    Okay, now I have to ask, how many times have you run into that and is it really an issue?

    The Star Wars sections are starting to look like the Voltron sections. My friend and I went to a TRU and they had more Ackbar sets than the other dozen stores in the area had Black Series put together. They should be embarrassed. For fuck's sake, I haven't ordered Black Series in a year and a half and I have more in stock than these "real" stores. Solo is supposed to be out in a month and there is nothing for sale except the occasional battered to Hell and back Zuvio or Cassian.

    Tru didn’t get any Solo movie stuff.

    Targets are flooded with Hans, and some range troopers.

    Walmart’s have nothing.

    Yeah, they are way too tiny to be $6 for two. I bought one set but I wont be buying more at that price. Honestly they should have just been pack-in accessories with Luke, Rey and Chewie and in the Luke & Rey sets that come with chunks of Ahch-To.

    I keep seeing the Dewback and keep getting more and more tempted to grab one. It looks so good and I have a weakness for the Dewback. I keep thinking of my Action Fleet Dewback, POTF Dewback and 12" Dewback that have been sitting unloved in storage for years....must resist!

    This is my problem. I'm only looking for 3 3/4 stuff and there's nothing. Checked a few walmarts and my local TRU and there's nothing. They got the Solo lego sets but no Hasbro stuff.
    (And we unfortunately don't have any Targets in Canada any more).

    If Infinity War is anything to go by my local Walmart won't be putting out any Solo figures till mid-May at the earliest, closer to the movies release, only a week ago did we start putting out Infinity War products (still no exclusive Thanos of course).

    Eh I'm not to worried about getting the figures I want though I got Han, Lando, the Range Trooper, Tarkin, 4-LOM, & Q'ra on preorder with BBTS they'll eventually get them in. I just want to get a few more Jawas and Range Troopers for five dollars as well as the exclusive Trooper but considering its a Walmart exclusive it will be pretty elusive.

    Still can't decide though if I want to get the Dewback though for full price or wait for it to go down in price, still waiting for the Landspeeder w/Luke to go below 40 dollars on Amazon.

    The 3.75” are scare here too, Targets have some, pretty much everyone takes the one storm trooper and leave the rest.

    Saw some wampa’s and the othe set with the bike also. I guess the case comes 1 wampa, 2 bikes and the other one from last jedi. Which is on clearance with a diff UPC. Great case assortments. Should have did 2 and 2.

    You missed some great deals on amazon for the landspeeder. I got it for $30 during the holidays and it went as low as $20 afterwards.

    Woot! Managed to snag a Black Series Captain Rex today. Nice figure and no qc issues on mine. Now I need to find a damned Tarkin and Thrawn.

    Most SOLO Black Series I've seen has been a GameStop. Target nearby had a little bit of everything but emphasis on "a little bit". Saw the falcon... WOW....that thing is small. Looks fun but not $100 fun, inflation be damned.

    That new girl villain with the bike looks bad ass. Hopefully her bike is big enough to justify the $60 Black Series price

    I did get a new Han Solo at one of those open-plan Targets, where they build a store twice as big and stock half as much.

    It feels like posting bait at this point but I think with the breakdown distribution this area was ahead of the curve so it's also a warning of what's to come elsewhere.

    WM is just a mess given how much backstock they have on the shelves that won't sell at even $5.

    It's weird, they send back old TR voyagers, but don't touch the BS stuff.

    The Walmarts out here are picked clean but it's not like they got more than two or three cases since Force Friday. None of them touched TR voyagers except for a mystery shipment of Prime and Megatron that showed up the week before Christmas. I think that was by accident, like somebody transposed a number in the ZIP code. It's really too bad that the genius over at HissTank that runs NJCC chose the same weekend as Otakon for his next show. Everything is very cheap there because Jersey is 3rd world poor or something.

    Is Black Series Captain Rex able to sit or does the thigh armor prevent that from happening?

    I was thinking about how walgreens gets exclusive figures with translucent parts. Hope they get a TLJ Force projection Luke aka the "Came to his senses Luke Skywalker we grew up with Luke".

    It's more of a "what a disappointment you turned out to be Luke Skywalker."

    Of all the cool stuff he could have done and become they chose to shit on him, for some unknown reason.

    Not such a huge deal except for the fact that these movies were sold on the premise that they were "bringing the old gang back!" lol, trolled us all.

    While I honestly do love how Luke was portrayed in TLJ (I can be a bit of a brooding hermit myself sometimes, so I guess I relate) I do fully understand the criticisms and I think it would be fun if JJ brought him back for the last one. It is of course heavily implied that Luke died in the same 'poof' manner as Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Yoda - BUT...maybe he was so fully tapped into the force that his astral projection became a full on physical projection and as he was making himself see the dual sunset he inadvertently force-warped himself to Tatooine. Episode 9 can start with a naked Luke waking up half buried in a dune, being poked at by Jawas. He can then go on to reconcile his rift with Ben and 'bring him back'. Wrap up the whole damn Skywalker sextet with a big happy bow that lets us see Ben, Luke and Rey plan to establish a new kind of Jedi order, one more focused on working with the Force responsibly and less so on age limits, midichlorian counts, etc.

    Of course I don't think anything like this would actually happen, but I do think there is plenty of open space for Luke to not actually be dead yet. Remember, his robot hand disappeared too. If he really died shouldn't that have clanged onto the rocks on Ahch-To? :p

    I thought Liam didn't poof, he just died and we never saw the funeral...unless that was the very last scene. But my TPM memory is a bit hazy.

    Sweet, I managed to gety local GameStop to hold a Tarkin for me. Bit over-priced, but worth not having to hunthim down.

    I saw the Sandtrooper with Dewback in store... they want $60. NFW. The Sandtrooper looks SO cheap. The model kit troopers look 10x better.
