The Vintage Collection / Re: TVC and Tariff Pricing
« on: April 27, 2025, 05:05 PM »
Yeah, they applied it to everything including the oldest stuff they have in stock that has already been sitting here in the States for MONTHS and was not imported under any kind of tariff. That’s shady af.
They would likely claim that they were trying to spread out the impact by applying it across the board, but if that is true they should have done it to EVERYTHING, including apparel. Action figures seem to be bearing all of the burden alone.
I hope they lose a TON of business over this and are forced to reconsider the whole thing. I’m def not ordering anything from them directly anymore, I know that.

I believe each arc represents a year leading up to R1, so I like watching them all at once. Basically like a movie a week.

We should retitle this thread “Recent Vintage Collection Preorders” lol 
I went ahead and ordered the 6 TVC figures I want from the upcoming waves via Amazon just to take advantage of that preorder price guarantee. Plus I doubt I will ever see any of those in stores except for maybe GameStop.

Hopefully, but when was the last time anyone went back to charging less for something? 🤔

I watched them all too and enjoyed them but wasn’t blown away. I feel like maybe I was hoping to see more of a build up to the Sienar heist and could have probably stood less wedding stuff.
The Empire stuff continues to be the most fascinating stuff to me. That meeting left me with questions though:
1) is “energy independence” their cover story for the Death Star? I assume that based on Krennic’s comment about the “reactor lens”.
2) wondering if this occurs before or after he recruits Galen Erso?
I liked Brasso more than Bix or that kid, sorry to see him go.
I just could not wrap my head around the Imperial Audit. ITS AN ENTIRE FKING PLANET!! You couldn’t find anywhere to hide??
Syril’s mom needs her own spin-off show. 😂

Thanks Ryan, I didn’t realize there was that long a break between appearances so yeah.
Why are people saying Darth Talon is in this??

I rewatched the finale because that was about as much Cyril as I could stand seeing again, and it was so good. I hope they wrap up the loose ends with the older characters in the first arc though.

I got a notification that one of my Marvel Legends preorders went up by $2, despite the fact that other retailers already have this figure in stock and are selling it at regular price. 
So nope, I don’t care if it’s for two dollars or two cents, I would feel like a sucker paying more for something when I don’t have to, so that one is getting canceled. None of my Amazon preorders have gone up yet.
I wonder how much business they will lose over this.

Yeah, I guess I was thinking more of the Amazon preorder price guarantee. I’d like lock my preorders in so at least they don’t get even more expensive in a few weeks/months.

Got the Ronin Celebrations Set from Amazon and it is great, love the packaging. See it is already sold out now so I’m glad I didn’t hesitate too long to pull the trigger.

I would have to go back and rewatch, which I probably won’t, but I feel like between Rebels and Clone Wars they pretty much filled up all of the time gaps with Maul so I’m not sure where this could be set or how interesting it could be plot wise, but I’ll def check it out.

Thanks Jeff! That’s all I need to know, better safe than sorry…I ordered one. that X-Wing Pilot Luke Celebrations exclusive was the most I ever paid for a 6” figure so happy to avoid that again.
