Amazing score, Rob!

I found a lone TVC Yoda there last week but you hit the motherlode. I’ll have to check again tonight or tomorrow.

I don’t think I ever saw Yakface in any store before.

[Rob]

Yeah people have been finding some good stuff lately including artillery troopers, so I was looking for those.  I didn’t expect to find skiff guards but I’ll take them.   They were up by the registers… so make sure to look around and not just by the toys.

Dark Troopers are down to $9.44 on Amazon… I don’t need more but that’s tempting.

LOL!  That's less than the new single carded version will cost you, AND you get the charging lockers.

[Rob]

What’s this about a single card version?  I must have missed that announcement.

As for this discount… I went ahead and bought six more.  I figure I’ll throw them in the closet and if they show up in another show or movie I’ll bust them out for that part of the shelving… I had to have my wife order three of the six though, they’re limiting it to 3 per customer.

I'm wondering if this Dark Trooper might be linked to the rumored Moff Gideon Light Cruiser playset?  Hasbro wound up re-releasing the Death Trooper on a TVC THE MANDALORIAN cardback to include with the Nevarro Cantina playset.  Could they be doing something similar in this case?

[Ryan]

That definitely tracks. Three of the other recent playsets have included a carded army builder (Nevarro, Tantive IV, & Bespin). If for some dumb reason this one ends up not being easily modular, it will be nice to not need extra sets to keep a carded & loose version of the pack-in.

[Rob]

If you have any of the small Targets near you like I do, it might be worth a look.  The ones by me are putting TVC on clearance for $3.89 each.  Picked these up today for just over $20...

[Ryan]

Nice! For $4 I'd definitely want more of the tank driver Dins. The mini-Target closest to my house just got rid of its only TVC peg and may not have a space for 3.75 anymore.

[McMetal]

They’ve been on clearance here for weeks and the only one you can find is Lando at this point. I’d take another Sabine pack for 70% off if they get there.

[Jeff]

Here is a weird one - EE is once again taking pre-orders for the original Walmart exclusive version of the VC231 Stormtrooper at the original $15 price.

So you can get the VC231 original card (with warning on the Hildebrandt logo) for $14.99 each -> https://ee.toys/GSYLT0



Or the new cardback with the relocated warning box for $16.99 each -> https://ee.toys/H60ZR2



The shipping dates are not even that different (June vs July of 2024).  If you're looking to bulk purchase Stormtroopers, free shipping starts at 6 of the $15 version at EE.

[Rob]

I'll bite for $14.99 since they get opened anyway.  Just ordered 6.

[Rob]

Speeder Bikes are down to $20.71 on Amazon right now… might be the lowest price yet.
