It’s probably being tracked with the Magic Bands that each guest in the resort wears.  You use them for park entry, paying for meals and at the various gift shops, too.  Since Galactic Starcruiser is so immersive you can probably only pay for things in that gift shop with the Magic Band.  And since Disney wants to keep the experience so exclusive I can understand why they would impose the limits.

I don't think they can force you to pay with the magic bands.  In fact when you check in you have the option to link them to a card or just have them work for sign in's and room keys.  You could probably pay by card for one purchase then pay again with the bands to break things up.  I don't know that anyone there is going to turn you away unless they recognize you or see that you're stockpiling.

Are they at all new or just repacks?  Skipping this one for now.

I like everything they revealed this week.  This is a good batch of figures from both lines.

Got another batch of six of these from my Disney connection:

2x B5-SL (Blue BB)
2x S3-R9 (Grey Astromech)
1x CH-83 (White BB)
1x G4-S8 (Green Astromech)

Delighted to get two more I needed, especially the CH-83.  I also just ordered the JB-9 off Ebay to finish off the set, though I cringed a little at $26 shipped.


Have these for sale if anyone is looking or would trade B5s or S3s for G4s or JBs if anyone needs a swap.

4x S3-R9 (Grey Astromech) $21
2x B5-SL (Blue BB) $21
1x C1-4B (Chopper) $70


*Pending*

Pretty good mystery so far.  Love seeing the different personalities come to life!

I’ve seen people on the TVC Facebook group saying that Walmart banned them from placing online orders because they returned damaged figures.  I don’t know how many returns they made, but it seems like a pretty vengeful thing for Walmart to do.  Especially since those returns were prompted by Walmart’s shoddy handling of the products. 

I have mixed feelings on this.  WM does a really bad job on handling these figures.  The latest TCV came all in separate envelopes for me and they were all pretty poorly damaged.  I returned for a replacement and they shipped the replacements all in one box, slightly less damaged but still damaged on every card.  That's frustrating.

On the flip side, I've read several FB Group posts about guys ordering 10 of the same figure, then shipping 9 of the 10 back because they weren't perfectly mint.  There is a lot of gray space between a folded card and crushed bubble versus a slight ding on the bottom left corner. If the banned people are the ones consistently ordering way more than they ever intend to keep and leveraging free shipping back and forth, Walmart should 100% ban those guys as they are ruining inventory and costs for the rest of us.

As for this wave, I had the same struggles ordering as everyone else.  Dedicated a solid hour to getting all 5 across three separate attempts through the morning, but I finally got to 2x of each and 4x stormies across just two orders.  Royal pain in the ass to order, but I'm just happy to have them (hopefully) secured as WM exclusives are pretty hard to track down in store where I live.

Signed in to Gamestop to preorder these, but sure enough they don't offer the free shipping for one of each.  They upped the price to $28 AND the shipping to $6 each, so with taxes just one of each figure comes to $75.  I want them, but I don't $75 want them.  I'll be holding off on these and just hope to get them in store.  I had a preorder for the Nightbrother and Jump Trooper and ended up finding them in store before my preorder shipped anyway.

How much you want to bet GameStop puts 2 different shipping dates on these to avoid people ordering both at the same time and getting Free Shipping? 

I'd put money down on that.  I was able to sneak in multiple items for free shipping with the Archive wave, but you're SOL on the rest of them unless you order doubles.  Which I have been guilty of doing...
