I skipped this purchase, so I guess I avoided the issue  :) Its nice your Fett wasn't in two pieces, but they do need to work on quality control.

Yeah, I didn't get this one either as it sold out quick. This was the Target Exclusive right? Bummer it has paint problems.

Got this one in the mail today
eBay item, card wasn’t perfect.
Two more and I think I’ll have this wave picked up.

I gotta say, Shawn, when it comes to single carded figures coming with no blister pack, I’m not so much a fan.
  I used to open em all and now it seems, I don’t and intend to display them carded.

Well trying to get carded figures shipped well now is pretty hard. It is a lot of hit and miss with me. And some of em the logo doesn't even seem centered so I get what you are saying Clint.

There was some sticker residue on the blister as well. Could of been a GameStop figure. Their tags are so large.
I used never dull to cut it down and then wiped it off with a towel.

This one showed up in better shape.
Target exclusive fat Boba. Not phat, but fat.
One more Mando line figure in this wave to go, I think

Yeah, I didn't get that one yet as it was a Targe Exclusive. Might have to hit up the ole Blood Hound Dan.

The latest Boba Fett figures are just stellar when it comes to likeness. I was going to buy the Morak version from Hasbro Pulse for 24.99€ because all other dealers sell it for 28€ or so. But meanwhile it's sold out on Pulse as well. Glad you could remove that residue with ease. Stickers are a collector's enemy I guess.

I recently found a good deal on the Gaming Greats Zaalbar figure on ebay. After only 9 working days it arrived today with FREE shipping from the UK.
Packaging and paint apps are both just okay, but for 15.83€ a piece I'm still a happy camper.
So thankful for the Gaming Greats line and that Eric shows so much dedication to gaming characters. I hope we'll see Zaalbar in TVC as well.

I found the Morak Fett in target a week ago or so, after going twice a week for several months. You never know when this stuff is going to drop, then it's gone. I hesitated preordering, then it was gine. Later I decided I wanted it, because I had made a bunch of jungle plants and trees, so a morak scene would work great, especially with the Slave I in the back.

That sounds like a nice idea

Here is the last one, unless I want to splurge on the Mando/Grogu/spider blister pack figure

Game Stop shipped the latest Republic Commando. In just an envelope, unpadded. I don't know how it came in this good of a shape.

Very nice arrivals, Shawn! I'm happy that we get some directors including the maker himself in disguise, again. DELTA SQUAD is almost complete for The Black Series and I so SO hope for an all-new sculpt of Republic Commandos for The Vintage Collection!
