how ugly it is
You cant have watched the review then as I show the top and mention it.
