Lots of stuff around me. All the stores are flying threw SW figures (TVC/BS) some sit, but not one figure is assured every store. 5below has gotten the SOLO stuff  and random drops of REX wave ... Which I just missed only because I was talking to a fellow fan 4hrs at mall (just met him after TROS) BUT was able to grab 2 more Royal Guards and a real bad FO stormie (sloppy paint and even a human hair in the torso!). The online sales have been insane too folks! Its been hard for me to not just drop $$$ on more boatloads' of stuff, so I limited myself to the EE $20 SKIFF and grabbed the discounted TLJ stuff I never got.

I am hoping to get one on clearance after the holidays.

I did something today, that I very rarely do if ever. I bought a 6" figure. I got the Target exclusive C-3PO and Babu Frik figures. I doubt they'll ever make a 3.75 Babu Frik, with 5poa being gone, but he'd be tiny if they did, so I got this. I also got materials to make his work station. Hopefully. The 3po doesn't have the red eyes like some do. I heard if you put him in cold water his eyes turn, but I don't know. I was thinking maybe put LEDs in his eyes, but I'm not sure how that would work. 
He sits good enough, I think. I payed less than $15 so I want to do something with it. Right now I have a mild
Babu Frik obsession.

I went to Walmart to look for something very specific for my latest diorama, didn't find it. So I got the TVC Zorii Bliss. I took it home, tore open the packaging, then tried to put it in a nice static pose and the hand tore completely off the peg. So I just glued it back on. Meh. I was at least going to use it as fodder, but that wouldn't be great with a gimp hand. Maybe I'll make a little Kijimi display. Too bad there are no other corresponding figures from that scene, or any other scene with her in it.  I can use TFA first Order Snowtrooper that would work.

Nice Luke. I haven't found a thing to buy lately. I did get a couple of Hallmark Ornaments if those count. The Boba Helmet and the Death Star from a couple years ago.

5bellow is still getting in the SOLO/BS stuff. Was finally able to get a REX @ a far away location yesterday, along with my 6th EMPEROR GUARD! And billionth FO STORMTROOPER and a lone SOLO FO STORM TROOPER OFFICER.

All hard deals to pass up. They even had XMAS 75% so I got some joke tees for $1.25!!!

Hope everyone has had a safe and happy holidays!

Really awesome purchases there! Collectors of the Black Series were very well treated in 2019! I mean the figures are really great, the only Thing that bugs me is the fact that Hasbro treat The Vintage Collection not even half as well as they do The Black Series...

Haha that's nice! You could be Right with Babu Frik in 1/18 scale since Hasbro don't give a frik for the 3.75" line anymore…
Looking awesome so far! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Also really like your new profile pic by the way and how it underlines your new obsession with Babu. Guess you are not as much of a fan of The Child? The hype is real. But I agree - in some scenes the cuteness is a ittle over the top.

ROTJ is just a beautiful choice by Hasbro. I'm glad they made him in both scales. Congrats to this purchase - he makes a nice addition to your collection!
