Just noticed the Modal Nodes multipack is also on sale at Amazon for 65% off. My total all-in-all was $34.
Looks like I missed the Jet Trooper sale though.

I went in with lowered expectations and came out extremely happy. As much as I love the OT backgrounders (still tracking down so many from 30thAC and Legacy Collection) it was really nice to see two prominent characters from CW+Rebels announced. Was also great to see the enthusiasm for Teva.

Did I miss the Feats of Strength?


Happy Festivus 

Seeing all these amazing photos of the final product, but having missed the initial ordering phase, I made peace with not having this 2-pack in my collection. Secondary market looked a little too crazy.
So I was over-the-moon last night when I saw this was back in stock on Pulse. Immediately ordered a set. Can't wait to have this in hand!

Well... after 14 years of being 'retired' from the hobby, I got sucked back in.    It's nice to see many familiar names are still around here.
Decided to binge watch Rebels to see if it improved my opinion of Ahsoka (it did) and that led me to 'just check and see' what sort of stuff Hasbro was making these days.
I had no idea Hasbro Pulse/ Haslab was a thing, so it was very cool to see that the Sail Barge, Razor Crest, Ghost, and Cantina were produced. Unfortunately, I missed out on the timing of those campaigns, but still really really neat to see those were made. I ordered the Krrsantan and Zeb deluxe figures from Pulse (missed the Imperial Officers on outlet) and thought that would be it. Just enough to scratch the itch and not get carried away.

Naturally, I've spent the better part of the last month learning about all the things I missed and where to find them affordably. No Ollies within 500 miles of me, so most of my catching up came from BBTS, Amazon, Gamestop, and a collectibles expo nearby... along with a good bit of driving out to different comic/collectibles shops. I have a well-earned sunburn on the driver-side of my torso now. Safe to say, the spark's been lit again.

Won't list much, but some of the notable finds I've had this month were:

TVC Hera - Gamestop online was the only place I could find her. I think she's back in stock at BBTS now though.
TVC Chopper - drove about 2 hours south to a comic shop to snag him. Just didn't sit right with me, having the Rebels crew without Chopper.
TVC Cara Dune - had to ebay this one, but I'm pretty much caught up on the Mandalorian cast now.
TBS Toryn Farr, VC31 Obi Wan, and TLC Super Battle Droid - drove back down 2 hours after finding out there was another collectibles shop across town from where I found Chopper.

Most of the first-run TVC are out of the question right now and that's given me a new perspective on repacks/slight repaints. I hated repacks back in the day, but I've been leaning pretty heavily on some of them to do this catching up without losing my mind.

It's been wild reliving some of the thrill of collecting again. I wouldn't have been able to do this without Jeff's TVC release list. That googledoc is getting some heavy mileage.
Wonderful to see that JediDefender is still here. Hope I can stick around and participate for a bit  I should also add a blanket apology for any/all of my antics from 15 years ago.

I was just talking to my brother-in-law about online communities today. Realizing it'd been almost 10 years since I started posting on different forums, I thought I'd swing by and take a look around. Glad to see so many old faces are still here. Hope everyone is doing well.

Wonderful as always! Thanks very much Chewie!
