@supercamel-1982 Yeah, that's my feeling as well. Looking at the YakFace notifications of products arriving at the Hasbro warehouse, and looking at all my pre-orders, methinks I'm in for a very expensive few weeks. But hey, who needs to eat when you can have cool plastic on your shelves?

Hey man, Where do you see or how do you get Yakface notifications of what is showing up at Hasbro Warehouses?

Amazon just shipped this out, should have it tomorrow. I think this wasn't supposed to be out until November originally.

I think we're all in a Clone Wars mood after that episode.

Got Krrsantan from Amazon this morning.

Really nice beefy figure. He really can't hold the gun convincingly with both hands, but overall a vast improvement over the comic version.

Thanks for avoiding having Vader be his reflection. 🙂 I've got all those realistic CW figures and have never opened them, but I'm tempted now!

I turn on post notifications for their Instagram page (the little bell icon in the upper right corner of the mobile app; it's not available on desktop for some reason). They always post whenever shipping data says that items have begun arriving in the US (which, to be fair, doesn't necessarily mean at the Hasbro warehouse, but generally, I'll get a shipping notification a few weeks after YakFace makes the post), and it'll send me a little push notification for all new posts.

@schizm Funny you should say that LOL

That was my original intention, but I didn't at all like how it was coming out. The Clones had stormtrooper reflections and Obi had an old Ben reflection. But Vaders just wasn't coming out looking right so I scrapped it.

Amazon had initially said my Krrsantan and ROTJ Luke & Vader would be shipping this week, but got pushed back to the end of the week/next week. Gives me a bit more time to save before the onslaught of pre-order arrivals.

Krrsantan came in on Saturday and he's great. I'm sure you've all heard this before but I can confirm the paint detail on him is very nice. He is missing his scar, though, and there's really no paint on the back fur. His articulation is a bit hampered, but not bad by any means considering his design. He is quite large and seems properly scaled. It still sucks he doesn't come with fists and electro-fists considering his deluxe price point.

 

RotJ Luke, Vader and R2 are being delivered to me as we speak. It's my favorite Star Wars film so I can't wait to open up those figures!

I finally got my Hunter in from TBB season 2. I love him, and will most definitely try to be grabbing Tech, Wrecker, and Echo if I find them in stores / if they show up online for a decent price when I have extra spending money. I am glad to at least have Hunter, Omega on preorder, and the walmart exclusive Crosshair can go well with them (even though they never saw each other in S2 I think?)

 

Still really hoping Fives goes back up in decent quantities, I really want him.

Just picked up Mon Mothma and this figure is absolutely beautiful! The sculptor is an asshole for making the heels two drastically different lengths. I never have issues with heeled figures, but these heels aren't even close to the same length.

That said, seeing this beauty next Holdo just shows why soft goods should never be a thing at this scale. Agatha Harkness from Marvel Legends is another great example of how much better plastic looks.

It makes me want a Theed Palace Queen Amidala ASAP!

Darth Malgus showed up today and I just have to say this is a first - Amazon just slapped a shipping label on the box and send him raw. I can't stop laughing. Imagining what a MOC collector would have done with this thing. 

Had the S2 Bad Batch fellas for a few weeks before opening them cos work was crazy and while I was doubting if I needed both versions... these just POP. The colors bring out so much in them and the face scans feel even better. Love these dudes.

I had the exact same thing! I was internally screaming about it heh.

Also 'raw' made me laugh.

Damn, what the hell?    Is Amazon trying to join Wal-Mart in the "worst shippers ever" club?   That's just nuts.

@ru1977 I actually can't stop laughing at it myself because that's what I blurted out when the package showed up on my steps. "What, they just shipped him raw?" and didn't even mean for it to sound as filthy as it did.
