Hasbro is pissing me off. Their “for the fans” claim or whatever is bull, they refuse to acknowledge any and all complaints and outcry from fans. They made enough money last year to be able to actually make the figures people want, and even when they do it’s bad reuse and inaccurate.
This is why my Star Wars collecting is mostly relegated to going on fan sites/ebay/Facebook groups and buying older figures. Hasbro just doesn't care about Star Wars like they used to
I just get my SW toys second hand, I don't buy scalper prices though I got some buds that are nice enough to offer a really decent price on loose figures(great for me as a loose collector)
Amen about the Walmart rant. There wasn't a Toys R Us that was within a reasonable driving distance when I was growing up, so our alternatives would be Walmart, Target, Kmart, hell used to be a KB Toys when I was very little, but that shut down long long ago. Walmart, Target, they used to have so much stuff. The toy aisle was packed with so much stuff, always something to buy, it was like heaven when I was given a store gift card or spending money. I go to my local Walmart and Target now, and the shelves are bare, and always behind on waves. I see Star Wars is practically non-existent, and Transformers is even worse. Nothing but toys for like, 5 year olds, but little to nothing for older kids/grown up fans. And Mega Construx barely has a section anymore. And I know the pandemic hasn't made things any better, so I pretty much do 100% of my collector shopping online, unless I happen to get lucky here and there in stores, but I'm better off winning the lottery by comparison.
Honestly I connect so many things Star Wars Transformers Mega construx some WWE action figures and Hot Wheels but every toy or Community has a problem because you can never find anything that you want or need don't get me started on the mega construx those are hard to find out Walmart you can only find them at Amazon or Target
I remember growing up in 90s lots of Star Wars toys and wrestling figures in 2000s. I never saw grogu in a store except stuffed toy and those little hard toys like mini pop figures. I’ve seen all the exclusives on other websites then they are supposedly exclusive to.
I also hope they rerelease more fan favorites in the vintage collection like commander Cody or captain Fordo. Me being the young kid I was thought I could find fordo in store but he was never on the pegs in my area
I started getting action figures in like 2017-2018ish it's always sad whenever someone says what it was like in like 2010 and how nice it was:( I also like grogu less after all the times I've seen him in stores lol.
I had to get this pack and the Incinerator Trooper from Mercari for about $24 each. The only store near me that has good things regularly is Meijer, but that's normally just good transformers
It's kinda funny how you talked about the boy isle being empty because when me and my sister go to walmart she can never decide on what to buy and it takes her forever but for me it's like ah no star wars stuff cool and then I leave
Well said love the rant jc2224 , I barely found beskar mando at a random Best Buy with a messed up helmet and thank god I found the sharpie solution. And yes my local Walmart only has black series jar jar they don’t even have vintage collection at all just the kids toys
I totally agree ...however kids play more digitally unfortunately...and I guess we are seeing that ...the exclusive thing is so wrong ...I would be just fine with no exclusives ....and toys the way they were in the 70’s ....I can remember seeing pegs and pegs of stuff ...we are at the point where we will be printing our own stuff and Hasbro will just tank...it will kinda be like Gi. joe in the 70’s... gone and only secondary produced items...good video love them although I no longer collect the 3 3/4 figures because of hasbro and exclusives....
Same problem of distribution in Europe. 2 years after nothing change. I collect marvel retro 375. In our store you have all same 3/4 figures. I never saw wave 5 in France. And now the line is resting 😢
It's 2022 and this is still a problem. I'm caught between Black Series and TVC and I get completely screwed over as a collector on both fronts. I'm literally debating on whether to continue my collection and which scale to go with because this is such a problem.
this was supposed to be in stock in Asda in the uk, I went to 3 asda stores and they had next to nothing. I had to resort to a retro collection Grogu as a stand in to go with my Mando. hasbro's distribution is dire.
Well,people don't realize that hasbro creates the false demand with their lack of distribution? And collectors keep falling for it....until they can't sell their items anymore....why McFarlane toys are always in stock in piles of items? Well because they don't work on exclusives or shit like that...great video,keep the great work!
Amazon never shipped my Ratchet/Lifeline exclusive set. Now the scalpers are charging over $200. They say I have a pre-order guarantee but it was supposed to ship on December on 1st. That's the set I wanted the most. I'm beyond pissed.
