I got mine in one day after ordering.

Still they didn't ship it in a box, they just slapped a mailing label to the side and hoped for the best. Amazon's shipping is just non-existent anymore.

So great to see that Amazon and Hasbro kept their word and made more units of this set available again! I think it should always be like this, if logistics allow it. Demand for specific figures and sets is higher than for others and in the past Hasbro just included popular figures in the next wave.

Also good to see that your set arrived in excellent condition even though it was just the shipper that was exposed to the environment...

I also got lucky with my latest order from Amazon.de! My next TVC Tantive IV Playset arrived on very good condition! Keep it going Amazon!

[Tamer]

Glad it arrived in good condition.

I wonder if Hasbro ever raised the amount of playsets if etailers claimed for more like they did with the Vintage Collection Bad Batch 4-Pack...

Amazon Germany put the Black Series Commander Bly on discount for 23,51€ instead of 26,99€. Now it's at 28€. It arrived in the usual pillowcase box and of course it's not the version with corrected helmet even though the product page shows it...box is in almost good condition though.







See how CenturionsCorner corrects Bly's helmet on his YouTube Channel:

Hey that almost showed up great!

Yeah, not so much my latest experience with Amazon Germany. The only deal I found on May 4th were these two TVC figures. They 14,99€ instead of 19,99€ - ideal for me as opener/loose collector.
I mean that's cheaper than TungHori and he hasn't even have the Rebel Soldier, yet.




The way the figures was kinda smart, but also risky. I'm glad the box wasn't crushed on Lobot's side. Don't tell me the odds...



Edging on obit was the least damage. I could also pay 3€ more and pick one at SmythToys.

The cards of the Rebel Soldier weren't as lucky. Bubbles come foggy by all the micro scratches. Ideal for openers.




Have a good weekend everyone!

Well good ole Amazon again. At least you got em in a box.

[Darth More]

Yes, indeed! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Meanwhile I got Lobot out of the box and I'm absolutely thrilled with this one! So great to see a Hoth Rebel Soldier 4-pack as well.

I finally contacted the customer service from Hasbro here in Germany and got a response on the next workday.

The Vintage Collection AT-ST Raider is still listed on Amazon, but not available anymore. That's why I was wondering if it was going to come back in stock. I mean what other reason would there be to keep it listed, right?

But Hasbro took this illusion from me. A re-issue of this vehicle is not planned. I found it interesting that the guy who answered to my question also wrote that they don't have any extra parts or even a boxed one in stock even though I hadn't asked that. Maybe they received many questions if people can buy sold out items directly from them...


FialaFernbrugg told me on Friday that the AT-ST Raider was sold on Amazon Germany for over a year. Unfortunaltely I completely missed it! Since it was a Best Buy Exclusive I didn't expect it to be available here in Germany at all.

Well, I just cannot have it all....

[Tamer]

Welcome to my world. I haven't been able to find one of these myself.

[Darth More]

Yeah, I was seeping on that one. Gotta love exclusives, right? You cannot expect them to show up anywhere else. Well, the TVC TIE Fighter was exclusive to Walmart and later showed up for less than retail from third party sellers on Amazon. I think it's still available:

But I remember when I asked Toys "R" Us Germany for that Black Series Battle on Endor Mulitipack with AT-ST and figures, but it was exclusive to Toys "R" Us in the United States.
I was lucky enough that my dad brought it for me. $99.99 was a great MRSP back in 2014...and I think it was one advantage of the Black Series after TVC was put on hiatus: the return of Multipacks with vehicle and figures...man I miss those Battle Packs with 5 figures.

I'm a customer of Amazon since 2010 and never have they ever offered me an extra bonus/gift card ever before. However last week they offered a 5€ discount on one item of 15€ or more. And they had a massive amount of items to choose from.

I decided to order another TVC Tantive IV Playset. It was 44€ so I got it for 39€ - the cheapest so far.
If only I lived in the U.S. where such discounts are far more common. As far as I know Amazon.com is much more generous to U.S. customers with such promotions on a regular basis.

It arrived in good condition. And you can still order yours here:

Here's another deal on TVC IG-11 for $10.99 USD:

In comparison, Amazon Germany sells this one for 23€ (~$24.50)...
