Title: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on August 27, 2014, 10:38 PM
Let's fire this mother up!

I bought my first ever Rebels toy tonight...the 20" Ezra Bridger figure. Have been on the fence about the 20" scale, but after seeing this one in person I caved instantly. No sign of Kanan, but they did have the TIE FIghter Pilot, which was super badass. I stashed him away for later. (BTW, not so easy stashing away a 20" action figure)

Bring on the Rebels toys!

 ;D

I've been seeing some REBELS sets in the new Star Wars Command line.  That and Ezra's mask.

Yep, it was Walmart.

I did see a 20" Biker Scout at TRU, so looks like there is a mix of stuff coming out. Still looking for Kanan...

And picked up Kanan today after work. Gonna have to try to hold the line on just the animated figures in the 20" scale, but it is tough.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: GrandMoffNick on August 29, 2014, 01:51 PM
I saw the 20" Biker today and (for the best probably) wasn't that impressed.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on August 29, 2014, 11:42 PM
I saw a Jakks Pacific YouTube video for their 20" line today and they showed 20" versions of Zeb, the Inquisitor, and the Rebels Stormtrooper. I think this helps me to confine my purchases to just the animated stuff. That will be more than enough sounds like. Ironic that these figures have more articulation than their 4" counterparts.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: GrandMoffNick on September 18, 2014, 10:59 PM
Saw 18" tie fighter pilot today and the two rebels humans. I liked them all but trying to buy none of these. Also saw the 31" inquisitor. Really liked him but didn't do it.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on September 19, 2014, 12:17 PM
I saw the 31" Inquisitor for the first time yesterday too but couldn't pull the trigger. I know it's only a matter of time though...

LOL, it only took a week. Picked up this guy last night along with the 3 new Rebels ships and took advantage of their BOGO 40% off sale. Nice timing on that!

Post by: McMetal on October 2, 2014, 10:06 PM
Picked up the 31" Rebels Animated-Style Stormtrooper @ Walmart today. He fits in perfectly with the Inquisitor.  :)

Where's my big-ass Chopper though?!  ;)
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: GrandMoffNick on October 3, 2014, 11:18 AM
Saw the 31" Luke and han stormtroopers at tru today. I like them but no buy
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Nicklab on October 3, 2014, 12:56 PM
Saw the AT-DP and Inquisitor's TIE today.  Passed on them for now.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: GrandMoffNick on October 6, 2014, 08:42 PM
No sign of the actual toy but a sign on the endcap said the 6 pack 12 inch deal is on TPC for $47
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on October 6, 2014, 08:45 PM
I saw the new Target Multi-Figure Pack for the 12" line...Ezra, Kanan, Inquisitor, and then like 3 totally random dudes - Darth Vader, Shadow Stormtrooper and some random Clone Trooper.

I take it those last 3 don't really have anything to do with the Rebels show and were just arbitrary pack-ins?

I couldn't pull the trigger, but it was sort of tempting. (On sale for $47)
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Pete_Fett on October 8, 2014, 06:13 PM
Picked up two of the Toys R Us Rebels 3-packs today - took advantage of the Buy-one-get-one-50%-off deal they have running right now.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Nicklab on October 9, 2014, 12:23 PM
Picked up a Reveal the Rebels set at TRU this morning. They still seem to be a little scarce for some reason.  I would think they would be out in quantities in time for the premiere of the show, but aside from the Command stock, 20" and 31" figures, Rebels toys aren't super abundant.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on October 9, 2014, 01:53 PM
I called every TRU within 50 miles of here and NONE of them had a single Jedi Reveal battlepack. That is pathetic.

Watch them show up right after the BOGO sale goes off.  ::)

Wish I had known, my TRUs have plenty Reveal sets. In fact, it's the only Rebels merch they have. I snagged one last week.

