I've got to admit that I really like this set.  Did anyone hear or see anything about the vibro knife as an accessory?

This is something I really don't feel like I need, but I'll probably grab it anyway. :-\

Looking through press pics - no knife that I can see.  Accessories = rifle, pistol, egg, pram, stand.

I feel the same way.  The paint is accurate, but not exciting.

I do like the new Grogu though.

That kind of attention to detail is something that I would have appreciated.  And truth be told, I REALLY WANT A MUDHORN!  And in either 6" or 3.75" scales.  Or both!!

Not really shocked that the presale for this was gone in a flash.  Hopefully it won't be too difficult to find in stores.

It was active? Ugh I thought when I didn't see it at 8 pm central that it wasn't going live today

This has been popping in and out of stock on Target.com the past couple of days.

I know JediJman scored one yesterday and it was already delivered today. 

After 100 tries (they only last for 30 seconds each time) I managed to snag one today.  Hopefully the order doesn't get cancelled and mine gets delivered in 24 hours as well.

My initial delivery said Monday - no idea why it showed up on my doorstep 24 hours later.  Whatever system they're using to release these a handful at a time has been a royal pain in the arse.  For all the time I put in trying to catch one and the $37 price tag, I'm going to have to take a long look in the mirror about my priorities.  Right after I pop this sucker open!

Well, this thing was a hassle to get, but I Am really digging the figure.  The long rifle on him is fantastic, as is the Pram for Grogu.  I had a little trouble getting the stand to go in the pram, but putting the pin and socket under a hair dryer for 20 seconds fixed that.  The cap on the little egg comes off to reveal the yolk inside.  Still feel this was over priced, but it is really well done.

I’m so mad about this stupid set I won’t even be happy if/when I even get it now. I can’t think of any 6” exclusive that has been botched this badly. Even Walmart would do better than this.

I have gotten over a hundred notifications for this piece of crap over the past week+ and EVERY time I click on the link it is already sold out. What is the point of putting them up for sale one at a time? Maybe hold off until you have another on hand to satisfy multiple orders??

And to top it all all Patrick Asshat says these will be up for sale on March 27th.  ::). Anyone actually believe that?

I just want them to explain why this one set has been such a cluster-****.

Yeah, when I nabbed mine I didn't wait for a back in stock alert, I just kept refreshing the page randomly when at work and eventually got lucky.  It seemed like they were adding stock intermittently between about 10AM and 4PM each day and then it would end until the next day.

This was up again about 20 mins ago.  Had it in my cart but it sold out by the time I could hit the payment button.

Somehow I actually got one earlier today just by randomly checking, not off an email. Fingers crossed it goes through…I got a confirmation email but you still never know with Target.

My order showed up yesterday MIB…it’s a terrific looking set. Wish it had been a little cheaper, or easier to actually order, but I’m happy just to have something new.

Mine is arriving tomorrow.  And I think I might have some buyers remorse before it even gets to me.

I'm getting closer and closer to tapping out on The Black Series.

I'm getting closer and closer to tapping out on The Black Series.

I'm in the same boat.

I went from getting them all a year ago, to skipping credit collection, holiday editions, Gaming Greats, and comic releases.  I'm likely to drop Bad Batch and other groupings and probably fall back to only interesting OT figures.  I just got Ponda Baba, Dr. Evazan, Yavin Leia, etc. and really didn't get all that excited about cracking them open.