You’re right I completely dropped out of Gijoe because I couldn’t find any except for a duke scarlet and roadblock but since I didn’t find the others I ended opting out of of the whole lineup What’s the point if I couldn’t fill the lineup
I definitely agree it's crazy how you can't find anything at all especially with Star wars and Marvel I really wanna start collecting Star wars and Marvel agian but I haven't since the figures I want I really can't find anywhere in the stores and have to order it online for crazy prices!! I definitely remember the good old days when you can find the figure you want for only 10 bucks
What also sucks that you can’t find the old stuff either.The new stuff is hard to find and the old stuff is expensive or you just aren’t going to find it.
My black series grogu had 2 diff colors on his outfit.. Also.the din from can't recall morak maybe with migs face sculpt looks better .. Is ur mando/grogu the maldo krees one?
I completely agree with everything you said here. I haven’t been able to get countless Walmart exclusive figures that I want desperately. I wanted the black series jedi Knight Luke BAD but I couldn’t find any, and had to turn to eBay, much like you with this Mando. But I wanted this Mando, I wanted the season 7 clone wars black series, and even standard releases were HARD to find. I never once found Fives on shelves. It’s really unfortunate the state of Star Wars figures and figures in general have fallen to this level
I only got 2 of these. If you go on Ebay or Amazon, scalpers are charging over double for these. How did these scalpers get all of these deluxe figures?
Hopefully you saw this action figure at the stores at Walmart one I regret not buying it but I haven't seen it since and honestly Walmart has become the most terrible place to shop for anything action figures for anything that's totally related because they never have anything and they always run out of stuff it was just empty
Worst exclusive in recent years was the black series clone wars line never was in stock and when I saw it in stock at my local store I couldn’t even order for pickup because it was on one of the trucks in the back
This figure is really cool, but I've basically given up on trying to find it. Getting Exclusives from Walmart in Canada is like trying to find the Ark of the Covenant. I had to get the Marvel Legends movie Cable off Ebay, I just gave up trying to get that Clone Wars Black Series wave, and I doubt I'll get this one either. I don't mind when repaints or variants get the exclusive treatment, but super popular main characters? Army builders? Come on.
Yeah, Walmart screwed is on this and the Incinerator Trooper. Had to jump through many hoops to get my figures after my preorders got canceled. I heard a rumor that a few shipping containers full of these are at the bottom of the ocean. Probably leading to scarcity of them, but the whole exclusive figure at retail is BS
Bruh, the easiest way I got TVC figures was at fuqing Walt Disney World and I really regret not getting any Rise of Skywalker figures when I was there. I don't even see 5 POA on shelves anymore. I agree with you about missing the 2010s when you can just walk in to your favorite Target and pick up whatever clone trooper figure you want
I found this at Walmart today! Mind blown. Ran up for $24.99 though. Bought it anyways. I passed on the single release that I found the day before Christmas, oddly enough. .... ..
Hasbro hasn't done a great job with supply since the Clone Wars series of figures....all I see in my city are empty shelves at stores where star wars figures should be....
I really wanna know why hasbro can’t seem to have enough product to go around? There’s never any in the stores and hasbro pulse is always sold out. Even figures that have already been released sell out and you have to wait months for them to come in. I’m sure Disney is behind the figures not being sold in masses like they used to.
At least you guys get exclusives here in Australia its so hard to get star wars figure here. So the fact that hasbro doesnt ship walmart exclusives here is also ridiculous.
Hahaha! I have been experiencing the same issue with Target as well!! Hahaha!! The action figure aisle is like a ghost town wayyy too often!! Hahaha! i remember having better fortune at Toys r Us and K-bee!! Hahaha!! Ebay trumps Amazon for me though!! Blessings!! :)
I remember back a year or so ago when Netflix Soundwave came out… I went on Walmart and was going to buy the set for $40- the retail US price. But it’s sold out. So I hit “remind me when it gets restocked”. Almost two weeks goes by and I get no email. I look on my email and see that I got one… A WEEK EARLIER, AND WASNT NOTIFIED! And guess what… ITS OUT OF STOCK AGAIN! Now, the cheapest Netflix Soundwave you can find will be at least $80. I’ve heard some bad things about the figure, but I don’t care! I want my toy! Someday, I’ll get one, and it will be glorious, but today is not that day. Walmart, I hate you.
