Ref: Cover Girl - Her and Bludd are the only figures from the entire line I've never seen in-store.  Still don't have her, but have heard she has been popping up in various places.

That’s it for tonight’s show ladies and gents. He’ll be doing an encore performance tomorrow night.  Tip your server, and don’t forget to try the veal. 😝

@vicious7171 I don't think I ever got over some of those Walmart screwups a few years back with Star Wars and Marvel Legends especially (they hosed a few preorders for Joes too, right?). If I can get an order in, I really try to go with Pulse because while they're usually the last ones to ship, they've never canceled on me. 

Of course your post just made me go look up where I ordered the set from and fun fact: the search bar in your order history on Pulse is... NOT GOOD.

Was the Walmart Quarrel and Falcon 2 pack supposed  to ship this month?  My order history still has them listed for October release. Been that way in my list for awhile now.

@docsilence just make sure the glue is completely dry before you put the arm back in and you should be fine. You could also, and it's a little riskier, put the arm back in and then pull it out again real quick after the glue dries just in case, check the peg to see if there's any sticky. Also could put the arm back on and just keep rotating it for a bit after you think the glue is dry but you're not sure. The good thing about locktite, is it usually dries really fast, especially when exposed to the air. Shouldn't need more then 10-15 min before the arm is good to reassemble. Unless you have the delayed drying kind, which I think only comes in gel. So you should be good. I usually move the joint for a few seconds after I think the glue is dry just to make sure.

My Quarrel 2 pack is also slated for October. October is gonna be a money drain. Quarrel 2 pack, Baylan exclusive figure, Ahsoka the white, the Beskar Imp Commandos, Target exclusive Mando, and HACKS Red Sonja is rumored to be released sometime in Oct as well. Expensive month. That's like, $200+ right there. Then anything that gets released early could pop in too.

With all the above Falcon/Quarrel talk, I checked my Pulse order. It says Nov 1.  Boo!

Which is weird cause even the product page says oct still. I just checked to make sure. I wonder why they haven't updated the product page.

Thanks for the recommendations for tacics. I use Loctite for assembling minis when I'm painting so I always have a spare bottle around. Hopefully this fixes it without my accidentally freezing her arm in place. 

I wouldn't use glue. Bazooka boots were like yhis and thought it could be fixed with trimming, filling only to have a fd up figure and I customize lol. Glue is never the answer. Glue most likely won't even work. Don't make the figure worse.

That annoys me a little. I bought one off ebay not long ago for a reasonable price, but it was still more then retail. If I knew bbts was gonna get her in again I would've waited.

these were found at Ross, so there's a cance bbts bought the rest of the stock.

I didn't know she was hard to come by.   I figured she was destined to hit discount the way Lady Jaye and Zarana and other females from this line seem to.

she did. She was at Ross for 6 but not like the others.

I just got my Doc (& retro Recondo) yesterday.  I was fiddling around with his gear, and got a bit frustrated.  While I can get his glasses on, I can get his helmet on, I can’t seem to get both on the figure together.  Am I missing some trick to this?  Did anyone else have this issue?

I was able to nab Doc at Walmart last week. Doc, Jinx, Night Creeper and Torch were on the shelves, 2 of each, which seemed like a fresh case to me.
