Love to see the Rebel ground crew figure.  His helmet is different than the original release.  Still white but it was a different helmet and it makes this figure even more desirable.  Sorry this guy was not a regular release.  I bought five of these from Tunghori recently.  Keep looking for more.  I use the helmet with the Indiana Jones Russians to add to my Rebel troops.

UKHistory: Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you were able to snag some of his units. It seems I missed out completely. I wasn't sure about the helmet, but thanks for the clarification that it's indeed an unpainted Rebel Fleet Trooper helmet.
I keep my fingers crossed that with the success of the Speeder Bike, Hasbro will give the Ground Crew transport another launch!

TungHori continues his strive with two more figures from The Clone Wars era.
Boba Fett was only included with the epic Ultimate Battle Pack "The Rise of Boba Fett", which was exclusive to Toys "R" Us!

You gotta wonder how he is still getting TCW Figures. Maybe he has his own factory?

Off to share.

Good question, but I doubt he has his own factory. But good connections to the factory for sure! I can imagine they have thousands of units extra that weren't carded. Depending on the amount of figures they produce every day, they might have factory rejects or figures to be boxed later in the hundreds if not thousands. The times of TCW, TAC-SOTDS Saga Legends was probably the prime time for highest numbers produced.
Their stock might last 'til today if they have transport wagons like this full of loose figures of the same character.


This one is made in Germany, holds 415 liters and costs 758€ including 19% sales tax.

Speaking of damaged figures and factory rejects, this is the last torture droid I received - great for customizing and adding my own "tools":

Bummer...and yet not. Customizing let's us take a damaged figure and make it something special, doesn't it? I look forward to seeing your new interrogator droid.

Didn't receive an answer to my last email. Maybe my wishlist of loose parts was too long.
Oh, well...business must be good these days.

This version of Rey has become quite expensive on the secondary market.

Yeah, I find that interesting. I was able to buy several of her on clearance a few years ago.
