@rszarir 2 года назад

A fellow collector and redditor was at the Hasbro Booth at Star Wars Celebration and he overheard this conversation about why the Black Krrsantan figure ended up the way it did (it's also safe to assume the Boss figure went through the same thing. Imperial Crosshair was likely a case of Hasbro getting concept art from Lucasfilm that wasn't finalised). To quote: "When I was at Celebration this past week at the Hasbro booth, someone was asking Eric (from the design team) a question about the comic Black Krrsantan, and he had this to say: For the publishing waves that go to fan channel, they are given a set amount they can spend for the entire wave (which seems to be smaller than normal release waves based on how he phrased it), as opposed to a per figure budget. So that’s why the first wave had the Luke that was 100% the Degobah Luke (with the ysalamiri being the only new thing) since the shirtless Maul had so much new tooling, and the next one has the Redeemed Vader. They have a long list of characters they want to do; it’s just a balancing act of which ones need more of the budget and which ones they can slot alongside them that need less. When they decided to do Black Krrsantan and began working on him, they had no idea he was appearing in BoBF. And they did base the figure on a particular look in one of his comic appearances (since his size and proportions vary wildly) where it looked like they could use a Chewie base with a new head and bandolier. But in a case of unfortunate timing he went from a relatively niche character to one with nearly universal fandom recognition for his TV appearance. When asked if we would be getting a TV version soon, he said how they want to complete teams and give people stuff from the current media they’re enjoying, but “notice how there isn’t a lot of BoBF merch out right now. There’s a reason for that.” He didn’t elaborate more on it as one of the convention security guards butted in to say the floor had closed and it was time to go (which they were very tough about all week long; at 5 after they would turn the lights off)."

@jsoo67 2 года назад

I recently watched a guy talking about being an intern for year at Hasbro and there was a lengthy comment from a guy who worked for Activision and part of his job was dealing with what sounded like upper management at Hasbro. He described them as stupid evil money grubbers. Sounds about right.

@CANTKILLCHEWIE 2 года назад

@@jsoo67 haha wow

@danielhall7116 2 года назад

I want to know why there isn't more BoBF figures. You'd think they would have had at least a waves worth lined up before it even aired, considering Obi show has so many already, including the fourth sister who I think only has one line so far.

@danck941 2 года назад

I couldn't find the Clone Wars season 7 Ahsoka in the wild and ended up having to pay scalper prices online to get her. Not my proudest moment, but I needed that figure. Hasbro's recent laziness(the 6in Captain Fordo figure is inaccurate af, and they didn't think we would notice that it was supposed to be him if they packaged it as just "Arc Trooper") has me concerned about if they eventually make a 6in Starkiller figure(WHERE TF IS HE HASBRO GAMING GREATS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS NOW!) that they will drop the ball and do something stupid like give him a reused mold. Our boy deserves his own new mold. Anyway nice to to see you back your videos are great.

@venominalgaming3369 2 года назад

As someone who works retail, fines are issued if stores sell products early. Most of the time the register won’t even allow a transaction/ usually means it’s not in stock yet. There’s even been situations where entire brands or products are pulled from early offending stores.

@facelessenigma_213 2 года назад

I didn't jump in on collecting black series figures until around 4 years ago. The first figure in my collection was a gamestop exclusive, commander wolffe, which has since been re issued. I missed some the headaches of collecting black series since I came in later. I managed to find a scarif trooper at 5 below for 5 bucks, along with chirrut and baze. About a week after I picked them up I was a different 5 below inside a mall, they had a whole wall of chirrut, baze, and scarif troopers. I managed to score all the clone wars figures from target except anakin. I came across two of the clone wars season 7 ashoka walmart exclusives one day. I was so hyped as I walked down the aisle with the mural art facing me and then I picked them up and and some douche-canoe had swapped both out for zorii bliss. I got the clone wars commander obi Wan from walgreens. Drove around to a few before I found a walgreens not fair from my then apartment that had 4 of them in store. Rex is the one I could never, ever, EVER find in store. Be it target, walmart, gamestop, Ross, five below, etc. Ironically I own both the bad batch tvc rex and BS one. The general release one has eluded me. Don't know if cara dune or cad bane were anywhere near cracking your list?

