ROYAL SURPRISE!!!

I just discovered tunghori‘s latest listing:

TBS Emperor’s Royal Guard for $9.99, which is pretty reasonable compared to his other listings! When he offered the Royal Guard for the first time last year, it was listed for $24.99 as far as I remember and he had about 20 units, which sold right through.
I don’t know if it’s just a mistake, but now it’s back in stock for less than 10 bucks! Could this imply that the return of the ERG into The Vintage Collection is already in the works?

You can use the link above to get to his ebay store.

ATTENTION -- ATTENTION!!

--- WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET! ---


My latest order from tunghori arrived on Monday and what I saw when I opened the package is too good to be true:










Good ole tunghori listed the ERG as TBS version, but in the pictures you can see the TVC version.
First, I thought he was just using old pictures and didn't take new ones, but here comes the surprise:

After carefully comparing both ERGs with the Black Series version, I can now confirm that tunghori is actually selling the original (VC105) Emperor's Royal Guard of The Vintage Collection and not The Black Series repack! So far he sold about 150 units within 2 weeks for the original retail price of $9.99 each. The Black Series ERG sold for $12.99 in stores.
To me this is a clear indication that we'll see the Emperor's Royal Guard retun into The Vintage Collection in 2019!


"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!"


Take a look for yourself in the Photo Archive on rebelscum.com:

TVC VC105:

TBS (Walmart):
http://www.rebelscum.com/Emperors-Royal-Guard-The-Black-Series-Walmart.asp


He keeps relisting 19 per auction and I hope he won't stop, soon. Happy hunting!



I'm very happy to have waited and didn't pay 30-100 bucks for a TVC Royal Guard...

Not careful enough...

I have to apologize and to correct my statement from yesterday:

I checked pictures on jedibusiness too since I didn’t find any reference for comparison on YouTube or elsewhere. I don’t own a TVC Royal Guard myself so I could just compare tunghori‘s version to my black series ERG which I got new.

Here’s my mistake:

The TVC version has got a slightly different face, the same fabric around the hips as the robe and a 5-digit number scratched into his belt on the back.
Tunghori‘s Version does not have these three properties. So the figure  itself from tunghori is the Black Series version, without the Black print on his right upper leg. Only the robe is made of the fabric of the TVC version. The rest of the accessories can’t be assigned to any line for sure.
I still suppose this might be the version, Hasbro will bring back into the vintage collection. It looks like the first release except for the head and skirt.

I am very sorry for the mess and hope I didn’t cause any financial loss.

I actually wanted to post this two weeks ago already, when tunghori listed TVC Wave 4 (20) for the first time. I’ve been hoping that he would adjust/reduce the prices a little bit, but he hasn’t done so. He probably never will, but by now my limit is reached - he has become too expensive asking prices above the MRSP of new figures at retail.
He relisted the figures several times - if you were looking for these figures loose, here is your chance:
He also listed the Leia (Boushh), but it’s the TBS version, NOT TVC. He might list her later on.

It looks like good ole tunghori is also aware of the approaching delivery of Jabba’s Sail Barge (the Khetanna). He listed some “new” and “old” Skiff Guards, too!
If you missed them in the last years, here’s your second chance to get them loose for reasonable prices:

Thanks Tamer. My last order arrived today:





It took 15 days to get from Hongkong to Germany, through the customs (no taxes and charges) and I'm a very happy dude now!

Do you want me to review Yak Face and Klaatu? Your feedback is always appreciated.

Tamer: Thank you, I'll complete my review of YakFace as soon as possible.


Now, it seems like tunghori received his very first and own Hasbro exclusive figure:

The TVC Mimban Stormtrooper - clean variant!

I wonder what's up with this one...let me know your thoughts!
