That's exactly what I do. I have a checking account at a totally different bank than our regular accounts. And we us that one for online purchases. This way or real checking and savings accounts aren't online. Been doing this ever since CSC got hacked back when DCUC 9 was shipping. Our checking account was hacked for just under $1300. (there was more in hold, but we caught it in time) so since then we opened this account with Key Bank that has no minimum limit on how much is in the account as long as you do 10 transactions a month. So we keep under $5 in there and just add funds when we are purchasing something or paying bills.
But like I said in the Batman thread my last order with spamS (60's Catwoman) I didn't want to wait for it to ship over the weekend so I used a regular CC to pay. But I forgot to clear it from my file after...so when I went to see what I owed between these and the DCD figures I saw they charged that CC. So I cleared that card from my account today, because I hate charging my toys. I'd rather just pay for them right away and not pay finance charges.
Oh and I got my shipping notices today.

Here are some pics of Series 2 I took earlier today, gotta say, this series has so much potential that it's very exciting each time a new series comes out, the list of great characters who can be made in 6 inch form is huge, really hope this line continues on for a long time!  Han Solothis along with Boba Fett were the 2 I wanted most from this set, the articulation is great,and the accessories are all very cool, my biggest complaint is the torso seems a bit tiny once you take the vest off, not a huge deal though.           GreedoI gotta say, I was a bit surprised they chose to throw Greedo into the line this early, but either way, a solid figure.         Princess LeiaBesides my figure having a few scuff marks here and there which bothers me a bit, its a nice figure, theres a big difference in her size compared to the rest of the figures, hope we 1 day get a Jabba the Hutt to put next to her!           Boba Fettbad ass figure, a lot of details all over the outfit, and the weapons are pretty sweet too, glad I waited and didn't pay any extreme prices for that SDCC Fett with Han in carbonite (as cool as it is)                 |

Anyone have the Mace Windu from Episode I that has the Blue Lightsaber? Here is some trivia for you, Hasbro made an electronic Orange Lightsaber when Episode II came out and it is quite rare

I am loving this Han figure. What other figures are you looking forward to or hope get made in the 6" scale. For me besides Vader and the Bespin Luke & regular Stormtrooper I hope they make...
Rebel Trooper
Bespin Han
Luke (New Hope)
Bossk
Tuskin Raider
Han (RotJ)
Chewbacca
Those are the ones I am hoping for the most. Also I'd love to see Hasbro make a 6" Indiana Jones figure.

I have some useful news, and I have some unfortunate news (depending on your opinion). I read multiple posts on rebelscum citing JediDefender.com and Toyark.com that A big batch of 6" Star Wars figures that are going to be produced in the future (most likely the next waves after wave 3 or 4) include this: SW 6" EP 4 CHEWBACCA SW 6" TIE PILOT SW 6" EP 5 C-3P0 SW 6" EP II CLONE TROOPER SW 6" EP 5 DARTH VADER SW 6" EP 6 LUKE JEDI SW 6" JAWAS SW 6" SANDTROOPERS (Multiple Listings) SW BLACK SERIES 6INCH DELUXE AST (?) SW BLACK SERIES 6INCH JABBA THE HUTT SW BLACK SERIES 6INCH SPEEDER BIKE Now this is AWESOME news in my oppinion. Jedi Luke, Chewbacca, Vader are all great additions to the line. The Speeder Bike, AST (dont know what that means, neither do the people citing it), and JABBA! Look very promising. Now for the bad news. You can take this as you want though, and I'd love to hear some of your oppinions on this because its interesting + I really want a reason to like this decision... Starting with Wave 3 (Obi-Wan, Bespin Luke, Stormtrooper) The Black Series will only be having 3 Characters per wave, with a possible 4th being a re-release of a figure from an earlier line. "During the NYCC we were told that the decision to go from four figures in a wave to three was to give Hasbro some flexibility to re-release figures that maybe didn't see a huge release the first time around." So, in my oppinion, thats garbage. The main arguement I would think of in support of a 3 figure wave is for exceptional quality on the figures, but the fact is that these figures are of the exact same quality as the first 2 lines; which is good, but has a flaw or two. nothing exceptional, but pretty good. The idea is that these figures are not going to be any better quality then when we have/had 4 figure waves. Also, I hope that they come out with Waves a lot sooner, as a new wave every 3 months is way to far apart for only 3 new figures. 2 months is fine in my eye. but for 3 figures? yeah right. However, if instead of a 4th figure, we get a big seperate item such as Jabba, or the Speeder Bike, than I'm totally cool with it! But we will see how it goes. Anyways, what do you guys think of this news? I'd love to hear your opinions, and hope I can find some interesting ideas in your posts  |

kinda disappointed if its only going to be 3 figures, I want as many of these and as often as possible lol.
Its been a very long time since I collected Star Wars figures and truthfully these first 2 series have brought me back to when I was a kid and watched the Trilogy all the time and couldn't get enough of the toys, but like you said, if it allows for bigger items like Jabba or the Speeder Bike, then I guess I can live with it

Did series 2 of the 6 inch hit retail yet? I don't think so. I haven't heard of anybody finding them in stores. I have doubts as to if these are going to survive at retail. My Target has them overflowing off the shelves (at least 6 of each character), and my Kmart has had the same one case of them since early August. They aren't moving in my area. I think the price point is too high and they aren't selling so I'm worried that the stores are not going to order any more and I'll never see Series 2. I guess I could order off Amazon, but I like to inspect them in the store before I buy so that I don't get any defects/paint smudges. |

Great pics. Wave 2 looks even stronger than wave 1, and I loved wave 1. Han, Boba, and Greedo (surprisingly) are musts for me. Leia I'll get, even though I think the slave costume isn't necessarily the attire I'd have chosen, but I know why Hasbro chose to do it. Han does look slim without the vest, but let's face it...when was he ever without the vest in ANH?  Doesn't bother me since I won't likely remove it. Boba Fett is a GREAT looking figure (and this is coming from a guy who doesn't buy into the "Boba Fett is the greatest" riff you hear a lot) and appears to be really well detailed. Greedo looks exactly as he should, the head sculpt alone is worth it to me. Those future figure predictions are great. To be honest, 3 figures in a wave doesn't bother me, basically saves me 20 bucks on a figure every few months. I try to keep my collecting to a minimum, which is hard to do between some of the Marvel/DC stuff, WWE flashbacks, and now SW Black Series. |

Found Series 2 at Target in Poughkeepsie, NY, They only had 1 Han Solo and 1 Princess Leia, and I bought them. They are really cool.
