Star Wars Black Series

I think Starkiller might never have gone up on Pulse? I just got one from BBTS, still available there at least as of right now.
 
Went ahead and switched my Starkiller over to Pulse and ordered the SCAR 2 pack along with it. Noticed the Mace/Palpatine 2 pack was back in stock, so I ordered that too. My original order is still God knows where, so we'll see if I have better luck with this one; may the Force be with me.
 
$42.99??!! Not hard to believe that over half of consumer spending is from the top 10% of incomes. Hobbies are for the rich, exclusively. Clearance or nothing for me.
 
Ill pay it for Galen. He's top 5 fave SW characters for me. Tempted to order a 2nd one because I don't think he'll be discounted later. If he does somehow get discounted I definitely would buy a 2nd one, but I'm definitely not missing this one. Looks like all of his skirt pieces are wired. So I bet that increased the price a bit. That and all those lightsabers...

At least here lately, you can see where the money went regarding a lot of the figures- deluxes included. Not that I'm wild about the price, but you get a decent amount for it- accessories, newly tooled parts, wired soft goods, etc. Not to mention they've really been killing it with the articulation here lately. The last minute switch/miscommunication away from being sold through Amazon also means it's less likely to ever be discounted, at least to any substantial amount, given the reception to the figure/character. With characters like these that are genuinely questionable on whether or not they'll go on clearance, it's best to just get it if you can, rather than deal with the regrets later. Especially if it helps send the message to Hasbro that we do still want more of the games/movies/shows that get a little less love.

With the first couple Maul: Shadow Lord TVC figures being shown off, I hope we get a peek at some Black Series here soon. I'm sure The Crow is inevitable, but I'd still like to see him sooner rather than later.

Let the TVC people have their five minutes of happiness. The reveals at Toy Fair should put them back in their place.
 
I know the Crow/Inquisitor has already been rumored for Black Series, so I'm certain we'll get him. But I hope from the Maul show we also get that new Zabrak with the gatling gun, I hope we get the Jedi from the show, and I hope they let out another Marrok figure,

A lot of cool possibilities from Maul.

Also, I did get Starkiller pre ordered on Pulse yesterday. It took them like 30 minutes to finally make him available to pre order, but I was able to get him. This figure looks insanely good.
 
So I said the other day I don't feel like I have too many Black Series figures, just not enough space to display them, but I gotta admit to a brain cramp in blue yesterday - I saw Fives was in stock while ordering the new stuff and went full Gandalf, "I have no memory of this place" thinking I never got him. So I go scrambling to the box that is literally "clone troopers with blue markings." (I swear I don't have one for every color, there's just been a lot of 501st guys). And I'm like, wait when and how did I get three ARC troopers in blue and white? And I had to like, jumpstart my brain to remember they made Fives and I got him, but they also made pre-torture Echo and Mr. Best-Face-Tattoo-Ever Jesse, and I'd stored them without their helmets so I had to go make sure I had the right helmets, and then I spiraled because I saw what turned out to be Rex's helmet but it had dropped down in the box so I could only see the hashmarks and not his eye markings and I was like wait whose hat is THAT

Maybe I have too many clones. MAYBE. But also I spent an hour messing with the 501st and it was better than smoking a cigarette for settling my nerves, so there's that. I've had worse habits in my life.

UNRELATED, I got my used copy of Enfys yesterday and I... definitely got a ten dollar Enfys. I got what I paid for. The bike had a layer of dust on it like it came out of a tomb, was missing those cables that attach to the bike's handles, and the fins were a bit warped. Kinda mad at myself for not buying a new one from Amazon instead.
 
Its not too late?

I also have an obscene amount of clones, and 501st in particular lol.

This Galen already looks like he could be SW figure of the year contender.
