Thanks Jesse.  The 10% one isn't enough to get me to put in a small order, and the holiday one isn't working for me.

HOLIDAY may be on specific toys, not sure.  It just came to me today.

Kinda weird to give that specific code to enter, but it only works with certain toys, but then again HTS isn't exactly normal either.  :-\

I read the fine print. It's only for toys in the "hot holiday toys" list.

I didn't see the deals (thanks to the Yakface twitter anyway!) until after I had placed my order. It came out to $39 after tax and shipping which is $13 per figure, not too outrageous and maybe $1-2 more than what I usually see on Amazon (and the only store still stocking 3.75 inch figures is TRU, which overstocked Wave 4, so they'll be sitting on Dagobah Lukes and Yodas until TBS ends).

Picked up both R5 G19 and Luke at two different TRU's this weekend. Nice to have them both out of the way.

10HTSDISC is the current coupon code available.

10% off.


That code didn't work for me.  I ordered the 2 new figures from this wave plus a couple of TBS 6" figures (ROTS Anakin & Episode II Clone).  Placing an order over $50 automatically qualifies for free shipping.

Not sure when it expired but it was working when those figures went up at first.  I had them in my cart and the discount was working, but that was days ago now and the discount wasn't new.

Checked out TRU a couple of days ago. They had 11 R5-G19s and no other figures on the pegs. Where did they get 11 R5s? Someone must have dumped them here. Picked up StarKiller off ebay for $10.51. Considering ebay an paypal fees, I think the seller lost money on this one.  :)

I was able to pick up Luke and R5 this week, both are pretty nice figures. So is this it as far as basic (Black Series) figures for this year? Nice to be caught up, but it sure seemed like a slow year. If I were smarter, and would limit myself to just this line (and really, just OT), it would have been a pretty cheap year.

Maybe a solid case of the R5s got shipped to a brick-and-mortar store instead of staying in their online distribution center inventory?

I could be mistaken but I thought those solid cases of a single figure were for the online shops only so that they could specifically sell by-the-figure.

Spotted this wave at my local TRU today. Since I got everything from HTS I passed, though I did snag a second Vader since it has the corrected neck post and the head no longer falls off.

I got these from HTS.  Mostly because I wanted to bundle them with the 6" TBS Anakin and AOTC Clone Trooper and get free shipping.

Actually, I'm a little surprised and disappointed that Hasbro used the B-A-F droid parts for R5-G-19.  The R5-D4 mold was fine, and I would've been happy with that.  The BAF seems like a copout with those extra holes in the droid body.

After having never seen a single Starkiller or Malgus during their previous TVC run, I've now seen at least 10 Starkillers and 5 Malgus this week in the new blue TBS wave between several Targets and TRUs nearby.  Crazy.  I kinda wish the paint apps were identical to their TVC run, so I could skip needing to backtrack for their TVC openers.  Oh well.  Probably close enough for most (normal) folks though, fortunately.  Tons of the rest of this wave everywhere I've been lately as well (R5, Luke, Vader, Yoda).  When it rains, it pours, I guess.  Hopefully this pleasant (shocking) uptick in distribution lasts for a while, 'cause the past couple of years have been absolute ****...
Softgoods suck.  Almost as much as the Prequels.

The Malgus and Starkiller situation is beyond odd.  I've been seeing a fair amount of wave 6 at retail over the past few weeks, too.  And what's selling through fastest of all?  The Malgus and Starkiller reissues!!!!!!  You would think that *MAYBE* the first figures to sell through would be the new Hoth Luke and R5-G19 since they're new figures, but no.  It's Malgus and Starkiller!
