Today was just a strange day. I'm just glad I wasn't killed by a car on my bike. Crazy traffic with even crazier people.

Getting a refund for those 3 sets is not an option for the sellers. Received some rude answers and they claim they only make a $10 profit on those sets.
And they said if I don't accept their conditions they don't want to make further business with me.
Neither do I. I could just send them back and re-order them for 30 bucks less. Because the price dropped by the same sellers, which they claim to be custom fees and taxes.
But I don't send them back to China even if it's for free. It's just the way it is.
China is all about bloody business.

Sounds like the China business I have done; nice until you have questions or slight reservations and then the barbs come out!

Just like that!

AliExpress delivered my latest orders within 2 weeks.
Found some custom brick MOCs including a Sepearatists' Ground Transport Carrier and minifgures.

The 7th Sky Corps Airborne Trooper in 6 inch has been teased on Instagram half an eternity ago, so I stopped checking on AliExpress on a daily basis.
However last week it was finally added to VEILS TOYS STORE.

The helmet is removable and has a non-painted head underneath. It appears to be scaled up telling by the photos below. Some new accessories have been designed for this release such as the pouch.
I wonder how Hasbro's version will look when the Utapau Airborne Trooper will be added to The Black Series. Looks like AliExpress stay ahead of time...
I think they look rather spectacular! I mean look at that new rifle!

AliExpress set a new delivery speed record: After only 6 days including a Sunday, my parcel with two Airborne Troopers was delivered yesterday. I took the option to deliver it to my neighbors'. Instead, they just dropped it at my door 6 hours before I returned from work. My neighbor saw it at my door, but when I came home it was gone. That's why I don't give the permit to just drop things at my door.
Anyone can just steal it...oh well, 55€ lost and I was so looking forward to take a closer look at those knockoff Airborne troops...

I'm so sorry about the theft...that's a real shame. If you requested drop off at the neighbor's maybe you can get some money vack from the delivery company?

Yes, it's a pity especially because the regular Airborne Trooper has sold out in the meantime. I'm working on it to - at least - get my money back. AliExpress already denied a refund.
It's a shame. Doing business with Chinese is filthy sometimes. Thank for your comment!

Today, part of my most recent order arrived. 3 items were combined in one bag and delivered by the same service here in Germany. But the man said, he wasn't here last week.

In any case I'm glad that I ordered an extra Airborne Trooper a day later because meanwhile this one is sold out on AliExpress and they usually do not restock them. It's one and done.

Anakin didn't come with a lightsaber, but I'm happy to have gotten 2 extra blasters!

I paid 31€ for the Airborne Trooper and 12€ for Anakin. Shipping was free or included in the price - whatever sounds better for you.

I'm glad to at least have one Airborne Trooper now because AliExpress refuses to refund me and the seller refuses to send replacements.






I find it impressive how professional they've become. It looks like this figure was bagged just for the German market with a German address provided.

I gave the seller who offers rare & sealed Battle Packs from over a decade ago on AliExpress.
They arrived well packed. The rubber bands have solved here, too, but I'm glad to have gotten them for around 80 bucks each this time. I'm trying to sell a couple of them and try to get back what I overpaid for them before...




They were surrounded by blisters for 1/6 scale accessories this time. "It's like a box of chocolates..."



Some blasters inside are already loose in the box. Looks like this is the perfect one to actually open!

[Tamer]

Awesome stuff. Man, you have to be one happy camper.

[Darth More]

Yes, I must be. Thanks for your comment! It's a mixed bag with AliExpress. Everything is good until something goes wrong. Then one will learn that they keep the money once they got it even though they promise refunds and return policy...

Got two more 6" Clones from Veils Toys on AliExpress. The Airborne Sniper looks amazing in person.
So does Commander Neyo. I wonder when Hasbro finally makes them and how similiar they'll be.
I paid 31,53€ for the Airborne and 28,74€ for Neyo. Shipping was included.
