Got a shipping notice from Walmart for the Credit Collection Boba Fett.  :D

Showed up today in a flimsy envelope predictably battered.  ::)

Hope I see one in a store someday so I can upgrade.

Amazon keeps playing shuffleboard with the shipping dates for Migs and Axe.

Other Toy Lines / Re: 2022: What Are You Collecting?

Always like to look back and see how things panned out over the year. I stuck pretty close to my plan. Only picked up a couple more Legends to fill out my FF Display. Thundra, comic Black Panther, etc. finally got those NECA AWIL figures and they were awesome. Still waiting on the new Thing stuff though.

Bigger news from this year was deciding to downsize and sell off a few of my current collections, like all my Pacific Rim figures, all my Prometheus figures, and (eventually) all my McFarlane Stranger Things stuff. Loved them all but I have to keep making room all the time it seems like.

Anyway, for this year:

1) Star Wars Black Series- Still my main jam, still managed to keep up a complete collection, though it gets harder every year. Not a fan of the new PFP either.

2) Marvel Legends- just cherry picking here, does not seem to be much on tap as far as classic FF figures outside of Ronan and maybe Molecule Man. I’m happy with keeping it to a tight group here though.

3) Super 7 ReAction & Ultimates- price on these has become prohibitive, so planning to cut way back here, or at least wait for sales, discounts, free shipping, etc. hard though because they continue to do so much cool stuff.

Star Troopers and Final Faction are still in the mix for 2023, but not much else outside of those. Thinking it’s probably time to start getting serious about any remaining vintage toys I want.  :)

So many options this year…plastic free packaging, repacks, repaints, uninspired character choices, price hikes, preorder snafus, the usual hit parade.  ::)

100% agree a lot of the fun has gone out of the hobby. Definitely planning to approach things differently next year, take more of a wait and see attitude. Prices have just gotten too crazy.

Received my 1-JAC and Purge Trooper figures I had preordered from Walmart awhile back. Looks like that will probably be it for this year. Whew!

How is it? Does it look and feel like a Kenner toy close up?

I picked up Blitz, whew.

At least the shipping is free.

Right! Plus this is one I will likely never see in a store so preorder is the safest bet.

220
So GameStop wants to charge me $8 to ship Scorch. This on top of the inflated $27.99 price tag. Meanwhile Target wants to charge me $6 to ship the Gamorrean Guard, which is also overpriced at $34. (Coincidentally their threshold for Free Shipping is $35)

I’ve hit my limit with this crap. I’m just not paying for shipping on stuff that is already a bad value. I’m content to wait it out and pick it up in store or some kind of sale.

I’m a sucker, but not a super sucker.  :D

My Heralds of Galactus 2-pack showed up yesterday from Pulse. Cool set, although I wish I didn’t already have Terrax.

223
Picked up a Purge Trooper over the weekend courtesy of the Walmart shipper. Really nice figure. Hope the one I preordered comes through too.

I’ve never regretted my decision to stop watching after they killed off Carl for no reason whatsoever. The show really started out so strong too. Looking back I think losing the original show runner (Darabont?) was the kiss of death.
