Chadstone Myer has twelve of the Black Series Darth Vader 40th Anniversary Legacy Pack at discount for $60ea.
Nice try Myer. Don't see them moving any time soon. TRU had them at 50% off, then 60% off then 70% off before they finally found homes or eBay (:rolleyes:).Quote:

Still very reasonable and well worth the purchase.
Runaway Bay Big W has the new Rio Durant (4 arms) 3.75 Wave for $12 each
for those in the Sydney CBD, David Jones has opened up the "Level 9" Kids Level and they have an Millennium Falcon Interactive Display to play with as well as a wall of Star wars Funko POPs with 3 or 4 Chase Porgs there currently
I read about this on News.com.au this morning. Spose to have a Marvel cityscape and Winnie the Pooh change room tree I think it was.Quote:

Downside is shipping is like US$50. Ridiculous.
Hopefully he'll come down in price as he's made more available. I've heard he's a shared online exclusive (eventually). I just bit the bullet and was able to get one sent loose for cost from someone at The Fwoosh. Still ended up being about $60ish though.
Eastland Myer has a few of the Black Series Darth Vader 40th Anniversary Legacy Pack at discount for $30ea.
Toyworld werribee plaza has the black series legacy line in, boba fett, luke in pilot suit, ig88 and...bosek or whatever his name is?
$40 each, I took one of the first 3 I mentioned
Bossk.Quote:

I agree.
I'd hate to be a Black Series completionist, having to to buy the same figure in 3 or 4 different packages.
These were out at Southland Toyworld too today. When I was there this morning another collector was there picking up Star Wars figures and I overheard him asking for IG-88 in particular.Quote:

Yeah haven't seen it in person yet but there are reviews comparing the two up already. Nicer eyes, but hoping that with it being an old sculpt there are better Lukes to come in terms of likeness.
Will be good to get some of the later waves updated though, as someone who wasn't actually collecting then the first few figures like Pilot Luke did seem to be a better quality than the majority of the line.
And there are those who buy doubles...Quote:

Not a completionist but I do buy more than doubles for troop building.... yeeeeessssssssss....Quote:

TLJ Rose (#55), Poe (#53), Kylo (#45), and Maz (#49)

The Reject Shop restocking 6 inch Black Series figures # 60-65. $12 ea.
Good for army building Jawa.
Means more Han Solo shelf warming.
I think I have about 10 Jawas now thanks to TRS. Small army of Range Troopers happening too.:DQuote:

Couldn't find any of the #60-#65 series of Black Series at The Reject Shop. Stock probably hasn't arrived up here.
Is it more noticeable because the old figures were kept in a sealed container?Quote:

Black Series retail distribution has gone to shit in this country. Myer Sydney City never has any (they should given it's a flagship) nor some other one's I casually frequent. TRU is long gone. It's become a bit of a pain.
I said I wasn't going to pre-order from TLTC anymore and just wait to buy in stock items but some like Dengar and Lando (Skiff) are sold out at the pre-order stage. So I made a pre-order for that wave from Dorkside toys (big US online retailer) and they have cancelled my order because Hasbro wouldn't give them more stock. Now I'm stuck trying to source from a number of channels to get up to date.
Which ones are you after?Quote:
