The Vintage Collection / Re: 2025 TVC Darth Vader's TIE Advanced

$140 is insane for this.  Sorry, but come on.  That’s only a little less than a third of what the Ghost cost with brand new pack-in figures.

Tempted not to buy it at that price.

Makes me wonder if they’re starting with some tariff pricing cushion since the current pause is just for 90 days, and might lower it later?

I only ordered one before but just changed my mind and got a second.  I figure between all the  movies and shows that pop over to Tatooine it would be nice to put two on the shelves…

I got 6 or 7 date adjustments yesterday, all for either 9/3 or 9/4.

Looks like pre-orders for the Gamorrean Guard have sold out already...  guess the $25 price tag wasn't that big of a hindrance.

They've been going for $50 to $70 on eBay, why wouldn't they sell a ton of them quickly at less than the price of Cobb Vanth.

I ordered all of them just in case the paint is updated... I'll return the Bib and Bom if they're the same.

I also ordered 4 of the Gamorrean Guards... it's steep, but it's at least a figure that feels worth the deluxe price and I've always wanted a few more.

Glad everyone is finally finding these even without me buying one on eBay.  I would have felt bad.

I have a relatively happy ending to the story… I messaged the buyer directly and not in the dispute section and he saw it and wrote back saying he had opened it, understood, and took a $5 partial refund to close the case.  eBay paid $0.80 of that so for $4.20 it’s over. 

I just wasn’t impressed with eBay’s answers to my what-if’s.

Here's an obnoxious one...  I sold a guy a factory sealed blu-ray.

He comes back over two weeks later to say that there's a small tear in the cardboard on the slipcover and he'd like to return it. 

From his photos it appears he's removed the shrinkwrap.  So I ask him about that and offer a partial refund for the cardboard tear... no response. 

I call eBay and ask what to do - they said that they expect me to provide a label and accept the return, full stop.  So I'll spend money to ship it to him, pay for him to ship it back, and then end up with an item that isn't in the condition I sent it to him in and is worth less for having been opened. 

1 out of 10.

This figure looks great.  It's not a $28 item.  My biggest gripe is that his left hand basically won't hold any of the accessories that he comes with, and the extra hand that you can swap out is for his right arm, so it's basically only worthwhile if you want him to hold the cup instead of the staff or a blaster in his right hand.

I suspect they have rules about how long preorders can remain open for.  I think I said this a few weeks ago but if memory serves they did something similar with the Deluxe Luke / Grogu boxed figure a year or two ago.  It was simple to re-order, but they just canceled the preorder without any explanation.

What a weird situation.  I’m quite happy to not be obsessively checking the app anymore.

Ah okay.  Got it.  I guess I stopped thinking about it once mine got here.

Got mine from Amazon today. It's a great figure and I'd love to mini-army build it with 5 or 6 more, but there's no way I will buy another at $34.
That's essentially what I just bought the Blurrg for  :o  Please tell me this won't be the new normal.

I'm assuming these will sit and be marked down later at these prices.  Given that it's a troop, I doubt it'll go full Cobb Vanth, but I bet we'll see them for $20 before too long.

14
Same, and agreed.  I also don’t love this thing where figures come with more accessories than they can hold or put in holsters.  It just leads to more small pieces I need to keep track of and they seem to be using it as an excuse to charge an extra $10.

Was this one delayed at other retailers or something.
?  I got mine weeks ago.