Post by: Nicklab on October 17, 2014, 02:36 PM
I picked up the Phantom Shuttle today.  I saw at least 2 of each of the new Rebels vehicles when I was in the store.  Unfortunately there wasn't the sweetheart deal of $7 and change that was reported on YF.  :(
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Pete_Fett on October 17, 2014, 03:18 PM
Picked up the Phantom and an opener of the AT-DP - just need to grab an opener for the Inquisitor's TIE and the Phantom now and I'll be done with this first round of vehicles...

What's all this about the $7 deal? Didn't see anything on their front page?
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Nicklab on October 17, 2014, 03:58 PM
There was a post on someone's front page complete with a shot of a receipt.  Someone scored all three of the new REBELS vehicles for about $25 due to some pricing weirdness in the Target computer system.  I think they caught the glitch.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on October 21, 2014, 03:17 PM
I picked up 12" Agent Kallus, Rebels Stormtrooper, and Ezra at TRU today. I sure hope they release Kanan and the Inquisitor single-boxed because no way am I buying that Target set just for them.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Darth_Anton on October 30, 2014, 10:36 AM
I managed to find an AT DP yesterday at Target and couldn't be more excited. It's a neat little walker. Found a place for it along side my imperial army, I'll be calling it/them; AT CP, All Terrain Command Pod. Each one carries the Squad leader of a squad of four At-St's.

I'm using mine for Rebel walkers
mostly becuz as far as rebel land vehicles go all we got are mini rigs

The Target exclusive Phantom w/Kanan and TIE Advance prototype w/Inquisitor have started to hit stores. Looks like 2 Phantoms & 1 TIE per case.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Nicklab on October 31, 2014, 05:02 PM
I picked up the AT-DP today.  For some strange reason this Target store didn't have the UPC on file at the register.  So I got it for $19.99.

The Target exclusive Phantom w/Kanan and TIE Advance prototype w/Inquisitor have started to hit stores. Looks like 2 Phantoms & 1 TIE per case.

Is there a unique DPCI for these versus the non-exclusive versions?

I saw a shelf tag for these the other day but they just had the previous versions in that space.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: GrandMoffNick on October 31, 2014, 08:52 PM
I'm pretty sure it's the same dpci

Finally saw some rebels toys tonight... Not one thing I wanted though.  No walkers or TIEs.  Bummer.

I saw a sale tag advertising a $23.49 price on the TIE w/Inquisitor set at Target today, but no actual product, just a gaping empty space.  :(
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Jayson on November 2, 2014, 05:09 PM
Don't be surprised if it's replaced by a bunch of the regular vehicles because they share the same D PCI
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 3, 2014, 01:47 PM
No worries, I found these today. There were plenty of Kanan sets but between two stores I found just one lone Inquisitor set. Thrilled to have him though, especially at the current sale price.

I guess I will keep the exclusives MISB and open the others.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Darth_Anton on November 6, 2014, 02:47 PM
Found remnants of the first single carded wave at TRU. Out of two cases put out, all the repacks were left behind and both of the Snowtroopers, a Vader, and an Ezra. I picked a Snowtrooper.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 6, 2014, 03:22 PM
I will go out on a limb and guess the Inquisitor is single packed as he is the single most interesting character of the wave and the one most likely to sell and clearly Hasbro hates money.  ;)

These haven't made it here yet, but I am hopeful it will be soon.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Phrubruh on November 8, 2014, 04:09 PM
My local TRU had the entire wave of these including the Luke, vader, snowtrooper and stormtrooper. I picked up Chopper, Inquisitor and Agent Kallus.

The Jedi Reveal set has started to turn up in TRU in the UK. But ain't seen any other 3.75 figures.

A few online stores are showing them on their sites but have no stock.

