Yeah, I don't mind though. Just a few more days...

I got mine!
Pretty good...
paint apps are about 3/8” to 1/2” offset on the dome , but it’s pretty impressive all the same.
I kind of want to go in with a silver sharpie to add some pop
Luckily I have a small head so I can get my dome AND my glasses in there haha. Tight squeeze though

My kill stripes are crooked! Got one from EB Games in Canada. Looks to me like the paint apps are all slightly too small so they don’t line up with the actually marks on the helmet. The kill stripes bug me most...no way to exchange it as stores aren’t open
dr_slurpee got my dome. Stay tuned -- I'm still going to be getting two more of these helmets, and assuming the paint apps aren't screwed up, I'll be offering those domes up for anyone whose helmet(s) is/are.

Well I decided to order mine when I saw them reappear on Amazon direct sales because I remembered I had a $25 gift card from Christmas.
Got it today. This is the first helmet that will not fit with the liner still inside. Some others are tight like the Poe helmet and my nose hits on the trooper but with the Fett, it will not allow the helmet to sit fully on my head.
I know some others have said they also recovered the liner so I was wondering what others might do.
Ive used something like this in the past for a custom X-Wing helmet and they worked well...

I don't know whether this applies, but given fitment issues with other helmets, and given a couple other people in this thread have had this issue, I thought I'd mention... Even with the suspension taken out, this one might still sit too high. And padding the inner dome would compound that. I found when I removed the crown of the liner (basically, above where the perf texture starts), that there's about a quarter-inch gap between outer and inner dome. Which could be better used than as void. I'm putting WhiteShadow's helmet dome liner in mine. It's thin enough it'll fit between the outer dome and the brow band that remains. I'm looking at options for additional padding -- including that link, now -- to add to that lower band in case I need a more snug fit in places to keep the helmet in place when I move my head.

Right now the helmet sits too low and doesn’t stay steady on the head. I took an unused dish cleaning sponge and stuck it between my head and helmet and it sits the proper height. I think the type of padding kit I posted might work well.

So I went to the only local Walmart that showed any on hand, although I hadn't checked in several days. When I got there, I couldn't find the display, so throwing caution to the wind, I asked an employee in toys. Luckily, she knew where one might be. When the display sold down, even though they weren't marked down yet, the "last" one was moved to the clearance section because they didn't know what else to do with it. So I grabbed it.
But I went to the electronics section to see if they had any marked down DVD-Rs, and low and behold, another Fett helmet! But this one, for reasons unknown, was marked down to $89.25. So I swapped helmets and headed to the register (completely forgetting those DVD-Rs!). Before I paid for it, I asked the cashier to remove the security device because the box had clearly been opened. A cursory inspection revealed no issues other than the box having been opened, so I got it.
A closer inspection when I got home suggests some of the same paint issues others have noted and some scratches on the visor, but overall I'm happy with it. Now all I need is some place to display all these helmets (this, two stormtroopers, two and a half Vaders, two clone troopers, and an X-wing pilot helmet)!

Thanks for posting the product link above in the earlier post... the padding looks pretty good. May use them for the Fett bucket when i get to open it and probably get a set for my BS stormtrooper helmet. All comments present to date ... this Fett bucket sounds like a home run for Hasbro.

^ Yeah, they knocked it out of the park.
I got the headband out of mine and I think the foam kit MJF posted above would work good for me. It's not like I'm ever going to wear it. Except for maybe scaring the wife.
I had mine sitting next to a tricked out Rubie's Kylo Ren helmet on the other side of the Man Room, but while cleaning/dusting yesterday, I set it next to my Amazon Slave I.
Yeah, I totally cut a piece of a 4X4, sanded it, painted it black and used it for a helmet stand, lol.

Has anyone had luck finding o e at a Walmart even thought they didnt show as being in stock?
My local Walmart has never shown these being in stock. Just the super walmarts. Much further away.

Got my helmet! Visor is good, painted damage is all present with excellent registration to the physical damage, and the kill stripes are only slightly crooked - not even enough to worry about.
Overall I'm really happy with it. The colors seem a bit more drab than the EFX but it is shockingly more sturdy/substantial than the EFX which is surprising - seems like it should be the other way around. Well done, Hasbro!

Got the padding and installed it. Put it all in with the exception of the rear piece. That was too much. Now it sits at the proper height and firmly in place.
