Topic: The Latest from Tunghori

[Darth More]

Indeed, that would be a hot topic. I'm going to share the information that I gathered over the past months, soon. Do you still host podcasts? There are so many different threads here that haven't been updated for a while. If only we had more time for the hobby...

[Tamer]

I has been awhile since I hosted one. Lots more tech out there now to do it and record it all. Like you say though, the time to actually do it and continue it.

TungHori listed two more Imperial characters recently:

Who knows if this means that Hasbro are going to repack these. I think chances are quite high that we'll see both of them on Vintage cardbacks - easy repacks and as tired as the brand team seems to be of the 3.75" line, it would be no surprise to me.

I also forgot to mention that he also got some rare Kashyyyk Clone Troopers - one of them is the super rare Commander Faie from a TLC Comic Pack!

This picture here is a good example why I try to avoid buying from TungHori by now. He raised the price for TBS #26 Darth Vader (ROTS) to $19.99 and for TCW Boss to $17.99.


Well, I think I can't blame him really because SmythsToys adjusted the price for one of their sets as well after a week...

Yeah, Tunghori definitely has gotten good on raising prices on popular figures. But like you said, they all do it for the most part.

Wanna play some Limbo with Lord Vader? 



How low can you go, Mighty TungHori?

That Arc Trooper is one nice figure.

Got another order the other day. Quicker shipping on his end but it sat in my ends first shipping hub in Chicago for a week, I’ll bet. The box had a fold but no worries, there is usually plenty of bubble wrap in his parcels.
   He did not include the missing Fives helmet that I had asked him about last time. Too bad.
Not pictured is a VC baby yoda and pram
Needed the one training clone cadet for my collection, I’ll sell the other one. The fives I picked up this time was $5 higher than last time, I believe.
  That Yaddle looks cool. I’ll probably wait for the RV to go down before I order again, that and overseas shipping has gotten wonky lately.
  Got an imported model kit the other day, also from China, that took about 3 months to arrive. It sat in my countries first shipping hub for a month, I’ll bet.

Sorry to hear that, Clint. I made a similar experience when I asked for two extra parts for the VC Rebel Fleet Trooper. He said it could be included with my next order and then it's forgotten.
Maybe he's too busy, but I can also imagine that the amount of orders declined since he left ebay, also because he rose prices significantly.
I'd keep asking 'til you get your part. It happened before and I'm sure he doesn't tell you to ship it just for being polite. But things certainly changed and I wouldn't say for the better.

Production might have been moved to Taiwan by now and I got the impression that mighty Tung has got trouble getting the latest figures.

I miss the good ole days when the figures were cheap!

#metoo! Back in 2006 when he was known as BlackSheepToyStore you could get 5 Snowtroopers for $12+$5 shipping. I remember winning an auction with 5 Jet Troopers from the BFII Multipack for $8 back then. That was also how ActionFigureExpert managed to build such a massive Clone Army!
Times have changed and not to the better.

Grand Army of the Republic III ( Clone Wars ) Star Wars Clone Troopers by ActionFigureExpert

Would you believe that his Grand Army video has hit over a Million views by now?


Guess what, the German government came up with the brilliant idea do charge ALL shipments from China with customs and import fees since July 1. So thanks to TungHori for filling in the customs declaration form with $10 value. He used to write $5 value. I had to pick up my parcel at the post office today, they charged me 1.56€ tax plus 6€ general customs fee. Isn't that great? I mean I'm just happy I didn't end up paying an extra 20 bucks!

Somebody gotta pay the bill for that Covid-19 disaster right?

Oh, and the VC171 Stormtrooper (Freezing Chamber) was not included. I asked TungHori and paid the Stormie separately so that's probably why it was forgotten - another $17 gone.

Didn't even notice that the new TVC ARC Troopers come without the DC-17 Carbines, which is a pity because they could be attached to their backpacks...



Hope you got a better Friday.
