Does Mattel not even look at the secondary market when creating their case packs? Neville's first Basic sold for $50+ all during the holiday season and it's still going for $30+ on eBay and $45 on Amazon. So why pack his figures one per case when he's obviously a character that people still want and can't find?

I've always wanted that Angle. I don't think Mattel could do a better job with it.

I don't think that price is completely ridiculous. Especially since there are only 1 known (1 in the case of Funk) figure of each and some of the prices of LJN figures that were actually produced can get into the hundreds.
Does he post here anymore? He says that Funk, Muraco, Santana, and Bruno are hand samples and Capt. Lou is a resin prototype.

Correct me if I'm wrong as it's been almost a decade, but wasn't Traci Brooks going to be a Build a Figure? You're correct.

Well, looks like pandelis is the one that got them. He has a Funk, a Muraco, a Santana, and a BRUNO for sale on Facebook right now.

Amazing that this stuff is still out there in the hands of people who have no idea what they have.

Have they ever announced, or have there been rumors for, any Daredevil Netflix series figures? I'd love to have one in both his black and red attires from the series.

Obviously Star Wars was #1 last quarter. Who was #2? Marvel?

These things actually are selling very well and selling way more than any of the other gimmicky figures they've made. I love this kind of stuff and I'm pushing 40, haha.

Starting to wonder if I can order cases of The Black Series for whole sale through a distribution center. Driving store to store for 3 hours is starting to bother me.. Especially when I come up empty. You need a sales license. You also need a tax ID for a buisness to get wholesale distribution rights. You also need to file this under a company name, so you'll need a ficticious name. This all costs you about $160. And you would beed to file taxes quarterly for a buisness. Its not worth it. Wholesale doesn't save you much unless you can get direct, and good luck with that with Hasbro. With wholesale, you save $5 a figure. It depends on the state. I had to get a tax ID and sales license to sell on Amazon and it didn't cost me a penny here in Pennsylvania.

I was talking to the manager at the Disney Store yesterday, which is an outlet store. She told me that, unfortunately, the outlets aren't going to be getting the new release Elite Series figures. The closest regular Disney Store to me is 1 1/2 hours or more away, so I guess I'll be staying up late to order online for those releases. She also said they're expecting such high demand for them at the regular stores that they might end up doing some kind of lottery system for customers to buy them. I'm not sure how many are being made of each, but they're expected to be very limited edition.

I was able to find the 6" Captain Phasma Black Series figure at my local Meijer Thursday night. When comparing her to the other 6" Black Series figures, she seems significantly larger in scale. Did they tweak the scale for the Black Series going forward? Or is Captain Phasma just a large character? She's a large character.

Elite have some die-cast parts, while Black is all plastic. also, and I could be wrong about this, but it seems the Elite series may be slightly taller than the Black Series Do they have the same articulation? Which would you say are better? Cheers! Elite figures are mostly die cast, not just some die cast parts. These things weigh over a pound each in package, some close to 1 1/2 pounds. They are slightly taller. They range in height from about 6 inches (Rey) to almost 7 1/2 inches (Kylo Ren and Phasma). They have basic articulation. Neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, waist, hip, knee, ankle. No double joints and the hip joints don't appear to be ball joints. Mine are all in package and I'm not opening them, but that's what I can see.

I got the full set of Disney Store die cast figures. They're really cool and heavy! They weigh a little over a pound each. And the free pin is awesome! I wasn't expecting it to be engraved the way it is because I've received other Star Wars pins that aren't as high quality. Yeah I was totally caught off guard by how heavy the diecast figures were. I guess with Rey she's probably a little more heavy than the others too because of BB-8. I'm hoping my store restocks so I can see/potentially get Ren and Phasma. Curious about the mystery figure too. I'm planing on grabbing Boba Fett when that one is released. The staff at my Disney Store didn't know anything about the other releases. Of course, almost everyone that works there are older ladies that know nothing about Star Wars. But they're always very helpful employees. I'd love if the mystery figure is either current Luke or Han.

My brain is fried....so are the Disney store exclusives going to be available on at midnight too? Also, is the black series Captain Phasma going to be available tomorrow too? Most Disney Stores don't open until 6am or later local time. Mine opens at 6. I've seen others that open at 7 or 8, but none earlier in my general area. Check Disney Store's website for times in your area. They're going to start having stock available online at 12:01 Eastern time.

Nah. I'm not doing the midnight thing. I'll be at Disney Store when they open at 6am though. They're giving away a free pin with purchase and I'm more interested in seeing what other Disney exclusives there are since Disney Stores don't restock their exclusives a lot of the time. Cool. I'll probably see you out there then. I'm going to do TRU tonight and then maybe Walmart after and then just stay up for the Disney Store. I'm off tomorrow, so I figured screw it...I'll sleep later. Awesome! Good luck. I'm going to PM you.
