The Vintage Collection / Re: TVC and Tariff Pricing
« on: April 23, 2025, 06:15 PM »
Oof. Slightly less than 8% average for my EE pre-orders, but considering the quantity, a solid dinner w/ drinks. Not hating on EE.

Hopefully with Trump's announcement that the tarrifs against China will be lower than previously announced, businesses will be able to walk back some of the proposed increases.

Thanks for the comparison. Mine is scheduled to arrive Tuesday.

Based one the pic it looks like the mold might have worn down or the paint was too thick or there were too many layers applied on the torso. Also has a duller sheen.

I went with all never-before-made, also, with the exception of Baze. As much as I want Krell, Rogue One is a kick-ass movie (to me), Baze is a kick-ass character (to me), and I feel it's time to finally give him the TVC treatment. (Bhodi next!)

Hahaha, I forgot about that skit. I would love that Richard Pryor  in TVC along with Snoop Dogg and Ackmena among the non-canon SW appearances.

Glad you got the order thru. On your previous point, it is frustrating having the premium membership and not being able to use it.

Interesting that a re-install got the app working for you. I was going thru their website. I should try ordering again (and then canceling) to see if the problem persists on the site.

I got the message using my phone yesterday and  my laptop and phone this morning. I'll just grab from entertainment earth and call it a day.

Btw, my order that eventually went thru yesterday was for a product from a few weeks ago, not for this latest drop.

Oh, well. First World problems.

Hasbro gave the landspeeder a new feature -- a cloaking device. I can't find it by any search criteria.

:) It was just pipelined - there's no preorder for it yet as far as I was aware.

Er. Um. Thanks. 😶‍🌫️


Weird.  I just tried again and got this message (the same I've been getting all day)

We're sorry that your order could not be placed. This probably happened due to a high order volume or temporary connection errors. Please wait a few minutes and resubmit your order. We won't process your payment until you successfully place your order. If you have further questions, please contact us.


Had an order go thru yesterday on a second attempt after seeing that message once. Unable to place a different order later that day. Still getting that message today.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Everything eBay! Scams, questions, etc...

I've been hesitant to sell on eBay. 1) fees, 2) scammers.

I've purchased plenty, though.

On one instance I bought a vintage playset for a good price. Described as complete, clean, blah, blah, blah. His pics showed this. A few days later the seller canceled the auction, saying the item was dirty and in bad shape. ??? I figured he came across another buyer who offered more.

Another time I received the wrong toy. I spoke with the seller, and after sending it back, he sent me the correct $40 ship and refunded my payment!

A third issue was when the seller mixed up addresses and sent me an item that was a few dollars. He tried contacting the other buyer to retrieve my item but the douche wouldn't respond. The seller immediately refunded my payment. I did feel bad he was out the $150 for the item I won.

Lots of good people, but the few bad apples spoil the process for me. Maybe one day...

Thanks, Jeff. My app opened when I clicked on the link. Hopefully you're credited.

I did a double-take when I saw the total. Haha. So used to seeing TVC pricing.

Thanks! I forgot this was supposed to go online yesterday. And your post just saved me $10 in shipping.

It's pleasantly surprising that a few grab my interest  enough that I'd consider buying them as a stand-in until the character is made in TVC. In the case of Chewie, the accessories are part of the lure. Dang it, Hasbro, you're starting to reel me in.  :P

Hopefully they'll just include a cloak with a McCann head swap and be done with it.

I agree about Shin. I said the same thing.

My interest in amassing a battledroid army went up the last few years, so the builder pack is welcomed. It's nice they're trying to address the falling down issue with firmer plastic.

I was impressed with the likeness of the Cantina figs.

Overall, I'm pleased with how the figs are.
