I just got my Darth Vader in Proto type Boba fat Star Wars figures at Walgreens!!!!! #starwars by SacredKnightOfTomorrow, on Flickr
look what I found!

[tgbobafett]

ugh now I got to be on the lookout for white Boba one day!! lol

[En Sabah Nerd]

I finally found a 6" figure I actually wanted, the Stormtrooper! Picked him up at Walmart tonight. I've checked my two local Walgreens stores and neither had the Boba Fett yet, and the employees weren't any help. I called one of them earlier to ask if they had them or if they knew when they'd be getting them, and the guy just said "we won't know until we unbox and stock them", so that was useless.

[tgbobafett]

i might have me a hook up at one of my local Walgreens for that Prototype Fett! I went by there today to see if they had any, and he at least knew what I was talking about, but said someone bought the only 1 that came in!! I was like 1???

so how many proto fetts come to a case? and does anyone know the upc number off of it?

[Shadowninja]

anyone know if that darth malgus in the 3.75 black series is a reissue of the vintage line that was so htf or brand new? any pics?

probably not
I may get one to open since my vintage carded one is still sealed. Same with Shae Vizla.

Hey anybody who's found the Walgreens protoFett, how many will there be per display/stock? Will it be like Agent Venom where there's like at least eight or ten in the display, or are they pulling some crap where it just replaces a figure in the box?

From what I could tell, when I found one, they only had 3 figures. 1 Vader, 1 Luke and 1 Fett. And I found them in the distribution bins they get from the Warehouse each week. They were stocking toys when I bought him. So to me I would say not a massive display like AV.

[Nymesys Prime]

big release of Fett isn't until October but Walgreens have been getting SW black..mine had Fett and Sandtrooper...possibly Vader and Bacca but I only found Fett and trooper...

[En Sabah Nerd]

I really hope we get a Zeef Howdo figure one day. You know, Zeef Howdo from the Key & Peele skit, portrayed by Jordan Peele.
"Ideally though..."

[ultraman zoffy]

Called around and scored the whole wave yesterday along with an extra Fett for my bro-in-law between 2 stores in my area (Nor Cal). Luke and the trooper are still boxed up, but I've decided to return the trooper since I already have the orange shoulder one. Awesome figures, but the cloth apps on Vader start looking a little ragged when you start posing him a lot...

So I just learned that the Boba Fett I pre-ordered from Entertainment Earth months ago now is back ordered. I pre-ordered on the first day that they were available, and I'm just now being told that I made my pre-order too late (by hours apparently) and that every figure available had already been claimed by the time I finished my order. They don't have any pre-sold out notification for items that they can back order so I had no idea until just recently. DON'T pre-order from Entertainment Earth because you won't know if you actually have something secured until months later when they tell you that they don't. I'm never pre-ordering from them again.

Happened to me too. I forget exactly what it was but I never pre-order from them anymore.
Usually when you do a pre-order the company has a set number they expect to get. EE just over sells pre-orders. I assume they do it in case someone cancels. It is just bad form.

I've learned my lesson, at least BBTS seems on top of updating item status, once it pre-sells out you can't order until they secure more. At least that's my experience with them anyway.

i learned my lesson years ago not to use toys n joys anymore! its been a while now, but way back when i tried to order something from them, that they were out of apparently w/o showing out of stock. so i had to buy something else cuz i already paid for it and they took forever to give me back my money. they got the next order wrong as well, cuz something i ordered was out of stock (they took it upon themselves to replace it w/ something i've never heard of). so i said F YOU!! lol

[Relena Warcraft]

No luck with Proto Fett, BUT I got Luke and Vader today. Holy crap Vader is one of the best 6" figures I've gotten in years.

[En Sabah Nerd]

Finafuckinglly, after a year of disappointing orders and searches yielding no bounty, I finally have a 6" Boba Fett. They could cancel the 6" line altogether now and I wouldn't lose sleep.

Thank the stars for Dorksidetoys.
Not the best picture, a tad fuzzy, but I was just so excited to finally have one for myself.

[305Batman]

I just sold mine in a lot on ebay,like the movies,thought I needed the figs,turns out I didn't!

[En Sabah Nerd]

Honestly, no one needs the figures, people simply want them and have cash to satisfy their desires. If someone actually needed toys it would have to be from some mental dependency on them, or a mad man is holding your life/your family's lives at stake until you buy that toy.

[305Batman]

He wasn't a mad man but.....I think I've said too much,oh shit here he comes.... LOL

[tgbobafett]

I finally got my layaway out!!

[trebleshot]

Picked up 6" BS Vader yesterday. Still hunting for Chewy and ProtoFett. I'm not getting the variant Sandtrooper, so I'm not sure I want to drop the money on Fett since I already have the ESB version.
