Worked out a deal with Morgbug to acquire his Carded Series 1 figures.  Also picked up a loose young Boba Fett from the recent 2-pack.

Just picked up an Aliens powerloader set for £16.46/$26.52 shipped.

That's a nice deal.  Looks like he has more of them if anyone else wants them...

Wow, I didn't realize those Shadow Guards were getting so cheap... might be time to track down another one so I have an opener too.

I asked the seller if he's got any other Kubies to sell, so I will let you know if he specifically has any more of these if youw ant to get in on that price and maybe even combine shipping.   ;)

No dice - he doesn't have any more shadow guards or any other Kubies for sale.   :(  I did put in a plug for us all that if he comes across more,there is a large group of interested collectors here who might be willing to buy outside of Ebay to save everyone some money.  I'll post to the group if I ever hear anything back, but not counting on it.

Not the best time to be buying figures with all of the new releases out there, but I couldn't pass this one up.  I picked up a Series 6 General Veers chase figure this morning and already have confirmation that it's been shipped.

Nope, I actually found it on the Brians Toys site.  Just happened to stumble across it this morning.

Nope, this is the only one I bought today.  I hope I didn't mistakenly post that I picked up another chase somewhere.

Actually, Jay just posted that he bought one off of Brian's Toys as well.  I'm surprised that they had two - any chance that they have more?  I checked the site, but didn't see any reference for him.   :'(

I bet that we were both notified via email that this was back in stock and you were faster on the draw and your order filled first as I haven't received a shipping notice yet. I have a bad feeling about this....  :-\

The e-mails from them seem to have gotten around, nope not me. Had that on my notify list from back then, very surprised they got some in & at good prices. Especially from them.  

BTW, nice score!

Actually, I was just searching the site this morning and came across it.  Blind **** luck I guess...

Anyway, I was getting a weird error when I was looking up my order history so I decided to give them a call.  I spoke to someone at the store who then looked up the order and confirmed that it was on its way.  I still have yet to get an e-mail confirmation on the order and my CC hasn't been charged yet either.  We should know in a few days if they actually had two in stock or not since they are only shipping from WI.

Actually, Jay just posted that he bought one off of Brian's Toys as well.  I'm surprised that they had two - any chance that they have more?  I checked the site, but didn't see any reference for him.   :'(

I didn't realize he had posted something in the MN threads about his purchase. I need to remember to check in on you guys from time to time to see what's going on... ;)

Sweet!  I finally got my TRU 5-pack crossed off the list.

$52 shipped is even better than I was hoping for.   ;D

Nice score.

Thanks!  Did you hear back on your Veers?
