Found 3 black series Cassians for $2.96 each.
I'll open one, and maybe save the other 2 for when it eventually goes up once it can't be found everywhere, like all Black Series pegwarmers do.

Nice score. They never showed up here in good numbers. If any of you honkies see the 6" Emperor's Royal Guard, grab one for a brother & I will pay you for it right away. Shipping we can worry about later.

Are you serious?
Cassian and Jyn are massive pegwarmers, like Finn level pegwarmer.

Yep. I have seen a grand total of 1 Jyn & 1 Cassian during my Canadian shopping. I passed on the Jyn assuming we'd see tons - nope. The older waves never sold through. I finally got her when I went down to Cali for work (actually bought it while shopping with Chux). Shortly after I got home - this was back in April, I found a Cassian at retail on sale that I bought & gave to someone else who was missing it as Chux found one for me right after I went back home. I have never seen either of the troopers from that wave on the pegs up here.

This is about the time (relative to Force Friday) that some of the later TFA stuff showed up. Haven't seen a Chirrut yet, though.
Amazon had the 6" Royal Guard for $21.99 earlier today. I bit. I'll never see it in stores. Distribution is worse than ever.

That's a dream price for me. If you happen to see it again, please get it mailed to your place for me and as above, I'll send paypal to cover the figure immediately, shipping we can sort out later on!

I've opened Thrawn and Hera. Those are two fucking amazing figures.

I opened 5POA Old Luke and Jedi Training Rey. She's really great & he's fine.

I looked at the new figures.
Ended up buying ML Daredevil and a $9 Kitty Pryde.
I'd like To get the BS Old Luke, but I want to see the Target version first with the soft goods. The pics of that one look better than the regular one.
The new Rey looks pretty good too.

Expensive 3.75" Rey is going to hvae to be pretty damned good to get me to pop for her. I will certainly grab Old Luke in that format due to the soft goods.
EDITED: Some very nice pics of this wave, packaged & loose. Looks like Training Rey isn't even an option which makes me more glad the one they did was so good. The Royal Guard wannabe looks way better than I want it to - very tempting.

Grabbed Rose & Paige at TRU's sale price of $7.99 per figure - only way in this lifetime I will have my hands on 2 loose Asian chicks at the same time.

My collecting of the 6" Star Wars figures has been very sparse, but I picked up a Darth Vader at WM today.
I almost got the "early bird" collector box set because it was on clearance for $30, but keeping him on that vintage card would've been a difficult choice I didn't want to make and I would've wanted like a full set of all the vintage card figures, and literally the only other ones I've ever seen was a Luke and Leia at Walgreens.
Now I could use a couple classic Stormtroopers to flank him on the shelf.
And a 21B when they make him.

They are a very dangerous, expensive & slippery slope to start down. I have a desire for OT Imperials, Bounty Hunters & then whatever else from ESB as long as it meets my standards (plastic cape Lando, I'm looking at you disapprovingly).

The only other ones I have are a Boba Fett and K2SO.
I wouldn't feel the need to be a completist with this series, but getting the core OT characters, probably even only the ANH versions, would be enough for me. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, the Droids, Obi-Wan, etc.
