Nice to get some more reveals, and I’m happy to see another Anakin and Obi on the way. The face printing stuff has really changed the game (for both scales), and - sadly - kind of makes me want re-releases of at least the main characters with updated heads. Cool to see a TVC Cara as well, looking forward to seeing the Mandalorian figure. Hope we see more Rise of Skywalker stuff too (Finn, Poe, Lando, Janna, Kylo, Knights of Ren, etc).

I’m really tempted by the new Ninja Turtle line they started this week, but I just can’t pull the trigger at that price. As has been mentioned, there would be riots if Star Wars TVC went to $18 per figure, so I certainly shouldn’t pay that much for 5 POA, simplified stuff. I know the size of the companies make some difference too, but it is still kind of spendy.

I don’t know if there are a lot of Ninja Turtle collectors here, but I just had to post regarding ALL the new figure lines we have seen here lately. I personally haven’t gotten any of it really, but it has been tempting. Basically something for about everyone. In the past year or so, we have seen:

Rise of the TMNT (current cartoon)
NECA Movie Turtles (Gamestop)
NECA ‘80s Cartoon Turtles (Target)
NECA Arcade Turtles
DC Collectibles Batman vs TMNT 2 Packs (Gamestop)
Super 7 Reaction Turtles (@$18 each!)
Super 7 Ultimates Turtles (MOTU Classics style, based on original toyline) - coming 2020

Probably others I’m forgetting, but whatever you era it seems like you are covered. There is a part of me tempted to collect one of the lines, just sticking to one look. Of the above, I’ve only picked up a movie Mikey. I was tempted by the Target ‘toon 2 packs, but at $50 each I just couldn’t drop $200 to get all the Turtles, and I rarely saw them and certainly never saw them at once. I know those are coming back this Fall (with the Turtles packed together this time), and adding new characters as well. If I collected any of these it would probably be the 80s toon stuff, or the upcoming Ultimates line, because I remember being super into both the old cartoon and original toyline as a kid. The movies too, to be honest, but not quite as many characters represented there.

Glad it was simple enough to preorder, but seems strange that this character is exclusive but something like the Jawa is not. Nothing at all against Jawas, just that the little we have seen/been told presents IG-11 as a pretty significant character.

I just ordered one from Target.com...

$99.99 but they have $25.00 off of $100... someone on Rebelscum suggested adding this $1 item to get into that $25 off range...

So that brought it down to $76... toss in a 5% off on the Red Card, a 5% off bonus Red Card offer they mailed me, and using a $10 gift card from the TVC figures I bought Friday, it was $62 and change after tax, shipped.

Do you have a link to this on Target? That is a great deal and I’m having trouble finding it via search. All reviews I’ve seen if this so far have been pretty glowing, and that is great to see. Between the Tank, Skiff, Barge, and now this it seems like they are really putting in the effort into these TVC vehicles. Really hoping we’ll see the Mandalorian’s ship next year.

Took a drive around after taking the kiddo to school and hit one WM and one Target. Both stores had an end cap display and a free standing display. WM had a mix of things, including TVC figures (minus Knight of Ren, but including Skiff Lando). Also GoA stuff, Black Series (no Mando, but they did have the carbonized jet trooper), the Skiff, and the usual lightsabers and Funko POPs. Target had no TVC (or place for them), Black Series (and carbonized Mando exclusive), GoA, Funko, etc. Overall, my purchases:

WalMart
TVC Rey, X-Wing Luke, Poe, and Zorii Bliss
GoA Chewbacca (curious to check one of these out)

Target
Black Series Rey and D-O, the Mandalorian, Exclusive Carbonized Mandalorian

Online
TVC Sith Jet Trooper, Rey, X-Wing Luke (Target)
TVC Knight of Ren (BBTS)

No shows for me locally: TVC Knight of Ren, “First Release” White Boxed Black Series, TVC X-Wings, and only one Black Series Mando between my two stops. I saw multiples of other figures outside of the TVC Knight and BS Mando, who seemed to really be the most popular.  Side note - WAY more Frozen II product out there today than Star Wars.

Can't say I'm too excited about the launch. My plan is to go online and buy $75 worth of LEGO to get the special free 20th Anniversary Line Endor set, then try to get the Mandalorian figure off of Amazon.

Can't get to Target until Saturday at the earliest due to work and my high school football broadcasts, and allegedly Walmart is only getting 1 case of everything, and I played that song and dance in 2015 so no thank you.

I was debating whether to stop by WM or not. It is kind of on the way to Target, and I haven’t seen any evidence at the store where I work getting any of the Vintage Collection stuff in. I’m planning on checking some places after taking the kiddo to school, but won’t get anywhere “at open”, so we will see what kind of luck I have. Mainly looking for the TVC figures, a couple Black Series figures (specifically the Mando and Rey), and I would maybe be tempted by the TVC vehicles if I see them.

Has anyone seen the next line (revealed at NYCC) in the War for Cybertron series? War for Cybertron: Earthrise. Man do the figures look nice, and I think I’ll be buying another Optimus (and Starscream for that matter). They also revealed Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, Grapple, Hoist, and more! So much for the “ah, I’ll just get Optimus.....and Soundwave.....and Megatron......” I’m not as experienced a Transformer collector as many of you (I had/have some G1, a few reissues, and dabbled in Classics before unloading them all), but it seems like Hasbro is killing it with Transformers lately.
