Other Toy Lines / Re: 2022: What Are You Collecting?
« on: October 18, 2023, 09:44 PM »
Glad to see that I’m not the only one doing some purging!  I’ve been selling off my McFarlane Sports Picks, ToyBiz LOTR and extra Star Wars stuff.  Almost all of my Mattel Marvel Secret Wars and Kenner Super Powers figures are gone.  Next up?  ToyBiz Marvel figures that were released before the Marvel Legends line was launched.  And there’s still some vintage GI Joe and Transformers left to go.  Ugh.

Hmmm. Maybe I’ll be able to get this before I attend a con where the Krrsantan actor is going to be appearing.

Tangentially related, my daughter loved the Young Jedi show and watched all of it when it came to D+.  She wanted toys but there were none.  Yesterday I was at Wally and I noticed an entire line of figures (and vehicles!!),  Would have been nice to have when she was more into it.

I saw an endcap full of Young Jedi Adventures merchandise at Target.  And it was placed near the section  of the toy department that’s dedicated to little kids toys.

WTF???

So I ordered this from Amazon.  I've got a December delivery date, but they already charged me.  Not cool!

My Amazon order for this got pushed back even further into December.  Although there could be another email changing the date to Thursday.  IDK what is up with Amazon sometimes.

They had more, and all on a clearance endcap.  But when I checked the Target app they were all full price there.  It was impossible to find them on clearance that way.

I picked up the phase 2 Clone Trooper helmet today at Target.  The clearance tag said it was $62.49. And it rang up for $37.99!!!

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: Black Series 6" Holocomm Collection
« on: October 5, 2023, 10:34 AM »
This is definitely more creative than the carbonized line or the credit collection.  But the character selection is questionable.

I had to REALLY think about why this would work for Han Solo - until someone pointed out that the red lettering is "WANTED" in Aurrebesh.  It's supposed to be a bounty puck.  But we only ever see a couple of those in The Mandalorian.  We also saw a WANTED bulletin go out for Obi-Wan in the second episode of the OWK series - so it really would have made sense to offer Obi-Wan in this line if you're trying to be true to the entertainment.

I get that the characters are fairly high profile at this time.  But relevance would make these land better with collectors and fans who know the source material.

TV-9D9 / Re: Ahsoka (SPOILERS possible)
« on: October 4, 2023, 07:31 AM »
I think the "crates" are more likely to be caskets.  And that's because the place they were taken from was referred to as catacombs by Thrawn.  That's a ritual burial place.

I'm going to watch the episode again before offering more.

I took a trip to the only Ollie's that I know of within about 40 miles.  And I was able to score a few TVC R2-D2's for $3.99 each.  But OMG - the number of OWK Retro Collection figures there was stunning.

Got a payment notification for the N-1 starfighter.  Hopefully the shipping notification will follow soon.

Hasbro has really been stacking up these deliveries!  And I can't help but look at the calendar.  So many things landed in September, including the end of the Haslab campaign.  Was Hasbro deliberately trying to make those deliveries in order to boost their Q3 numbers?  And now with even more shipping we're in the beginning of Q4.  It comes across as potentially calculated.
