That's how it is here. Still nothing but Ep I crap except for vintage Maul.

They made 1:18 predators also, I bought the whole set that came with the alien queen and the whole set sucked, they are so brittle and you have to put them together that takes 15-20 min per figure, they are not worth the money at all.

Ha, forgot your Canuckian. I've heard amazon can't ship toys to Canadia due to safety laws or something. Hope that's not true! Good luck!

Tiberius · 08-17-2012, 08:12 PM

Amazon.ca doesn't even have a toys section. Like DUH FAWK?

DogFashionDisco · 08-17-2012, 08:22 PM

That can't be true.... that is like taking a toy section out of a retail store.

And I can think of a few times that happens.

Being in Canada too I understand what you mean. From the looks of it they charge a $10 flat rate and then around $5 a toy on top of that. At least that was what it was last time I looked.
One thing I did was get a USPS PO Box in the states. It is cheaper than boxes here and you can save lots of money on shipping. And even get stuff that can only be shipped to the US. But then I live near the border so I go over there ever week. It's cool.

Wish I could do that. I would have to drive 45 minutes down to Victoria then take the ferry to Seattle XD. Cheaper to pay silly shipping XD.

yeah...star wars is my first love and was my "gateway drug" into collecting other action figure lines. Its been with me for the past 30 years, I have a TON of fond memories collecting star wars figures, from hunting them down at retail, to picking some hard to find ones up at Con's, to displaying them and literally covering my walls with star wars figures. However the time has come to pretty much close this chapter of my collection. I leave for Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando this Wed. and I think it will be the last time I actively search for star wars figures. Going with a few things in mind to pick up, if I get them...so be it....if not...no big deal. Retail sucks and has sucked for a long time as far as hunting star wars figures. I have a few gaps in my collection because those waves just never made it to my neck of the woods. Shae Vizla might be the very last star wars figure I purchased at retail. Plus they are getting tooooo damn expensive. It took some convincing to justify the prices of the 6inch DC, MOTUC, and ML figures...but I simply can not justify the $10-12 price for these guys, even though I've paid a lot more for hard to find ones. I'm Over It.

went on a toy hunt today,out of 1 tru,1 target and 2 walmarts not a single store had ANY new star wars stock.

FancyPants · 08-18-2012, 12:52 PM

I've decided to sell off all my POTF and 12in SW stuff. It'll take me a week or so to catalog and post pics. Literally a garage full of stuff.

Off topic Shadows of the empire was probably my favorite SW book.

I'd say so. OV linked me amazon where they were as cheap as 14 lol. I've always wanted jabba (WM exclusive) and a couple of those guys.

The new LEGO jabbas palace is amazing. But i's the same price point as the millennium falcon. 140