I was able to order this in the first 5 mins I suppose to actually get the Mando/Grogo combo. Grogo's arm does falloff super easy, and it's tiny!!!! Thank goodness I found it before it got vacuumed! The different Hasbro exclusives and limited numbers are beyond frustrating. And the Wal Mart flamethrower trooper... WTF? You could only order it directly through Walfart at $34?! Then it was sold out... Sigh...
Oh you brought up the Incinerator and Walmart LMAO! Yah, and don't get me started on the Joe line...You wouldn't think preorders would sell out? Oh more than 10k people want it...make more? How simple and logical is that and it saves them money!!! More quantity always equals less cost.
I’m enjoying online shopping & buying super 7 products (bad ass ultimate line). I boycott Walmart. Ever since ahsoka. From clone wars. & her loyalists exclusive. I’m handicap & my visits to Walmart are 1 a month. But my new buying habit broke me off hasbro & introduced me to super 7. I just bought a vehicle. Thundercats tank. Awesome piece. & I got half the tmnt wave. I wanted din bad also. I’ll hold out. Thanks
Transformers collector here. Hasbro can't get any of their product into stores. Star Wars, Transformers, Marvel Legends. And GI Joe is the worst. Hasbro is totally feeding the scalpers. I'm starting to think they're doing it on purpose but I can't figure out why. What do they gain?
I found ER soundwave the other day And I haven’t opened him because I know how hard he is to find Walmart should not have exclusives till they get their stuff together
Here we are July 23 and Walmart still blows donkey cawk. They get one box of a new wave and that's it. Nothing absolutely nothing. Their very own exclusives should jam a shelf to get foot traffic and basic shopping. Nothing. And man I forgot how whininie this vid was, lmfao 🤣
@@Jcc2224 Yeah, but that's usually the exception rather than the rule. For example everyone I knew lost their minds when we got the SS86 Hot Rod ahead of other places and I did feel kinda like a king owning him for that short window of time - but we also ended up just not getting the Impactor and Mirage wave from Siege. G.I. Joe Classified just doesn't get stocked here as well... like, it doesn't get stocked anywhere other than a very specific chain of toy shops that have just shuttered a few more of their locations. Bleh. At least we got some of the Netflix transformers and those Headmasters.
I pre ordered two and one got canceled honestly first time ordering from Walmart hopefully if they Ever make darth maul loyalist it dosent come from Walmart
@@Endergaming-js7ro hasbro needs to listen to the fanbase after all the customers have the wallets,I heard people were mad when they said particular figures were exclusives this year on there live reveal ,I have friends who shop in person and they say nearly all the aisles of Star Wars black series and vintage are empty these practices will be the downfall one day I just hope to get my new VTC darth maul TCW around September and hopefully they bring some death watch loyalist in 3.75 soon
As much as I hate to say it, I don't think Hasbro will ever get better with this. I only see Star Wars figures going downhill in terms of quality, production, and distribution. I'm sure we'll continue to get Black Series figures as time goes on, but most will only be obtainable Online. Be it from Online Retailers, or..and I hate to say it, but..scalper prices. It's a sad, sad world we live in as Collectors, especially for those of us that have been collecting since we were kids. I don't think we'll ever get more 3.75" inch figures (WITH articulation) than we're getting now. Same can be said for vehicles, or any other interesting products. I'm not trying to sound so pessimistic, but Hasbro is a friggen mess, and has not gotten any better. I've been waiting years for it to happen, but let's be real, Hasbro Star Wars has been going downhill since like 2013. There are figures I STILL have never seen in stores, and they've been "out" for months. Figures that are STILL hard to get Online. I've resorted to scalper prices, and some I've paid WAY too much for, and I hate it. I know I could easily stop and "wait" for the figures; but there hasn't been ONE figure I've paid scalper prices for that ended up selling everywhere in stores/online. I've truly considered giving up on collecting, and it's becoming more and more likely to happen for me. I work at Walmart, I unload thetrucks, and I still rarely see new figures. The times I do? I am always half-tempted to pull them aside and sell them to people myself at retail cost. (That's very illegal for me to do, unless of course I buy the entire box lmao)
I had all my pre orders canceled, second orders canceled. Had to buy on secondary market for a ton. I can't even get one for my 5 yr old son who loves star wars. Wot a fuqin fuq up! PS made it up by giving him my grievous.
