Finally found more of that first Archive wave and grabbed Han. Couldn't bring myself to rebuy Luke even though I rebought Thrawn for the updated face paint. My deluxe Boba Fett also came in the mail the other day.

I’m in a small town to get my Covid vaccine and decided to stop into the local Walmart. They had stuff in stock! Just the new Mando figures, Greef, Kuiil, and Gideon, but it’s more than what we have in the big city.

They did also have an Admiral Ackbar which I grabbed because I haven’t gotten that one yet.

That Republic Trooper is one of the hardest to find figures in the line, so I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t win.

I preordered the new 5 figures from Dorkside. They do take longer to receive shipments, but they usually have everything in stock and take a while to pre-sell out, so for me it saves time.

I happened to be in a Best Buy over my lunch today and saw 2x Mace and Jar Jar, but no Battle Droid or Qui Gon. So they are out there, but I don't know what the case ratio is.

You know, I got an email about Amazon changing the ETA for two of those 3 Vintage Kenner figures from May to March 29. Meant to post, but couldn't find a thread on those particular figures.

I spent the last few days watching Wandavision... I'm not the closest follower of the Marvel movies and all the tiny tidbits and easter eggs like I am with Star Wars, but it's still a fun ride. I enjoyed the comedic take on TV through the decades, especially the commercials. Ending fell a bit flat for me for reasons I haven't been able to comprehend, but I'm excited to see where things go from here.

Obviously this was a setup for Doctor Strange II, which we know is going to deal with the Multiverse, and I'm thinking that based on some of the lines and casting choices, Disney is planning on introducing the Fantastic Four and the X-Men into the MCU.

I'll likely check out Falcon and Winter Soldier when all episodes have aired, so I can binge it.

I grabbed the lone figure at Target today, Archive Thrawn. I was surprised they allowed me to buy it.

That wave was released a while ago.  From what I’ve been reading it looks like the next wave of Black Series Archive figures are register locked until April 1st.

Yep, this particular Target is one of the "unfriendly to collectors" Targets, and refused to sell me the Archive wave a few weeks back when I tried to buy them. All of the archive figures are street dated April 1, for whatever reason. Guess it depends on the Target, or a lot of luck.

Just got an email from Hasbro Pulse informing me that this set has been delayed, and the new estimated shipping date is May 20, 2021.

Looks like only Maul is sold out on Hasbro Pulse, but the rest are readily available.

Also looks like Hasbro will be correcting the Carnor Jax packaging to say that it's actually Kir Kanos.

Hasbro Press Release Says:
Available for pre-order at Hasbro Pulse, Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store and Dorkside Toys.

Price = $24.99

Not sure if they will hit Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc.

Okay, sweet, so the usual sites then. Means we should all have a decent shot at getting one of each.

While Disney owns Marvel Comics, maybe there is still some kind of rights or canon issue. 

Rights issue would make sense, since it recently came out that Disney isn't paying royalties to writers such as Alan Dean Foster for work that they did prior to Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm. Could be something as simple and petty as that.

I need all of these. Hopefully they don't sell out too quick. Do we know what sites will have these for preorder?