Prices an eGay UK already hitting £20 a figure.  ???
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Pete_Fett on November 12, 2014, 11:50 AM
Still no sign of the individually carded figures in my neck of the woods - did get the new Mission Series sets from Rebels today though - picked up R2//3PO and Zeb/Stormtrooper

Left the Emperor/Yoda, Bespin Luke/Vader and Boba/Stormtrooper sets behind since they all appeared to be re-releases from the previously issued Mission Series sets (or in the case of Boba/Stormtrooper a combined re-release from the single carded figs).
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 12, 2014, 02:10 PM
I found a lone Agent Kallus with crushed bubble at Target today over lunch...no other figures, just him. I checked 2 other stores in the area but they had none. I have seen other reports that Target is getting partial cases or even one off figures, so this makes sense I guess.

Also noticed these are finally up at TRU.com but for $6.99 a piece and Chopper, Stormtrooper, and the inquisitor are all sold out. :(

$6.99 might not be too bad if you can find them without driving around town.

Saw Ezra and The Inquisitor at Target today.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 13, 2014, 08:39 PM
Picked up Ezra and The Inquisitor at Target today. But the partial case thing is killing me

Man, I feel you! I should be done with this wave by now but I've only been able to put together 3 carded figures from 3 different Targets! (Found Chopper and Inquisitor today, plus the Mission Series 2-pack with R2 and 3PO) It's really frustrating.

It's certainly not like they don't have room to display more than 1 new figure!
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Dave on November 14, 2014, 10:55 AM
The thing that bugs me is that most Targets I go to have two pegs devoted to Legends figures, but have maybe six total figures on the pegs.  They've put those black rubber stoppers on the pegs so you can't fit more than a few figures per peg.  They could easily fit a whole case and a half if they filled up their pegs.   I shove the black rubber stoppers back at all the Targets I go to.   >:D
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 14, 2014, 12:26 PM
I found a lone Zeb/Stormtrooper Missions Series 2-pack on the pegs at Target this morning. This is the same store that had 1 lone R2/3PO 2-pack on the pegs yesterday. (which i also bought)

At this rate, 5 or 6 more days and I should be caught up.  ::)

Found a complete set of 12 Legends figures this morning at my local Toys R Us - grabbed them all...
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Rob on November 14, 2014, 09:47 PM
Found the new Mission Series... Legends Obi-Wan, Clone Trooper, and Vader.  Plus R4-G19 and Hoth Luke.

$6.79 at Target for those Legends figures... so much for the low cost being worth the reduction in quality and articulation.  The Luke and R4 were $11.49 - I managed to get those at TRU for $9.99 though.

Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 14, 2014, 10:22 PM
Nice score Pete!

I managed to find another Chopper on a better card to keep for my MOC collection, at Target after work, so that was cool.

One thing I've noticed already is that this smaller packaging is a lot more prone to damage than previous versions. I've seen wrinkled cards, badly warped cards, and more than a few crushed or cracked bubbles, almost like the plastic is more brittle.

I've noticed that as well - I totally lucked out with the 12 I found - they must have come from a incredibly pristine case, but I found openers of Kanan, Ezra, Stormtrooper, Jedi Luke, Snowtrooper and Clone Wars Obi-wan - and those weren't in good condition at all...

Can't wait to find openers of Chopper and the Inquisitor - I'm looking forward to those figures from this first wave the most.

Post by: Nicklab on November 16, 2014, 09:40 AM
Picked up the Mission Series 2-pack with C-3PO and R2-D2.  They look okay. 

I also saw the new wave of Rebels/Saga Legends basic figures.  Pretty much all of the Rebels figures sold through except for a lone Ezra which was left over.  As for the other new Saga Legends?  The Jedi Luke looks pretty good, truth be told.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 17, 2014, 03:21 PM
I picked up new 12" versions of Kanan and the Inquisitor that were packaged with extra gear in larger boxes than the usual Hero Series stuff. Pretty cool...definitely glad I passed on that Target set now, as the extras are not included with that one. Oh, they were $14.99 too, rather than $9.99. Maybe that was just TRU pricing though.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Nicklab on November 17, 2014, 08:43 PM
I picked up a Rebels Stormtrooper today.  And cnce again, pretty much ALL of the Rebels figures have sold through before the other Saga Legends at the store where I made this find.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Pete_Fett on November 18, 2014, 03:44 PM
Picked up openers of The Inquisitor, Agent Kallus (sp?) and Chopper this morning. I also grabbed another SW: Rebels Stormtrooper so I can have a small squad of four. Unless I stumble across an extra Inquisitor to permanently have sitting in his Advanced TIE Prototype, I think I'm "done" for the year now since I'm good with both the Wave 1 Basic Figures and Wave 1 Mission Series 2-Packs.