@CANTKILLCHEWIE 2 года назад

yeah those came close, they were both pain in the asses to find

@zforce4399 2 года назад

Bro we need to get a beer! Haha. So forgive the long comment but it's worth the read. So I work for the enemy that is Wal Mart and during the time of this tale was the manager of the toy department. So fun fact I had 0 control over what my department would receive even if I reached out to the sales vendors ie Hasbro, Mattel etc. Which in and of itself is insane. I work at the highest volume store in the state and yet they wouldn't send me some of the most popular items that would sell like crazy. So I had no idea that I was even getting the Ashoka endcap shipper until I come in one morning and overnights put it out. There it was holy shit. So I immediately blow my first break and buy one of each figure. Man did I want to at least double up on the Ashoka clone especially considering there was about 10 of them but I still only got one. Then a regular who comes in literally every single morning also respectfully buys 1 of each ( he's a cool guy we have become drinking buddies) then by 7:30....... Mind you we have been open for 30 minutes at this point, some super douche finn comes in and cleans them out..... And I mean all of them.... Probably loaded up 20 figures. I had never even seen him before..... I had to use every ounce of will power I had to stop myself from telling him what a cancerous piece of shit he was and how lucky he was I was on the clock cause I'm that guy, if we are in line at say a force Friday and you clean the hooks right in front of me I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel about it lol. I could rant until I'm blue in the face about my hatred for scalpers...... In the words of Hubert Farnsworth " GET A JOB "

@CANTKILLCHEWIE 2 года назад

haha yeah man thats crazy, yeah for real if i saw that me and dude are scrapping in the parking lot. ive yet to see any real scalping in person but Im sure you see it all the time

@zforce4399 2 года назад

@@CANTKILLCHEWIE Sad but true.... And I used the opportunity to network and try and meet new cool like minded people. That regular I mentioned that I became pals with has been a great thing. I gave him my 1st edition Mando and he was so happy that over our new friendship he connected me with the target clone wars figures and some gi joes that I never would have found without him. I feel many collectors would prefer a good trade where both parties are happy vs paying any kind of inflation. I have a $200 fig you want and you have a $100 fig I want? Great we both paid 20 bucks for them let's swap lol. Then I meet a guy that after a little talking he proceeded to tell me he was down to 24 carbonized Mando's...... I'm like hold on did you just say 24? And down to? As in you had more?? I told that ass that I didn't care if he had the #1 thing I was looking for I wouldn't give him a thing out of my collection if his life depended on it. I bring that up because what better example? That one POS robbed soooo many people out of the opportunity to find that figure for themselves. Those people are making me question my hobby constantly...

@cdpetee 2 года назад

Baze and Chirrut. When those were released I was working a job right down the street from Target, and I hit them up EVERY DAY. They were just setting up a four-sided mid-aisle TBS display that was pre-stocked with the 'Rogue One' figs. I think it held 96 figures. I tore through the whole thing and on the bottom shelf, in the back, was ONE Baze and ONE Chirrut. Looked for doubles for a friend but NOPE. That was the ONLY time I saw them in the wild. No other Target near me got that floor display.

@CANTKILLCHEWIE 2 года назад

yeah bro, i feel ya, i was out there pretty much everyday and never saw them! i had to buy them online but eventually found them both at 5 Below like 6-8 months later

@BoogSReviews 2 года назад

I never found them at normal stores but I found them at 5 below. Mine only got 1 of each in. I called 5 below and they held both for me till I could get there. That’s the quickest I ever got ready 🤣

@thelegendaryprog 2 года назад

I’ve been with the black series since it’s inception back in 2013, and man I will never forget this. Boba Fett has always been one of my favorite characters and when I heard he was in wave 2, I was searching endlessly. I managed to find everyone except him. One day I went to target and they must have put out a fresh case because he was sitting right in front. Unfortunately for me, another collector just managed to get to aisle before me and right as I was walking up, he put him in his cart. Heartbreaking to say the very least.