Target is far worse then Walmart, I’ve gotten every release from Walmart. Target is the worse especially with Joe’s, those are impossible to buy cause even when they resolve online the bots buy them before you can check out. Just a joke. Walmart the key is to order a few orders and then cancel the others once you get a tracking number in the first order.
Man they both suck. Target doesn't stock and their site gets raped by bots, and Walmart doesn't stock and they cancel orders/gouge prices. I personally think Walmart is worse cuz cancelling orders and gouging prices is extremely scummy business practice, Target is just incompetent.
I bit the bullet too and bought it and a Flame Trooper on eBay (both slightly cheaper due to them having massively dented cards-- aka Walmart being Walmart). Also went your route saw the card from other reviewers. I'm opening them up and displaying them.
But your right. A friend had a lot of G.I. Joe Classified (first wave, Red Ninja, and CC), buuuuuuut- after knowing they couldn't ever get a complete collection (thanks Cobra Island), he put them all up on eBay. Just utterly frustrated that he couldn't complete the set so he's like, "FUCK IT! I'm going back to retro." Which he's enjoying slightly more since it's been easier to obtain.
I honestly don't like how they focus on making toys for little kids the target little kids still they don't care about the collector do they make random things that nobody wants to buy and do their sit there on the shelves and they stay there and nobody buys them at all just because they're not worth it and if you put the price on it and makes it even worse to be for the buy stuff
I understand being mad at Hasbro and Walmart, but dude you literally said that you pre ordered two just to keep one in the box......what's the point of that? there's people out there that actually want to play with the figure but no people out there get the same excitement looking at a box then playing with a figure. might as well print out a picture and look at it instead, it'll actually help collectors order figures
And let me ask... what's the point of judging someone for why they buy something? Vintage Collection figures especially are very high quality collectors items, both in and out of the box. They look amazing in the package and it's nice to have a few like that for select figures.
@@Jcc2224 i mean its the internet people can criticize you, I think it's dumb to complain about not enough figures but then try to pre order two just to keep one in a box. Do you collect figures or boxes? just be honest lmao. But whatever helps you sleep at night
I'm generally not a MOC collector, but select figures, very few, I want to keep in the package. There's a variety of reasons, for older figures I enjoy seeing the package that I saw in stores, it brings me back. For the Vintage Collection boxes, they're very nice looking and I enjoy having a select few on the card. Your logic makes no sense man. There should be enough of something for everyone to get as many as they want of it, their reason or what they do with it is irrelevant.
Hasbro is pissing me off. Their “for the fans” claim or whatever is bull, they refuse to acknowledge any and all complaints and outcry from fans. They made enough money last year to be able to actually make the figures people want, and even when they do it’s bad reuse and inaccurate.
They should just offer exclusives from Haslab on line. We're in a pandemic, we should have healthy choices! Rt?
Also their distribution to stores is absolute garbage, I can’t find the six inch kamino shock or any of the clones from the six inch black series.
Dude I remember buying a lot of figures in 2010 and playing with them and now I can’t do that cuz the stores can’t get their thing’s right
The Beskar slab actually fits into the armorers tongs
Does greef carga have a pocket on his shirt for one?
Used to be called “last wave syndrome”
Now it’s just “syndrome”
"I am Syndrome! Your nemesis and th-..!" - The Incredibles
Yeah this isn’t last wave syndrome at all…
This is why my Star Wars collecting is mostly relegated to going on fan sites/ebay/Facebook groups and buying older figures. Hasbro just doesn't care about Star Wars like they used to
Why would they? They know Disney killed Star Wars. Star Wars is dead!
@@n7bansheebait299 this is one of those moments where people dont think about what they say before they say it
I never thought the day would come where there is more transformers on the shelves than Star wars.
I just get my SW toys second hand, I don't buy scalper prices though I got some buds that are nice enough to offer a really decent price on loose figures(great for me as a loose collector)
Not to mention they are doing this to main characters and army builders, I remember when most (not all exclusive) where either obscure or fun repaints
I gave up on army builders. As soon as they are realeased they are 4 times the price
Tell me why the hell does frikin Best Buy have the best selection and the only place that ever has TVC figures.
