Nice Shawn. I've never started TBS, and won't, but that Paz/John figure sure looks good.

[Starchaser]

Nice find, Philipp. There are some good figures in there.

Nice Shawn. I've never started TBS, and won't, but that Paz/John figure sure looks good.

Somedays I wished I hadn't but with the price increases it gets easier and easier to pass em up.

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!

Yeah me too Philipp. It would be so nice to see 3.75" get the same love at TBS.

I can see you got quite a hall, nice droids.

Got an unpadded envelope in from walmart. Yep, creased all along the back. I hate walmart, well most shippers nowadays. Daggone why won't anyone ship vintage items in a well packed box anymore?

[DarthHawk]

The answer is simple Tamer. MONEY!!!
The cost of shipping is considerably less using an unpadded envelope than a box that is larger and heavier.
Wally doesn't give a flying rip about your products condition upon arrival.
Wally doesn't care if the item being shipped is a rare find or actually has value to the collecting community.
Wally doesn't care about your opinion of its company once the item has arrived.
The only thing wally cares about is that you and thousands more keep ordering on line so they don't have to invest cash on in store inventory.
It's all about money and nothing but money. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!!!!!
If the fandom stopped ordering products on line and told these companies en masse why the
purchases have stopped it's possible the shipping woes would be addressed.

Yepper Ron while we gripe we still order it knowing it is gonna show up this way. See I have another order on the way. Anyone wanna bet?

Thank you. Since I got the CW Battle Droids for only 4 bucks each, I thought of just doing a simple paintwork and turn them into a Pilot and Security Droids. I wonder if Hasbro will ever give us those units of the CIS in The Vintage Collection.

And I think the bigger margin on The Black Series decides about which line receives more attention. But I'm still optimistic that we'll get what TBS already got eventually. It only takes more time.
I'll just wait, drink my tea and play with the Razor Crest, X-Wings and playsets and army-builder 4-packs that Hasbro gave us. Cheers!

I got two boxes in. I don't even remember ordering these from BBTS, but man their collector grade is hands down awesome:



And the new Hoth 4 pack showed up nice and minty too:

[Clonehead]

Picked up these two yesterday from a GameStop and a Walmart respectively.

Tamer, these exclusives are just two darned expensive.
I have two more RCs to go to complete the set and another six inch Umbra Arc that I just have to have. That’s like another $90 it will cost for those. That’s like, 4 sacks at the grocery store. Perhaps less

[DarthHawk]

YOU CAN GET 4 SACKS OF GROCERIES FOR $90.00???
WOW!!!!!!!!
Food is definitely cheaper in Missouri country.

[Clonehead]

As in plastic Walmart sacks. I hear things are even cheaper if you get away from the city.

[Starchaser]

Look what showed up today:

[Tamer]

Very nice Starchaser!

[JDeck]

I finally opened a bunch of stuff i kept in boxes, because I was fixin to move. It was like Christmas. I did get 2 of those obiwan 3 packs, pretty much just for the troopers, but a couple more jawas doesn't hurt.
Got more morak drivers, which makes 27. I have still an outstanding preorder with Dorkside, for 3 more. Dorkside is getting worse all the time.

[Starchaser]

Wait, did you say 27 Morak drivers? I guess the buck is good for Imperial Infantry so that make sense. I do expect to a WWII style diorama with Imps marching down a French street some day, though.
