Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

Amazon has them for $68 today. I had a $25 gift certificate burning a hole in my digital wallet, so grabbed one to repaint.

I found out about the Ollie's sale from a friends post late Thursday, There are five Ollie's in driving distance but all were sold out by end of day Thursday. Oh well.
 
Scout helmets are currently $100 shipped on Amazon.

Just got mine...

Was ALWAYS neutral to slightly positive on this design, but seeing the execution of The Black Series, in hand and in my collection - one of the best Benjis I've ever burned...
 
Currently Hasbro has a few of their helmets with a 20% discount in their Halloween collection sale.

Mando
Phase II

I am fairly certain I had my debit card info stolen at Ollie’s when purchasing the Trapper Wolf helmet. If this new repaint shows up there, I’ll grab one, but I sure as hell am paying in cash only.
 
I have to wonder: Where are Red and Gold Leader Black Series helmets?
Hasbro tends to capitalize on products correspond with the what has recently been seen in recent released media.

Maybe they can do a 2026 10th anniversary or Rogue One and do a triple Squadron Leader release of Red, Blue, and Gold Leaders. I’d buy all of those.
 
Future Ollie’s clearance sale item.
I think that was great for collectors but I think the main reason for having to dump Trapper Wolf helmet was that they seemed to only be available online. I don’t ever remember seeing them in stores (maybe Game Stop but I didn’t see them). I think it’s a shame because it’s actually a cool helmet. I like seeing something on the crown other than a rebel logo and I really like the black chin cup.
 
Biggs and Gold Leader would be nice. Likely sell more as well as we love OT and the new shows are not exactly winning legions of new fans.
 
Disney Parks released the "Biggs" X-Wing helmet, I just got one today.

It's by no means screen accurate but for 100 bucks it fills the shelf nicely. Might just get some better decals and redo it however.

It’s not Biggs, just the forehead design is similar. It’s a unique design that sports the black spire emblem and if you translate the writing on the side, it says LEBEL PILOT because the R symbol has been accidentally rotated 90 degrees so now it looks like the L symbol.

That’s not to say people shouldn’t get one… I did. Also I believe they are $79.99 plus tax and cheaper with a pass holder discount. They are very similar to Black Series and even have internal electronics. The only thing that Disney Parks helmets have that need a tweak is the chin cup, it’s missing the little hump. I replaced mine with a 3D print. You can see it here and a few posts past that one… My Builds: The growing of an eclectic collection

luckily they started selling those on shopdisney website.. with a parcel forwarder europeans can finally get them, too without resorting to facebook
 
Trapper's helmet had this weird wasn't readily seen in any stores, that led to the Ollies thing. I do think GameStop carried it, but not all stores sell the big collectables and is probably what led to this massive stockpile ending up on ultra clearance.

I'm looking forward to this one, its pretty much a generic New Republic helmet, and will look great with the rest.

I wish they'd go back and give us Biggs, Red Gold and Blue Leader but I just don't see it happening unless they were released to a shop like Gamestop as an exclusive.
