On the Movie Realization front, BBTS has (as of this post) 4 remaining in stock of the Star Wars Movie Realization - Taikoyaku Stormtrooper 7" Figure (Hong Kong Version) - pretty pricey at $135 a piece though. "Get me Skywalker! If he doesn't want to be famous, I'll make him INfamous!" *chomps deathstick*
Ordered it just before it went out of stock. Damn Bandai and their exclusives. I just hope the rest of them aren't exclusives as well or I'm going to be really broke.
You cant see the total stock any longer. The system used to be set up that you would put in a ridiculous number, and the system would update to show total stock remaining. They changed their system up so it will only show 25 max units at 1 time per product.
^I really like the hoodless Kylo you created. Was it easy to remove or did you have to cut it from the cape?
Picked up these online just now thanks to The Fwoosh. Black Series 6 inch bootlegs. The guards don't have articulation but will look awesome standing there.
It's to hold the Force Pike which come with the ArtFX statues that these are a KO of. I guess they don't come with the KO? That would be pretty useless.
I finally felt that irritating feeling you get when you walk into Wal-Mart at 11:30 pm, just in time to see some guy walking out the door with three entire boxes of Star Wars Black 6" figures. It looked like he dove straight into the pallet and grabbed every single box they had. Of course, none of my other Wal-Marts had anything so I dunno if they just didn't get stock or this guy cleaned out everything. That's $400 of figures he bought after tax.
God I hate that. WM should not allow it but they don't care as long as he can pay for it. I'll stop here. I feel a rant coming on.
Interesting. Jedi Temple Archives posted about the $50 TIE black series again. This time with a receipt and a store location. I ran the numbers through brick link (curious as to why this store would have it marked down so far) and saw that this store has over 100 of them in stock. Now it all makes sense.

The worse thing IMO is if he had 'help' from an insider within Walmart. That was the case with a previous banned poster from my country. He would claim to have some of the more sought after stuff and sell them to at a 'mark-up' to new collectors in my country. Later, it was discovered he had a relative working at one major retailer. No surprises then that local collectors 'wised-up to his antics. LOL!
yeah, neither did any of them in my area.. but one of them has like 8-9 tie fighters.. so, hopefully those will go on clearance at some point. i have no interest in buying this thing at full price.. but for like $50-$75, i'd definitely be game for that. toys r us has gone crazy though. $180 is just way too much. i wonder if it'll hit $200 at some point before they go on clearance in 2 years.
Having previously been a backroom manager with Wal-Mart I can say that this happens more than anyone probably would care to know. Though how it's done can make the difference between it being perfectly fine to violating sales policies. Either way it's really annoying to watch some jerk you know is going to go scalp the items walk out with an entire store's stock.
