[Electronic Lids]

Black series Boba arriving tomorrow

I wonder if they would a Death Watch Helmet?

Because they make money by selling their own product, they make money by allowing 3rd parties on their platform, and they make money when those third parties sell an item. In fact when a third party seller makes a sale on an inflated priced toy they just might make as much or more than the margin on the item if it was their own, plus they don’t have to spend the expense of paying warehouse associates to pack and ship. I personally hate the 3rd parties on their site and will not buy from one but for Walmart, it’s a smart business move.

Looks like they allow the 3rd party to compete at the same time with their own stock.

I finally have one on the way!

I'm hoping that Hasbro sells a repaint of the Boba Fett helmet as the animated Boba Fett in the Holiday Special. It probably wont happen but that would be sweet...

Finally arrived- very nice, and good straight paint job on the kill stripes!

So I received my helmet order from Amazon here in Germany. I like what I see but on the top the moulded in damage and the scratches are not at the same spot.

I finally got this from the amazon.de. Europe is clearly not really high on Hasbro's list.

Hmm.. my version doesn't have that strong molded damage on the top of the helmet. It is almost perfectly smooth.

It seems that the Black Series prototype Fett helmets are being shipped out already. Got my notice on Friday.

Still no word on the shadow trooper helmets form GameStop though they took my money, and other people who ordered, last month.

GameStop is carrying the white fett helmets?

Received my prototype helmet from Entertainment Earth yesterday, preordered it when it first was available.

I'm not sure, they might be. I was meaning the shadow trooper helmets when I mentioned GameStop.

Yeah I’m really curious if they will stop them

For Canadian members, Gamestop's affiliate EBGames is also carrying the prototype helmets.

Could you post a few pictures... id like to see how they came out.... congrats on the acquisition.

I got my regular BS Fett helmet and Im very very pleased with it, especially given the price. Ill mod it a little with a darker visor and some padding ... but its very good. I am able to kinda see the targeting scope wearing it.... but not terribly well... but always thought it tied to the HUD for Boba when activated... so not a huge ding in my opinion.

In general these newer BS helmets are allowing me to fill out my favorite Star Wars buckets now... and I enjoy modding them slightly .... gives me more of a connection to it and less stress if i muck it up some how.

Interesting looking at the pictures from the GameStop link. You can see the molded damage on the lower portion of the helmet. Will be interesting if that is how the helmet actually is or just what they did to go ahead and get pictures made.

Yes, the molded damage is still on the prototype helmet, accept for the one part they needed to change for the forehead dent. It's pretty much a repaint with one new part.

I’m still trying to decide if I am going to open it as I am questioning if I want to display it.

I am thinking of purchasing another Boba Fett helmet kit and converting it to a prototype Fett.
For my display, I really want to have one without paint damage, but with the famous dent.

The Boba Fett Helmets I will be displaying will be the ESB EFX helmet, RS 2nd Generation cast (ordered) and a Prototype helmet (I have to research which vendor to purchase one from).

I do have a Hasbro Black series Boba Fett helmet above one of my Detolf cases and an unopened one in my garage.

If you look closely at the box picture, you will be able to make out some of the cast damage:

Got one for $89.99

Target on-line price was $98.99 (lower than in-store retail price). Clerk had to over-ride. Her dyslexia is my boon.

Primary green is WAY too dark...

Thoughts on this (Rust-O-Leum Moss Green):

So I received my helmet order from Best buy today and my helmet is missing the silver scratches/paint detailing on the right side. The molded in damage is there but unpainted...View attachment 1293535View attachment 1293536
