I didn't see the other ROTJ figures.

A $43 GG Battle Droid showed-up today that I didn't remember pre-ordering. Back to the store with it I go, especially since the last $45 Battle Droid is still peg-warming here.

Good call. Practically the entire last wave (Dr. Evazan, Ponda Baba, etc?) and all the exclusives, minus Black Boba Fett, have been marked down to $15 - $20. I'm really annoyed with myself for getting them all at launch. I set the limit at those blind box exclusives, though. Not doing those.

Is Axe Woves Black Series a new fig?

I feel the same way.

It came out in the last few months. If you're asking if it's new tooling, or just a repaint, it shares some parts with the Death Watch Mando, but has quite a bit of new parts, too.

Was the Credit collection Moff Gideon ever found in great amounts at Toysrus? I ask because I just him at a local liquidator and don't remember seeing the figure before.

I don't know I'm actually interested.

People buy Lando, they don't buy toys they already have. And with lando, he was for some really odd reason packed 3 per case of 8. Which is a crapo ton of the same lando accompanied by shortpacked characters. So of course, those shortpacked characters get bought first, so it creates some holes in the aisle, so Walmart replenishes with more of the same case, which has an overwhelming amount of Lando and that cycle continues until there is just Lando. It's not racism (Moff Gideon sold fine) or lack of popularity (other Landos have sold fine), it's just supply and demand. In this case, the supply was just way too high due to an unbalanced case assortment decision.

I don't recall seeing CC Gideon anywhere

Interesting, well just in case you'd find this newsworthy, here is it. They had piles of him. This was at a Boom Liquidation centre in quebec where Walmart and Toysrus dump the stock that never made it to shelves.

I saw CC Gideon at both TRU and GameStop. Pretty sure it's still warming the pegs there.
