Wow, I am surprised they sold you the carded sample that comes with the set, that is the only piece of the set with the limited edition number on it from what I've heard...that's something I would have a hard time justifying taking off the card. I agree you might want to hold out to see if that figure comes out some other way in the next year or so before freeing him from the packaging.

I found a case of Cobbs on the shelf at Walmart today. Though I am not thrilled with the mark-up, I am resigned to it if I want a character with extra paint apps an complex construction. And I have wanted this character in this configuration for 5 years, so I bit.

That said, I am very glad that there were quite a few on the shelf, and that they have switched to the blister cards, because at these prices the figure needed to be perfect, and I was able to sort through a bunch that were iffy on the face deco to find one I was satisfied with.

Off the top of my head?

Excellent dream manifestation!

Lol. I threw a LOT at the wall in that post. Something had to stick!

I would take four "hallways" a year if they all turn out like the Tatooine Street and Light Cruiser Hall.

I like this but I don’t even want to know how overpriced it is going to be…

Surely it is just a $60 set like all the retail playsets are?

I really hope this is the start of open stock / beyond the 3000, but I am worried this was an allotment set aside for WDW from the beginning. From everything I have seen, there were only 700 set aside for the online sales, and those were staged in two different shipping spots (east coast and west coast) prior to D23, so it makes sense to me that there could have been a whole separate allotment for Orlando.

Entirely selfishly, I will be in Orlando in a couple weeks and if there should be Starspeeders available at that time it will really really tempting. So I am praying to the toy gods tonight!

You could always open a new "free Checking" account at your bank to be your dedicated eBay deposit account, if you don't want your other info out there. Like a burner cellphone, but for banks!

Nice!

Not that I know of. 

I read the forum here in "Recent Posts" mode, so the boundaries between threads are negligible. Still, I try to respond to the correct replies and up until yesterday I have always done a good job!

As far as the Epic Hero line, I bought Luke and a couple Stormtroopers, but I'm not excited about jumping into a Mandalorian line as this seems to be morphing into. Wal Marts seem to stock them as solid cases of individual figures and have been moving product with discounts and clearance prices, to a level I would call it a success so far. Target seems to stock it as assortment cases that are usually wiped out on any given day. The deluxe size seems to move slower. The line is probably not for me, I would be more plugged in to OT stuff.

Ha! Yes! Now I'm just derailing all the threads!
