I think most of us would agree that hunting for TVC at retail is almost always a complete waste of time and has been for quite a while. There are of course ways to somewhat easily acquire new figures online however, or even through online marketplaces like Mercari (which I am now addicted to).
Today, I had an unexpected surprise by scoring a trio of TVC Shadow Stormtroopers at a local collector shop basically for standard retail… sure the figure is just a repaint, but it’s better than staring at empty pegs. It actually made my day to upgrade my Shadow Stormtroopers finally, and the cardback looks awesome too.
That being said, what are your most recent acquisitions?
