Hoarding to resell at a much marked-up rate.

And thanks for the link, TPau. I just wish I had seen it before it was out of stock.

Welcome. At least you know they are around. Happy hunting!

Well, Big Bad Toy Store is selling the Black Series... and I managed to get a preorder in for Cara!

Excellent! Happy for you!

Episode 5 of the docuseries deals with practical effects. Decisions on choosing non-cgi effects for certain things and how that influenced actors and directors. Best episode yet of the series (probably due to loads dedicated to baby yoda)!

Episode 6 of the docuseries dealt with the processes of what was done prior to filming, to speed along production. From storyboarding, to pre-visualizations using techniques from Jungle Book and Lion King. A short episode but packed with really interesting images of how things went from a few bushes with the live actor, to the entire surrounding flora to match the scene.

Episode 7: Sound... how a single composer used various methods to create thematic development of both characters and worlds. Then by bringing in a live orchestra, to transform these themes into cinematic sweeping perfection!
Made me want to watch the full series again...wow!

Well, the Mandalorian is definitely a series one can watch multiple times.

The final episode(#8) of the docuseies focused on the various connections shown through the Mandalorian, to all sorts of Star Wars canon. Most of the ones discussed I was surprised that I had caught during the two times through the series. But some were really deep dives that were so interesting to learn more about.

I am really looking forward to season 2, whenever it shows up. Completely enjoyed season 1 and the docuseries as well!!!
