Daddy wants it. Daddy needs it.  Daddy's got to have it!

Got a shipping notice from Target today for C-3PO.

Ditto!  Target says I'll have it on Monday 12/13.

I'm at work so I can't check m home e-mail but Target's website says I'll have mine by tomorrow!   

[Jeff]

Saw this on JediDefender's twitter.  Oof.  Seriously, Target?

Hope you carded collector guys have better luck than this guy did.

Is that the "Cannot See"-Threepio variant?

Ha, I guess we know what the P.O. stands for now...

[Ryan]

Man, even as a loose collector, I'd be pretty peeved at that.

Mine arrived today and although the box it shipped in seemed slightly too small, there was no damage at all, thankfully. And no ugly stickers!

I really like how this came out, looking forward to completing the set.

Hadn’t been following this thread, but the some of the Droids figures were among the first Star Wars figures I ever got as a kid in the mid 1980s. I had The Droids version of C-3PO and the regular Power of the Force R2-D2 with the pop-up lightsaber (the C-3PO is long gone, but still have the R2 sans the lightsaber). Amazingly, I’ve still got both the original coins as well

My TVC Droids Threepio arrived in a nice big box, but with a totally mangled card. It looks like the card has a new accordion action feature. I guess he is the opener.

At one point Droids was set as 15 years before ANH, but I'm not sure if that 'canon' survived the Disney purchase or not.  It would put Boba Fett around 17yrs old during the events of Droids if that were the case.

Back to this question...

So if I was figuring out where to put these in a chronologically ordered shelf... After Solo but before Rogue One?

After Revenge of the Sith but before Solo?

Solo starts 13 years before and wraps up 10 years before ANH, so assuming Droids is still "canon" and is still supposed to be 15 years before ANH, it'd go -

ROTS
Bad Batch
Droids
Solo
Rogue One
ANH

I think...

Good enough for me.  Thanks!

Mine came in a huge box as well - it could have easily fit the original case of these figures along with padding if they wanted to.  It's in great shape, so not complaining, but feels like they could figure out a better solution to keep the cards safe.  I wonder if Target is moving to a standard size box for all shipments?  My wife ordered a few things from Nordstrom and they all arrived in the same box configuration despite very different sized items inside.
