In reply to CT-7567. Yes! I did get Leia and Obi-Wan. But then I never saw those in the Black Series boxes, so I needed them one way or another. It's funny, (or sad?) I was just about to make the same comment, that Hasbro has made the decision for me on what I will or will not collect. I was seriously considering collecting a full set of 12 to keep carded and then also buy duplicates to open of any that I didn't already have in TBS packaging. Well now it looks like that idea has been blown out of the water! No way I can own a full set unless I'm willing to pay scalper prices.

In reply to Bombadgungan. Did you get Leia and Obi-Wan? I couldn't decide if I wanted to repurchase the five figures i already have in the boxes. Those would be Luke, Han, Artoo, Stormtrooper and Chewie. I guess that decision has been made for me. I never saw Han or Artoo. I passed on Luke a few times, which is a good thing I guess because there's no point in getting only a couple of the ones I already have. These distribution issues are really good getting out of control. I don't go to GameStop either. Even when I was a gamer I mostly got my games at Best Buy anyway. I'm not a fan of the idea of having to go to GameStop for figures.

In reply to Bombadgungan. I think it was that one that just crashed. ( I wondered the same thing )

I’m okay with this- though I’m probably a bit biased because I have the entire series including Wave 2, R5 and X-Wing Luke.

So glad I managed to get them at retail. All I need now is one more Vader Legacy pack to have 3 complete sets w/ R5.

RIDICULOUS! Were these the most limited production Hasbro Star Wars items of all time or did a cargo ship go down in the Pacific? Where is all the product? I’ve seen exactly 2 Leias at Target, 2 Obi-Wans at TRU and exactly zero of anything at Walmart* (*aside from Darth Vader Early Bird packs). Sure, GameStops are widely reported to have received shippers, but that is not a store I generally have any reason to be at. In retrospect, I guess I should have. If only I would have know that these would not be placed at big box retail.

Well these never even showed up here, outside of the solid case of Leia at Target, and I guess they never will.

In reply to Jesus's Best Friend Floyd. Ah, yes. Those are amazing. If only I wasn't allergic to metal.

In reply to LaurenceQuint. Surely you missed those DieCast figures that look like gumball machine prizes.

In reply to Zachary Hering. I did get R2 from an Amazon order right when they were announced. But he came crushed (and it was only for the card, as I have the first boxed r2 loose). Haven't seen it in store OR online for an active preorder (except the recent EE Oct order) since.
