Turns out they were the 3.75" figures (and possibly KOs still since they were from China).
I still want to get a Finn and a Poe, and I'd been looking at the regular 3.75" versions (but the Poe I prefer only comes with the X-Wing). Now I know there's fancier 3.75" versions I might get those - or still commit to the 6" versions if I can find them cheap. Have seen Finn (in both regular and stormtrooper outfits) in a lot of stores, but haven't see a Poe in a long time.
I exaggerate sometimes.:oQuote:

hmm. i don't really care too much about the vintage styling etc. i'm more interested in just being able to potentially get an x-wing luke and R2-D2 at reasonable retail prices. the leia also has at least a better paint job if not a better sculpt as well.
He's $30 at The Little Toy Company now. I'd say most of us would have happily paid double that a few months ago for a Black Series 6" scale R2-D2 :DQuote:

Praying P.C can nab some of the X-Wing Lukes. I think once I have all of the Original 12 + the 40th anniversary exclusives I'll call it quits on the Black Series line. At least until they do some fancy commemorative reissues for Yoda and Boba Fett.
Can't help but feel this line is deteriorating. Sure there's the odd must have figure, but in general they're lacking in detail and accessories compared to the earlier ones in the line.
It is true, they are cutting corners on the Black Series line and it shows. Best example: how they can release a 6" premium Black Series Luke Jedi without a robe or anything other than a saber?!? Just one of the many head-scratchers.
I think Force Awakens was the real low point for TBS. Some very lack lustre figures. Since then, I think there has been an overall improvement, with some hits and misses.Quote:

Hera/Lando/Imperial Guard/QuiGon wave is available for pre-order on The Little Toy Company. I've pre-ordered Hera! :D
This wave does look a lot nicer I'll give them that. Any word on what the case break down will be for the Lando wave?Quote:

Thanks! Pre-ordered the Royal Guard. June/July release. :)Quote:

I'd say Fett is a certainty to be reissued for the anniversary of the next films. Might be waiting for the 2040's for Maul and Anakin though.Quote:

Oh thanks, I'm keen on Anakin please! I'm collecting them MISB as a surprise to give to him on his 18th birthday but I'll give him the loose Anakin for his upcoming 8th birthday because it's his favourite character. Will PM you.Quote:

Bricks and mortar or online as well? Haven't seen much in the way of price reductions on Amazon. :(Quote:

TRU Cannington had them but didn't have the SSL.
Received the Clone Trooper exclusive 4-pack yesterday from PC. A neat little package.
I just got the AT AT Pilot and Obi Wan from Green Rock Comics in Melbourne. Fairly priced, and does local pick up to save on postage. Definitely recommend.
http://stores.ebay.com.au/greenrockcomics
Plenty of heavy discounts to be had of Star Wars old stock at Target.
(6-inch figures are full price though)
Myer has some of their Star Wars stuff reduced also. Red stickers on stock. Mainly Force Awakens and Black Series 4 packs.Quote:

That's an absurd price, however when I googled it turns out its an old SDCC exclusive and some poor guy on ebay paid $350 for a set, I'll just wait until it drops to $100 or less, maybe.
Any word on a repack of BS boba fett in the kenner homage packaging?

Anyone hear or know of any 'May the 4th be with you' store promos happening tomorrow ?
I read on FB that TRU are going to have a 'Buy One Get One 50% off' sale, I might go pick some of the 40th Anniversary Black Series figures if my local has any.Quote:

Just got back from TRU. Every single 40th Aniversary product was sold out.:rolleyes::(
Glad I got what I wanted online, knew it was gonna happen.Quote:

Well that's what one girl told me when they ran out of a promo hotwheels car long ago, got lucky with rouge one stuff last time because a scalper was sorting through them taking his sweet time, literally started punching boxes so I could grab anything off him though, they never take anything once its no longer mint heh
TRU
40th Anniversary Darth Vader $80
Boba Fett & Han Solo in Carbonite $200
Did they actually get them in stock? I was at my local TRU yesterday and they definitely didn't have them (not even a space for them). I am in WA, though, we always get stuff last.Quote:

All TRU's got 2 boxes only (even WA based on FB comments) but it appears that staff took most of the R2's before they hit shelves.
Sad when staff are getting on the scalping bandwagon
I hate when retail staff help themselves before stock hits the sales floor.
:mad:
lolololololQuote:

Myer at Marion SA has the 1st wave of the 40th anniversary figures - Luke, Han, Leia, R2 and Obi-Wan for $34.95 each. No sign of the Vader set.
Damnit werribee plaza melb CBD and highpoint stores in vic have almost no regular black series figures...wait thats a lie werribee plaza still has plenty of the snow trooper wave and little sign that that will be flushed even with sales -_-Quote:

For anyone interested zing stores are stocking on the black series 40th anniversary figures, zing werribee plaza had a luke and leia.
Don't bother asking for specific figures as their systems show them all as one barcode, better off asking if they have more up the back but seeing how these guys only got one lot...not much hope, at $35 no harm in asking even if (good chance) its a no, they also have those sdcc black series boba fett+han solo in carbonite parks, same as tru's inflated price
And tru website shows you can still get the darth vader black series pack for $79
$35 is actually an ok price for the 40th Anniversary figures being on par with Myer and TRU.
I was under the assumption that Zing was dearer than the traditional stores.