I have no idea
It’s almost like Hasbro is begging for KOs

Yea my walmart hasent had figures in stock for 7 months they disappear milliseconds after they are restocked
Yo love the pfp. Im a big fan of 9.
Honestly I connect so many things Star Wars Transformers Mega construx some WWE action figures and Hot Wheels but every toy or Community has a problem because you can never find anything that you want or need don't get me started on the mega construx those are hard to find out Walmart you can only find them at Amazon or Target
When I go to the store is all see toys for kids just random toys and nobody wants to guy at alll
I remember growing up in 90s lots of Star Wars toys and wrestling figures in 2000s. I never saw grogu in a store except stuffed toy and those little hard toys like mini pop figures. I’ve seen all the exclusives on other websites then they are supposedly exclusive to.

Same after seeing grogu everywhere but no tvc and black series I kinda really hate him
Man, that Mando really likes his ice cream maker.
I had to get this pack and the Incinerator Trooper from Mercari for about $24 each. The only store near me that has good things regularly is Meijer, but that's normally just good transformers
when are you reviewing the kingdom optimus primal? i just got him this week and ohhhhh boi is he fantastic

Interesting...
Ok i thought my neighborhood was full of scalpers, but other people seem to be having the same problem
Me crying in Netflix Soundwave ravage and laserbeak
Even as a black series collector myself I will 100% agree that the vintage collection Din Djarin has a better unhelmeted head.
Excellent rant!!! Agree with everything you saiid
I totally agree ...however kids play more digitally unfortunately...and I guess we are seeing that ...the exclusive thing is so wrong ...I would be just fine with no exclusives ....and toys the way they were in the 70’s ....I can remember seeing pegs and pegs of stuff ...we are at the point where we will be printing our own stuff and Hasbro will just tank...it will kinda be like Gi. joe in the 70’s... gone and only secondary produced items...good video love them although I no longer collect the 3 3/4 figures because of hasbro and exclusives....
I've haven't seen any vintage figures at my walmart in the last 5 months could be longer I think... pretty sad
Hay we open our cards the same way! I like it because it keeps the card nice
Thanks for the sharpie advice. I wanted to use warhammer paints. :)
Same problem of distribution in Europe. 2 years after nothing change. I collect marvel retro 375. In our store you have all same 3/4 figures. I never saw wave 5 in France. And now the line is resting 😢

I started collecting LEGO simply because they actually put figures out.
WE STILL HAVEN’T GOTTEN THE MAIN OR SECONDARY CHARACTERS FROM EPISODE 9.
Nobody wants Ep IX figs. They wouldn’t even recoup the cost of the toolings
this was supposed to be in stock in Asda in the uk, I went to 3 asda stores and they had next to nothing.
I had to resort to a retro collection Grogu as a stand in to go with my Mando.

Yes that camtono looks perfect with episode 1 Din Djarin.
Well,people don't realize that hasbro creates the false demand with their lack of distribution?

I heard a rumor that a few shipping containers full of these are at the bottom of the ocean. Probably leading to scarcity of them, but the whole exclusive figure at retail is BS
More than Pedro Pascal the face of that figure looks more like Evo Morales (the ex-president of Bolivia )
Bruh, the easiest way I got TVC figures was at fuqing Walt Disney World and I really regret not getting any Rise of Skywalker figures when I was there.
I don't even see 5 POA on shelves anymore.

and that is why Final Faction and Action Force are the new face of action figures
Hahaha! I have been experiencing the same issue with Target as well!! Hahaha!! The action figure aisle is like a ghost town wayyy too often!! Hahaha! i remember having better fortune at Toys r Us and K-bee!! Hahaha!! Ebay trumps Amazon for me though!! Blessings!! :)
I’ve reached out to Hasbro as well and got the same B.S.
I am so miffed that this figure is so difficult to find and its unlikly that Ill find them on retail.One way or another I will get this.
I remember back a year or so ago when Netflix Soundwave came out… I went on Walmart and was going to buy the set for $40- the retail US price. But it’s sold out. So I hit “remind me when it gets restocked”. Almost two weeks goes by and I get no email. I look on my email and see that I got one… A WEEK EARLIER, AND WASNT NOTIFIED!

Someday, I’ll get one, and it will be glorious, but today is not that day.
Walmart, I hate you.
