I think they delayed 3PO due to wanting to get his plating right. I think they are planning to do him in vac-metal chrome finish. Hopefully they can find a way to do that properly, I hate when they just paint him.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
Pretty pissed I haven't been able to find the $10 Blacks at Walmart in BC. Anyone find them around here yet?

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
If you haven't seen them by now, it's a strong likelihood that you've already missed them. Most Walmarts seemed to have prematurely put the $10 blacks out way before Black Friday, I think about 4 or 5 days before. People already snapped them up... and the rest probably went at 6am on Friday (I had one friend who camped out to get his $10 Commander Cody right at 6am and there wasn't anything else left after 10min!)

A snake? ...comon'!

This was brought up with Hasbro and they said that smaller figures like Yoda and R2 are offset by larger figures like Chewie and Phasma... so if you collect them all, it balances out... just like the Force :P

Actually I recall that someone did! It was mentioned on the rebelscum forums many months ago I believe and the person was selling them on ebay for a "reasonable" price (can't remember what that price was though... the shipping made it more expensive and the fact that it was in US dollars, so I skipped it).

Vac metal? Don't hold your breath.

Yah I've seen that seller. He offers a unpainted and painted version, problem is he uses the damn ebay global shipping program nonsense so it comes to a stupid price after exchange.

You need to look around the aisles. The $10 ones from the previous waves aren't with the rest of the TFA-branded Star Wars Merchandise.
Walmart Coquitlam still has tons of Emperors and Codys on the shelves with the board games for example.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
Picked up a couple Stormtroopers (orange stripe) at TRU for $9.98.
Also got Bandai C3PO. Now time to put him together. Will fit in nice with the 6 inch Black Series

I can live with being beat on Black Friday, but I read a few reports they were put out before then which is the main reason I'm not pleased because it was in the main BF flyer plus there was a post of them showing up again after as well. Thanks for the input!

I think I covered all the toy aisles. Coquitlam is a little far for me but good to know they actually made it in store here. Thanks!
