EE is shipping these out one at a time. Must be horrendous with shipping, but slowly getting caught up:

That's really nice, Tamer! Glad to see your pre-orders arrive in good condition. That's a nice sort of reward for the long wait.

I was happy to see that SmythsToys received antoher batch of this amazing wave from Hasbro Germany. They shipped quite well for big box standards, arrived with the usual dents and scratches, but I was going to open them anyway. IF TungHori still had the latest figures for less than MRSP (which is $21 here by now), I'd still buy from him instead...but it just doesn't pay off anymore, so I rather support SmythsToys and Hasbro directly. It's been a while since I opened a TVC figure.

EE makes it feel like December. Now you got to open one figure at a time - like a Star Wars Advent Calendar! lol

Where has the year gone?!

Yeah, I am not sure where the year has gone already. Feels like it is flying by.

This might be bigger than I think...


Found these 6" figures loose on ebay and the seller gave me two 3D printed parts for FREE because I bought 5 at once. So we chatted a little bit and he even gave me his number. So I'm going to call him tomorrow.
He's into 3D printing and willing to share his knowledge in order to support other customizers.
As far as I can tell now he's the nicest dude I've ever met on ebay.
I paid 60€ for all this shipped!







A friend of mine has been telling me for years that 3D printing is the perfect thing for me. So folks this might be the day I officially get into it! I'm excited and "this is where the fun begins"...

I'll keep you updated! And by the way I was really impressed by the cannon: it smoothly rotates around 2 axis and there are no print lines on the crate. The reason for this is because they were printed in a resin printer - for just. 170€. It might be a good time to get started now. But before I buy my own printer, I'll get deeply into software skills first!
To be continued on our new 3D printing thread...

Wow, awesome items and great free stuff.

I sure hope you get a 3D Printer. I hope you let us follow your journey if you do.

It really does seem like the way to go. I mean if you can design it, you can have exactly anything you want in whatever scale you want.

I got my emperor's throne room today. I was pretty pissed that it was an exclusive, but hasbro pulse has gotten really good about keeping products in stock. Which makes sense seeing how pulse is supposed to be directly linked to hasbro. So good job!

Yeah, it does seem pretty nice. I was beginning to think I was the only one who got one!

You planning on making a full scene out of it JDeck?

Well i was planning to incorporate it into an imperial army display. It sucks space walls went bankrupt. They were expensive before the licence. Now, forget about it. I can probably get 3d printed walls or something.  I still like my 5poa emperor. But the head on this one is better than that smiling one for the regular release.  We'll see what I end up doing with it.
