Given the scant TVC on the horizon, I see no reason to renew right now. I will do like lots of others and go back if the SDCC exclusives are worthwhile. Hope they don't require membership prior to a certain date to be eligible for early access.

That is a strange one. The seller has high-value sold and current bidded auctions from his/her decades-old personal collection. Clearly not new to the scene. I'm thinking they saw the same figure on Amazon during an insanely algorithm-based price spike and jacked it even more to see if anyone will bite.

Hats off to Speedermike. I dig his art and concept designs.

The Vintage Collection exclusives are the only reason I would re-up. But those were few and far between and only guaranteed an earlier attempt at the purchase.

I swear they used to waive the shipping charges on purchases over a certain amount but I can't find that info in their Shipping policy. The free shipping could help sway me.

The 2 I pre-ordered on a single purchase both arrived yesterday, one in a padded plastic envelope and the other in a decently sized box.

I think these last 4 packages (Incinerator Troopers and Mandalorian and Child) were the first delivered to me by Ontrac and so far I'm liking. All items got to me within 48 hours after leaving Walmart's warehouse 400 miles away; there was no damage to the packaging in transit, including the enveloped figure; and they were left in front of the door instead of part way up the flight of steps.

The first of 2 went out yesterday and is expected tomorrow. The second was delayed, I thought, to spread the love to as many customers as possible.

After checking just now, in the details it states the 2nd shipped an hour or 2 ago. Wha??

I guess they decided to copy HasbroPulse's shipping process.

I ordered 2 on 10/26. One was cancelled and I'm semi-expecting the other will also considering others had both go bye-bye.

Really strange.

Hope these are offered again so everyone gets another shot.

That was such a satisfying season finale. Fascinating story lines to expect -- chief among them the Bo-Katan/dark saber quandary and the reckoning with the Death Watch Mandos for revealing his face  -- but right now I can't help but get lost in what I just watched.

And, hell yeah, I want a figure of Big Bib.

i have all sorts of speculation how Fett got out of the sarlaac pit and wound up with Tusken robes and weapons, but i hope they fill in the details.

Favreau trolling the backers. Hahaha. Wait, I bought... Damn you, Favreau!

 ;)

No worries on my end. It's a cool ship regardless.

To me, tilting the helmet up seemed like Din Djarin was sticking his toe in the water.

Sam feeling I got. And for emphasis, Baby Yoda stared at him to suggest this was out of the ordinary in their time together.

You figure he was jarred by Bo Katan's explanation and had to be kicking himself for missing out on space mom. And that's not meant to be a crude, sexual innuendo.

It hadn't shipped yet.

The email said I can go to my orders page and re-order, but since it's out of stock, that wasn't possible.

C'est la vie.

My Cara Dune arrived snugly in its box and the Death Trooper shipped in packaging that looks like it's for a book. Neither had any packing material but neither was damaged either.

I would normally open, but reading some instances that the paint chipped off their carbonized black series, I might leave these carded.

Ugh. Target canceled my Hondo order. It was backordered once and I got an email telling me to confirm if I still wanted it, which I did. It was backordered a second time but I missed that email, and after not hearing from me, they canceled the order 7 days later.

I already have the figure from the Smugglers' Run Falcon, so maybe this is sign I need to cut down on buying duplicates.

But one solitary notification of pending cancelation? That's a bad process.

Whew, so far no notification from Hasbro that my payment was declined. When I first got this cc after Costco converted from Am Ex, Citi suspended my account several times for suspicious purchases. What's abnormal about a grown man buying toys?  :P

Backers have until 12/10 to cancel their order. What would happen if the final tally fell below an unlock milestone? Good thing there's a huge buffer from the total at project's end to the last unlock.

As others have said, hopefully this signals to Hasbro that the SW toy nerdom is strong and comprised by lots of folks who want the TVC-esque quality and articulation.
