Recent Acquisitions - The Black Collection 3.75" (2013)

Every time you guys find something at Ross you are rubbing it in haha

we have Marshall’s or Burlington Coat Factory. Best I’ve ever done was 5 royal guards at Burlington for 2.99 each.

That' still a good find IMO. I rarely find anything at Marshall's around here and Burlington has never had anything I wanted to buy (best I've seen there was 6" Jyn and Krennic for like 10 bucks). I've got an ever growing list of discount stores I stop by...as well as an ever expanding radius I am willing to drive to hit as many as possible haha.
Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Burlington, DD's, Five Below, Bealls, Bargain Hunt, Ollie's, Tuesday Morning, Rose's/Maxway, Big Lots. I have never spent more than 6-8 hours driving around though, and can stop anytime!
 
Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader on eBay for only $12! The VC re-release of this guy really helped bring the secondary market prices for the original release down!
 
Ta-da! :D

Just got my second Walmart-exclusive TBS figure, but purchased it from Skyward Fun Supply (great online retailer; check 'em out).

They had one First Order Stormtrooper Executioner left, so I grabbed him. I'd like to think he'd have eventually found his way into TVC, but I doubt it'll happen now. Glad to have gotten this trooper variation while I could. (y)
 
Got Princess Leia Organa (D'Qar) today at @thistoylife, a great little store in Wallingford, CT. Thanks for fellow 'Scummers and CT fellows @GuardsOnCards and @DarkLordDooku for directing me. I'll be visiting often.

I've been looking forward to finding this fig for awhile. Doesn't look like Hasbro will be getting around to this one for TVC anytime soon. It would need the "photo real" treatment first, but we do need an ST General Leia in the collection.
 
Got a couple in the mail today from Walmart third-party sellers. With these, I've gotten most of what I wanted from this line. 🆒

First, here's Han Solo [Starkiller Base]. Still hoping Hasbro will photo-real him and put him on a TVC card someday. 🤞🍀IMG_20210628_183851084~3.jpg
 
I went back and picked up this guy. I can’t stop buying from these comic shops!

What a great one to pick up, too, @Tulgah! Always liked this Mosep Binneed. (y):cool:

I picked up a bunch of those when they were peg warming & on clearance. Good for customs & one of the first SW figures with rocker ankles. The only thing I don’t like is the insert peg style head post.
 
Picked up the AT-ST. Figured out how to get it to stand by putting the ankles at 90 degrees. It's not as screen-accurate but there's no way in hell this thing is going to stand otherwise.

I'm baffled why they gave it articulation to swing the legs out. It literally serves no purpose and just makes it feel more floppy.
 
That's a good price, even for a loose figure - I wonder if they don't command higher prices at certain toy shows, or if interest is dwindling. I've only been to smaller toy shows, and usually the prices are laughable, so I wonder how any of those resellers make any money, but at $5, I'd be buying up figures I don't have as well.
 
Decent price, for some reason I see people asking upwards of $20 for this figure which isn't worth that at all.
 
Th paint on the visor was very good too, as often that release suffered from bad painted visors for some reason. That place usually has good prices and selections. I also bought another 6 inch MIB Old Master Maul for $17 and change, to open so I keep my other one I bought off of gamestop.com in the box.
 
Local toys and collectables store had a MIB FO Stormtrooper for $7.95 , MIB Kylo Ren for 9.95 and a loose in baggy Kylo Ren for 3.95.
 
Nice pics. I strongly preferred the black & red 'box' packaging for these TBS 3.75" figures - rather than the earlier packaging. It's simple but looks nice; it's small & compact; it displays very well; and you don't have to worry about the plastic clamshell falling off the cardback (which sometimes occurred with the earlier carded packaging).
 
Found three nice Black Series figures last Saturday on this year’s Toyploison.
Got all three at the same known seller for a normal fair price.
Among the finds my first Bastilla figure, a nice Death Star Trooper who also fit nice with the Endor bunker personnel, and a good looking Snowtrooper Commander.
