TV-9D9 / Re: The Mandalorian - Season 2 (SPOILERS possible)
« on: December 30, 2020, 12:51 PM »
Late to the party and haven't commented much, but holy cow, this whole season. And that finale! I didn't believe they'd actually have the guts to get Luke out there, and still didn't believe until I saw the lightsaber handle followed by the hood removal. I'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear or two of joy/excitement. THAT is the Luke we all wanted in the Sequel Trilogy, just wrecking shop for a few minutes and doing all sorts of cool Force stuff.

For some reason all of my friends seem to think Gideon killed Bo Katan, but I thought she was clearly shown at the end? If anything, I'd guess that the Sasha Banks Mandalorian was killed.

I'm really intrigued to see where they go for Season 3. There's no way Disney gives up on Grogu just yet. So I'm wondering if we get a time lapse, or build through the season to some sort of reunion.

Just picked my Ahsoka Clone from the hold location. Thank goodness I’m finally done with this nightmare of a wave.

Got mine delivered on December 23 as well. Fun set. The variant I got is the “heavy sand face blast” with the pistol packaged separately; I believe Yakface said there are two variants but I’ve seen reports of up to 4, all involving the sand weathering on the trooper, and the pistol either being packed separately or in the Scout’s ankle holster. Not planning on tracking any of those down, as this and the OG Speeder from 2014 already take up enough shelf space.

I also got a shipping notice, this time being shipped via UPS. Hopefully it’s easy to reroute to my new address

Just got an email saying my Ahsoka Clone is on back order. So that’s something I guess.

Retail has been awful in 2020. I mean it was awful before Covid, but the pandemic seems to have furthered the decline. Keep in mind I only really look at the Star Wars and Marvel sections, so I can't vouch for any other toy lines, outside of never seeing any Power Rangers or GI Joe 6 inch figures anywhere.

Target - Mostly empty pegs. Some stores got some of the Galaxy's Edge figures, most did not. On last check, the only figures available to purchase were the Dagobah Luke/Yoda 40AC 2 pack, which randomly started hitting here in huge numbers after Thanksgiving. Black Series red/black numbered line was clearanced out a while back, and the dozens of Holdos, Yavin Lukes, and Zorri Blisses were sold off for $6. Haven't seen any of the new look Black Series figures yet. Only one Target in a 50 mile radius (according to the Target app) got in the exclusive retro Marvel figures.

Walmart - Haven't been inside one in months, but the majority of my local stores have only sold lightsabers since roughly 2015. I did see both variants of the Black Series Baby Yoda over the summer, but that's it.

Gamestop - I've seen SOME hard to find figures such as the final red/black AOTC wave, but it's mostly just 40AC ESB figures.

Occasionally I will wander in to a Best Buy as well, and they're the only store I've seen any 3.75 inch figures at since TVC Snokes were clearanced out in 2018. Not many 6 inch figures, though I've gotten a few Marvel figures for half price over the last 2 years or so.

Thank goodness for Jayson and the Reddit mods for pointing out when stuff goes in stock online!

I had to drive 30 miles outside of town to the only Target within a 50 mile radius that had the exclusive X-Men and Spider-Man Retro figures in stock. Grabbed Rogue and Cyborg Spidey. Might get Gambit later on, but I have the 2019 version and would only want this one for the head and detailed card accessories. Would have been great if any stores in my area put these figures out last week during the Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale.

Probably Kenner Batman: TAS Batman and Toy Biz Spider-Man TAS Spidey. Other potential candidates include Toy Biz Tiger Stripe Wolverine, POTF2 Pilot Luke, and POTF2 Vader.

205
I lucked into finding one of these this morning. It was the only Star Wars figure available to buy, and was covered in glitter, making me think an employee had found one hidden somewhere else in the store. Oh well, mine now!

206
Got an email this afternoon that my Ahsoka has shipped. Kind of surprising since I’ve heard that Walmart was canceling some preorders (and then re-listing the figures as in stock  ::) ).

Also got an email saying my Clone was delayed until January 15 but who the heck even knows with that.

207
I ended up getting pulled away and missed the Amazon deal myself. Wound up ordering through Hasbro Pulse since they had 20% off orders over $100. With free shipping, I only ended up paying about $12 more than I would have through Amazon, still saving about $30 total with tax and shipping.

208
Currently $83.99 on Amazon!

Looks like it's the Deal of the Day for today only. (added the JD referral link Jeff posted in Page 1)

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Sales and Discounts
« on: November 27, 2020, 09:45 PM »
I haven't seen a lot of great deals for Black Friday. Dorkside Toys had some stuff for 20% off, and I didn't really browse Entertainment Earth much. Most of the stuff I need is out of stock on Amazon.

I am really hoping to find one of these at a discount in the next few days, if anyone sees any good deals please post here, thx!

Only deal I've seen on these so far is on Hasbro Pulse, where orders over $100 get 20% off. Cuts the price to $95.99 before tax and shipping. I will likely hold off until Monday to see if there are any better deals, if not I'll probably order through Hasbro.
