I found a relatively cheap 3&3/4" Radagast from an overseas seller and bought it. He arrived today, another great effort and really bittersweet because it only reminds me of everything we are still missing. I still can't find an Azog but hopefully soon.

Still waiting on Invisible Bilbo to arrive too.

Plagueis arrived today, intact and still MOC. Now I'm torn whether or not to go ahead and open this up or not, guess I probably will but I feel like it may be the last one I see. I should have gotten two!

Eesh, good luck to anyone that goes that route, those are the two figures I could never buy sight unseen though. I had to go through at least 4-5 Greedos before I found one with unblemished eyes, and nearly as many Leias just to find one with the eyes painted in the right place.

If they want to go sub $10 on Boba though I'll take my chances!

Thanks that is good to know. But sheesh, what happened to the first production run? How many did they even make? I figured I would have seen this in a TRU but I never even heard of them hitting a brick and mortar store.

Does BBTS ever give out promo codes for free shipping? 

Oh man, yeah...that was BRUTAL. Gemma don't play! That show keeps upping the ante somehow, good stuff.

Kind of at the halfway point now for the 2013 TV season overall, some random thoughts:

Outside of Walking Dead, I can't think of any other show I'm enjoying more right now than American Horror Story. Terrific scenery-chewing acting chops, horrifically entertaining over-the-top violence (melon-baller to the eye FTW!) and a plot that continues to twist and evolve with every episode. Loving this season.

Best newcomer award goes to The Blacklist, I love the instant gratification that comes with getting the bad guy every week, not to mention the smug perfection of James Spader simply being better than everyone else and knowing it. I don't think his Gal Friday is a particularly good actress but she's not insufferable.

Close second to Almost Human - this has been better than expected, I figured it would be some dumbed down police procedural with a goofy cyborg twist, but it's actually darker and more interesting than I suspected it would be going in. And Karl Urban is so money.

SHIELD has been a solid meh. It teases so much potential but they don't seem to want to take it to the next level. The last few episodes were a distinct improvement, but I still find myself at least a couple of times each week saying "these idiotic jackasses are supposed to be a super-skilled espionage and counter-terrorism agency?" The writing is just not very tight and WTF are the superheroes already? Do you really need expensive CGI for Power Man and Iron Fist? OR any other the other galaxy of waiting secondary heroes you have at your disposal?

Overall I still think Walking Dead is the best thing on TV right now. Can't wait for the back half of this season!

Do we think we'll get other 10" figures? That seemed like more of a one-ff to me but I guess I could see them doing more if it sold well. Wish they could have gotten Daryll into stores before Christmas.

I need a Rex too. WTF is the hold up on this wave? And the next wave of Mission Series 2-packs? How do they expect to move these after Christmas?