@BoogSReviews 2 года назад

Someone scooped all them up within the first 10 minutes of each of my Walmarts opening. For some reason one hid an Ahsoka behind some NECA figures and that’s how I got mine. I always check behind figures and on top and bottoms of shelves for that very reason.

@damienmooneyham5761 2 года назад

I took the day off work and went to Walmart on Triple Force Friday in 2019. I went early and hung around the toy section. The only figures I found were Cal Kestis and Kylo Ren. Of course, I was hoping to get the Mandalorian, but couldn't because a Walmart snatched up most of the figures (in the two cases the store received) for himself. He even gloated and showed them off to me. I never wanted to punch someone so much in my life.

I think all of the Mandalorian (Din Djarin) figures as a whole should've been #1. The original figure I bought at a Walmart when it was first released, I never saw in a store again. The Beskar version, I never saw in stores & had to get from BBTS. I've never seen the the initial Din/ Grogu 2 pack in stores. Other figures I would've added to the list from personal experience: Mandalorian & Remnant Stromtrooper (Remnant Trooper, got at a Target and never seen it since) Hunter (had to get from Mercari) Crosshairs (found at a 2nd & Charles) Red box Qui-Gon Jinn Original Leia in Boushh disguise Gamestop R5-D4 figure Jango Fett BT-1 Red box Tusken Raider Heavy Infantry Mandalorian (had to settle for the Carbonized Version) Commander Bly Death Watch Mandalorian

Ah the last Force Friday. I got a funny story. I went to Target that day to get just the regular Mando and Second Sister before they opened. I walked past this other collector. I suspected a scalper, but the doors open we both are eyeballing each other doing that fast paced walk. I'm familiar with this Target he ends up going down the wrong aisle. Nothing new there, so we go our ways to ask an employee for help. We both ended up waiting at the back stock room door for the new merchandise to be pulled out. Well they pull the u boat of merchandise out and I took the lone BS case and cut it open with my pocket knife (the employee was like dang your ready!) Grabbed my 2 l wanted and left.

For the most part, I only collect troopers and other imperial character. Boba - lucked out and was able to order the wave 2 case. Never saw him in the wild. Hux and Asty - saw both at Walmart pretty early on, bought Hux. Mando - didn't bother with any of the carbonized figures, but I don't think I saw him. Scarif Trooper - found him at Walmart. First and (until a few weeks ago) the only time I went to that specific Walmart. Target ones - found the pilot at Target, never saw the other trooper. Didn't want the Jedi so I don't know if I saw them. Walmart ones - pre-ordered the Ahsoka trooper, not interested in the others, don't know if I saw them. Obi-Wan - didn't see, never checked. Purge - don't remember, but I have him. Baze & Chirrut - never saw them, though I wasn't looking either. Rex - I think I got him Amazon, not 100% sure. I know I have him. Also found the cloaked one hidden with some Pops at Walmart. Mando - got the black boxed version on Amazon, midnight sale on Force Friday. I never saw the first release of RotS Anakin. All the stores here were choking on the previous wave's Obi-Wan, so that wave never showed up.

No updates to any of the shelves in my area for several months. I'm lucky to have the largest comic shop on the East coast about 5 minutes from my house. Every time I walk in there I come out with a figure that's hard to find. Theres probably 120 Blackseries figures on pegs right now in there. They have RazorCrest and Sailbarge too, probably 3000 Pops, tons of vintage stuff. Galactic comics in South Carolina. I appreciate this vid bro, it's good to know I'm not the only one striking out in the stores. If it's not Hasbro dropping the ball its scalpers buying everything they find or the store employees not putting them out. Yeah guys check your local comic shops.

