I was surprised to see that I could add VC186 Boba Fett and VC184 Grogu to the cart for the very first time. So TungHori still re-stocks them as long as they're listed on his website.

If you're interested, I wish you luck to get your samples while supplies last!

Both are still available as of this post. Mr Greef Karga is gone already, but Bespin Leia and Zutton are still there as well.

I wonder if he still sells on the bay?

Thanks for the update.

I'm sure he does not because the bay p'ed him off. He usually doesn't express any emotions or gives away further background information, but he was really upset about ebay when he left.

Right now VC186 Boba and the little green guy with pram are back in stock!

Still no more arc troopers. I think those are done

Glad I grabbed some. Haven’t seen enough to pull another trigger yet but all it would take would be another good figure or two

He still owes me an arc helmet

Well, I think as long as he got them listed, they might be still available. You might get lucky by sending him a message. I did the same thing even a day after I made my purchase. The notification of shipment was already in box when I asked him for TVC Greef Karga because he's constantly sold out...and he was still able to add one to my order, which arrived yesterday - 10 days after I paid for my latest order:



This time around the cardboard box arrived quite damaged. The German customs might have taken a closer look inside.

Honestly though the ROTS Vader is the best Vader in many ways. As soon as I saw this and it and added to my cart, which consisted of army buders and figures for customs, i checked out. Thanks for the reminder.

Just added the picture of my "last plus one extra" order above. It arrived after 10 days even though I asked tunghori to add one more figure a day after payment! Amazing.

JDeck: I agree! And I don't think I have this Vader in my collection, yet. So need to get him especially he's based on his appearance in Revenge of the Sith! Glad you could secure one in time!  0/


Tamer: I agree, especially since Boss comes with two (extra) pistols! Still, I'm sure if the figures are still listed, you can send tunghori a message to ask if the "out of stock" figure can still be added to your order. Worked at my last order, too.

Lost some time looking this morning. Dude has a lot of great figures in stock. Alas the days of cheap fodder seem to be over though. Wow, the price on that Gamo Guard had me choking for a few seconds. Still, guess it must be decent compared to what the going rate is I guess. The RC was still in stock.

Yeah I dropped $120 last night on these figures. Got that ROTS Vader. Im disappointed that Hasbro didn't retool that figure for the R1 Vader. Instead they used the same tired sculpt. The ROTS Vader I had, I tried to make an "Ultimate Vader", but the parts didn't fit very well and he basically was a statue, which isn't very Ultimate, so this one im going to leave alone. Also git a couple more ATST drivers stormtrooper lukes, yakface , brock starsher and boushh leia to have as regular boushh for my bounty hunter crew.

Wow, the fan favorite rerelease is already there. Tunghori makes money off of peoples' impatience.

Off to share on the front pages.

Yes, but as far as I know it's a Pulse exclusive. So collectors in the UK will be lucky, too!
I suppose Tunghori follows the Star Wars news closely. And these are obviously the cancelled/lost/Italian etailer exclusive Black Series versions of the Republic (Havoc) Trooper.

Sometimes I wonder how many units are stored in the factories. I can imagine tipper wagons full of figures that were not packed/didn't pass quality control. I'm pretty certain that's part of the source for Tunghori.
But I doubt the factories will just print the photo-real deco on possible left over units. It'll probably be cheaper to just produce a new run of units.

I remember when I asked Tughori for TLC Shaak Ti (TFU), some rare Astromech Droids and TLC Jaina Solo. He sometimes has figures which he wouldn't list in his store. Must have been 2014 or so and he charged me $20 each. It were 7 figures for $140 extra, felt expensive back in the day, but every time I look at them now, makes me happy to have them.
I wonder how much he charges for his figures under the counter today...

Back when we were podcasting I always thought it would be fun to have a good ole talk just about Tunghori and how he gets his stuff and continues to get away with selling Hasbro's rejects which we can only assume they are.

I kind of figured they would eventually put a stop to it, but evidently Hasbro can't touch him.
