Thanks Axon!
I was so busy at work today I had forgotten about it until just now. I was in a SCIF anyway so I would not have been able to order them anyhow. Just got home and came in from playing with the dog in the yard and remembered. To my surprise they are still available. I wonder if Walmart improved things on their end or if these are just not on scalpers want list? Maybe Hasbro increased production? Either way I was pleasantly surprised. Now if they can hold the order and deliver I'll be impressed. Yub Nub! Surprisingly, those VC Incinerator Troopers have been up and available for several days. So, hopefully they are learning and ordering more at a time? Still waiting on my Lady Jays though.

I’m hoping they adopted a mode that they will take orders out far enough to take more than they were and have Hasbro just add more to their factory order, within reason. Almost like a Mythic Legion made to order system. It will cut back on the scalping potential and help kids and fans get the figures that they want. Also it helps the retailer and Hasbro sell more products without getting stuck with overhead. It’s win/win. But I guess it’s all for nothing if they cancel the orders again. Time will tell.

The VC Incinerator Troopers have lasted far longer than I expected. They've been up for a few weeks now I think. I've placed two separate orders for them since they've been in stock. Still limited to two per order which is highly annoying.

Hey all, opinion poll. Do you think the Kea Moll here has consistent color and is not yellowed? I think only the bubble is yellowed. Also the Biker Scout, it looks clean and dead mint. Both are on cut and demolished cards. Should they be opened?? What do y’all think?

That’s why they are still in stock.

Trooper that Kea Moll looks good. The shirt usually yellows but the pants don’t. This one looks consistent throughout.

That Biker Scout looks slightly better than the one in my collection so I think it’s going to be opened and put in my collection.

I've bought from that before. I bought a 10-pack for $35. The figures aren't Hasbro quality, but then you aren't paying Hasbro prices either. The troopers are a little shorter with swivel hips and a different shoulder joint design. The knockoffs aren't as clean of a white color as the Hasbro figs, maybe more eggshell. Hasbro figs have more of a gloss finish while the knockoffs are more satin. I snapped some pics, unfortunately I only have a couple custom troopers and incinerator troopers easily accessible right now.
I'm using the knockoffs as background filler, sitting/manning turrets, and as casualty customs. At $3-4 each I don't mind punching holes into them to simulate lightsaber and blaster orchids. Posed dynamically and interspersed they are almost indistinguishable from Hasbro troopers. Most of my Hasbro troopers are heavily kitted out. The knockoffs might be more apparent in a rank and file display. I've got a pre-order for 7 more troopers at BBTS, but may buy another 10-pack of knockoffs for a turbotank diorama Sweet. Incinerator Troopers x2. Paploo x2. AT-ST Driver x5. |
