Holy crap the number of TVC items I've received in the last month is more than the entire previous year!
I'm a MIB guy and the prices are such that I can't do doubles. But this stuff all looks AMAZING.
I'd be all over an LAAT/le, BTW.
It's $4 for the slow boat. I have that as my default setting but haven't used it since it took 3weeks to get to me even back before the pandemic slowed the mail down even more. Cost of shipping also isn't the sole criterion I judge whether it's worth shipping a PoL. How much fun am I going to have opening a box with a few small items versus a box with a shitload of awesome stuff from across the panoply of toylines is probably more important.
I can understand that. I haven't had any issues with the speed though in a while. Around the pandemic it took like a week for them to even send it out. Now my box is usually out the door the next day and here in 4. It's only ever longer sometimes, by like a day, when they use FedEx. But that's FedEx for you. They'll send it the long way, or the wrong way, and have to fix themselves.
@supermonkey Crazy thing is 18 releases are dropping over the next month with some arriving to retailers now. 2 Deluxe figures, 3 2-packs, Troop builder 4 pack, and 2 full 6 figure waves.
I'm cool with the heavy TVC release schedule. I say bring em on!
It's nice to see some 1:18 Star Wars figure presence again, now lets get working on the vehicles please Hasbro.
@phlutdroid_ig-88b it's true. I have a few more items inbound from Entertainment Earth right now.
I made Nizuk Bek (or whatever his name was) with my extra skiff guard. This is the guy whose blaster Luke Froce-grabs before getting dropped into the rancor pit.
Also, the stuff from the BOBF palace swaps nicely into my Jabba's palace display. Anyone want to trade/buy the archway from the set?
I wasn't going to get the N-1 because I had convinced myself I didn't need it, but I saw it on the shelf at Target during their Circle week sale... and the combination of having a $25 giftcard handy, and a 20% discount that stacked with the $25 off $100 toy purchase deal... it just made it too tempting. I'm just now getting the chance to open it up and enjoy it.
Before the Great Reset, I had shared HoleIntheGroundProductions (Diorama parts for 3 3/4" and 6" action figures (holeinthegroundpro.com)) custom diorama part offerings and wanted to share the latest project I'm putting together:
The Mos Eisley Cantina (pre-floor painting):
Post-floor paiting:
Today I was able to shave Din Djarin's Naboo Starfigher down to $77 and change. Combination of 25% off a single toy, 5% off for my birthday month, $5 off a toy, $20 off 100 storewide, and 5% off with Red Card.

This is so cool! I was looking through my 3 3/4 figures the other day and realized how many cantina patrons I had. Are these parts 3D printed? It makes me want to attempt a diorama myself, it looks really good on your end. 🙂
Received Krrsantan yesterday. He comes with two extra pairs of hands (grip, wider grip, fists), electrocution effects for his brass knuckles, his rifle, a beer stein, and a fruit. Oddly, the effects won't fit on the fists, only the grip hands. And the fists have up/down hinges instead of in/out, which seems wrong. Decent accessories, nice sculpt, nice modern articulation. Haven't compared him to the other figures from BoBF, but like the Black Series version, he seems small to me.
Also received Ewoks animated Wicket and Kneesa, which are just repaints of their old figures. I bought them for the retro cards, and don't plan to open them. I didn't even open the outer box, which features logo and art from the show. They should display well with the retro Droids figures. But I kinda actually wish they were just reissues of the original vintage figures, and not repaints of modern figures.
Got KrSanty and Pastyfatface McBaldy Inquisitor due today along with a small number of a few small other items. Gracias Pile O' Loot!
ROTJ Speeder marked down to a fairly priced $19.99 on amazon. I tried to attach a link but it wasn't working for me.
