Star Wars toys & merchandise sighting

[philby]

I'm after an OT sandtrooper, I'd like an orange one and a black one. Or potentially 2 black ones if they're essentially the same and I might paint it. I never noticed before but some of them say 'star wals' on the box so that's an indicator. While browsing amazon for sandtroopers with the 'prime' option there were a few wanting $99. Even when you choose a seller that says international shipping sometimes they still don't.

loads of new Black Series figures in Melbourne CBD Myer yesterday. Snowtrooper, Tatooine Luke Skywalker, Ashoka Tano, Kanan Jarrus, as well as Jango Fett, Force Awakens Han Solo and the ubiquitous Flametrooper.

The ones on eBay from China are gonna be factory knock offs. So they're legit in a sense that it's pretty much the same figure but it's been made by factory workers to sell as bootleg merchandise rather. As far as I know, the Sandtroopers are the same as any sold by Hasbro. People have reported there is a "bow leg" issue. But I've never bought a Sandtrooper via this method so I can't confirm what quality you'll get it.

Some older Black Series 6" figures have come in to The Reject Shop at $20 or even $10 on clearance. Obi Wan, Bespin Luke, Han Solo and stormtroopers. I grabbed a Luke and a Han but haven't seen any stormtroopers.

It's hit & miss with The Reject Shop. There doesn't seem to be any consistent stock across the stores nationwide, let alone statewide.

Stock's slowly filtering through...
Just saw some in retail but gone within a day.

The Starkiller base Rey has been found at a Big W for $39.

The real annoying part is people flooding eBay with them. 99% of them priced above RRP, even Obi Wan.
