Recent Vintage Collection Purchases

Crap...our credit card was compromised and we got new ones, but the cc# has changed. I was able to easily update all my pre-orders, but for some asinine reason Walmart doesn't allow that. Any idea if they charge when you order, or do they wait until they're ready to ship? Has anyone had to deal with that before?

I had a similar thing happen a year ago.  Contact Walmart customer service and they can make all the necessary changes.  Just make sure you have all your order numbers ready.

Yeah contacting WM directly should get results.  Had a similar issue years back.  What a friggin mess that was.  Most places just let you change your payment method yourself and it updates all orders.  Places like WM made it overly complex.  EE is great in a lot of ways but cancelling orders there is a real circus.

Got Endor Leia.

Picked up Maul, Ahsoka and Echo on minty cards today at Target. Can’t believe this is the third time I’ve come across them in the wild. Very relieved.

[Mister Skeezler]

Holy crap, I just had Echo delivered today from Amazon and I had no idea these arc troopers were such great figures! When the three pack came out a couple years ago I thought they were built on the old clone bodies (it's been a while since I bought a new clone), so I was surprised how freaking good they are!

Any rumors on the Jesse figure getting a rerelease? I saw Fives is up for pre-order at EE. Hopefully that actually happens. This set is pretty crazy on eBay.

Fives came out last summer (2020) right after the 3-pack did.  That pre-order at EE is for a second production run they did. 

Hasbro said there is no plans for Jesse to be single carded and they've stuck by that so far... 

[Mister Skeezler]

Ah, that stinks. Thanks!

So it's the EE pre-order for Fives likely to get canceled or is that second production run still in the works?

[Matt_Fury]

EE wouldn't have them up if it wasn't going to happen.  I've only had one thing cancelled from EE and that was an Imperial Officers Hat from Anovos....and well, just run over to the RPF and see what they're saying about Anovos for the past few years!

Phew! Thanks! I really want that figure.

I was positively shocked to see the new wave with Maul, Ahsoka, Echo and the Offworld Jawa in a store this morning.  Even though I ordered the case along with some extras, there was something fun about finding new figures in a store again.  So I got one of each to put up in my home office.

I've been busy this last month catching up on a lot of TVC stuff that I have missed over the past few years and have spent waaaaay, way too much money buying a lot of these a bit above retail. My haul has included:

• 12 Remnant Stormtroopers
• 2 Gaming Greats Scout Troopers
• 2 Gaming Greats Shadow Troopers
• 2 Royal Guards
• Asoka CW
• Maul CW
• Hondo CW
• Rex CW
• Echo CW
• Wolfe CW
• 2 ESB Lando
• 2 Off World Jawas
• Jabba's Tatooine Skiff
• Skiff Guard 3-Pack

And then I just pre-ordered a bunch more on HasbroPulse. My wallet certainly didn't miss collecting, and neither did my wife...

[Matt_Fury]

Glad to see you're still alive Ryan!   

I heard Giancarlo was pretty cool at Fan Expo.

It's good to still be alive.

Yeah he was a super cool guy, he was real nice when we got his signature, it was at the end of the night and we were in the back of the line so we got to talk to him for a little bit about Mandalorian, Saul, and BB. He had a great Q&A too, very well spoken guy (shocking for an actor, I know.)

Welcome back Ryan!  It’s nice to hear that you had a great experience meeting Giancarlo Esposito. I had been hoping to get to a convention that he was scheduled to appear at, but he canceled.  I’d really like to have him sign a TVC Moff Gideon
