Post by: Tamer on July 02, 2013, 03:07:37 PM: Guys I found some code today where we can put all the products in one link called a widget. Its on the front page if you scroll down to the lower left column. I will try to keep it updated with the latest products. They have a ton of different amazon windows for it, but they aren't necassarily easy to use and don't save right. Oh well, hope it helps some of you out as I know I spent enough hours trying to get it semi working today.

If you are like me you are gonna want to save some gas and just order most through amazon. I have my fingers crossed they will be ready to ship well, but have always had prompt refunds if I did have to return anything. They are pretty easy to use.

they have already showed up in some TRUs and Targets but I think the official retail release will be around the first week of August

Post by: dax415 on July 26, 2013, 10:19:24 AM: Thanks guys for the info it really helped. Was playing around with the shopping cart at hasbrotoyshop.com and they limit you to 2 Sandtroopers, not sure about the rest of the figures. Cool thing is you get free shipping on orders over $50 and I found a coupon online for 10% off as well.

Here is the code: McDcrew2013

Post by: Spookymufu on August 16, 2013, 11:35:39 AM: raising the helmet some and lowering the backpack to a more screen accurate location really helps the looks of this figure

Post by: Tamer on August 17, 2013, 04:32:57 AM: Wow, that looks great Spooky.
Title: Re: Black 6" Wave I
Post by: Spookymufu on August 17, 2013, 03:45:15 PM: I used a glob of sticky tac to hold his pack lower, I wish I was a customizer so I could make a more elegant way of attaching the pack in that location but alas...........

it does help the illusion tho and I'm really liking this trooper, just wish I could take some of the weathering off the helmet

Post by: Tamer on August 18, 2013, 08:28:17 AM: Have you ever heard of those rare earth magnets? I think those would be the ticket.
Title: Re: Black 6" Wave I
Post by: Rune Haako on August 18, 2013, 03:39:04 PM: I ordered Luke and Maul from Amazon since Wal-Mart won't be carrying them.

Post by: dax415 on August 24, 2013, 08:00:42 PM: Bummed out Walmart will not be getting these.....gonna be tough to get another sand trooper.
Title: Re: Black 6" Wave I
Post by: dax415 on August 27, 2013, 06:30:36 PM: Tried to raid 5 Targets.....no luck in getting a extra sandtrooper. I think this is gonna be an ongoing thing.