Wouldn't mind scoring a 2nd opener of the Build-A-Droid R5 that's in the 1st Black Series (Blue) wave - but if I never get that 2nd one, I won't be heart-broken...
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 19, 2014, 10:40 AM
My obsessive diligence paid off this morning when I arrived at TRU at opening time and found a full fresh case of Rebels figures! I picked up the last 4 I needed, so I am set with the single carded stuff now, except for maybe a couple of extra Stormtroopers to display.

I also picked up the Clone Wars Obi-wan...is this a straight up recard of a previous figure? I couldn't recall in the store.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Pete_Fett on November 19, 2014, 01:09 PM

Yes (sort of) - it is a re-release of SL#13 from earlier this year that only showed up in Canada on tri-logo cards. It was in a wave with Jedi Luke (also in this first Rebels Saga Legends wave), the Snowtrooper (again also in this wave) and a Darth Maul - that I think is on a check-list of coming Saga Legends figures, but I'm not 100% sure on that...

So unless you live in Canada, this is your first chance to see this figure on a peg in a store.

Thanks Pete! That definitely rings a bell now, glad I picked this up as it was not really on my radar previously.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on November 22, 2014, 04:59 PM
I completed the Rebels collection today with a minty Zeb/Stormtrooper 2-pack courtesy of TRU.  :) Luckily they had at least 7-8 to pick through so I had a good choice of paint apps. (Good thing too, some of these looked pretty hit or miss)

I hope we get something else before Christmas but I'm not holding my breath.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Nicklab on November 22, 2014, 07:44 PM
Saw both of the Target exclusive Rebels vehicles today.  I had already gotten Kanan in the TRU exclusive pack with Ezra and Holocron Obi-Wan, and the Phantom in separate purchases.  I really didn't feel the need to double down and get more of the same Kanan figure with this Target exclusive.

I held off for now on the Inquisitor and his TIE.  I get the feeling these might be around for a little while.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on December 13, 2014, 10:12 AM
Interesting note: I never realized the 20" TIE Pilot was part of the animated Rebels line...I just assumed he was part of the OT stuff like Chewie and the Biker Scout. But after looking more closely last night I realized he had the "From the Animated Series!" tag on the front of the box like all the other animated figures. (The OT ones do not)

So I filled a nice little hole in my collection that I never even realized that I had, and for $15 on sale at Target to boot!

 ;D
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on December 15, 2014, 04:31 PM
Cool find today...stumbled across the 20" Inquisitor figure at Target over lunch. I knew he was coming, along with Zeb at some point, but had never heard a peep about him showing up already. Getting a nice little collection of these guys going now, but they really need to make a similarly scaled Chopper and the gals.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Qui-Gon Jim on December 15, 2014, 08:18 PM

Finally found the TIE and Phantom ships at Target. They also had a mission series Fett/Stormtrooper.

Picked up new unopened Lego Ghost ship on ebay for $54 shipped. There is a little 8 year old boy around here that will love that ship from Santa.

Post by: McMetal on January 31, 2015, 01:40 PM
Time to knock some dust off this thread. After putting in a lot of quality time at area Targets the past few days, I was able to score 2 Wookie 2-packs last night and a Sabine 2-pack this morning.  ;D

No sign of the Vizago 2-pack, but a fellow collector found one for me across town this morning apparently. Definitely want some openers of that and the Sabine pack.

