I have no idea whether she'll sell well or not, but how much do you know about Rom Mohc or Sigel Dare? I'm not really sure what my point is, but I don't think many of the comic characters are that well known. Yet I like when they branch out here and there.

Collections / Re: How Much of Your Collection Do You Display?
« on: August 25, 2018, 01:33 PM »
I don't really have any insight or advice as I don't think we have the same school of thought here, but I'll post anyway.

Of course I'd love to have a giant room to display everything museum style. I don't. I am one who likes the display as much as you can clutter look over the prettier display what you have room to not have clutter and thus store more.

That being said I still have a bunch of stuff "stored" in same room. My wife is hell bent on selling the house and buying something bigger next summer. Hopefully that includes size of my toy room.

I'm also dreading it, but excited once again to tear it down and be able to weed out things I just don't need/want anymore

That's punishment for daring to open a Vintage Collection item ;)

The next item I don't open will be the first!

I can't open Vintage Collection. Too pretty

I wasn't blown away by the trailer, but still looking forward to it. It's the definitive "reviews" on the show based off of a one minute trailer that once again have me annoyed with our community. At least pretend you're giving it a fair chance and let the first episode air. Then tell me again how Disney should rot in hell.

On a side note. I can't believe I have to "stick up" for Disney. I don't even like Disney. Up until the 90s their movies were boring, simple, etc. But it doesn't mean they never make anything good. Sorry as we were.

Ditto on the beauty of this thing. Glad I got was able to get it.

$9 at Target nearest to me

Fyi this is in stock on target.com and hts

Street dates are the problem then. We knew this was coming out. We tried to buy it asap. We knew the set date was 7/29.

Then Target employees had different ideas of whether it's a street date or not. Some people got lucky on 7/25 or whatever that their employee knew. Some didn't. Then you got lucky if your store set the aisle by Sunday morning and other people coming in didn't talk to a different employee on 7/26 who did pull it/them for him and stock went to 0.

I think we and I include myself as a collecting community don't see the macro of the story and only the micro

Anyway sorry to hijack the thread

You make me laugh McMetal. It wasn't street dated. It has a planogram set date like every other aisle in toys. Some will set first. Some will set last. That's why people could buy them out of the stockroom. Filling by pallet is much easier than having to backstock and then repull everything. I don't think 6" Gamorrean was a big talker at Target headquarters. It's another toy on the new set. The 7/29 date wasn't advertised by them. It was found out by us. Target is very hardcore on having stuff in correct spot so if the new aisle isn't set they don't put it out. Isn't that what people bitch about at Walmart? They just shove it wherever once they get it and you can't find it. We all seem to assume every retail employee must know what adult guy wanting toys is talking about when realistically the 16 year old kid who works 12 hours a week has no reason to know.

The annoying part is some Target employees are so scared about breaking street dates even they error on the side of "I better leave this in stockroom and not give it to guy who knows the dpci even though there is no shelf spot just in case it's hard street dated."

Sorry for the rant. I just read this mindset often and it brings me back to my retail Target days

Ordered it on Amazon today. Hope to read it soon

Would this be awesome if it was all plastic? Yes
Would I prefer it was OT? Yes
Do I wish it was $30? Yes

But I still like we got a playset again. So I'm not gonna flip out on Hasbro over it. I'm guessing no one assumed Solo would under perform this much and nothing is ever gonna be as inexpensive as we hope again

Based off the info I got in store today these have a hard street date of 8/5. What is the point of a street date for something for a two month old movie?
