Yeah... if the Ghost wasn't so likable as a toy they wouldnt have blown the doors off with its lego run or had been one of the most successful Haslab campaigns...
I completely understand the need for repaints .. I mean transformers did multiple repaints for figures since the original gen 1 release... I was a huge action fleet fan and have pretty much all the action fleet vehicles including the star ship troopers and aliens release.
Several stores in my area in the Pacific Northwest only have series 1 Genevix fighters. Even, my local Walmart has like 12 of those things. Almost feel like I have to buy them up And use them as gifts. I'm kind of hoping that they release some larger vessels like the Naboo Royal Starship
Great stream, thanks alot Kevin and Cole for doing this again. Loved seeing all the MGS news, and your awesome customs Kevin. Was fun too watching Cole unbox his Phantom shuttle.
Try living in EU and collecting Micro Galaxy Squadron. Except for Amazon and often not even the European sections like de, it or se but having to order from the US Amazon (one of the few that ships here and have some stock) it's almost impossible to get a hold of anything. Especially any chases or rares. Then add idiotic stuff like making the N1 Naboo Starfighter (not even just a variation or repaint but the basic starfighter) and Hoth AT-AT set exclusives to either vault, wal-mart or Target. Meaning either US shops that don't even ship here, or having to pay more than double due to shipping, custom handeling fees and VAT. Usually not being able to get them no matter what. I'm so sick and tired of it all.
Oh and btw, it's the same with Hasbro Pulse. Only re-releasing Black Series Clone Commander Rex and Commander Fox in US, not all over the world, made me so disappointed. It seems like Corporate America views all countries in the rest of the world like some 3rd world countries to either exploit (if it's for resources) or not care about at all or view as real customers to respect and supply a demand to.
Thanks guys i appreciate the work and help you have been doing to keep both the public/ fans with the micro galaxy collectors out here, and the messages you send forth to Jazware's on our behalf for cluster fracks like the Light Armor class series. thank you for been involved and keeping us informed as you learn things.
I was actually able to pre-order an AT-TE & a Phantom Amazon U.S. AT-TE was 39.99 ea. Both have expected delivery 2 Oct 2024. As for the last Vault release, Jazwares screwed the pooch. I actually got it on Ebay the next day for 115 dollars. The dude listed 3, so unfortunately I had to feed Scalper Scum, but the price was way better than 150-200, so I consider myself fortunate. And yes, limit 1 - duhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah, this was live on Friday night before they went live in the US. I grabbed both too, but feel bad for everybody who was sleeping during that presale.
@@MicroGalaxySquadron Me too, was a fluke I was up, but a lucky one. I am sure more to come soon, that's how they like to torture us LOL. Can't wait for the Ghost!!
Guys, how do you get a working Jazwares coupon? I signed up for promos and emails and was promised 15% off my order and they never sent me a code in exchange for all the personal info. I provided. Not cool, seems like a scam.
I believe the welcome code no longer works but there’s a new one that’s NEWBIE10 or NEWBIE15, something like that. MOBILE10 should work as well one time.
Great video, thanks for doing these discussions. I am still hoping to find Tie Interceptors and Y-wings in my area (midwest). Still stuck with series 3 V-wings and Ginivexes.
Jazwares were feeling pretty left out here in england still with only a select few making it to our shores can you please open the vault to us european customers please
Great stream, thanks for the upload. Still no series 4s in my area, might get skipped for series 5s. My walmarts are still clogged with series 3 V-wings and Ginivexes. My local walmart finally has discounted the series 1 troop transports for $10. So excited for my U-wing which should come tomorrow.
@@MicroGalaxySquadron Did you see how fast the series 3 Light armors sold out on Vault today? I was there right on time and as I was making my order it goes out of stock. The whole thing didn't last more than 3 minutes.
@@Straswa Yyyep. Went live 3 mins early so unfortunately most people who were there right on time missed out. The whole scalper thing this time around is crazy too. That was barely an issue last month but now there’s 300+ on eBay. Definitely very odd.
UPC data for series 6 and 7 showed up in Walmart and Amazon's systems. There's a few threads in the facebook groups if you do a search. It sounds pretty close to what we should be getting, but I wouldn't tale every item as 100% guaranteed as plans are always changing (like series 5).
Yes. The snowspeeder could have been an army builder if it were orange stripes. I only need 1 grey Luke’s snowspeeder in my collection. If they do an orange stripe version single, I want 3
100% going to try to snag one of the AT-AT packs but there’s no way I’m paying scalper prices for it if I don’t get one. Also give me a MGS premium like yesterday.
i can relate to the refrigerator box full of action fleet boxes. i’ve got the shipping boxes from galoob that the waves shipped to toys r us in and the action fleet boxes are stored in those.
in the mid to late 90s, galoob had internet forums for collectors. that’s where we got all our information for what was coming out in the action fleet line. there were very few resources on the internet at the time. galoob also had contests and giveaways and i got a test shot action fleet virago in lavender colored plastic through those events. the forums were also how we learned about easter eggs via galoob designer jim fong who went by jkf there.
2:10:30 It's always difficult to find for the collectors who actually care about the item. It's *NEVER* difficult to find for the eBay scalpers who couldn't care less. Newer collectors. Also casual collectors & poor collectors. I'm a casual/poor collector. Micro Galaxy Squadron is in 3rd place behind Transformers & Masters Of The Universe. So I don't have a lot of money & time to invest in it. I need this line to be *EASY.* But unfortunately, it's beyond *DIFFICULT.* And I live in an area with small stores that never restock. So there is no "hunt" around here. I also despise hunting. I just want to buy what I want & be done with it. I don't go to a store to "hunt". A store is supposed to have the product in stock on the shelf.
Please get these things on BBTS & EE. Amazon is horrible! I pre-ordered 2 TIE Bombers. I had the money in the bank. But Amazon said my payment was declined for insufficient funds. Amazon didn't know what happened. My bank didn't know what happened. Amazon didn't hold the items for me & they sold out. Amazon eventually canceled my order. I got totally screwed for no reason. Please get BBTS to carry this line. There are never any issues with BBTS. Amazon, Walmart & Target all suck!
*PLEASE STOP THE CHASES!* Just make them available to everybody. Chases do nothing but keep the scalpers fed. Chases are the exact opposite of "collector friendly". What good is a ship that you cannot find or afford? That just pisses collectors off. What's the point??? Who benefits except the eBay scalpers?
Thanks guys for your resources, I'm from the UK and love micro galaxy squadron, it's harder to get things and news over here so greatful for you guys 👍🙏
Bro, seriously we need you to sell figure sets so the client may complete the sets…. So annoying to get 2 figures or just 1 pilot with a ship that got 4 or 5 crew members
6 month later and apart from the AT-AT nearly nothing from Series 4 or 5 has been seen in european stores yet. Living in germany, I also have to import a lot of the old series from spain, because there doesn't seem to be much stock here. Everything appears to be “exclusive” and even more exclusive to the US market. Where are the release dates for these series in europe? (Especially, I am interested in A-, Y-, and B-Wing together with the Tie Interceptor and Bomber.)