It seems clear they are getting partial cases of these just like the single carded figures. Really hate that, could have been done with the whole wave after 2 stops instead of all this piecemeal nonsense.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: McMetal on February 3, 2015, 09:05 AM
Lucked out and found the rest of the Rebels 2-packs I needed last night @ Target, so I am all set as far as MOC and openers. I can now resume hibernating until the Imperial Troop Transport starts showing up.  ;)

Found the AT-DP Driver and TIE Pilot figures this morning, along with a Jedi Temple Guard, at Target. They were the only three single carded figures they had at all. Proceeded to hit a few more locations after that but came up empty handed. Super happy to hve found the 3 I wanted most though.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases

Do you know when?  target.com has it listed "in stock" near me, but all that are there when I go are the TIE and Phantom.  Is there a second wave to this?

Of course, the exclusive has the same dpci # as the Slave I and Jedi Starfighter.  ::)

Yep, that's why it's listed as "in stock" since all the vehicles (exclusives and non-excl.) share that DPCI - stupid Target.    :(

So it's packed with the Phantom and TIE, then.  So, they are hitting, it's just the AT-DP is popular.

No, the Target exclusive AT-DP with the pack-in driver is not in circulation yet. The counts you are seeing are for the first wave of vehicles most likely. And yeah, the AT-DP seems to sell out fast.

I found another lone TIE Fighter Pilot at Target over lunch so I picked it up. I am trying to think of a number in my head for how many of these guys I really need..."I can imagine quite a bit"...LOL.

That feature doesn't really work on Target's site because it treats the exclusive vehicles the same as the non-exclusive one. So basically, if Target.com says your store has it, they probably just have an Anakin Jedi Starfighter or maybe a Phantom with Kanan or TIE with Inquisitor. In essence, it's a crap shoot.

Wonderful. You get the sense from things like this that Target has deliberately dumbed down the DPCI numbers to mess with collectors who were using the system to their advantage.

Be that as it may, I pic up an Imperial Transport at TRU this afternoon.

I'm pretty sure the DCPI thing has been like that with exclusives at Target for like 10 years... honestly I think it's been like that as long as I can remember.
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Jesse James on February 27, 2015, 01:42 AM
Exclusives DPCI's tended to depend on whether an item was part of an assortment or its own thing.  Like one DPCI for all the Geonosis Arena sets, and it carried over to the next waves from a year prior and so on.

But then like a single ship, boom, its own DPCI.

What Jayson's saying is the mass release basic vehicles and the exclusive ones with a figure (exclusive to Target) are sharing a DPCI, at least on the website...  I never saw that in the past, where a DPCI was shared with an exclusive item and non-exclusive items at the same time.  At least I can't ever recall that happening.

Since I heard Walmart was becoming relevant again I ventured a stop this evening and was rewarded by picking up another Chopper, Kallus, and Stormtrooper figure. Nice to see they are getting back in the game.

Also found another Plo at Target earlier in the day but again he had a slightly crushed bubble, just like the first one I found. Fragile stuff...tough on us MOC guys too.

Same here. 

And related to the Chopper issue, I would trade a carded Inquisitor for Chopper if anyone wants to make that deal. I just scored the Target exclusive version of the Inquisitor with his TIE Advanced prototype, so my carded Inquisitor is up for grabs to anyone that might have a spare Chopper.

Still haven't seen the AT-DP myself, but haven't seen any figures outside the Temple Guard and AT-AT Driver. Which is fine because I figured the Temple Guard would be the problem with this wave.

TG is the one I haven't seen.  I'm looking for one for me and one for a local buddy ultimately, if I see them anywhere.

AT-DP Pilots I think have some potential appeal that goes beyond kids and even beyond the anti-5POA folks too.  I know I bought one, and I barely am buying any 5 POA.  I wanted it for customizing at some point.

Scored quite a bit over the last couple of days...

