That going to be so hard to get Bly, I gave my 33/4 version to my son, I wanted two of these Blys, one for me and one for him.

Prequel stuff has been HOT lately too. Mace, Padme, and the Battle Droid disappeared from EBs pretty quick. Time to start sweet talking the staff at my local store to have them keep an eye out for them for me.

I would order a case but Bly and Dooku are all I want. I hate the new trilogy, why double pack those.

Same here. I usually buy cases, but not for just 2 figures. 5 or 6 of 8, OK, but not 2.

I feel like this is the sentiment of most fans. And re-releasing that shelf warming Yavin Luke seems like a mistake. I get that they messed up the packaging the first time around but if they’re going to re-release a figure why not do the Mandalorian? I just don’t want to see this clog shelves and stop up distribution. Waves are already unpredictable here. Still miffed that we missed the Aphra wave. Still need a 000 and BT.

Yeah. I don’t think anyplace aside from some conic shops got them. They were up on Amazon ca for a while too, but prices were all over the place. Not paying $50 or a 6 inch murder bot, lol.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

It’s the norm lately for non force Friday or main waves to just totally skip retail here. It’s such a crapshoot. Marvel legends has no issues with waves sometimes hitting here before the USA. While black series just totally skips waves at retail.

Funny too that LCS stopped carrying black series too as they said they cost way more for a case for them compared to marvel legends and they don’t sell even close to as many.

Oof

How is that possible, who doesn’t want constable zuvio, 3 different double packed Rays, Finns? What about admiral Holdo, Maz kanaka,DJ and the rest? Why don’t people want to spend $30 on them? It’s almost like people want mainly want original trilogy, prequel and clone wars figures, but I guess Hasbro/Disney know best.

I must have been lucky then I managed to get all 3 at retail despite the fact they kept sending them in crushed bubble mailers lol
