That is very encouraging! Best Buy seems to honor release dates. I appreciate that. Target could learn a few things from them.

I didn’t like those arms originally and don’t like them now either.

We seem to, which is really nice. Best Buy going into exclusive merchandising was a shock to most of us but hey, if that means I can pick up some goodies (ahem, looking at you Luke’s x-wing) I’m all for it

Initially I wasn't hot to drop eighty dollars on a Dreadnok'ed out AT-ST. The figure looked great but not eighty bucks great. I ended up getting it for two reasons.
I have not been buying any toys based off of Disney's inception of Star Wars save Rogue 1. Rogue 1 felt sincere. Sorry Hasbro I know it's not your fault. Disney had been dictating character selections to you. Well I was pretty happy with the first episode of the Mandalorian. I would not have paid for a subscription but was offered one for free and wanted to give Faverau a chance. Jon didn't disappoint. So I decided to put my money where my mouth is and show Hasbro/Disney that good entertainment will be rewarded. I was happy that Best Buy had a few of these in stock and in mint condition. I was surprisingly pleased to find some new figures as well. My collecting had become dependent on Etailers. Though convenient, toys arriving at my doorstep is not as fun as hunting them in the wild. Enter Best Buy. Today was one of the happiest days in my recent toy collection memory. Today I walked into the shopping mall that I had known since the 70's. As a kid I'd hit their now defunct Kay bee for video games, toys, and D&D modules. Since the fall of Kay Bee I haven't had many occasions to go there. Today, I bought a Star Wars toy in a vintage styled box. I paid cash. Enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells of the old mall. Grabbed a cup of tea (milk and one sugar, before you ask) to ward of the cooling of the day as the sun began to set. With tea in hand sauntered home on a brisk Fall day. Good times. I wish there could be more like it. I miss buying good toys at brick and mortar stores. Hopefully Best Buy will have more Star Wars exclusives. I'd like to make that walk again. Let me counter that wonderful story with how a recent Amazon purchase went. I recently purchased 3 bottles of shampoo for my wife, and the new Sith Trooper. It all shows up on the same day, one medium sized box and one thin box. So logic would assume that 3 bottles are in the medium box, and the figure in the thin box, right? Wrong!! Two bottles with no padding and my figure were in the medium box, with my card bent all to hell. In the thin box, the third shampoo bottle was smashed into it by itself, and the shampoo was leaking out, because of course it was. Normally I'd put in a complaint on this type of nonsense, but I've already had Amazon complaints and refunds in the recent past. I've heard that Amazon will put you on a secret blacklist if you have too many refunds in a certain period of time, so this one I will let slide. Picking my battles I suppose. Geesh.... Also, why the hell does the new Sith Trooper (not to be confused with the Sith Jet Trooper) have a random ass bump on his shoulder? I assumed it was a factory error and started trying to smooth mine out. Then I checked JediBusiness, and all the Sith Troopers have this random bump/point? Why? |

Great story, thanks for sharing. Glad you were able to have a good in store experience, those are rare now a-days. You didn't like Solo movie? Milk in Tea???

Maybe it’s an Easter egg for the killer versions of R2 and C3 form the newer comic series? My worry is that the figure could be giving away a plot point that would be disappointing: is Chewie dead too? He’s carrying his satchel and bowcaster: why is he carrying both items?

Chewie and R2 better not be dead or I’ll be pissed. They are all we got left.

Hey guys, went into a store called Bargain Hunt, basically an indoor outhouse, and saw and bought Poe Damerons X-Wing for $53.00. Box was damaged, was a return from Target. I guess they buy pallets from Target or something...I saw Moloch TBS, damaged box as well for $12.00. Used an email coupon and got the X-Wing for $42.60. I checked the contents and they haven’t been touched. So I got lucky. Waiting until Christmas to open it from my wife. Got the Comic a Pack of Ventress and Tol Skorr from my local toy store and another GOT The Wall Playset for a Hoth Trooper set up.
