Cool deal MEC! First I have heard of folks getting those.

I did get this in the mail from Big Bad Toy Store. Those folks know how to ship vintage cards too:

Nice ..got the Din Djarin & Child last week but need to pick this version of Mando up asap before it sells out

Sweet looking card, Shawn!
Got this hard to find exclusive in the mail yesterday.
I had opened it before the shot, that’s why the beskar pieces are not there.

[Tamer]

Nice Clint. I need to get my hands on one of those too. I need to remember which store it was exclusive too.

[Clonehead]

That was a Target item, buddy. It had one of those now you see it now you don’t lives on their shelf

I got the Droid Depot 5 pack. It is pretty cool. It comes with R1-J1, B-R72, L4-R6, C2-B9 and EG-01. I basically got this for the new droids. The R1, Heavy Loader and Gonk droids are all new. The r1 comes apart in 3 pieces, Heavy loader 5 and GONK 2.
I think I'll repaint the heavy loader, not a fan of the McDonald's color scheme. The gonk, he's actually a new figure, slightly bigger than the TVC one, different articulation points in the legs. I like his paint apps and details, I might not repaint him. As for the astro droids, they're alright. I noticed the right and left struts are the same, I guess they're cutting manufacturing costs. Cool set altogether.

Also got the Droid Depot 4LOM. I knew when this came out it had to be mine. It's such an improvement over the TVC one. It makes tvc look like POTF2.

I’m liking that 5 pack
That heavy loader needs a paint job.

[Tamer]

Those droids look great as does that 4LOM. Might have to see about getting one of those.

Sure does. I think I'll paint it with a yellow and black scheme, like a bulldozer.

Those droids look great as does that 4LOM. Might have to see about getting one of those.

The 4-lom is good, a little tall, and the same articulation as the droid factory protocol droid, but overall it's a vast improvement. Be prepared to pay $34 for him. Msrp is $12.99. Honestly I'd rather pay someone extra than go to Disney everytime something comes out.

Nice pick ups JDeck i've never seen that droid pack before or that 4Lom

They're pretty new, they must have released within the last month or so. That loader droid was in TFA. It has a slightly curved body, even the legs are almost like bellbottoms or those JNCO jeans from the 90s lol. It doesn't have that analog look the ot droids had.   So the more I look at it, the less I like it. I was hoping to add greebles to him, but he's made of some ceramic armor. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Heavy_loader_droid
I'll figure something out, even if it's just a repaint

Found this hot Fives figure stashed on top of the shelf at a Walmart store.
The condition of this card would please even the Tamer.

I would take another one or five of these if you ever see one yourself, Shawn. Card condition doesn’t concern me. Almost gets me excited to toy hunt again. The good stuff sure doesn’t stay on the shelves very long.

[Tamer]

Wow Clint looks great. I need to get me one of these. I will grab a few more if I see em or order a few.