Bro I would say I get 75% from eBay where I live! My targets and Walmarts around me never even have peg wormers
I was lucky enough to get my original pre order but was outraged when other people had theirs cancelled without waiting for restock
You know Hasbro and Walmart done goofed with this set when the SDCC 501st ARC Troopers set was easier to get.
The problem is scalpers buying 20 to 30 figures and selling them on ebay the next day for 3 times the price.
It’s amazing that Walmart is sooooo bad! How do they get this so wrong?? I had every preorder from Walmart canceled, target as well
I was able to order this in the first 5 mins I suppose to actually get the Mando/Grogo combo.
Grogo's arm does falloff super easy, and it's tiny!!!! Thank goodness I found it before it got vacuumed!
The different Hasbro exclusives and limited numbers are beyond frustrating.
And the Wal Mart flamethrower trooper... WTF? You could only order it directly through Walfart at $34?! Then it was sold out...
Sigh...
Oh you brought up the Incinerator and Walmart LMAO! Yah, and don't get me started on the Joe line...You wouldn't think preorders would sell out? Oh more than 10k people want it...make more? How simple and logical is that and it saves them money!!! More quantity always equals less cost.
I’m enjoying online shopping & buying super 7 products (bad ass ultimate line). I boycott Walmart. Ever since ahsoka. From clone wars. & her loyalists exclusive.

Yo my boy mando lookin thicc
Changed it doesn’t even come remotely close!
They STILL HAVEN’T SHIPPED MINE >:c
Transformers collector here. Hasbro can't get any of their product into stores. Star Wars, Transformers, Marvel Legends. And GI Joe is the worst. Hasbro is totally feeding the scalpers. I'm starting to think they're doing it on purpose but I can't figure out why. What do they gain?
They cannot keep the action figures in because they only get 1 case per store & then never restock. 1 case 1 time is the new normal.
Hot glue is a great thing, and poster putty
I found ER soundwave the other day
And I haven’t opened him because I know how hard he is to find Walmart should not have exclusives till they get their stuff together
I got all three on Amazon.
Here we are July 23 and Walmart still blows donkey cawk. They get one box of a new wave and that's it. Nothing absolutely nothing. Their very own exclusives should jam a shelf to get foot traffic and basic shopping. Nothing.
And man I forgot how whininie this vid was, lmfao 🤣
This guy is rare, because of stinky poopoo Walmart.
You guys finally know the feeling that Australians get, except you guys actually get a sliver of a chance to buy the exclusives. :(
I dunno man, I've seen some Aussie friends of mine get new figures weeks or months ahead of any hint of the US getting them.
@@Jcc2224 Yeah, but that's usually the exception rather than the rule.
For example everyone I knew lost their minds when we got the SS86 Hot Rod ahead of other places and I did feel kinda like a king owning him for that short window of time - but we also ended up just not getting the Impactor and Mirage wave from Siege. G.I. Joe Classified just doesn't get stocked here as well... like, it doesn't get stocked anywhere other than a very specific chain of toy shops that have just shuttered a few more of their locations. Bleh. At least we got some of the Netflix transformers and those Headmasters.
I found my one in a shop in new Zealand
Hasbro shouldn’t have the toy rights anymore
Great review man!
I had no idea this came out
I wish the hasbro star wars team wasnt so disconnected
I pre ordered two and one got canceled honestly first time ordering from Walmart hopefully if they Ever make darth maul loyalist it dosent come from Walmart
At this point practically every desirable Star Wars figure from hasbro is exclusive to Walmart
@@Endergaming-js7ro hasbro needs to listen to the fanbase after all the customers have the wallets,I heard people were mad when they said particular figures were exclusives this year on there live reveal ,I have friends who shop in person and they say nearly all the aisles of Star Wars black series and vintage are empty these practices will be the downfall one day I just hope to get my new VTC darth maul TCW around September and hopefully they bring some death watch loyalist in 3.75 soon
Bring out Wilrow - I care!
This issue isn't strictly related to starwars either. Just be happy you don't collect Pokemon cards
god why does he look like bam margera
Why does he look like Mrs. Doubtfire?
He sorta does. Wrong hair color though.
I have actually seen 1 of these at a target… but I didn’t pick it up Please don’t bully me because I realise my mistake now. 😢
I don't know how you saw it at Target given it was a Walmart excluive... lol
Walmart and Target are both pretty bad with Star Wars exclusive figures.
