Thanks fellas. Yeah definitely recommend meeting Giancarlo if you ever get the chance. That's too bad he cancelled. I think he does cons pretty regularly, so hopefully he'll be back near you soon Nick.

Dude....

Oof...Jesse is slated to return next year, so you could have gotten him a bit cheaper than Tunghori. But hey, you'll have him, and that's all that matters at the end of the day!

Balls.

But, with Tunghori you'll have him now. Waiting means you'll have him whenever they rerelease him. I've been tempted to just pull the trigger at Tunghori myself.

My Tunghori haul came the other day. I only got 1 figure with a left leg noticeably longer than the right, 1 figure missing some accessories, and 2-3 with noticeably bad paint apps. Not too bad considering.

I also picked up 3 VTC199 Tuskens, 1 VC198 Endor Luke, 2 VC 144 Lando Skiff Guards, and another VC205 Lando.

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 have had to work through this and there is literally nothing Walmart can do except cancel your order and have you reorder, which is asinine since preorders have already sold out.  It's so ridiculous.  Any other toy seller can modify the payment method without losing your order including small mom and pop shops.  No idea why Walmart can't figure it out.

I'm not sure which wave Bib Fortuna is actually in, but I bought this figure for $20 from a local comic shop and I don't even give a ****. This figure is ******* flawless!

Edit: Almost flawless. If he had the vintage-style staff I would probably vomit from pure excitement and then need to take a nap.

I finally pulled the trigger on the TVC Slave I and 2 Bo-Katan's from HasbroPulse last week. Not sure how, but I apparently had completely missed pre-ordering Bo-Katan.

I am pretty excited to get Bib, he looks fantastic. I do wonder why Pulse still has my preorders for both Bib and Lobot so far out still, but I already have the rest of the wave from Pulse in hand (except Bo-Katan).

[Matt_Fury]

You're going to like the Slave one and the Bo Katan...both have exquisite detail!

I do wonder why Pulse still has my preorders for both Bib and Lobot so far out still, but I already have the rest of the wave from Pulse in hand (except Bo-Katan).

Because Pulse is filling individual figure pre-orders from single figure cases and the single figure cases of Lobot and Bib are running behind the rest of the wave for some reason.

Some places (like EE and Target) have received the mixed wave cases but they generally use those for whole case orders (EE) or retail (Target) and don't fill single figure orders with them anymore.

Pulse still hadn't fulfilled my order for Lobot and Bib, but luckily I found them both at retail yesterday at Target. I grabbed one of each along with a third Bo Katan and another Hoth Rebel. This is only the second time in the last 3 years that I have found a new figure on the pegs. I was definitely excited to pick these up finally, and I was able to cancel my outstanding pre-orders too.
