Discovered a site called Toy Dojo last night that was selling a lot of SDCC exclusives and specializes in Japanese figures and Transformers merch. Turns out they recently opened a brick and mortar store here in town, so I stopped by after work to check things out and ended up buying a SDCC Thrawn. Paid $90 for it, but I'll probably try to trade it for some other rare stuff.

Nice score!  I have ordered from them in the past.  I think they were a good source for Kubricks back in the day IIRC.  What are you looking for in trade for Thrawn?

Made the trek into a distant Walmart way across the river which apparently is Clearance Shangrila. Scored a few good deals:

Both Centerpiece sets for $25 each
Rey speeder and landspeeder for $30 each

So basically half off, not bad for how recently this stuff came out.

Then I went next door and picked up, literally, the only GameStop 4-pack in the entire metropolitan area. Can't wait to crack that open tonight!

I ran some BS searches for these in my area.  The 6" speeder vehicles are showing up for $45 at WalMart, and the Centerpiece line is selling for $35 each.

Found all of Wave 2 at Target over lunch today  :D

A few of the boxes were as mangled as I've ever seen show up on the pegs. That did not deter me though, opener that I am.

Guessing I may need an extra Guard to pair with the additional gear from the Amazon exclusive. I know there are 5 total pictured, but rumored to be as many as 8 in the film.

Still no sign of Spirit Obi here...

I found the 2nd wave of TLJ Black Series 6" figures today.  I already had Finn and the Praetorian Guard, so I picked up Leia, Maz and Poe.  Glad that Target was running that sale because they saved me $10 today.

IF anyone's buying one on Amazon we'd appreciate you using our affiliate link to it...  I'll provide the link below.

Every bit helps to keep the lights on and such. :)

I picked up my Guardians of Evil 4-pack pre-order from GameStop yesterday.  It would have been nice if they had called me.  The guy who helped me said that they were waiting for Snoke and the Battlefront II Imperial Agent to arrive first.  But having seen a bunch of stories about how GameStop didn't always hold their pre-orders?  I'm glad I just dropped by to check things out.

Picked up Maz, Leia and the Guard today at Target.  Nice to be done with those...

Didn't realize there were some spoilerish things on the back of Maz's box.

I don't know if it's really a spoiler.  But it's cool to know that Maz is still in the mix in Episode 8...

The destruction of her castle has forced Maz to become more mobile and take a more hands-on (and blasters-firing) role in the turbulent criminal underworld. She offers help in the struggle against the First Order by pointing the Resistance towards a mysterious new ally.

Picked up a Rey Speeder set for $20 and a Vintage Legacy Vader set for $10 at Walmart yesterday on the way home for work.  :D

Brickseek tipped me off to the Speeder price reduction, but the Vader set was a pleasant surprise; it was still listed at $30 for this store on Brickseek.

I was lucky enough to get Jaina Solo off Amazon the other day for retail, and it arrived yesterday

Wow!  I check daily and just today it was at $45.

Anybody know if this figure is going to be in a future assortment as well.  I'm worried this is a one and done where the wave around Christmas just evaporates.
