    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.

    Yes it is. Fortunately I'm not collecting all the exclusives, that would be even worse. Well I ordered the 70-77 wave from someone in the US on eBay. Can only hope they arrive in nice condition.

    ^ You'd certainly hope the Seller packs well given the pretty penny to ship from the US.

    ^ They have 100% feedback on ~2,000 reviews and I requested extra care in shipping given the distance it will travel. That's about all I can do and just hope for the best.

    Damn... Black Series 6” Rose and Maz are clogging up shelf space at my local Toyworld store.

    It's worth keeping an eye on Amazon US, they can have good deals.