MOC/MIB:
Complete Set of Legends Wave 2 (AT-DP/Plo Koon/Gree/Jedi Guard/AT-AT/TIE Pilot)
Complete Set of Mission Series Wave 2 (Wookies/Sabine/Vizago/Wicket/Bossk sets)
Target Exclusive Inquistor's TIE w/Inquisitor Figure
Target Exclusive Phantom w/Kanan Figure

Openers:
4x TIE Pilot (Rebels)
4x Jedi Temple Guardians
2x AT-AT Driver
3x AT-DP Driver
1x Gree
1x Plo Koon
2x Wookie Warriors 2-pack
2x Sabine & Stormtrooper
1x Wicket & Scout Trooper
1x Bossk & IG-88

I'd like to score a few more AT-DP drivers, but otherwise, I'm done with these waves.

Nice to finally have new stuff flow in to Brick-and-Mortar and Online Retailers once again...

Unfortunately, those are all for my "squad" of Jedi Temple Guards. I used to build squads of as many as 8 figures, but over the past few years, I've dwindled it down to 4 - mostly cause you never know when they might re-release/update the character.

I will keep an eye out for more in my travels and if I come across any, I'll pick 'em up and let you know.

I had always planned on keeping the Stormtroopers - but I think I'm going to keep at least one each of the Ezra and Inquisitor figures for the packaging variants. I wouldn't have actively sought this out, but since I bought the case, and I have them on-hand, it makes it "easy" to keep 'em.

I believe the Ezra variant is actually between the 3-pack version and the Wave 1 figure. There is nothing different about the Wave 3 figure itself except for the date stamp/COO.

The TRU in Schaumburg, IL has raised the price on Saga Legends and Mission Series to $9.99 & $11.99 respectively. SL now is the same price as TBS, that's obscene!

This is likely an isolated incident, the store is in a huge shopping district near some wealthier towns. But it's insane nonetheless.

I just compared mine closely and no distint differences that I can see. My single carded version has a subtle paint application on  the eyes - a ring of blue around the darker iris, whereas in the 2-pack version it is much harder to make out. But that may just be factory sloppiness or whatever.

My luck continued after work as I found a very nice Hera 2-pack for my MOC collection at Target this evening. This allowed me to open one of the more raggedy ones I bought previously, and man, what a nice set. Hera is very slim but she has a cool little blaster and fits nicley inside the Phantom. And I love having a Stormtrooper Commander to ride point in the ITT.  8)

Oofah Jason, that's some steep pricing on some ultimately crummy stuff.  If Hasbro bumps pricing on 5 POA to now articulated pricing, I'd imagine that's not going to go over well at the checkout line for them.

I don't buy the 5 POA much at this point, but I wouldn't buy it at all at those prices.  The quality just isn't there for it.

It's barely there on the articulated stuff most of the time, to justify a purchase.

Yeah JJ, it's just plain sick. I'm only after the crew of the Ghost for the 5 POA line since I figure Hasbro will likely never be doing them in TBS movie style, unfortunately this particular TRU seems to be the only place around me getting new stuff so it's a kick in the pants. Thankfully, I only need the Sabine 2 pack now and I can call it quits on this stuff. Between crazy prices, poor figure designs, and horrible distribution issues, the fun of collecting sure is being sapped outta me. Thankfully there's still vintage.  ;D

I grabbed another Stormtrooper/TIE Pilot pack and I also picked up a replacement Cadet Ezra/Kanan 2-pack to replace the defective one I got in my order from EE.

Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Jesse James on April 1, 2015, 11:18 PM
Got my HTS Imp Troop Transport, and it is worse than I thought it would be...

As with most vehicles they're putting out, it's essentially a vac-formed piece of plastic with "printed details".  It's comically low quality, to the point of being like a dollar store kind of a vehicle.  So glad I didn't shell out more for it, or shipping.

Some of the details are interesting, and nicely thought out/planned.  Like, for instance, the cargo strap tie-downs and/or air-lift straps on the upper sides.  I dig the thought and am not sure the detail exists on the model in the show, but it's neat that it's there I guess on the toy despite being very poorly done/lacking detail to it.

