Walmart 2023 TVC TCW ARC Commanders - Havoc/Colt/Blitz

[Jedi Idej]

I’ m not yet at the point I was 13-14 or however many years ago when any clone variation released gave me the same stomach churning, puke-inducing sensation as taking a shot of vinegar. Even bland, these deco changes are nice. Non-mainline upcharge in pricing, not so much.

[Jeff]

The more I think about these $17 ARC repaints, the less I'm excited about them.  The novelty has worn off for me.  I think instead of pre-ordering Blitz tomorrow, I'm actually going to cancel my Colt pre-order. 

I'll keep 501st colored Havoc to go with Jesse/Echo/Fives and then be done with these ARC Trooper repaints for the time being.

I've been having these same thoughts as well.  I'm not really attached to most of these named clones that weren't in the movies anyway.

Jayson is reporting that Blitz will now be priced at $18.93.

Hasbro really isn't making it difficult to walk away from collecting.

It's amazing how inconsistent the pricing is and how little there is that's a regular retail release.   

Just gie us some waves of new figures for $14.99 for ****'s sake.

Maybe that's the plan all along, get us to really appreciate $14.99 or $15.99 while making some extra money along the way.

They really are... I'm pretty much 3/4 of the way out the door.  I might just keep my eyes out for the stuff I really want from now on and forget the rest.  If the hobby isn't fun anymore, why do it?

[Nicklab]

I was able to add Blitz to my list on the Walmart app.  In there the price shows up as $16.97.  It also showed me that over 250 people were viewing that particular figure.

[Nicklab]

Done.  And $16.97 each.

[McMetal]

I picked up Blitz, whew.

[Dave]

I picked up Blitz, whew.

At least the shipping is free.

Right! Plus this is one I will likely never see in a store so preorder is the safest bet.

[Rob]

The price tag is less offensive with the free shipping... so that's something.  I still wish these would just show up in stores for $13.99 and be available enough that they didn't HAVE to mail them to everyone.

Saw a credit card charge earlier tonight and then got a shipping notice tonight for Havoc.  Should be here by Monday.

[Nicklab]

I got the notice, too.  And my Havoc order is actually supposed to arrive today!

[Rob]

I never got a notice but sure enough in my account it says arriving Saturday.
