I got a shipping soon email from Pulse this week about my holiday Jawas. This stuff is all hitting so fast. Thank goodness I am not collecting everything from all the Hasbro lines, or I'd be in debt right now with all the product coming in rapid fire like it is.

Target is apparently shipping the Kenobi show Vader already.

Haven't gotten my Showbi-Wan Vader shipping notice yet, but I'm keeping a close eye on it. Really excited for that one.

Hunter and Echo should be here today from Wal-Mart. I still have an odd feeling and don't know why, but hey, I was nervous about Tech and the Commando and they got here just fine. I'll just keep doing the ol' pre-order Tango with Fives and hopefully one of the store pickups will actually work. I'm at a half dozen so far.

Aaaand my suspicions were half correct! Hunter got here alright, but they gave me another Wrecker in place of Echo. At least he's still available for order, but I'm a little worried to place another order now. But hey, who knows- maybe I'll luck out and they'll send Fives this time. 🤣 

EDIT: Well, apparently Echo isn't in stock, they just canceled my order. I weep.

Just received Kenobi battle damage Vader from Target. The helmet damage is superb. The other damage on his chest controls is ok, the damage on the cape is lame. The elbow range is REALLY good. I'm glad to have a unique Vader for this series, I appreciate significant differences when it's generally the same figure released over and over again.

Hope I can get that Vader someday. 

Got Sabine today from Pulse. Great figure! I didn’t have a problem getting her helmet to fit. Nice likeness.

Had a spot of luck last night and found Morgan Elsbeth at GameStop. Wasn't showing up as in-stock for store pickup, but I popped in anyway, and lo and behold! The only one from the new wave on the shelf. Great likeness, but definitely in need of some oomph. Gonna try and give her a Marvel Legends hand- maybe MCU Scarlett Witch? And maybe one of the green swirly effects from Classic Loki.

Since Gamestop changed a few things in their system their in store numbers on the app and site have been fucked. The guy at my Gamestop here told me just to call if I'm looking for anything and he'll see if he has it because it can't be trusted anymore. The store had like 6 figures that I checked for on the app that said weren't there. It sucks cause I used to use that to see if I wanted to go in and pick something up without having to bug the employees. But now it's broken.

Walmart had Krystapsporzingis this morning.  Walmart is hard to figure out sometimes, I didn't think my store would carry that figure.

Got slapped with the dreaded "backordered" on my Target Vader. 😓 Hoping I won't have another headache like WalMart has given me this week (and they all have lately)

I wouldn't worry. Mine said backordered yesterday and I got an email this morning that he was shipping and should arrive by the 9th...but I suspect sooner.

I went to a Target this morning, expecting to be disappointed, and I was. But they actually seemed to have received a lot of the new Ahsoka wave, though they only had Ahsoka and the HK-87 left. They also had Krrsantan and the Cobb Vanth 2-Pack. This Target NEVER has new figures. So that was cool. 

I say disappointed though, because I was looking for Appo. And they did indeed have them, but the clerk said "they're probably in a box somewhere..." "Could you...get them?" "No."

I didn't feel like making a scene, so I just smiled and left. That sucked. BUT! I checked the app on the way out, and he was available for shipping, so I bought two to use as my 501st troopers since I never got any of those before. Oddly, they're supposed to get here by Tuesday, way before Vader, even though I ordered him back in July. 

Target moved my arrival date for Vader to today. But on the site it says next Sunday. Then they sent me a notification it's coming today. Site still says next Sunday. Hopefully this is the most exciting thing to happen to me today.

Was somehow able to place an order for Echo through Wal-Mart's site again. Says it should be here tomorrow. We'll see what they end up sending me this time. 🤣  Let's hope it's actually my order and not another......bad batch. 

I got some figures in today.  Ahsoka and Sabine from the Ahsoka show, and final battle Vader and Commander Appo from the Kenobi show.

First off, so happy the window packaging is back.  Second, the Sabine and Ahsoka face scans/head sculpts are two of the best Hasbro has ever done.  They look just like them.

I love this final battle Vader though.  It's so cool.  

I'm sure someone has asked this already, but alas: In the new Archive wave, what difference do Luke and Vader have from previous releases?

And I'm guessing the Stormtrooper is the one we got from Mando and ROTJ?

Duel's End Vader is superb. Amazing headsculpt!