The hollowness of the interior kills me the most though, and it forces it to basically just seat 3 soldiers...  If it were a tad taller, and a hollow hold (not formed seats) so you could put more guys inside, I'd be more forgiving.

There are little half-round nubs on the bottom that give it enough rise from a surface to imply it hovers, but this is a major fumble where they COULD have included wheels.  Simple little discs snapped into a floor would've made this roll nicely on hard surfaces, and added a ton of play to it.

The top turret simply spins, and has no other movement.  The little ball turrets on the front move side-to-side, and nothing more.

There was more effort put into the stickers, than anything else on the vehicle.  I  find this thing kind of unfixable.  You'd be further ahead starting from scratch, which has been on my drawing table (literally, being designed) since it's just simpler to do that if I wanna be happy with it.  I didn't pay much for it, and that's about the only positive I've taken away from purchasing it.

I stand by the TIE Adv. being the gem of the ships so far for this line.  It's just miles superior to this or the AT-DP.

NONE of them are stocking any 4" SW figures, not even crappy old ones. All they have are those 12" ones.

The Kohls near me had a good number of Mission Series sets.  And it was the wave with Bossk & IG-88, Wicket & Biker Scout, Sabine & Stormtrooper, the Wookiees, and Vizago & IG-RM.  But at $14.99 I can understand why all of the sets were still here.

Personally, I was hoping to find the first wave of REBELS basic figures, but no luck.  I may have to cave and buy Chopper on eBay.

How are you guys finding all these Jedi Temple Guards?  I haven't seen a single one.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat with 6" Bossk. I keep missing him everywhere I go.

You basically have to luck out and get there right when a new case is put out. The JTG's are always the first to go, seems like.

I have only seen them in the wild one time, at a Wal-mart.  It would help to have stores like Kroger around, but my area just has Target and a few scattered Walmarts.

I've only found them once, and that was first thing in the morning. 

I've felt the same way about Chopper.  That figure is so scarce that I wound  up caving and buying one on Amazon for more than I want to spend.  But when I thou about the extra cost online versus the gas money that was getting burned up in my search?   It was time to cut my losses and buy Chopper online.

Got my Troop Transport from HTS as well and I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed. It's cool in a nostalgic way, but not in any other.

Picked up a slew of Rebels figures from Target today for $2.98 a pop. I have no idea what they are doing, but this is a great deal.

I picked up a couple of Jedi Temple Guards today.  This figure really is one of the bright points in this 5POA landscape.

Target near me sold out of Rebels/Legends...if they ever had any to begin with, which I doubt.
Saw two packs at Wal-Mart with the Leia/Stormtrooper Luke and Hoth 2 packs, both Heras were awful. One had a molding scar on her face. The other looked like a victim of domestic abuse. Wasn't that interested in the other packs.

Saw this at JTA
This is what Hasbro gets when they pack reissued figures with new ones.

Kohls.com has Sabine, Cikatro and the wookiees for $13.49 each. Unfortunately, since they are not online exclusives, you can not use the 20% code HASBROSW20 that expires May 10th.

That repack stuff is equal parts hilarious and sad.  Nice that they offered up a clone trooper versus something worse I guess.   ;D

Picked up another Inquisitor.  At only $1.78 on clearance it was basically a steal!

I noticed Target was selling the 20" Jakks Pacific Zeb through their eBay store so I went ahead and picked him up. That thing has been totally MIA at stores.

Now if Hasbro would just put out that Deluxe Hero Series version with the helmet, I would be good to go.

I wandered into the Disney Store today, which I've been doing once a week or so for months and miraculously found Chopper.  I've been looking since December.  I nearly paid $35 or $40 for one a few short weeks ago.  $10 seemed like a steal.

