I picked up Vader today (I'm in Australia, also). It's $55 here at EB Games/Zing (for comparison, they sell regular Black Series waves for $45, the comic box ones for $60, and deluxes around $65). They do price higher than other stores, who sell regular Black Series for around $40.

I had a gift voucher though (with the reminder, I picked up the McFarlane 1966 Batcave set for $45, which again highlights how badly Hasbro prices their figures, although McFarlane stuff has definitely risen recently and the Batcave is a bit old now... heh, get it, 1966). I'd have been very hesitant otherwise (annoying that I couldn't purchase via their eBay store and use my monthly eBay Plus voucher, because then I couldn't use my EB gift voucher as well and would have to pay my own money).

Still, their prices stretch the friendship. I definitely don't get regular releases there. But this one would appear exclusive and along with gift voucher, it was a no brainer. Worth it alone for the headsculpt. And like @mickjohnson said - someone else try and rip that helmet off. 😛

These prices are giving me heart palpitations...

Testing.

Thwipp!

Got shipping notices for the entire Bad Batch wave from Wal-Mart. Kinda wish they weren't all being shipped separately; especially around here in my neck of NY, the more packages there are, the more likely one will end up stolen or lost in transit. They should all be delivered some time between Tuesday and Thursday. Based on what I've seen from others, I'm expecting them to look like Wrecker got ahold of them; it's a good thing I'm primarily OOB.

Got Darth Malgus! Such a nice figure. Can’t believe Hasbro finally made a figure of this guy. I’ve loved rewatching the cutscenes from that game over and over for years. 

Now that the Ghost Haslab has unlocked s4 Kanan, do you guys want s4 versions of the Rebels crew? We are already getting Ezra, but do you think we could get Sabine, Kanan, Hera and Zeb?

Got the new Wrecker yesterday. The rest should be here today/tomorrow. Saw that most of the wave popped back in stock on Wal-Mart's site for those who missed them the first time around.

After last night's Ahsoka, I'm even more excited for Baylon and Shin, whenever they get around to being made. Just such cool characters. Marrok too; excited to learn more. As for the spoiler- it would def be an easy make. Wouldn't say I need it (yet), but I can definitely see Hasbro making it.

What’s the best Anakin we have already? Anything worth it or would it be worth waiting for a new one? 

The Figuarts one which just had a rerelease. Though that was a few short months ago, so it's probably really expensive again. 

There hasn't really been a good one in TBS. If I'm not mistaken every non force ghost version has had parts shared with the original 10 year old figure.

Clone Commandos

I bought three of the Clone Commandos but after opening one I may return the other two. The Delta Squad while there are nits to pick the color gives them more visual appeal than these off white Commandos. The knee pads drive me bonkers. Maybe I’ll keep two to flank the Delta Squad or for use with Imperials and get $28 bucks back for the one. I want those TK troopers. The season two Bad Batch look good. Well I assume Hunter looks good as I haven’t received that one yet. Now to get Omega S2. Seeing the improved Tech head is bitter sweet. I also need a rusty Gonk droid to fill out my crew. Crosshairs needs a Commander Cody to be awesome with. 

Thwipp!

Looks like I may only end up with Wrecker out of this wave. Got an email from Wal-Mart last night saying "there's been a problem with my order", and tracking hasn't updated since Monday. I'll keep things crossed, of course, and I'm not good at math, but it's not the first time I've had to put 2 and 2 together.

Amazed that all of the Bad Batch Walmart figures arrived without a hitch. Each shipped separately, but I'll take it. 

Also, I swore, I SWORE, I would not buy more holiday figures this year, but then they went and made an Ewok and Jawa. An abominable snow Ewok. How do I NOT. Just preordered those two and I know I'm going to get more because I have no willpower.
