Really nice additions to your collections, gentlemen! I'm glad that the time gap between arrivals in the U.S. and Europe becomes smaller.

Here are my arrivals from August. Hasbro Pulse sent the latest TVC wave earlier than expected and they arrived right on time to my birthday:


The 3 TVC figures on the top left are from an online seller who is focused on LEGO. But he had those for 19€ each plus 6€ shipping. He said that he can also get them as solid cases.

More details on their latest shipment here in Germany here.

And here is what I found at a fan convention yesterday:


11 TVC cards for 5€
Queen Amidala: 6€
Podracer: 4€
GONK Droid: 5€
2 TLC B-A-D Astromechs for 10€
golden C-3PO (vac metal, not LEGO): 5€
A magic bag with incredible parts for customizing: just 5€!

No I'm not dead, my floors are being redone and what I thought was going to be 1 month ordeal has turned into several, and still ongoing. My hobbyroom is storage as is my bedroom, everything is disorganized. 
I've gotten a lot of orders in. Especially in the last month. I went from 30 preorders to 11, which is a shitton! What was the most anticipated for me was the Walmart exclusive E-webs. I love the design and as an army builder it was the cornerstone of my platoons. I was really worried if theyd be delivered after several months of delays.  I thought, If walmart canceled my orders I was done, like done done, no more army building, if I can't get simple preorder.there's no point.   Fortunately I got all my orders. It's a miracle. It should not have been an exclusive to begin with in my opinion.  I can't even photograph what I've gotten or made on the side because everything is in such disarray.  Soon soon.  I did make a pretty badass custom figure that hasbro should  have done.

Agreed! It's the labor shortage and insurance red tape.  Hopefully it'll all be done soon.

Glad to see JDeck is still alive and kicking. I can't wait to see that new custom.

I just got in my E-Web Stormtrooper from Wal-Mart too. Can you believe they shipped it well in a good box and it arrived undamaged? I need to go get a lottery ticket.

I'm glad you're good, JD! Hope your nerves will stay strong as well. And I'm glad that Walmart delivered your Stormies with E-web. That's one awesome new tooling, indeed.





Like Tamer I'm curious about the new custom that you made.

Fingers crossed that the floors will be finished sooner than later. Take it with a grain of salt and a good pack of humor.

I had 2 orders of 3. One order came in a box and the other in a bag. The only bent card I got was  one in the box. So go figure. I'm going to open them anyway just wanted to see tamer if you needed a swap, but looks like yours came all in one piece.
Yeah it is awesome. I had gotten so used to the potf2 e-web, this one looks tiny, but it's actually correctly scaled. The potf2 on is almost 6" scale really. It has to be smaller to be portable, otherwise it would take a full squad to move it.  This has been on my want list for a long time.

I appreciate you saving me one of your good ones. I got lucky this time or maybe they have improved their shipping? ::)

Found a lot of 22 TCW figures for 170€ shipped from the bay. It includes a few I was missing for my Clone Wars cabinet:


It's always nice to be able to fill some gaps once in a while...

Daggone, this is AWESOMEEE!! So you got it for $25? This set is brilliant! When it was first listed, the price was $29.99. That was probably the reason why the product site was taken down again shortly after.
It was re-listed for $44.99 which feels more like a price Di$ney would claim for a 4-Pack.
So happy you got it MUCH cheaper than that!
