So either Winnipeg got poo poo or we're scalper city. No sign of Phasma or anything really. Just Han, Luke and Finn as usual. Nor were there any of the NECA Supes, Batman or Joker. Nothing. Like not even a section. NOW - I did see a ton of boxes getting ready. So MAYBE this weekend? Who knows. Expecting everything gone by tomorrow.

I feel so bad for not buying Finn...but goddamn is his figure boring. He really needs a lightsaber. Anyone know when that version is coming out?

Sort of. There's a K-Mart exclusive Kylo Ren snow base figure that connects with another figure. I'm assuming it'll be Finn.

Well, looking back, having my pick of RotJ figures, I still have no idea why I chose General Madine. At least when I had my pick of Secret Wars figures, I wisely chose Captain America.

When I was a kid my aunt was late getting me a birthday present and I knew when I got it, it would be the last one to arrive that year. When it finally arrived in the mail, I opened it and.....jeans. Two pairs of jeans. gently caress. But wait! The pockets were absolutely stuffed with ROTJ figures. I didn't like star wars, but toys are toys dammit. Then on closer inspection it was Madine, rancor keeper, and a bunch of jobbers. That was a real roller coaster as a kid.

I checked everywhere here and saw nothing of NECA for those figures. I'm just gonna assume Canada got poo poo. I did manage to get the Snow Trooper but there wasn't anything else. I just want that drat Phasma.

Once you go Star Wars Black, you don't go back. It would be cool if I could track down Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma, but oh well. Those are the hot ones it seems. While I am kinda pumped for the Force Awakens, on the down side, that means I will have to wait even longer to get Lando, Ackbar, Old Ben Kenobi and Leia with the hairbuns.

I can't believe how excited I am over Star Wars stuff. That big rear end tie fighter has showed up and if I didn't have other stuff to pay for I would be all over it.

No luck on Reeve or any of the NECA DVD figures today. Did find that my TRU has all the SHIELD Agent ML 3 packs marked at $29.99, so snagged one of those. $10 each can't beat that.

Yeah I noticed that was stealthy reduced in price the other day. Which is good timing since the employees had a 20% after hour event, which I grabbed it and the Villager amiibo.

Am I totally hallucinating or did someone in this thread post a recipe for an optimal 4" New Hope-style Obi-Wan figure? I've been looking at a lot of them, and none are 100% great IMO. I really want the head and articulation of the most recent two releases, but the soft goods on the lower half just completely ruin it for me. If I could find an Obi with a plastic robe that matches that version, I have the skills to cut it off and attach it to the one I otherwise like. Any suggestions?

Matty has new stuff for sale today at noon (eastern). A year ago, I would've been excited about a Dragstor, but now? I'm just kind of meh. He looks nice, but for $40, I'm not blown away.

Vegas and I found ONE (1) 7inch West Batman jammed down a random aisle at my TRU despite the display being prominent at the front (and empty). Gave a guy a heart attack by saying "gently caress Star Wars" in the gigantic Star Wars section. So tempted by the Neca Freddy Kruegers.

Does anyone know which '80s toy line this figure is from? Spotted him in an ebay lot, and I have the faintest memory of (I think) another figure from the same line. It's going to drive me nuts until I know the name. Someone help! EDIT: Nevermind! It's Space Commander from Fisher Price Adventure People. Oh man, what a relief.

So the local Toys R' Us here on the South Coast of MA are getting at least some. There was one other on the pegs along with a couple of Bats and Jokers. It's a great figure.
