I'm satisfied with all the Black Series versions of Fett released lately. I got the one that I wanted on sale, no deluxe price.

There isn't much of a reason to buy the same figure again for a second time.

I think that's the problem of SW Black Series going forward. All the characters worth getting (essentially just the characters from the OG trilogy and The Mandalorian) have been done.

True. If you're just getting OT stuff, then you have exactly two Boba Fett versions to worry about, and it just so happens they have both been done very well both at the 6" and 3.75" scale. Baring any new looks Disney chooses to put him in going forward, we've been set on good Boba Fett figures for a while. Now it's just a matter of what sort of packaging gimmicks they can come up with.

Are the new Mandos from Mandalorian Season 3 going to have the Boba Fett Tax too?

Unless it's online for shipping at that price, it's a store by store situation.

Soon all Star Wars figures will have the Boba Fett Tax, except Boba Fett figures, which will then receive the Double Deluxe Boba Fett Tax.

If Hasbro thinks they an get away with it they will. :wink:

Honestly, I expect they would make them store exclusives, or make a Hasbro Pulse/Convention exclusive set of some sort, which come with their own price increases.

Entertainment Earth seemed to do well with their previous Mandalorian sets. Maybe they'd be up for another round.

Well, that was the .com price when I posted and got the store to match. Back up to regular price now.

So far none of the other unnamed Mandos stood out, as of Season 3 Ep6, so hopefully no Boba Tax attempts.

Are those Mandos another case of Filoni calling in fan costumers? If so, a) that would be awesome for them if they got figures, but b) I haven't seen any that struck me as shelf-worthy so far.
