Need a cara dune
« on: February 12, 2021, 03:14:24 PM »
I messed up and haven’t picked up a single version of this figure. Now that she is in the outs with Disney, people have snatched em all up and made her impossible or expensive to find.
I know there is a VC version on the pegs right now, I just haven’t found one.

I got one carded from StarActionFigures in the UK for 13 GBP. I could bring her to the U.S. and send her to you the next time I'm there for visit. The downside is, I don't know when I'll be able to come next time - hopefully this coming summer.

I could get another TVC one carded on ebay - 28€ shipped is the best price I can still find while other offers start at 44€. The Black Series Version is at 60€+ already - insanity! It's crazy how all sold out over night - even tunghori is (currently) sold out, but maybe he'll re-list some more loose samples.
So sad to see her go...

Thank you both
I’m not in a hurry, Mr More. I just worry about things that I miss.
It’s a shame that 3 3/4 isn’t pushed more in the US

Went looking for her yesterday but struck out again

That figure was slated for a repack, but now has been canceled. I would have bought one to make a custom rebel shock trooper or something, but not now. That figure is a year old, it never showed up in my stores. If you find one, you should also buy a lottery ticket.

tunghori indeed just relisted at least the carbonized TVC version of Cara Dune if that's an option for you, Clint:

It's back! Keep checking back. When I shared the link yesterday I was happy to see you were online, but I assume you didn't read it right away. Usually tunghori re-lists all his figures by selling 22 units a time. I hope he won't sell out that quickly. But I expect him to at least raise the price for her...


I secretly hope he can get access to at least a fraction of the units that are already produced, but canceled now and meant to be destroyed...it is sad what Lucasfilm has become under the rule of Di$ney and ther double standards...

I know it's in the middle of the night in Kansas, but tunghori put her back up. The basic TVC version seems gone forever though.
It's 4:20 pm in HongKong and 9:20 am here in Germany as of this post. Sometimes it pays off to set the alarm in the middle of the night, but I'd just contact tunghori if there's a couple Caras left for you. Fingers crossed.

So it’s like playing a slot machine in a way.
I had her in my cart and didn’t make it to check out in time and she was gone, then, later, I had her again, and went straight to the check out, and got her bought. It was the TVC version which was a dollar cheaper than the carbonized. I don’t know if that one was available as well, I didn’t think I had time to scroll sown and look.
How long does his turnaround usually take?

Clint, that's the best news I've ever received at 4 am! I'm really glad you got the basic version! Both are out of stock as of, yet, so I agree it's like playing a slot machine.
It usually takes 10 days for the $13.00 shipping rate to arrive in Germany. I always try to buy several figures I need from tunghori so that shipping kind "pays off".

Yes, if you have to pull the trigger like that on a figure that doesn’t stay in stock, you should have other figures that you want in your cart already. Works better if they are not figures that he also runs out of because you will have to clear the sold out ones prior to checkout.

10 days was about right to get to my house as well. I have received more than one order since I placed my first, all with quality figures arriving including this one.
