I hear you. I sometimes feel Hasbro has us trained well. Just like I think my dogs have me right now. Trained well!

By accident I just found a way to pre-order this set from a German etailer! Can't believe I could place my pre-order for 2 sets even. Fingers crossed it won't get cancelled.
They ship within Europe and even worldwide, too! Approx. arrival is November 30, 2020:

This made my day!


Add: They actually ship worldwide! So if you missed this set, you might want to check shipping costs & conditions of this seller. I've ordered from them before. It's been a while, but they've always been very reliable!

(HEART)BREAKING NEWS

Watch out for the single carded VC1?? ARC Trooper Fives! Fellow Star Wars figure collector cc_1139 found out that the helmet does not always fit onto the head during his latest live stream on Instagram a few minutes ago! So far he got 3 of them at Forbidden Planet in the UK and the second unit came with a shrunken helmet, which is too small too fit the head. So please watch out when you get yours or for the unlikely event of finding him on the pegs. That's some serious discovery he made concerning Hasbro's Quality Control for TVC...

Well that is not good at all. Is this the single carded figure or one from the three pack.

It's the single carded version which came with a shrunken helmet. He also got one 3-Pack which was all okay, but three items are not enough data to for me to make any general statements. Who knows how many helmets are affected.

I went and looked at my three pack and thought they looked ok. Hate to think folks are spending mucho deniro on these only to have bad buckets.

Glad to hear yours look okay! I was actually going to take the bus to my local SmythsToys today - but as I just found out ALL stores had to close here in Saxony, Germany...Lockdown No. 2 is here already and worse than ever.
