Yep, 24.99. I really only wanted the probe droid, but once I got that gift certificate I said why not!

Look what finally came in from Target. I don't know how long ago I ordered this, but it was awhile. And they shipped it well!

Putting down the rain yesterday, but got in a few new figures in TVC Line:

These first two are from Walmart and were shipped in nonpadded mailing envelopes. Can't believe they came through this good:





The next two came from Target and were put in a box too small, one got dinged up. Overall I am gonna chalk it up as a win.

Awesome new arrivals, Shawn! Love those Bespin Guards. They look perfect on TVC cards. Also Mr Woves is anothe rmasterpiece by Hasbro. Haven't gotten neither one of those 3, yet.

Thanks, Philipp. Still can't believe they showed up that way just packed in regular envelopes with no packing.

I just got nice a couple more are coming. At this stage, I can't remember all that I have on pre-order. EE sends me an email with all my outsanding stuff every once in awhile. That's handy.

Nice, Shawn! I'm still awaiting mine. It's kind of fun, or maybe just a relief, to be receiving some of those pre-orders. I got Axe Woves and the Bespin Guards this week too. No problem with the Walmart orders even though they came in those "bubble stuffers." Too bad I'm an "opener."   ;)

Opened up some boxes. Most were in good shape (the boxes). Some of the stuff was not great.

This one was:



This one the jhook was messed up, which I can't figure out why?



This one both front corners of the cover were creased. I think I am just returning it for a refund. It isn't very good. It sure looks awful with no plastic cover to it too:



This one was good:

Nice additions to your collection, Tamer! The Dark Trooper turned out fantastically! Hasbro really knocks it out of the park with their latest releases! I'm looking forward to seeing their take on Darth Malak and Bastila Shan from KotOR in The Black Series and also to the all-new Clone Trooper Phase II sculpt for The Vintage Collection!

I found those 8 TCW Clone Troopers with a couple extra accessories for 70€ shipped. They arrived yesterday along with my latest order from Zavvi.

I don't usually post a mail call or my new figure images, but today brought several items, so...

Nice additions guys.

Philipp I haven't seen TCW Clones in awhile, good pick up.

Loving the new Mandos Starchaser. I guess its wrong to keep hoping we get new ones.

That's a fair point. I also questioned my massive hauls that I shared over the past months. Because I don't share them to show off, but to make our readers aware of good deals and sources.
Those are truly awesome figures! Hasbro really knocks it out of the park with the recent releases!

Thanks Shawn! And  have to contradict. Hasbro jumped on the Mando train big time and I'm 100% sure we'll see more of them especially next year for the 20th Anniversary of Clone Wars!

The new Boba Fett "Tatooine" Deluxe figure is known for its quality issues. Some units even arrived maul-style in two parts. I recently got my second one from Zavvi.
I "only" have some insufficient paint apps on the shoulder(s):







Have you already got this one and does yours have similar issues?
