Yes, I hope they continue to order TVC, too! LEGO is one of their best selling brands though.
I'm on my way to SmythsToys now because they put the Phase I Clone Trooper on 25% discount.
Fingers crossed that there's still one left on pegs...

They have a good selection of Micro Galacy Squadron here. And they have the second largest toy section here in Dresden after SmythsToys.

I couldn't come here on Saturday. So I rode my bike this morning and had the wind against me. But I still arrived there at 10:03 am, just 5 minutes after they opened their gates. And it was worth it.
Their online inventory showed that they had 1 left in stock. Here's another proof that they always have one unit more than shown online.










Those 5 POA still don't sell, I doubt they ever will!








My buddy who collects 1/64 scale die-casts said scalpers seem to be very active here as well.
Lot's of dudes chasing those super treasure hunts...


It was a nice ride home because I the wind in my back and two Clone in my backpack. Successful store hunt & another happy landing.

You already know it's gonna be bad if your order arrives in an envelope. GLS is not known for delivering well even though they claim to be the best in Germany. What an illusion.
The first delivery failed on Monday because I was home 15 minutes after them.
Yesterday, they dropped it at my neighbors'.

I actually wanted to buy 4 of them online, but could only take 2 due to limited stock. They were sold out online after I placed my order. So I guess I got the last ones they had.
I'm glad I still got another couple in store on Monday because they were shipped in a bag.
Another example of buy-more-to-get-your-stuff-shipped-in-a-box.




One bubble is crunched on the right, corners are obviously dented, scratches on the artwork and a crease goes from one side to another. I could be mad, but it makes it easier to open those two.



Thanks for taking the time for reading this nonsense drama.

Update: I reached out to their consumer service and got a response right away. They offered me 10% discount on my online order, which I accepted. So I effectively paid 13,41€ for the two VC309s with damaged cards.

Looks like SmythsToys is going to get Captain Rex mid July! I'm thrilled to buy him at retail.

Just a swift stop by 8 minutes before they closed. I actually bought 2 dinosaurs from Schleich last minute to take to Michigan.











Rex looks amazing! And unlike other units, this one's belt is actually glued properly!




Smaller price for giant dinosaur.

There were 2 TIE Bombers, 1 black Resistance X-Wing, 2 TIE Fighters and Vetress' Solar Sailor.











I really like the selection of die-cast cars at Müller.  also saw some nice models in Michigan. Guess 1/24 scale is more popular than 1/18 scale by now.





They also have a great selection of playmobil and LEGO, wich is pretty impressive for a drug store similar to Walgreens. The Asterix sets were not on sale anymore though and are back to MRSP now. There was also a playmobil FunStore in this mall, which are quite rare.


I couldn't take a closer look because I had to catch a train. There were no comic stores in Leipzig with Star Wars figures, only with Japanese franchises.

I was on a rush on Wednesday, still jet-lagged from Monday and 10 hours on the train on Tuesday...
But they had 3 MGS A-Wings here! Besides that - nothing new and no TVC.



And some LEGO sets were on clearance. Their MRSP was way too high in the first place!

Impressive amount of TVC figures! Looks like every store received a solid case of 8.















Maybe the world has enough Grogus now!

They're like Macy's and have a decent selection of figures, also some of the latest TBS Archive figures and role play toys!






I like those HAPPY SOCKS also in Retro Design.

Nothing changed here since my last post except for the MGS mid-size vehicles! The TIE Bomber sold and a new verion of Bo Katan's ship showed up!
