Tamer: Awesome! The box is factory fresh! Bly is definitely a figure you want to add to your collection! It was amazing to look at Hasbro's first sample at Comic Con here in Dortmund.


Miichico: Hey, you're very welcome! You got some awesome figures there! Have you found them all on eBay Kleinanzeigen? These are some brilliant figures - I'm glad you got them to add to your collection! And I agree, the situation at retail is horrific! Availability has never be worse since 1999 here in Germany, BUT online availability has actually never been better. You can order pretty much everything from the UK today.
I'm still on the fence About what to do with my TCW figures. I guess I will have to put them all on display to make a choice. If you're looking for any figures/vehicles in particular, just let me know and I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks for sharing your latest scores & for your support!

Those 20th Anniversary sets of LEGO STAR WARS must've sold incredibly well! They are almost completely sold out by now and/or LEGO takes them from shelves since 2019 ended.
The only set out of their anniversary Collection that didn't sell that well because it's way overpriced is the Slave I. A MRSP of 119,99€ is steep and it went down to 77€, but I missed the sale. 79,99€ sounds like a more reasonanble Price for this set if you ask me.
So I picked up this used set for 80€ today. Found it on eBay Kleinanzeigen and it was pick-up only here in Dresden. It's like new and now I got all anniversary sets complete.
This was also a good deal because the packaging is in excellent condition. Stores usually put those wires around it to prevent theft, but those devices always damage the boxes. Also the stickers haven't been applied, yet. So I'm very happy.

If you want to know more about stickers, follow this link:

After I picked it up, I couldn't resist, but went hunting at Müller - and I'm glad I did!

Here's why:

Just a quick follow-up: I went grocery shopping at Kaufland (similar to Walmart) after my hunt at Müller. I didn't take my phone with me, but they had 8 sets of the LEGO Mandalorian Battle Pack for 9,99€. That's cheaper than Amazon (12,99€) and an all time low here in Germany. The label on the shelf just said "LEGO new item 2020" so I checked at the info desk - it was true.
How are prices for those sets in your country? Let me know!

Nice Lego stuff.

I didn't get a pic yet, but I got in my 40th TESB Metal Probe Droid from shopdisney yesterday. They actually packed it well and even covered the whole thing in tissue paper. It has been the best box I have received from them.

Boo Tamer, you can’t even see any of the figures.

    I’m actually on vacation right now in Florida and on the first night, in a Ft Meyers Beach Target, I found most of that 40th wave, including the probe droid. Couldn’t find the degobah R2 and left the tie pilot. Picked up the clearance padme for the heck of it
  Man, the rebel trooper and Luke sure look good.

More shots of the two
I wonder what’s on that paperwork under their feet in the blister?

LOL, Clint. I plan on getting a couple extras so maybe a few will see a plastic prison release, but yeah that probe droid is nice. Man I am gonna have multiples of those Hoth troopers too. Maybe the Pilot Luke. Nice stuff.

You stay safe down there in covid land!

I finally got a Willrow Hood!  He's really expensive now. Honestly I wish Hasbro would have rereleased him, he'd look tight on a vintage card. Seriously though I'd buy a bunch of these, because of the body type and the jumpsuit. The Camtono ice cream maker is an awesome accessory, especially now that we know what it is.

Oh yeah. Nice figure. I need to go figure out where mine is. I know I have at least one, probably a few. That accessory needs to be molded and casted.
