Yeah - same with me, I ordered it on Tuesday when I saw reports coming in that folks already had theirs. I guess Best Buy is getting them in waves and what they're letting folks order from now is the 2nd shipment. *shrug*

Same here. Put in my order over the weekend and it was at least a couple weeks for home delivery... But I’m not in a huge rush though.

Post by: Nicklab on December 11, 2019, 06:55 AM: Got mine the other day, too. And I'm kind of wondering why they didn't name this character on the packaging? Because some of the info about the character from official sources identifies him as Paz Viszla.

That’s the character’s name per the credits of chapter 3. The name may not have been decided upon until the figure completed its production run though.

It sounds like the character didn't get a name until late in the game when Favreau decided to do the voice-over. Then the story group came up with the Paz Vizsla name as an homage/connection to his CW character, Pre Vizsla. Probably too late for Hasbro to update the packaging.

Title: Re: Best Buy Black Series 6" Heavy Infantry Mandalorian
Post by: McMetal on December 11, 2019, 10:34 PM: Mine was supposed to be delivered tomorrow but showed up today, in a perfectly sized box no less. Looks very cool, can’t wait to open him!
