I was just looking for those TARGET exclusive droids online when you posted this. Nice scores again! I'm glad you got the full set of those Galaxy's Edge droids! Are they even remote controlled?

Man, do I miss the like button in our forums...

These are standard 3.75" figures utilizing the BAD molds from the parks.

I did not get the full set. I left the red/white astromech as I dislike the droids where the legs are a different color than the body, besides, I am certain I have the parts to make that same droid (or at least 1 really similar) in my droids box.

Okay, thank you! It's good to see Disney getting out more droids again - at least this series is not exclusive to their theme parks...

Got some more custom fodder for 45€ shipped:


- TAC 30-31: Roron Corobb - Jedi Knight (Expanded Universe: CLONE WARS)
- TAC 30-44: Tycho Celchu (A-Wing Pilot)
- TAC 30-54: Pax Bonkik (Rodian Podracer Mechanic)
- TAC 08-04 Kashyyyk Trooper
8€ each

- SAGA-015 Sora Bulq (Attack of the Clones - 6€

- VC58 Aayla Secura - 5€

All came without further accessories. I'll use them for some new molds and I'll complete the Trooper and Sora Bulq with some parts from my parts bin.
Aayla Secura is going to become a custom of Darth Talon.

VC68 Nikto

VC107 Weequay

Nice, I just got premier access to Hasbro Pulse. We will see if it lets me get my orders in on the 23rd.

Tamer: It's kinda sad that Hasbro don't treat their customers equally / give them the option to pay for better service and early access.
The idea of Hasbro Pulse is excellent imo, to guarantee access to all their products. Still bugs me that it's not available internationally, though. Hasbro are represented all over the world, they could just ship part of the stock to each international base. It should be possible logistically.

But artificial limitation and bad distribution, no access unless you are a paying "premium" member is the the theme of the decade I guess.

I keep my fingers crossed that you get all you want!

Got these 4 action figures for 5€ and 5 more Euros shipped on ebay:



I'm going to use the Night Sister and her lightsaber for a custom of Darth Traya in order to complete the Sith Triumvirate. Yesterday I finished my custom of Darth Sion.

I didn't know The Lizard of Spider Man and missed the toy line to recent movies completely. But the detail on this 1/18 scale version of him is amazing! I'm sure, I'll find some ways to utilize parts of him.

If you want to see brilliant kit-bashes of various toy lines, make sure to check out the custom figures of forum members Moronarama and Starchaser!

love the cyborg Maul. That is one nice figure as is Savage Opress. I am surprised I can remember the names of some of these characters. I ain't loosing it yet!

That was a really nice gift by Hasbro, Tamer! I so wish they would all come in this extra shipping box at a $250 price point...

Found both of the TSC Astromech 5-Packs, which were Entertainment Earth exclusives back in 2006, on ebay:

I paid 120€ plus 4.99€ shipping for all 10 of them - so $14 a droid isn't too bad compared to the other offers in the bay for $270-300.

My local comic store had them for 59.95€ back in the day. The MRSP of $39.99 online was a really great deal to today's prices. And I wouldn't be surprised if EE reduced those sets as well.





I also received my Amazon order from June 13. They delivered the book on September 2, 2020. It looks like it was imported from the USA because all were sold out on Amazon Germany. It wasn't even granted that I'd get it. So I'm really happy to have gotten it for 29€ (~$32.48). It's worth every penny with 256 pages:

The lot of loose lightsabers arrived here last weekend. Click here for the full update.





I also received a lot of 10 Clone and Stormtroopers which were recommended to us by Sjefke a couple weeks ago:






I was also lucky enough to find two more pilots of the rare & exclusive SOTDS Multipack to complete this 4-pack. Although the blasters are not the correct ones, I'm now one step closer to completing this set.
I got Palso Thern (Blue Seven, B-Wing, left) and Grizz Frix (Red Five, X-Wing, right) for 12€ each plus 2€ shipping. I got this pack before in another lot, but incomplete. I paid 2.52€ for each figure of the pack.







And I won four different auctions of the same seller on ebay. He got quite a lot up for auction and I never expected to be able to win one of them. From watching his auctions and who bids when, I came to the suspicion that some of his buddies (if not he himself) bid on the auctions to push the price. The Jabba's Palace Playset came with an extra pair of walls. I'm 99.9% sure that the seller gets most of the figures from tunghori. By coincidence I only got Chewbacca of The Retro Collection from tunghori for $7.99 a few weeks ago. So I'm happy to now have Wave 1 of TRC loose and complete. 
But what in two suns do I do with so many Jawas now? Utiiinniiiii
