Those parts look pretty cool, DM.
I’m digging that throne room set. That looks like something I need here at the house.

I did get a box from BBTS the other day with a beskar Mando and some echos. Their shipping has been effected as well and there are several pre ordered late arrivals I am still awaiting to surface.

Nice Dan and minty fresh too. Man I haven't seen a decent cardback on the pegs in awhile now.

I actually got a couple things in this week too including the R5 Deer which showed up warped (but at least I can flatten that out) and this:

Man is it sweet, I can't wait till they make this in 3.75" scale too. It will look fantastic on a vintage card. Bet they unveil one soon for 6" (vintage carded) too.

That mortar trooper is awesome. Yeah I can only hope they make a tvc one.

I did a little toy hunt. I picked up 3 more IG-11s to make 5, at Walmart/Target and a Teebo. I left Lando and emperor, I have them, and they're not exactly army builders. I might go back for a lando for custom fodder.

Speaking of teebo, i did my ewok Wednesday tradition of watching the ewok movies, also I watched the ewok cartoon on D+. Man what a wierd cartoon. I can't wait for book of boba fett or even bad batch.

I'm planning to individualize my IG squad, paint them different colors. Here's a preview....

Picked this guy up at a GameStop the other day
Exclusive price point

Snow trooper body, head reminds me of the old Clone Wars flame trooper

Man, nice IG's JDeck. I don't think I have found one on a good card yet.

Clint, I haven't even been in a Game Stop in years. I need to find that figure.

I did get in my two Shadow Stormies from EE. They were much better this time, but still not perfect cards. I am wondering what is going on with Hasbro.

Missing about 4 with the Mandalorian logo now
Just the troopers still left to snag

It’s happened before Shawn. I have the whole set of McQuarrie TAC concept figures MOC in a tote somewhere, even the exclusives.
  Those classified Joes that I pick up are still all unopened and in good boxes. That Ram cycle box had a little ding but that’s the only one I can think of. My newest collection, the Vintage collection Mandalorian figures all carded, no carbonized cards, are just propped up next to the vintage 12 inch stuff in the stairwell going down to the basement. I like to see it grow there, figure by figure.

LOL, just messing with you Clint. You know I am mainly carded.

Glad to see you finding stuff. I have three boxes from Hasbro I need to open. I swear I think they sent one order off in three different boxes.

You guys are lucky.
I haven't been able to find ANYTHING for over a year.
My wallyworlds and target StarWars sections have been bare.
I don't think the stores in my area are even trying to restock their shelves/pegs.
How I long for the days of 2005 when an entire aisle was filled with figures and ships.

I wish I had taken pictures when I stood in front of the pegs filled with figures back in 2005. The #41 Clone Trooper lit the fire and let me catch the Star Wars fever back then.
It's very nice to see that you found some TVC figures in stores, again. Distribution seems to be awful at the moment or maybe the lack of interest for the Sequels broke the neck of the franchise.
Ten years ago I never thought that availability of Star Wars Action toys would be better here in Europe than in the U.S. - it had always been that way, but by now it's quite the opposite.  :(

I got in two Mandalorian Jawas and Echo. All three cards had damage and they were in pristine boxes. I don't know what they are doing in the factories, but I am thinking the cards are getting damaged there. Gonna try to deal with Hasbro's customer service today.
