Amazon shipped the new Luke to me yesterday. Far superior to the original version, closest Hasbro will get to the SH Figuarts quality. The facial likeness is strange, at certain angles it is great, but looking straight at it, it’s poor. Still glad to have it in the collection.

We didn't see the wrinkle at the end of the episode coming.  But then the re-cap at the beginning of the episode laid out a bit of foreshadowing that made it come together a bit.

As soon as that wrinkle happened, I tried to figure out how that might affect our chances of a HasLab Onyx Cinder.   ;)

Yeah, I've got a couple of theories on some things we'll see happen in the next two episodes...

It's been some seriously fun viewing!  And my kid and I have been having a great time trying to figure things out.  We didn't see the wrinkle at the end of the episode coming.  But then the re-cap at the beginning of the episode laid out a bit of foreshadowing that made it come together a bit.

I've been checking my own orders, and the delivery dates are still mid to late February.

Same.  I've now got another $18 charge today but all my Amazon pre-orders still say expected 2/18.

I haven't updated my list in a while... here's my plan for 2025:

TVC 3.75" - I have finally reached the "it's OK to skip new things if you don't really care" phase.  I skipped a few "all-new" figures last year (like Ahsoka Holo Ezra) and seem to be fine having "holes" in my figure collection.  I will continue to thin out the herd and sell off some older figure sculpts and vehicles at toy sales this summer.  Might be finally ready to let go of some of the non movie/TV Stuff.


That's pretty much it.  Sometimes I can't believe how little I buy these days - no more BS6"; no more DC, Marvel, GI Joe, Indy; no more LEGO.  I guess I do pick up the occasional odd 3.75" figure here or there (last year I bought the ReAction Oscar the Grouch to use as a trash can in my Cantina  :D), but nothing like in years past.

I saw some chatter at RS about Amazon charging people and moving up delivery dates for the entire wave.  I've been checking my own orders, and the delivery dates are still mid to late February.

Had an $18.39 Amazon charge on the credit card today... seems to match up to my Clone LT pre-order from this wave. 

Not sure if that means he's about to ship or if its just a ping to see if the card is still valid...

I think 2023 has been a turning point for me.  My interest in Hasbro's offerings in TVC has declined (mostly due to their lack of effort) and I'm kind of ready to quit altogether.  On the other hand, I feel GI Joe Classified has been more interesting, though I only get what I'm interested in.

My list for 2024 is:
TVC: Lack of interest is having me lean towards quitting. Will pick up a few that interest me. Would like to hook up with a local to get cardbacks though.
TBS: Out
NECA Universal Monsters: They've covered those I'm interested in, but if they give me a Phantom of the Opera Red Death costume or an accessory pack, I will pick it up.
GI Joe Classified: Have more interest in these, but will pick and choose characters I like.
Transformers: I think I have those that I want.

TVC: Just grabbing OT stuff
TBS: Just grabbing OT stuff
NECA Universal Monsters: I think I've got the ones I'm interested in, and they slowed down on the Universal stuff (doing Hammer now).  Still waiting on a Phantom of the Opera Red Death costume or an accessory pack,
GI Joe Classified: Have more interest in these, but will pick and choose characters I like.
Transformers: Will pick and choose
