Someone going to buy these Baby Yoda toys (limit 1 per customer but someone will find a way around it) and then sell them on EBay for $1000 each and some suckers will pay the $1000 for them.

NOT available until April 2020 but

I wouldn't be surprised if folks will find a way around the EBay rules (whatever they are, I never listed anything on EBay) and put them up on sale now.

EDIT:

On EBAY: YUP! People selling it already and it won't be available until next year.

Also 3D printer version, not official Disney merchandise

That seller will get a visit from a mob of Disney's and Lucasfilm's lawyers.

It's only PRE-order. I think that is perfectly legitimate. They only promise to buy (and re-sell to you) after the doll is officially released.

sad to see Star Wars being well on its way to end up like Daffy Duck vs Bugs Bunny.

But if I win that bid for the pre-order and comes next April, can I change my mind?

Do they take my $ now if I win that bid or is the money not taken from me until the item is actually shipped next year.

I don't ever go on EBay.

Never bought anything or sold anything there.

I hardly ever buy anything online.

I want to see the item, touch it, examine it, before I buy it.

If it's something I see in the stores that I want, I go online and I look for a better price.

Other than that, I don't buy online.

Also it's easier to return something to the store if it's wrong size, defective, broken or turn out it's not what I wanted and get the money back immediately in cash or credit back to my credit card than to return it to the online seller.

Daffy and Bugs didn't blast Jawas like they were bottles on a fence. LOL
SW has always had a lot of merchandising, nothing new.

sure did - Mandalorian started well but now is meant for kids aged 6 to 12.

so that small kids can watch it, the episodes are not telling a story that will end in the 8th episode but instead, were made in a way that you can watch it in any sequence and it still makes sense .

This week's episode was boring to me.

haven't watched it yet - maybe tonight if I have nothing better to watch.

I was re-watching GOT S4 yesterday where Pedro Pascal is, in Mandalorian it is a pity we never get to see him act only his voice.

One of the huge mistakes in this series was to have him never remove his costume (for no reason : when he is alone how does he shave ? ) this way he became a cardboard cutout action figure that can be sold as merchandize, maybe at some point he will.

Giancarlo Esposito is in only 1 episode and Werner Herzog only in the first ones , so not much to look forward to.

and there is a 2nd season ... more baby-Yoda-sitting.

He said he hasn’t removed his helmet *in front of anyone*, not “at all”.
I suspect the end will have him having to go into hiding *by* removing his helmet and leaving his Mandolorian identity behind, whereupon we’ll see him. I think he’s done a fine job regardless, but surely they used him and not just a stunt man and voice actor for a reason.
I’ve enjoyed every week, but I do wish it wasn’t quite so episodic.

He removed the helmet in episode 4 to eat.

There were children playing a few feet away who would had seen his face if they looked in his direction.

Yea, I thought that was kind of stupid myself. They make this huge point of no one seeing him without his helmet and then he basically shows everyone his face. The whole writing of this series is pretty lazy IMO. I still like it but wish we had a serious series that had good writing. This is like a tease because some of it is so good and then the rest is cringe bad writing.

Like the guy breaks the tracking fob and tells him he memorized it... like... what? the tracking fobs were already pretty lazy but its just a beeping box showing you the direction and closeness of the target... how are you going to memorize that... ffs..

I had the same reaction. That FOB is not like a phone screen with turn by turn direction. Even a Waze or Google Map direction page is not easy to memorize when you are traveling such a long distance.

I missed it when I started to fast forward



lazy and done by a committee.

I thought this was going to be a Rogue One style series, done for adults.

Different writers, different director and just simply a different creative team in general. I'm not surprised that the tone of the Mandalorian is very different from Rogue One.

absolutely true - it feels like watching Ghostbusters and Alien.

Today's episode is great and with a longer 37 1/2 minutes running time, not counting ending credits.

It was very good.

I love Bill Burr,I was surprised to see him in it. Also Richard Ayoade (he was playing Zero).

Episode 7 will be available tonight after midnight Pacific time instead of the usual Friday release day because of Star Wars Episode 9 hitting theaters on Friday.

Just watched Episode 7.

Bloody Disney!

They can't do that to us!

I just watch Episode 8 which is also the Season 1 finale.

You can't end it like that.

Now we have to wait for Season 2 which supposedly will be out sometimes next year, no idea when:

mid year? Late year?
