Yeah, already contacted DST, who were quick to respond. Since I live in the Netherlands, I'm not sure if contacting Hasbro will help.

Well there is no doubt Dorkside would take care of it and will be easier to deal with, but this is definitely a Hasbro Quality Control Issue.

I read a story this week about a horrible replacement they did for another person with a similar issue this week.

Yeah, a warped leg is one thing.... ;)

Hey, huge shout out to Teri from Dorksidetoys.com. She took care of this in a matter of hours! That's service with a capital S, because I could've been told to just contact Hasbro, since it's not DST's fault. But no, DST truly is a store for collectors. Awesome.

Picked up a black pauldron 6" Sandtrooper yesterday at Walgreens. It was all they had. I'm still hunting for Jedi Luke.

You must have a good Walgreens. I am hearing horror stories about folks trying to find these. Looks like Walgreens is the current favorite place to go though. I might try to find one on a shopping trip this weekend.

Received two more 6" Stormtroopers today. Bought them off eBay for a fair price. Unfortunately, full value was declared on the customs form, resulting in $30 import fees. Oh well, still cool enough to have them.

Hey Remco, if they mark it as "gift" on the customs form, would any duties be owed then?

Got a snowtrooper commander at a target. I had a b Shan in my hand but the paint apps on or around her lips were so bad that I changed my mind and let it go.

Popped into a Disney outlet store and picked up a plageuis and seen a six inch stormie for $15. They had all of their six inchers on sale.

Yep, this one was marked as a gift, but the total value was $45. So in the end I got two Stormtroopers for 26 euros each. The 6" figures are available here, but cost 32 euros ($43) each. Go figure :)

I am so glad I am not an international collector. Is there any way for us to ship these to you as a gift without paying such nonsense fees?
