Remind me what a Pulsecon Exclusive means.  Do we have to be members to order or is this the pre-order for members that might sell out anyway on day 1 followed by general release non-member orders the next day?

Mine arrived last week while I was away on a work trip. I got a VERY angry phone call from the girlfriend about the size of the box they shipped it in. So I guess you guys aren’t the only ones! She had recycled it by the time I got home, and I’m a little bummed that I didn’t get to lay eyes on it myself to see how comically oversized it was.

I should have taken a picture of it.  That box was ridiculous.  You could easily have fit 2-3 more sets in mine with room to spare.  On the bright side, I have a ton of extra padding for the next time I ship stuff out...

Sweet, that's two more (Justin I'm going to pencil you in unless we get a bunch of people playing).

Sounds good

I'll play if you need me to fill a spot, otherwise I'm trying to keep the # of leagues to a number that doesn't get me eye rolls from my wife.

I went in April and was disappointed to find that the Build-A-Droid stuff was limited to the big $100 bots.  The little 3.75" scale stuff is all gone due to COVID.

It will be back pretty soon.

Probably, but I won't.

Sounds like they hit the parks briefly and were gone in a week.  Probably see more of these pop up in the coming month.

Did everyone get this off Ebay or through Disney?  Bet price I'm seeing on Ebay is $28 plus $5 shipping - not sure if I want this for $30+

I'm still looking for one too.  I'm hoping these hit the app or in higher quantities come June 1 when pride months starts.

I'll keep an eye out for it and maybe we can group order if it pops up.  I can check with my Disney contact too.

*EDIT* Reached out to my Disney contact on FB to check stock and prices.  Anyone else looking for these or just Dave and me?

Prices for this set seem to have stabilized on eBay.  You can get them for around $70 shipped.

I was just at Disney World last month and there were dozens of these available.  Can't imagine the prices will be too much above retail until they're gone from the stores.

Flat armor.  If it was truly correct there would be some red lights in those bars.  I've gotten 3 now, and all of them have the flat armor plate.

Other variants / errors?

-Missing Wookiee braids
-Fett on a Zutton card

I think those last two are for carded collectors only.  Missing parts isn't much of a variation for loose figures.   ;)

Cool, thanks.  I'll be on the lookout for a flat armor version.  Missing Wookiee Braids is a weird variant to collect, since it would be easy to just fake.

I snagged a Child and Fett at the Jawa Trader in Disney World a few weeks ago.  Was shocked to finally find them and willing to pay the $15 price tag.  They got a little bent up trying to get them back home though, which is kind of a bummer.  I didn't have any good way of protecting them from airport security or smashing of overhead bags.   :P

I'm not up on the comics, so I have no idea how everything ties together. 

They only loosely follow the comic stuff anyway - taking what they like for the MCU and rearranging the rest.  Sharon as the Power Broker is a great example of that - its a totally different guy in the comics and I don't think turns bad.  Seems a bit out character for her being such a loyal SHIELD agent.  I haven't followed modern stuff for several years now, but Sam-Cap sticks around for a long time in the comics (I think he's still the current Cap), so don't expect to see that weird outfit going away.  They do bring back Old Man Steve Rodgers for a while (still has his super serum strength and fights in an armored suit).  They eventually find a way to make him young again (clone body I think?).  I doubt MCU would incorporate any of that, but will be interesting to see what they do with Captain America 4.  A film mostly featuring Sam, but with a Chris Evans return would be kind of cool.

Still another six weeks to Loki - that feels like forever!

Vintage Kenner / Re: Latest vintage acquisition

went to a thrift store and got a AT-AT, AT-ST, Twin pod cloud car, a X-wing and a 2008 Rancor with Luke and he still had the bone banded on his hand. all the vintage had little pieces missing but they are super clean. got them all for $200.00 so I can't complain much.

Nice score!  I'm buying about as much vintage stuff these days as modern.  Earlier in the month I snagged a local buy that included a complete boxed Death Star with foam, Falcon with training ball, TIE Fighter, First 12 Stand with cardboard, and about 40 figures with weapons including Blue Snaggletooth.  Not a cheap purchase, but I am a sucker for the old stuff.  Constantly looking for variations I don't have or upgrades.

These are brilliant.  The Chicago Bears as the urban big city bumbling incompetent dark side of the league versus the galaxy's greatest heroes - the victorious against all odds small town Green Bay Packers.  All is right with the world after seeing this.
