McMetal:
I picked up Ahsoka and Cassian from ROSS on Saturday for $3.99, heck of a good deal. I saw a bunch of Anakins and a Mace too. Would love to find some of that other stuff like the E Web!

Jediknight760071:
Well... after 14 years of being 'retired' from the hobby, I got sucked back in.  :D  It's nice to see many familiar names are still around here.
Decided to binge watch Rebels to see if it improved my opinion of Ahsoka (it did) and that led me to 'just check and see' what sort of stuff Hasbro was making these days.
I had no idea Hasbro Pulse/ Haslab was a thing, so it was very cool to see that the Sail Barge, Razor Crest, Ghost, and Cantina were produced. Unfortunately, I missed out on the timing of those campaigns, but still really really neat to see those were made. I ordered the Krrsantan and Zeb deluxe figures from Pulse (missed the Imperial Officers on outlet) and thought that would be it. Just enough to scratch the itch and not get carried away.

Naturally, I've spent the better part of the last month learning about all the things I missed and where to find them affordably. No Ollies within 500 miles of me, so most of my catching up came from BBTS, Amazon, Gamestop, and a collectibles expo nearby... along with a good bit of driving out to different comic/collectibles shops. I have a well-earned sunburn on the driver-side of my torso now. Safe to say, the spark's been lit again.

Won't list much, but some of the notable finds I've had this month were:

TVC Hera - Gamestop online was the only place I could find her. I think she's back in stock at BBTS now though.
TVC Chopper - drove about 2 hours south to a comic shop to snag him. Just didn't sit right with me, having the Rebels crew without Chopper.
TVC Cara Dune - had to ebay this one, but I'm pretty much caught up on the Mandalorian cast now.
TBS Toryn Farr, VC31 Obi Wan, and TLC Super Battle Droid - drove back down 2 hours after finding out there was another collectibles shop across town from where I found Chopper.

Most of the first-run TVC are out of the question right now and that's given me a new perspective on repacks/slight repaints. I hated repacks back in the day, but I've been leaning pretty heavily on some of them to do this catching up without losing my mind.

It's been wild reliving some of the thrill of collecting again. I wouldn't have been able to do this without Jeff's TVC release list. That googledoc is getting some heavy mileage.
Wonderful to see that JediDefender is still here. Hope I can stick around and participate for a bit  :) I should also add a blanket apology for any/all of my antics from 15 years ago.

Rob:
Welcome back!

Nicklab:
Welcome back, indeed!  I've got a good number of extras if you're looking to plug some TVC holes.  Feel free to send me a DM.

Ryan:
Welcome back! :)

I also took a hiatus for a while and returned to collecting a few years ago. For me, I found that trying to be patient when looking for deals and prioritizing the things I like most rather than just buying anything because I want to complete "TVC" has helped me both stay excited about the hobby and not overspend on backfilling the collection. I've been trying to spread TVC 1.0 and some of the earlier TVC 2.0 stuff out over the years rather than going for it all at once. I have been buying older figures here and there when I see a good deal or there is a figure I want to pick back up. You could always keep an eye out for lots too, and you may luck out.

I also changed my tune a bit with the TVC 2.0 repacks, for the most part I am ok with just getting the cheaper 2.0 repack version of a figure and calling it good.
