I saw that as well, too little to late though. I waited long enough and finally got them on Amazon a little bit ago.YAK_Chewie":1k2g8gs2 said:
TLJ Purchases and Finds
- Thread starter Jodo
- Start date
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but based on what we saw at Toy Fair last week, the Finn/Phasma set from The Last Jedi will be released in the Solo line, so I guess it's not an Entertainment Earth exclusive anymore. The 3.75" Black Series Luke Skywalker from The Last Jedi is going to be re-released in the Vintage Collection, too, so if you're still looking for that, just wait and it will (hopefully) pop up with the rest of Wave 1 of the Vintage Collection.
Thanks for sharing those pictures everyone. I'm still trying to get my hands on the Rose in Disguise pack, and the Return of the Jedi 3-pack. But they haven't shown up in Europe yet, nor do any of the Amazon sellers ship them here either. At least, not yet...
So I'll just have to be patient. In the meantime I've already ordered a new pack of transparent plastic stands for my current and future Last Jedi figures... and I'm nervously watching the Sail Barge climb to 2000. Come on, we got to be able to reach 2000 by this weekend!

Unfortunately, i believe they were simply on display, and their status hasnt changed. Many arent willing to pay the inflated prices and shipping at EE, so theyll eventually be clearanced and available from third parties like the 'lost' RO figures most likely. I know i'm waiting...
That's disappointing! Hopefully they hit retail eventually.darth_sidious":2pwki082 said:
I'd really love to pick up another Phasma figure (even if it's not very different from other Phasma figures) and the First Order Finn to go with the First Order Rose figure I have. At the very least, I'm hoping it'll pop up on Amazon like some of the "lost" Rogue One figures have, like you said. Hasbro really needs to get their act together with all of these cancelled figures, though.Its really hard to get the Rose/BB-8/BB-9E pack overseas. I've been keeping an eye on Amazon on a daily basis, hoping someone would ship the damn thing to Europe. But no luck so far.
I have on the other hand ordered the Return of the Jedi 3 pack, the Entertainment Earth droid pack (which is severely at a discount now), and a TFA pack that includes the Riotgear Stormtrooper. The latter was the last figure missing from my TFA collection, so I just had to get it. But Hasbro doesn't seem to want to release this figure on a seperate card, so I'm forced to buy a pack that includes figures I already own.
Initially I was really on the fence regarding the OT figures that were being released along side the TFA waves. But I have since turned around on that, and realised it would be really nice to have modern updates of various figures along side my classic Kenner collection. The Return of the Jedi pack (that includes the emperor, luke and the royal guard) has even fueled a desire to maybe one day build a throneroom diorama. If only sites like GTP offered more options to build other classic OT scenes. I can't see myself building all of it out of cartboard, wood and foam.

Same boat with me. Hasbro makes just enough of this stuff that the rare is usually only the last stock to be sent (or not... In the case of TFA). I've passed on all the figures since I won't pay $10 a figure... When I'm basically a loose collector anyways. Just randomly checking eBay on impulse is how collect these days and you can find anything if you just search "SW LOTS". That's how you get like POTF '85 figures... Or over half of TLJ figures loose for $34 etc.
If it was the OLD TIMES I would happily! Run to (insert store) for $5 figures, $20 ships, $10-$13 multipacks, etc.
They could easily do this again its just a refusal. Which is sad. I'd rather have organized quantity over say... "overpriced quality"... Cough* BLACK SERIES... Cough*
Hey guys! Been awhile...So, now that the TLJ line is coming to close I've been looking back in hindsight of what I got and what I wasn't able to find...The 3 figures that I've wanted since they were announced was the Walmart exclusive 3.75" Luke, Stormtrooper Executioner, and the Praetorian Guard. Has anyone had any luck finding these lately? It's been very frustrating not being able to get those; especially that Praetorian Guard! :x
My The Last Jedi collection is basically complete, except for the Snoke and Luke figures being released in the Vintage Collection. (I never found the Luke figure when it was released under the Black Series, and I never bought the Black Series version of Rose, but if it's cheap enough, I might pick it up.)
That being said, I'm trying to find a loose Poe figure from the Ski Speeder. I don't really collect the vehicles, otherwise I'd just buy the whole thing, but does anyone know where I might find one of these Poe figures on eBay? (I really don't understand why this wasn't the standard Poe released being that he appears in his captain's jacket for the majority of the film anyways.)
Thanks!

Poe from Ski Speeder is probably the best Poe figure in 3.75 scale, I wanted the figure, but not the ship, but it wasn't available loose on ebay under $20, so I bought the whole thing on sale for $12! Lol...no idea what to do with the ship, as I did the same with the A-Wing. I'd check Amazon, and around the web, you might be able to find the same.
My TLJ collection is nearly finished as well, but I do need the Forcelink set from TRU - has anyone seen these on clearance? I think the liquidation was halted, so I have no idea what the prices are like at TRU...

I just saw your message, so my apologies!darth_sidious":2iipr5pe said:
Thanks for the advice! I agree, just by looking at the figure, he seems great. I wish he was super-articulated, but I really can't complain too much. I've been pleased with all of my Poe figures so far.
I saw the ship on sale on Amazon a while back and passed on it because I thought it might go down lower. $12 is a really good deal! I would've paid that. Where did you find it? I'll just keep my eyes peeled and keep checking Amazon and other retailers, I guess! Thanks!I also need that set, but to be honest, I kind of forgot it existed, so I won't be heartbroken if I don't get it. It's $35 on the Toys R Us website right now (https://www.toysrus.com/buy/action-figu ... -135584646), which is cheaper than Walmart and ToyWiz. (They both have it listed for $55.) I don't know if that's a good deal or not! I don't really go to Toys R Us, to be honest. Sorry!
So frustrated by the fact I have only ever found ONE Pratorian 3.75" Walmart BS figure. For those that want to army build this guy its next to impossible. I only want two as I army build in even numbers and frankly, the TLJ was the worst SW film I've seen (don't even own it). Just today I looked online to see if I could find any. Ebay.... even on freakin ebay... there was exactly ONE for sale. Three days left and bidding already over $20. Amazon? Try $45. Ridiculous. Would've been a good addition to the first wave of VC to go with Snoke... but no... instead we get Jyn, a figure many can still find on the pegs. SMH I found the Rey/Guard two pack for $7 at Walmart so I picked it up in case I ever find another SA guard for reasonable price I can do a head swap
I understand your frustration with that figure... me thinks there are untold thousands that are sitting in warehouses... they will eventually pop up either online via BBTS or another e-tailer, or even at Five Below...

piles and piles of TLJ vehicles and those rathnar/probe droid packs on clearance for $9 .
