Sounds like some good clearance deals are out there. I keep hearing rumors that Ollies has some good Star Wars Stuff too.

Its honestly scary how all you have to do is wait and you can get nearly everything dumped to large discount across the board. I remember a time when you had to get (insert SW toy) ASAP or it would cost you much more time/$$$ 

After TFA it became apparent that you don't have to try. Just sit back and wait and you'll be swimming while cherry picking. The lots and sales on eBay are proof enough: SW products are 90% worthless. I see sooo many listings $20-$40 for anything you could imagine, just piles of stuff (mostly still boxed)! I don't want to be tempted so I only browse  haha 

Luckily I don't have any Ross or Burlington Coat Factory directly next to me those 2 (and 5 below) are just murdering the MSRP of the license... But I do love it!

(SID): Exactly! And it's kinda shocking and definitely hurting the franchise! But the blame is on Disney (KK, JJ, and RJ) for their Sequel.........stuff. Apparently merch of these crappy movies just didn't sell and is still warming the pegs even here in Germany! (see my latest store reports...).

Let's show Hasbro that we buy TVC and TBS figures, vehicles and EVEN playsets at full MRSP to support the good stuff!

Toy Fair was a HUGE surprise for me and I think for many of us!

We got an all-new Desert Skiff and heck yeah, Hasbro gives us a second chance for Brock Starsher! So glad I didn't pay 60 bucks for him on eBay!

Feels like forever since I have been able to post anything here, but my gal found me a minty Mimban Stormtrooper. She said the others were all ding, creased, scratched, or horribly warped:



Matter of fact I had to give this card the book treatment so it was nice and flat. I don't know how they are warping the cards, but the packing might not be so great!

 I found a couple of mimban Stormtroopers on this taco Tuesday. Would it be sacrelige to pull it apart and make a custom?  I believe, this figure can be boiled and popped as opposed to the crack open liked the former Stormtrooper body. I don't see a seam, so I'll give it a go.

Bought x2 1/6 scale Bandai Stormtroopers... the kits went together like a charm which took me a little over 6 hours total (on and off) for both over 2 days... here they are together with my Kitbashed 1/6 Sideshows/Hot Toys ANH Vader... Build log coming soon.

Cool deal Dan. Looks like mine will get here Tuesday.

Those Bandai Stormtroopers look great next to Vader. You can't go wrong with any Bandai SW Product in my opinion.

Jodo looks like it showed up with no damage. Great pic of you with it too.

My scores for today!

The only items I paid full price for were the "Jurassic World" toys, everything else was either from 5 Below or 50% or 60% off!

The "Solo" Force Link set I picked up on super clearance (only $2.50) was sadly missing the figure :(
