I try to do everything through Gamestop but if I miss out then I turn to my backups. When I was burned by Amazon.ca for the first Storm Shadow release (exclusive to Amazon) I swore them off as my primary.

My typical pre-ordering is Gamestop first with money down, then whoever has it cheapest online. But no matter what, I always double up with a preorder through BBTS. They have never let me down. Sometimes their releases come months later (at least for Canadians or perhaps I'm just unlucky) but I have never had them drop the ball.

My Luke is still on preorder with BBTS. So I'm all good, but was surprised to get a shipping notice from Amazon for a figure slated for 2023 and then 2 days later get an email that instead of shipping that morning, they cancelled it .

I saw a bunch at a TRU in Ottawa a month ago.

I may have seen the Scout Trooper at my TRU weeks ago. I recall there was both the Holiday Mando and another holiday figure on the shelf. I had no intention of paying TRU's ridiculous markup so I wasn't paying close attention.

The Mando is still on the shelf in large numbers (10) but whatever the other one was, sold out, since I only saw the Mando the other day.

SKU number?

I don't know it, but I'm going to correct myself. It wasn't the Biker Scout that I saw. I just realized it was the Holiday C3PO that was the other figure alongside the Holiday Mando.

Cheap Stormtrooper anyone?

Just to chime in, I've yet to see the Holiday Scout Trooper. All the others in abundance, but that one is elusive.

My wife wants it cause it has the grogu Christmas sweater
