Thanks for the link! Ordered the Imp Guard.

For those that don't go to the main page, there's a planned outage for Rebelscum later this afternoon.

 

[Ares_X]

Entertainment Earth has Lando Calrissian, Imperial Royal Guard and Tusken Raider for June pre-order. $21.99 each.

 

[Ares_X]

According to Yodasnews.com, the Pop! Seventh Sister and Inquisitor were back in stock at some point since yesterday. They're out now, but maybe there's still hope for me to get the Inquisitor after all.

Now if they'd just offer up Rey on her speeder.

On this week's The Star Wars Show, they show a maquette of a concept for Maz that looks very similar to what ended up being Snoke.

 

[Ares_X]

I received my Galen Erso yesterday, but didn't check the mail box until today. He's okay. Nothing thrilling. His uniform seems a bit off in color to me, but he'll do.

Not seeing the Inquistor available.

 

[Desert_Trooper]

The POP! Inquisitor was briefly available on Walmart.com. I even put it in my cart, but by checkout time The Inquisitor was out of stock.

I'm lucky to already have the Inquisitor but I've not been happy at how difficult it has been to get all the various store exclusive Star Wars POPs! with the exception of Hot Topic.

 

[Desert_Trooper]

Not sure if it's been mentioned here, so sorry if I'm posting old news, but I stumbled upon the next wave(?) of TBS3 while surfing EBAY yesterday. They include Ponda Baba, Sandtrooper, Tusken Raider and Proto Boba Fett; I believe they're all reissues but will still be nice to pick up.

 

[Gsr0jedi]

I was just able to order both the seventh sister and the Inquisitor pops fro walMart

 

[Ares_X]

I missed the Pop! Inquisitor again. Been busy all day adding legs to my Sandtrooper. I had to remove the old stumps of legs and reposition them and then pad them. It's a lot of trial an error just like the arms.

Here it is assembled and with armor. I need to mess with the left boot because it's getting all wrinkled up. The top of the boot is wider than the bottom of the calf armor, so it doesn't tuck in well.

Keeps getting better with every update!

Thanks! I worked on the backpack a little the other day, but today I wanted to give him some legs. I need to start on his rifle too. I'm excited about that one.

 

[Ares_X]

So after looking over my Sandtrooper since yesterday evening, I have decided he needs more grime on his boots. The bottom of the calf armor is heavily weathered, but the tops of the boots are not and that doesn't make sense, so I will need to do that soon.

Today I am super itchy from dealing with cutting the fiberglass mannequin open.

He looks pretty cool holding my Mando rifle and standing next to my Stormtrooper. I can't wait until I get the base made for them. Originally it was going to be two separate bases, but I decided to make a combined base with different textures for both. That could all still change though.

Sandy is looking great!

I hate that these are SDCC exclusives. Hopefully they're all shared with another source. The Funko blog does have this note:

Most of our SDCC exclusives will be shared! Details to be announced the week of SDCC.

 

[Ares_X]

They better be available elsewhere. I want that TANK DRIVER!!!

I want all of them, but definitely want the Tank Driver. I still never got Rey on speeder or Holo Qui-Gon.

 

[Ares_X]

The Inquisitor was back up on Walmart.com, but did not have store pick-up, so I ordered some household things that I would buy anyway to get free shipping.

 

[Kielbassa]

Walgreens Commander Cody Pop!

I really want this one.

I like it!

Kielbassa- Did you not order the Raddus yet? It's on Amazon for $11.86 Prime.

Thanks, but i got Raddus from EE. I ordered it with Sefla and Galen, but it shipped separately.

Droids Smuggler's Bounty Pop! reveal:

  Spoiler:  

A surprising but neat choice.

 

[Ares_X]

Oh! It's still in your WANTS list. That's why I asked.

Yeah, but definitely not my first choice (or second or third).

 

[Slave_1]

Excited for the new Pops they look really good.

Don't see anything under your spoiler tag. Can you post the info again. Thanks.

 

[Ares_X]

It's there. It's a picture of a Pop! figure.

 

[bobafett1701]

It's there. It's a picture of a Pop! figure.

Really weird. Nothing comes up when I do it. I found the picture on Funko's site, not my favorite choice for a droid.

 

[Ares_X]

My Pop! Inquisitor shipped and should be here tomorrow.

 

[Kielbassa]

Oh! It's still in your WANTS list. That's why I asked.

So it was. Updated my sig.

Oddly, the image shows up on my desktop, but not on my iPhone.

 

[Ares_X]

This is frickin' AWESOME!!!

And it was probably a one to two day project, but made his daughter's day as she was probably the envy of every kid in class.

 

[Ares_X]

72 more Sears and Kmart stores closing. One in Bullhead City. Hopefully Hasbro will stop giving Kmart exclusives since they have no stores to sell them in.

 

[Ares_X]

I forgot to mention that there's one less BS3 Cassian on the pegs. Monday night I was packaging up some of my figures and I went to bend the leg on Cassian and it snapped in half. Yesterday I was at San Tan Walmart and they had them there for the $5.86 price, so I picked up another one. The sucky part is I have so many duplicates of Cassian already.

 

[Kielbassa]

I keep telling myself I'm done with the BS6 line, but I cracked when the new wave was available on Amazon last Friday. I received QGJ, Lando and ERG a couple days ago with free Prime shipping.
