I thought it would be generally interesting to get people's feedback about the online stores that they prefer.  What are some of the positives and/or negatives associated with some of them, etc.  Are there ones you swear by?  Concerns with another?  Does one have great service except for their shipping policies?  Etc...

My first bit of feedback?

Big Bad Toy Store

I was going through my keychain on my iPhone and noticed that there was a security risk associated with Big Bad Toy Store.  Evidently BBTS has been the subject of a security breach.  I also got a notification this morning of an unauthorized charge on a card that I have not used in a while.  When I checked my spreadsheet of TVC orders I saw that the last time I had used that card was with BBTS on their exclusive Gaming Greats ARC Trooper.  You might want to check your cards as well.

Personally, I am really disappointed that I didn't receive a notification from BBTS about the data breach.

Images have surfaced on social media of the Disney Parks Obi-Wan Kenobi Droid Factory 4-pack.   Here are the droids included in the set:

R3-T2
NED-B
Viper Probe Droid
1-JAC

In light of this news, and the fact that this line is a partnership with Hasbro, I don't think we can expect TVC versions of NED-B or 1-JAC any time soon.

If anyone from the MN contingent is going to the Disney Parks anytime soon, I think you’ve got to pick up one of these for Scott

STAR WARS CAMTONO CASE MANDALORIAN BESKAR GALAXIE EDGE BUCKET

Over the weekend I started getting security advisory messages about the JD forums.  I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the host server or another ongoing cyber attack that’s happening, but I wanted to at least report the issues that I’m encountering.

It seems like the Disney Parks might actually be the best way to get some creatures that might interact with the action figure line.  I actually bought the Disney release of the Happabore (seen on Jakku in The Force Awakens) for a Niima outpost diorama.  And it seems that now there are even more creatures to be had.

One that I've had my eye on?  The Krykna spider as seen in both Rebels and The Mandalorian!  I'm just curious to see if these might eventually turn up on the Shop Disney app or in Disney Stores.  I can barely find any to buy online.

As I'm working on getting more of my collection displayed, I'm beginning to look at acrylic stands for that floating vehicle effect.  Hasbro is finally getting on board with this concept in the most recent release of Slave I, and they're also including a similar kind of stand for the upcoming Razor Crest Haslab release.

Is anyone using these for their vehicles?  Do you recommend any particular ones?  I found this particular site:

Feedback on them would be appreciated, and I'd also like to see some other possible options.
