Recent Finds/Acquisitions: Vintage/SOTDS

Surprising finds at a Gamestop in my neck of the woods (Festus, MO)

I don't collect TBS anymore, but if I did, I'd have walked out of there a lot more poor than I did... I bought the TVC Jet Trooper and a Phase One Clone Trooper. Also two of Morgan Elsbeth, as she was on BOGO clearance - using her for custom fodder.

I've had it for a while, but I just opened my E-wing. That droid is cooler and cooler as I look at it. I still can't get over how much cool detail is in the E-wing sculpt.

Yeah, I might regret not getting Osha when I saw her.

I found a couple of Grand Admiral Thrawns at my local Wal-Mart. I plan to dye the figures red to make a custom Mosep Bineed and Tawss Khaa. I'm must not paying $59.99-plus on eBay for Mosep Bineed figures.

Hopefully, Mosep, Hrchek Kal Fas, and Wiolsea are among some of the re-released Cantina figures. The secondary market looks like you're paying a ransom! ;-)

What's the upgrade or difference with the carded Stormtrooper figure? Is it just the Dewback Sandtrooper figure but in pristine white?

She's in stock on Hasbro Pulse right now!

Which Stormtrooper do you mean, the new TVC one? If so, they started brand new molds for Stormtroopers a few years ago. They are much better than the previous molds, as they have better articulation and better sculpts.

After taking the girls to see Santa today, we stopped at the nearby Walmart. I didn't find anything in the main aisle. As I was heading out, I went down the clearance aisle. These were hanging there

Walmart is always so crazy... you never know what waves they'll stock, ignore, or just move to clearance

I found Jod Na Nawood at Walmart this morning and picked him up. It's quite novel to get something ahead of the media coming out.

Grabbed an Ezra and Jetpack Trooper tonight at Gamestop. $16.14 each with Pro Member discount, plus $5 monthly discount.

I was shocked and amazed to find Jod Na Nawood hanging on the pegs at Walmart this morning. There was only one so I grabbed him immediately. Got to the register and he rang up $13.78. More shock and amazement

The only time that I found the recent released Dark Trooper & HK droid at Walmart they rung up at that price too - I didn't expect that either

That’s is awesome!! Maybe the first time in years that a show starts and product is available.

Even if it’s only one figure, LOL

Hopefully the trend continues

I was actually just about to post a follow up to my above post about how my Jod Na Nawood rang up at a lower price as well, so it seems like there are good odds for it happening for others.

 

[darth_sidious]

I hope Target & WM both lower their prices for TVC, so that it sells more swiftly, and has the potential to show increased demand to these retailers, eventually resulting in it getting stocked more often.

target has to fix their dpci situation first. that will then entail their inventory fix, which in turn will hopefully be able to track what tvc sell and what doesn't.

I found and purchased another Jod Na Nawood at Walmart this afternoon. It rang up $13.78 again. I'm really hoping that figures go back to this price for a little while at least.
I figured that a pirate body could come in handy for a custom

A few days ago I got 9 Stormtroopers, Jod, Osha, Xwing Luke, all discounted from Walmart! And then Judge Mando, slightly discounted, from Amazon!

 

[Phantom-like Menace]

I got a gift card from work and went into Gamestop. I finally picked up Osha. I also grabbed the Mando-branded R5-D4.

Opened all this crap from the last maybe year and a half? I don’t know why I wait to open stuff. It’s more of a chore to break these open instead of the little treat, if I did them when they arrived. Might help as a pick me up too! Something to change for 2025…
