Yes, I hope they continue to order TVC, too! LEGO is one of their best selling brands though.
I'm on my way to SmythsToys now because they put the Phase I Clone Trooper on 25% discount.
Fingers crossed that there's still one left on pegs...

They have a good selection of Micro Galacy Squadron here. And they have the second largest toy section here in Dresden after SmythsToys.

I couldn't come here on Saturday. So I rode my bike this morning and had the wind against me. But I still arrived there at 10:03 am, just 5 minutes after they opened their gates. And it was worth it.
Their online inventory showed that they had 1 left in stock. Here's another proof that they always have one unit more than shown online.










Those 5 POA still don't sell, I doubt they ever will!








My buddy who collects 1/64 scale die-casts said scalpers seem to be very active here as well.
Lot's of dudes chasing those super treasure hunts...


It was a nice ride home because I the wind in my back and two Clone in my backpack. Successful store hunt & another happy landing.

You already know it's gonna be bad if your order arrives in an envelope. GLS is not known for delivering well even though they claim to be the best in Germany. What an illusion.
The first delivery failed on Monday because I was home 15 minutes after them.
Yesterday, they dropped it at my neighbors'.

I actually wanted to buy 4 of them online, but could only take 2 due to limited stock. They were sold out online after I placed my order. So I guess I got the last ones they had.
I'm glad I still got another couple in store on Monday because they were shipped in a bag.
Another example of buy-more-to-get-your-stuff-shipped-in-a-box.




One bubble is crunched on the right, corners are obviously dented, scratches on the artwork and a crease goes from one side to another. I could be mad, but it makes it easier to open those two.



Thanks for taking the time for reading this nonsense drama.

Update: I reached out to their consumer service and got a response right away. They offered me 10% discount on my online order, which I accepted. So I effectively paid 13,41€ for the two VC309s with damaged cards.
