Vader and Appo(s) are out for delivery. I knew that Oct. 9th date wouldn't hold up. 🙂 

Yesterday morning I saw Duel's End Vader at every local Target available for online order and pickup.  This morning I see him available at NONE of those same stores.  A year or more ago I'd think this was a figure flying off the shelves, and I still lean towards it being that, but they've been so terrible at inventory management this year I can't fully trust that it's inventory being sold as opposed to just disappearing in their system.  🤨 

Either way if you want him order him NOW.  He does still show as available for shipping as of right now, but if he's selling as fast as it appears I expect him to go out of stock any day now.

Supposedly they attempted to deliver Vader yesterday at 11:53am but no one answered the door. Which is really odd since we were in the front yard for a good chunk of the day yesterday. No sign of the notice they claim to have left as well, but now it's at the post office waiting for me to pick it up.

WTF?  Target has NEVER used signature confirmation on anything I've ever ordered.

@enigmaticclarity Right? Really weird. Part of me is braced to not get the item at all. And that's okay, it's a little plastic man etc etc, but still... really odd.

I'm not sure why, but almost every figure that's shipped lately, no matter where it's from- Amazon, Target, Wal-Mart, etc., has started needing a signature on it. I'll get an email from UPS (even when ordering from Amazon, which is strange) that it'll need a signature upon delivery. I started just pre-signing for it all on UPS' site so they'll leave it, since my buzzer only works half the time.

ROTJ Vader is out for delivery for me, as is Echo (the suspense is killing me on who it'll be!). No shipping on Duel's End Vader yet, but I'm sure he'll be here soon.

Ordered Vader, Krrsantan and Luke/Grogu with the Target promo. 

Well, the Duel's End Vader came without issue. I went to the post office since they said it was waiting for me to pick it up, but they informed me the guy had already taken it on the truck and was on his route. It just came to the door and they left it as usual, no signature required. Maybe he just didn't feel like bothering yesterday and fabricated the 'notice was left' report? Took too long making his 'special deliveries' to get to everything else so he just called it a day. And I have no problem with that; we all have needs.

Received retro carded RotJ Luke and Vader from Amazon, separate days. Luke last week, Vader today. Luke came out pristine, but I think I want another to open. Spotted him at GameStop but bought Cairo Indy instead. Vader came with a bent card, so I guess I'm opening him, but he looks great in that bubble, so I look forward to messing with him. My current RotJ display has Emperor's Wrath Vader from Walgreens lifting Palpatine up while Luke lays on the ground recovering from Sith force lightning. I love that set up, it's one of the more action-oriented poses I could fit in my displays. Not sure where this new Vader and Luke will go, since they could basically represent the minutes before or after the scene I just described. Maybe they'll be desk figures.

Disappointed in my RotJ Vader. It’s a good figure. Mine is defective, as it seems to have had its left index finger sliced off at the knuckle. That could be annoying to replace. The two piece helmet is nice, but fits a little loosely for my liking. The head sculpt is very good though. It could pass for Christensen or Shaw, which works for me.

I got my ROTJ Vader also. Would love to know if anyone has managed to actually get his mask and helmet on appropriately. 

I guess it's not that big a deal, will probably display him with the mask off anyway.

Sad that they couldn't put some paints apps on the dismembered arm. It doesn't look good. 

Kenobi show Vader coming tomorrow.

Well crap.  I missed the pre-order for the battle damaged Vader & now I missed the 24 hour window he was available to order.  I was really hoping to catch this one, but I can't really hunt much.

Amazon has some listings for 1/12 scale cloaks for Bandai figures though may work for Baylan and Shin. $13.99 isn't bad as far as those things go. Yes it's terrible when it could have been included with the figure, but looking at etsy and such it seems like a good price.

Pretty stoked I was able to grab Sabine, Chopper, Elspeth and Ezra at retail out here in New Zealand. It can get a bit unpredictable out here on when things will land, and sometimes I have to end up buying off Amazon or elsewhere at a higher price point. 

Got ROTJ Vader from Amazon yesterday. Haven't gotten around to opening him yet, but he looks nice. I'm nowhere near as picky with my Vaders as many are- as long as I can tell who he is and he looks good and menacing, I'm cool with it! My boyfriend is the opposite- Vader is his favorite villain of all time; he's not much of a figure collector, but every Vader piece that comes out, he takes a moment to scrutinize. 😆 However, he actually got himself one of the ROTJ Vaders, so there must be something he likes about it!

Wal-Mart also finally came through with Echo yesterday! 5th time's the charm! He's really nice, though some of that love I'm sure is just my sheer happiness at finally getting the right order! Was surprised to see that he comes already helmeted in the package- probably due to his helmet technically being incomplete, and more prone to warping? Either way, I'm happy to finally have the full s2 Batch. Their colors really pop. Now I'm just after Fives, and I'll be done with this headache of a wave!

Was really hoping to find more of the Ahsoka wave while the show was airing like others have, but I'm lucky to have even found the one. So stoked for tonight's finale, and all the figures that are still to come!
