Pretty card, Shawn. Man, USPS is sure pokey nowadays. Any midsized parcels have added days to their cross country transit. I have multiple I’m tracking, both outbound and inbound and they just seem to sit mid shipment for days, it seems. I sent out a large oversized parcel that made it to California in 3 days last week which is days ahead of when the normal sized stuff will arrive. Too much mail and not enough help.

my boxes from Hasbro have actually been coming in fine. I think the cards are getting damaged when they put em in cases or when they start removing them from the case and shipping the single orders.

Found a black series tech at target yesterday

Very nice Clint

[Clonehead]

Got this one in the mail today
He shipped it wrapped in bubble wrap in a bubble mailer envelope, Shawn.

Not too warpy but certainly not perfect

Still missing a few but here they are lined up

Trust me, Wal-Mart normally ships worse than that Clint.

Speaking of not so great shipping I got in the first of my Target DROIDS Figures. It was shipped in a box that was to small for the length and it warped the top of the card (think I can bend it back) and then had a sticker on the back of the card. I am happy to report it peeled off without damage.

Yet another exclusive line I knew nothing about

Looks nice, Shawn

 Glad it comes off easy. It doesn't look bad though overall. That item in particular is meant to be on card, shame retailers don't understand that.

Yeah, every Q and A I do with Hasbro they say they are gonna make sure the retailers know, but somewhere along the line someone doesn't care enough to ship these correctly.

I wonder what the other two I got will look like? Hopefully not worse. And you gotta wonder why they didn't ship them all out at the same time?

[Clonehead]

That is weird. Like they weren’t originally produced in the same location.
    Or one of the case packers said “I need me one o these Fetts”, and split the case up. Not sure
I’ll keep an eye open for them

Honestly, it’s frustrating being a collector who broke in when the brick and mortar stores were kings of the toy scene.
    All of this pre ordering, crowd funding, minutely produced exclusives released without warning, mystery variants that may or may not show up at any of the stores you know, cancellations, delays, I mean, geez!
  What a pain in the butt

[Tamer]

Yes, the number of store exclusives and how they break information is making it very hard to keep up. I swear the last few weeks they have added new figures and new store exclusives everyday.

Yeah it's that whole bring home the Bounty thing. Every week until the end of the year they release new star wars stuff. Not always hasbro. I always end up forgetting.  Tomorrow something is supposed to drop, may or may not be hasbro.

Ahh, I forgot about that promo as well.

Got my remnant stormie in the mail today.
Pretty card and nice shipping box this time, Shawn.
Don’t know about the Grogu and Mando on the same card. Walmart exclusives……wish they packed the end caps with em like 10 years ago.

Private seller

I got a case of the old Walmart exclusive Scarif Stormtrooper. So thats 12 plus the 15 i already had, for 27 total. Too bad these came with the E-11, instead of their iconic E-22. I think ill arm them with miscellaneous weapons though. Scatterblasters, quad cannons, rotary cannons, grenade launchers, missile launchers, all that good stuff.

Wow, I love your battalion of coastal Stormtroopers. I really like the footage on Scarif and agree that Hasbro could have given us both blasters with several repacks of the Scarif Stormtrooper and a MRSP of $12.99/21.99€!
I think you made great use of different weapons for your soldiers! FialaFernbrugg surprised me by giving the 2-Pack with the Squad Leader to me. And of course Hasbro included the E-22 blaster with this 5POA figure. If this tenth of a gram more of plastic made a difference in cost for Hasbro. But I'm going to recast it to also gave the resin casts some nice paint & scratches. Thanks for sharing your pictures! Army-building is always fun to look at!
