$20 on joe vs dan Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) When did folks here get so literal. It's like we are reviewing legal briefs instead of a reseller's forum let's get over the "gotcha" arguments and let's try to give our fellow members some latitude...if the spirit of the post is right, then it's all good. soon posting will be no fun w/ both the spelling police, grammar police, and now the legal board reviewers Edited February 11, 2021 by $20 on joe vs dan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego Lass Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Here's a fresh (non-football related) take: https://screenrant.com/mandalorian-cara-dune-lucy-lawless-gina-carano-recast/ I think both Disney and Gina were out of line…and Disney is always going to win in a power struggle. But they could keep the character alive with a recasting choice. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindog Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 No one has mentioned that the Carano thing is fallout from the Kennedy/Filoni war. Carano is/was everything that the Kennedy camp wanted Rey to be in the sequel trilogy: A strong, female character that is taken to SW fans' bosom and that sells lots of merchandise to the parents of little girls everywhere. Cara Dune's figures were snapped up while Rey's just sat on the shelf. I'm 100% positive that Kennedy was a major force in having Carano removed once twitter snowflakes directed their ire at her. Carano is the modern female Luke Skywalker, the exact thing that Rey was supposed to be but was rejected. Don't forget, the same exact crowd tried to pull this **** on Rosario Dawson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I was waiting to answer the question after seeing your post on being upset about colin being censored. Very mature though.I’m not sure why you’ve decided to take this so personal.I have not presented an opinion on Colin in any public forum, so there’s no post to find. No “gotcha” here. I don’t have a particularly strong opinion on Gina’s issue either. I liked the character, and bummed we won’t see her again. But I also arm swept a couple of Walmart’s today for AT-STs because I’m far more concerned with how her minifig will perform then the choices she’s made for herself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 24 hours ago, her minifig could have been had for under $7 and there were at least 40 sellers. As of 0530 pm, CST tonight: I'm dumping 30 of mine at $28. No way can this rise be sustained. At this price, there won't be an intact 73254 anywhere. Edited February 11, 2021 by raindog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, would LEGO put AT-ST on retirement list just because Gina was fired ? What's stopping them from producing more if this news increases the demand for that set ?

How can Disney continue to license Carano's likeness once they fire her (unless that is explicitly written into her contract?) This is a mess and I hope that it turns out to be a bad legal mess for Disney. Best thing for us (collectors/resellers) is that they have to cease the sell of the set until an altered Cara Dune can be inserted.

raindog Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 And amazingly, the AT-ST is still available for $40 at Amazon. Limit 3. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-at-St-Raider-Building-540Piece/dp/B07Q2WB3D3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortbus311 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 That would assume Cara Dune is big enough character to go through all the troubleAll it takes is a large enough hashtag trend that Lego is still producing a minifigure toy of someone who could say such "abhorrent" things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
