Got my Princess Leia Organa (Yavin 4) POTF2 (50th Lucasfilm) figure from Hasbro Pulse today.

How are the paint apps? Any differences from the other releases? He looks about the same
Did you just order those three?
I ordered Boba Fett from then as soon as they went up, and I haven't gotten a shipment email yet.
Boo.

Same but I expected as much lol.
I ordered these three on 11/24, after I heard they had some cases already on the way to them.
I have heard that order fulfillment at Dorkside and other places is not necessarily in the same order as pre-orders are placed. It is much more random from what I've heard. I've definitely been in the situation where I preordered immediately and seemed to be the last to get things.
So Dorkside is already shipping but Amazon has somehow never seen this wave, not even for preorder. Peculiar.
Minty fresh arrival from Amazon…they even used a box!
At last, my order from german ZAVVI ( dispatched from UK, custom cleared in NL ... all together 4 weeks on travel ) showed up.
Final delivery for 21 just dropped in
Cal Kestis Dlx via local online fleamarket app. wasn't that high on my list, but due the Bogling and the Holocron the asked price was to good to resist
The figure might end up as a Rebel/Resistance techican somewher in the background of my shelves
... and a bunch of empty boxes I am still missing through a FBgroup.
Happy New Collecting Year 2022 everyone

The other day I came across Aurra Sing and Q9-0 at Walmart. I hadn't seen anything decent at any retail store in a long time. I was originally going to pass because I'm trying to cut down on 6" figures. But, Clone Wars is something I like to focus on for collecting and Q9-0 is just too cool of a figure. 
Finally cracked open my new wave of figures from Dorkside, and they look amazing. Fortunately nothing’s wrong looking about Bill Burr’s face, can’t say the same about Dr. Evazan though! Bib Fortuna is a brick à la Moloch, and I think he’s a bit sick too—a little too blue in the face!
Interestingly, Dorkside sent the wave totally anonymized. No mention of the company on the return label, no shipping tape with their logos everywhere. I wonder if they’ve heard from customers falling victim to porch pirates.

Last arrivals for 2021. Spiderman and a clone. Hmmm, someone could write a story about such a concept, maybe even a saga! A clone saga!!! Oh wait....
I can't understand how Dorkside gets cases before Entertainment Earth. Did they make a higher bid on the limited available inventory from the shipping crates? LOL
I can’t speak into specifics at all but anecdotally this is the second time I’ve gotten a full case assortment from them before it’s been widely available. The owner of Dorkside said that it’s basically luck of the draw from Hasbro on the Discord chat with Star Wars Collecting though. I highly doubt they are bidding for first service from Hasbro when margins aren’t huge to begin with.

Yeah it’s all luck. I’ve gotten full cases from both EE and Dorkside before they showed up elsewhere. What I have noticed is they both tend to pump out full cases before they both start shipping individual figures
Quite a haul indeed!
Found these two loose jokers by chance late last night on local auction site, cheap enough they are the perfect army builders.
Someone was very good this year obviously
Found another Aurra Sing to open up.
This is one very fine action figure!

Updated Baze Malbus arrived from Amazon yesterday.
And I just got a delay notification for this figure from Amazon
This makes no sense. Mine was canceled due to lack of availability.
WTF
First delivery for 2022 
, from SAF, great service as always

So my Artillery Trooper arrived from Amazon Germany! Good job I'm an out of box collector, as just slapping a shipping label on the figure's box is some level of BS!
Geez mate, opener or not you still want the box. That is some effing lazy BS.
Oh, for Sure I wanted the box. Even as an out of box collector, the mural boxes have a use due to the picture on the side, which can be used in many types of collection displays. Sadly the box was pretty much just held together by the postage sticker
I would contact Amazon and let them know you're very unsatisfied. They may offer a partial refundOh, for Sure I wanted the box.

I left a negative review on how they are posting this figure out. Problem is, this figure was a nightmare to actually get, so really don't want the hassle and risk of trying for a replacement.

All my opened boxes - disassembled (I even remove the tape) and straight to recycling. I really have no room for those.

Wow!!! I thought then just throwing collectibles in envelopes was bad enough, but this is a new low.
Sell it as a rare variant. The Amazon Exclusive Peek-a-Boo Trooper