The easiest figure out of this list that was easily available in my area had to be the general Obi-Wan kenobi walgreens exclusive. At one point they were peg warming. I'm so happy I bought one because the price for this figure has sky rocketed. The hardest to find in my area had to be the first edition mandolorian. It was a mess to find one and all the scalpers snatched them all up. Great video.

@Stark-ph5et Год назад

It’s funny bc I’ve have never seen that Obi wan where I live, hell I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single Walgreens exclusive at a Walgreens where I live in general

I had a heck of a time finding the first release of the Mando Stormtrooper and ESB Vader. I usually end up getting Walmart exclusives when the hype of the pre-order dies down and the figs are on-hand. This luck applies to my acquisitions of the following: BB Rex; Clone Trooper Fives; Clone Trooper Jesse. It's the Walgreens and Target exclusives, that may as well be for sale on the moon, that are my personal nemesis.

I dropped getting my figures from Gamestop recently and cancelled all of my pre-orders, which totaled around 20 figures. I'm also done with pre-ordering video games from them as well. Here's why...... Recently I ordered a vintage figure from the Mandalorian line. The figure was shipped and when I opened the box it was empty. I contacted Gamestop and they finally sent my a replacement, but it took months to get. In fact, I ended up taking that figure to Gamestop to get a refund after I found the figure at a comic specialty shop of all places. I recently ordered the black and gold Stormtrooper from the Battlefront series (Umbra trooper?) . I pre-ordered him on the first day. I waited months until I finally get a notice they shipped the figure to me. Again I waited weeks with no figure. I checked the tracking number provided by Gamestop and I noticed the shipping arrival time kept getting kicked back. The shipping number was also registered to FedEx (ugh). When I contacted Gamestop, they informed me the figure was shipped via the USPS and not FedEx. I told them I did not want a refund and I still wanted the figure. The Gamestop rep told me they were currently out of stock, but would get me one as soon as possible. The following week they sent me a refund, stating they wouldn't get anymore of the figures in stock and my figure was possibly lost in transit. Nooooo, I think it was stolen by one of the Gamestop employees who happened to know what was in the box and decided to get it themselves, making a pretty buck for it on eBay. Trust me CKC, this figure will make your future Top 10 list of hard figures to find. So if Gamestop gets an exclusive figure, then that's an exclusive figure that won't make it to my collection. If I want it bad enough, I''ll take my lumps and buy it from a scalper on eBay (although I'm done with them as well). I quit collecting the Marvel Legends figures for this reason as well because I get tired of Hasbro releasing the same re-packaged figures. I get tired of the rude ass employees at Walmart and Target who is too lazy to check the stock room or is too pissed off at the world because they're not making more money

@CANTKILLCHEWIE 2 года назад

wow man thats is garbage. an empty box!? Id be pissed! i actually accidently canceled my order of black series umbra operatives so I dont have one either

@infernal27 2 года назад

A discord would be a good idea to make! And yes those are some very tough to get figures, good thing they are slowing down a bit on exclusives maybe one or two every few months but that’s not as bad as before

@SuperAllelujah 2 года назад

Its sad i found the Purge Trooper at Gamestop by accident. The Mando figures I found both but I had dipped out of Star Wars toy collecting at that point. Honestly i think I've found half the figures on this list at points where I was not toy collecting. Sad face.

@CANTKILLCHEWIE 2 года назад

@porterchudyk4605 2 года назад

I’m still upset about the Walmart and target clone wars figures. I grew up with clone wars and spent weeks hunting those down and ONLY managed to find Ahsoka and mine has fused joints, scuffed paint, and crooked line work. Also it was overall just a bad figure with crappy reuse. Still upset about that.

Anything in a store (Target-WM- Walgreens) all a joke!! Most employees scoop up the exclusives and Ebay them to change x3 the price. Used to love to go on the hunt. Then again with gas at $5 a gal. online maybe the way to go. If they would allow curbside or ship. Such a hassle these days.....
