Mercifully, I’m probably going to be able to get this one at retail pricing through a friend who’s going in a week. Fingers crossed. 

Are they already out?

I think there is some level of demand for pretty much any TVC figure that has come out (Except Lando).  I don't mind the reissues, but I do think the choices are strange.  Just seems very random versus figures that would fit together in a movie or a theme or even numerically lose to each other.

I don't know what the production numbers are on  general release stuff, but 30k Razor Crests feels like quite a few to me.  This will be interesting to see how the price moves around over time.   I've considered buying a spare of future releases to resell, but I won't be sad at all if the value on these drops back down to $350ish and more people can get them.

I can't justify that much for Dengar and IG-88. Maybe I would have if it was Bossk instead of Dengar, but he is the absolute worst figure choice for this format IMHO. I won't keep a big box or these carded at all, and I can find pretty minty originals for less than this.

I think you would be hard pressed to find quality originals of Dengar and IG-88 for less than $13 each.  Even if you did, they would be without weapons.  I have a full set of vintage carded figures, but this is a great option to experience those figures (carded or loose) without paying thousands of dollars.  I really love the look of the old vintage stuff, so getting these vintage style figures, the Jumbo 12" versions, retro figures for new shows/movies, etc. is super appealing to me.

I don't know how many of you (if any) backed the kickstarter, I had missed out on that but luckily, Big Bad Toy Store purchased a bunch of these books and I preordered one there.  Mine was delivered on Sunday and I am amazed at how well this is done!

There's great information on all the TVC figures, and vehicles all the way up to 2019, with a little look into 2020.  I can already see another volume down the road to cover from 2020 on....and I will be there to get that one as well!

Still in stock at BBTS.

I am tempted, but $70?  Woof.  My problem with these guides is that they are almost immediately out of date because new stuff keeps hitting.  A book like this covering the original vintage line would be fantastic, but I kind of want to wait until they're done making TVC to buy a book that covers the TVC line.  Or if it was electronic and included updates, that's the route I'd go.  I'm sure it's an awesome book though - I've seen lots of praise for it elsewhere as well.

Why would a Stormtrooper have a @#$&* lightsaber? That is just asinine.

Yeah, what idiot would come up with a concept like that!

Ordered.  I love these Retro figures.

I saw this set pop up locally for $80, so I'm going to bite at that price.  I think it was originally $60, so $20 markup or $20 per figure for an exclusive feels about right to me.  I'm sure it will be out in droves later in the year, but I've gotten burned waiting on stuff before.  He also has a black series figure I still need for $20, so that's an easy way to blow $100 on Monday morning.

Caught the reissue Baze Malbus and Jedha Stormtrooper in stock on Amazon late last night, so I was able to snag both of those. Still looking for Cassian to close out the Rogue One wave, odd that he is the hardest one to find.

Nice!  Did you already get Jyn?

After many delays Target finally cancelled my pre-orders on this wave.  That's the second time in a few months that they've done that.

I'm glad I recently managed to order all of these on Amazon so I didn't miss out on them, but WTF Target?   ???

That stinks.  Target really has been the worst to order from between these, their exclusive Mando coming in and out of stock, preorders not all showing up on time, all the hassle with the prototype Fetts, Merrick's X-Wings hitting some parts of the country in droves and a drought everywhere else, etc.  Not sure who manages their toys/online sales, but lots of lost dollars to be had there with all these bungles.

101
No argument with Jeff there, they really should’ve named this something else because Bad Batch it isn’t.

How about just "Bad"

102
Creature set was there earlier, but it said “Low Stock” so hopefully more come back. I just got a shipping notice for mine today.  :)

Well, that was fast.  Got my shipping notice for the creatures and droids.  I think the FO set was still preorder. 

103
I just doublechecked my original order and this is double the price.  I'd hold off and wait for Amazon to actually sell them.

My bad y'all.

I appreciate the heads up!  Never hurts to know what your options are, even if you're not going to buy it right now.

104
Currently in stock at Amazon.

Jeff, feel free to change my link to an affiliate link if applicable.

$126?!?!?  I'm assuming this is a 3rd party seller scalping the crap out of this.

*edit* - yes, its being sold by "Toy Mine".  Otherwise known as a scalper dickhead.

If I bought with my Amazon card I would get $6 back, so only $120 for the 4 figures.   ::)

Thank you Justin for telling me to treat it like a stuck ball joint - I don't know why I didn't think of that.

I grabbed my wife's hair dryer and blasted the ramp, mostly at the end where the smaller ramp comes out.  After a little heat and a little tugging, it popped right out (#thatswhatshesaid)!

At the next MN Meet-up, I will be buying you a beer for your assist in unstucking my ramp. :)

I'm glad it worked!  Now I know what to do when I'm struggling with it this weekend.  We do need to get another meetup in the books now that things have settled down a bit.