Meijers has put Rebels and Mission packs on clearance, $4.49 and $7.49, plus the 12" were...something...I cannot remember.  I saw the wookie 2-pack, pilot luke and skiff Lando. I almost got the wookie set.

Yesterday Night I bought Luke Skywalker SL22. Seems is the rarest figure from its wave.

I like the sculpt, cause when facing it with 6 inches TBS Luke pilot, it looks as the mold has sinked into 3.75
for accuracy of the Star Wars Rebels line.

I also picked up a Transport at Marshalls. Sure it's nowhere close to the shops from 5 years ago. Still fun to buy Star Wars toys. It'll look cool tucked in behind the AT-ST. It'll be the field commanders transport.

It appears Walmart has jumped on the clearance bandwagon as well. I picked up a single carded Ezra for $4.50, two TIE/Stormy Mission Series 2-packs for $7 each, and a couple of 6" guys for $15 each over the weekend. Pretty nice haul.

They had vehicles marked down to $19 too, but I didn't bite on any of those.

I saw troop transports and Inquistor TIE for $19.99 at TJ Maxx.

I finally broke down and ordered the 12" Hero Series Zeb off Amazon since it seems like pretty much a forgone conclusion that there won't be any more new product shipping til the relaunch. I never saw the second wave with him and Maul anywhere.

Bought an AT-DP for $13 at Walmart over lunch...it was the last on the shelves anywhere around here.

Also picked up a Plo Koon and Skiff Lando for $3 a piece.

Grabbed the last Rebels TIE @ Walmart for $13, an R2/3PO Mission Series 2-pack for $4.98 @ Target, and a couple more Vizago/IG-RM 2-packs @ Kohl's for $10 each. (That is cheap for kohl's)

Doing my best to help clear the pegs for FF.  ;D

Stormtrooper/TIE PIlot pack at Wal-Mart for $7.

Actually the first Rebels items I've bought. I wish the stormtrooper could sit better.

Saw a Troop Transport on clearance at Marshalls. Marled down to $49.99, "originally" $99.99. Clearly someone swapped tags to return something else. Still funny.    http://i.imgur.com/ckLFCKp.jpg
Title: Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
Post by: Jesse James on February 8, 2016, 05:39 PM
And not worth $9.99. :P

I'm still bumming over that thing...  Just a miserable piece.  That whole line of vehicles bummed me out.  They did much better on TFA's lineup IMO, but had a lot of potential with the Rebels vehicles.

I find the TIE ok from the line, but not amazing. 

People who want a TIE Fighter should just buy the POTF2 version...  Looks about scaled right, and features the printed solar panels, etc.  I see a lot of demand for one.  Color's off, but that's not unheard of on all their TIE Fighters ultimately.

I was pondering picking up one and repainting it actually.  It'd make a nice precursor TIE, now that "small wing" TIE's are a thing.

I bought a Kanan/Cadet Ezra 2-pack for $5 off Hasbros eBay store during their blowout sale yesterday. I miss buying Rebels toys. It's fun.

Post by: Scockery on September 3, 2016, 03:15 PM
Not as cheap, but you can buy lots of 5 or 8 of those two-packs MOC from China....even Hera and the stormtrooper. I assume they aren't bootlegs.

Was shocked today to see a few of the old Rebels 2-packs on the pegs at 5 Below today! I picked up the Cadet Ezra/Kanan set along with the TIE Pilot/Stormtrooper set. The packaging is 100% legit but the figures themselves look almost like cheap knockoffs. Same basic sculpt but with cheap, super sloppy paint apps. Would love to hear the story behind these...

The story as I have heard it and it may have been told in part here on JD is that these are old stock that sat at the Oakland port when they had a strike back in 2015. The stock sat in a shipping container in the heat for a good chunk of that summer which leads to the poor look of them as the plastic and paint have been affected. Since these are basically damaged good Hasbro couldn’t send them onto whomever they belonged to and sat on them until Five Below bought the stock in late 2019 (around the time I found them).
