Can't believe I missed this

I got #12

I opted for clean as from all the screen shots I could find, it looks like all of the weathering happened after filming.

Cant Wait snagged #50 wondering if this or my Ywing will arrive first lol

 

[Brett Banner]

Awesome, didn’t realize there was a thread for this! #6 here checking in, I went for the weathered version myself since Rob posted on their FB page that he preferred that look. Now if anyone would kindly just also like to sell me their Y-Wing helmet PO…

Just a screen grab from the latest RS video, showing a slightly different stand now with an integrated mount for a plaque.

Ok… I don’t think I’m happy about this.

Apparently RS has incorporated their logo into the blaster cast.

I paid a premium for a direct lineage casting of the film prop. This is now an altered cast in my opinion

What are the thoughts of this of you who are getting one?

Oh I did not know this! Mine is coming next week, and I agree this is not good. The logo is not on any of there other products as far as I’m aware. Can’t understand why they would do it with this one.

 

[Halliwax]

only thing i can think of is to prevent recasting?

Bit of a bummer. Mainly because people didn’t know. I think if this was known ahead of time there would still be a lot of interest, but this is the type of detail that matters to a lot of collectors.

i think your right...

 

[MClass]

I'll gladly take one if anybody doesn't want their's anymore.

 

[BlandoCalrssian]

It personally doesn’t bother me if it’s well hidden and not easily seen, it certainly doesn’t diminish my excitement about it.

I know I’m probably stating the obvious by saying there would still be interest. I’m just more thinking if you’re buying from RS, it’s because you want the highest level of accuracy. So of all the places for this to happen, RS would likely have a higher percentage of upset customers than most places.

i understand, i also understand RS's side too labeling to protect against recast. but all you would have to do is sand the logo off

Yeah, for sure. It makes sense. I didn’t get one of these in time and would gladly jump on someone selling theirs. Lol. This doesn’t bug me personally.

Does the RS moniker similarly appear on their other blaster offerings, such as the “production cast” E-11?

Rob explains that the mark was put on so they couldn't be passed off years later as the real prop.

I get the reasoning, but anyone that’s looking to recast the blaster or try to pass it off as a real prop this isn’t really going to deter them.

This isn’t a deal breaker for me and I’m still looking forward to it, but it is annoying that they weren’t at least up front about it and this came as a surprise.