I care about wilrow hood. Also Walmart give me my stuff
New sub
As much as I hate to say it, I don't think Hasbro will ever get better with this. I only see Star Wars figures going downhill in terms of quality, production, and distribution. I'm sure we'll continue to get Black Series figures as time goes on, but most will only be obtainable Online. Be it from Online Retailers, or..and I hate to say it, but..scalper prices. It's a sad, sad world we live in as Collectors, especially for those of us that have been collecting since we were kids. I don't think we'll ever get more 3.75" inch figures (WITH articulation) than we're getting now. Same can be said for vehicles, or any other interesting products. I'm not trying to sound so pessimistic, but Hasbro is a friggen mess, and has not gotten any better. I've been waiting years for it to happen, but let's be real, Hasbro Star Wars has been going downhill since like 2013.
There are figures I STILL have never seen in stores, and they've been "out" for months. Figures that are STILL hard to get Online. I've resorted to scalper prices, and some I've paid WAY too much for, and I hate it. I know I could easily stop and "wait" for the figures; but there hasn't been ONE figure I've paid scalper prices for that ended up selling everywhere in stores/online. I've truly considered giving up on collecting, and it's becoming more and more likely to happen for me. I work at Walmart, I unload thetrucks, and I still rarely see new figures. The times I do? I am always half-tempted to pull them aside and sell them to people myself at retail cost. (That's very illegal for me to do, unless of course I buy the entire box lmao)
Those are great figures.
I had all my pre orders canceled, second orders canceled. Had to buy on secondary market for a ton. I can't even get one for my 5 yr old son who loves star wars. Wot a fuqin fuq up!
PS made it up by giving him my grievous.
Target is far worse then Walmart, I’ve gotten every release from Walmart. Target is the worse especially with Joe’s, those are impossible to buy cause even when they resolve online the bots buy them before you can check out. Just a joke. Walmart the key is to order a few orders and then cancel the others once you get a tracking number in the first order.
Man they both suck. Target doesn't stock and their site gets raped by bots, and Walmart doesn't stock and they cancel orders/gouge prices. I personally think Walmart is worse cuz cancelling orders and gouging prices is extremely scummy business practice, Target is just incompetent.
Yoooo what's up
Siege: WFC (War For (the) Child)
I bit the bullet too and bought it and a Flame Trooper on eBay (both slightly cheaper due to them having massively dented cards-- aka Walmart being Walmart). Also went your route saw the card from other reviewers. I'm opening them up and displaying them.
But your right. A friend had a lot of G.I. Joe Classified (first wave, Red Ninja, and CC), buuuuuuut- after knowing they couldn't ever get a complete collection (thanks Cobra Island), he put them all up on eBay. Just utterly frustrated that he couldn't complete the set so he's like, "FUCK IT! I'm going back to retro." Which he's enjoying slightly more since it's been easier to obtain.
I honestly don't like how they focus on making toys for little kids the target little kids still they don't care about the collector do they make random things that nobody wants to buy and do their sit there on the shelves and they stay there and nobody buys them at all just because they're not worth it and if you put the price on it and makes it even worse to be for the buy stuff
I understand being mad at Hasbro and Walmart, but dude you literally said that you pre ordered two just to keep one in the box......what's the point of that? there's people out there that actually want to play with the figure but no people out there get the same excitement looking at a box then playing with a figure. might as well print out a picture and look at it instead, it'll actually help collectors order figures
And let me ask... what's the point of judging someone for why they buy something? Vintage Collection figures especially are very high quality collectors items, both in and out of the box. They look amazing in the package and it's nice to have a few like that for select figures.
@@Jcc2224 i mean its the internet people can criticize you, I think it's dumb to complain about not enough figures but then try to pre order two just to keep one in a box. Do you collect figures or boxes? just be honest lmao. But whatever helps you sleep at night
@@Jcc2224 just using logic against you, hasbro didn't put in work just to have them be kept in a package
I'm generally not a MOC collector, but select figures, very few, I want to keep in the package. There's a variety of reasons, for older figures I enjoy seeing the package that I saw in stores, it brings me back. For the Vintage Collection boxes, they're very nice looking and I enjoy having a select few on the card.
Your logic makes no sense man. There should be enough of something for everyone to get as many as they want of it, their reason or what they do with it is irrelevant.
