So, I have the worst luck. I have this paid off at a mall GameStop. They've been closed because of Covid-19 for weeks. They probably aren't opening again for weeks. GameStop can't transfer reserves to another store. The 800 number outsourced call guy told me they CAN. Having worked at GameStop for 7+ years of my life, and after speaking to a manager at the other store in town that is open (him telling me policy has not changed since I worked there) I know this is not true. So, even tho they are in stock online I have to wait weeks to get my helmet because, even tho they have my money, they can't ship to my house.
I am a patient boy. I wait. I wait. I wait. I wait.

Just got mine today-everything looks great. I really can’t believe how far Hasbro has come in recent years and especially with Luke’s helmet and now this. It is fantastic! Never would I have thought Hasbro would put out such great quality.
...and Nightwing, I’m sorry to hear about your situation. I hope it gets resolved soon.
By the way, did anyone else laugh at how small the box is?

I opened mine up for May the Fourth and wore it to open a bunch of web meetings that day 
It’s a great helmet and looks good on my bookshelf.
I don’t understand the texture, though.With the amount of paint apps,I don’t see that the extra dents make a difference. If they had left that off, their prototype Fett helmet would have been much more accurate.
For those in the know, is the size of this helmet approximately accurate to the prop? It seems large on my head, but helmets are deceptive sometimes in their size.

On the original ESB helmet, they only used the upper half of the MQ-1 circuit board. It was mounted in a slightly curved piece of acrylic, similar to the visor. The lower portion that can be seen through the bottom three keyslots is just that smooth acrylic.
Best guess is it's to guide the paint apps to some degree.
It is quite accurate. Note that Jeremy Bulloch, at 6'1", still almost looked like a bobble-head in ESB. It's a big bucket.
I always thought it was the whole thing.
Man, I gotta go back and look at my reference images again.

Thanks for the info. That’s true, he did almost look like a bobble head in the movie.

Thanks for the kind words! The upper half of the Casio MQ-1 circuit board was used for the back of the helmet (rear keyhole), while the lower half with the keypad was used on the left gauntlet:

In line to buy an "open box" for $89.25!
Hey Halliwax, what's the status of your helmet shipment? I was told that mine was supposed to be delivered today, but according to Hasbro it's still "on its way" - if it was going to be delivered today it should say "out for delivery." Same with FedEx - according to their tracking it's still "in transit" and hasn't been scanned since last Friday 5/1 in PA. Seems like it's still sitting in PA.

Mine was delivered yesterday. 1 day late.. what my fedex driver does is he doesn’t like working late. So he marks my package as delivered... then delivers it the next day.. not cool in case it ever gets stolen..
My fedex is a joke. I was previously going to post the reviews on google, because it was a complete horror show. Everyone saying the same story as mine
But now it looks like they are either paying people, or something because the reviews have become positive.. bull!!
Bastards...

Hey Ronin, I just got off the phone with FedEx Customer Service. Mine was first scheduled for Friday the 8th, then it switched on Sunday to Wednesday the 6th.
My package hasn’t been scanned since Monday in PA as well. The FedEx rep told me it now has a delivery date of Friday the 8th again, even though the website still says the 6th.
There’s a good chance our helmets are on the same truck headed for the PNW, so you’ll probably get yours on Friday as well.

Yeah, it was just fine. I‘m glad it was the Hasbro and not a more expensive helmet.
Thanks for the info - I appreciate it.

Hasbro Google Hangout Q&A: May 6th 2020 - Fantha Tracks
Check in with some of the replies from today's Hasbro Google Hangout Q&A.

Confirmation that the prototype version only has a new dome mold, the other pieces will still include all of the molded-in damage. I'm secretly relieved because I was planning on painting up my BS as a prototype and didn't want to do a lot of unnecessary filling work if they were just going to release a better one in a couple of months.
Thanks for this. Mine came out super easy. Now it actually fits my head!
