    Wave2 is one per case, except for Jawa and Death Squad Commander which are each two per case!!! Already confirmed as everyone is already finding them at Walmart stores!!! BrickSeek is a great website for checking stock at individual stores!!! Join the Black Series groups on Facebook for all the latest updates as Hasbro director Steve Evans is a member and updates us on everything!!!

      Thanks for the confirmation!! Knew it was something stupid like that.
      Arrgghhh, I just want 3PO and Chewie!!
      Awesome, thanks for the tip! I'll definitely do that 😊😊

    Argh I saw these at Toys R Us the other day and didn't pick them up! If only I had known how rare they apparently are. I totally would have picked them up for my collection

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому +1

      Ohhh nooo! That's the worst!
      Don't worry, it happens to all of us. Don't know how many things I've not grabbed and then lived to regret it later 😫
      Hopefully you can find some when stores start re-stocking!

    My friend put me onto your channel after my failures with Toys R Us on May 4th. I was able to pick up two Darth Vader Legacy packs while the buy one get one half price sale was on at Toys R Us last week, but I called 4 Myer stores, 3 Toys R Us, and 1 Target after I watched this video, and still no luck.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Ughhhh the whole thing is ridiculous! Hasbro should have made *more* of them to begin when. They know they'll sell, so why do such a limited run?!
      It creates a demand - but no one profits from that except the scalpers.
      I completely lucked out that I managed to find the Han and R2... or really any at all.
      I hope you have luck finding what you're after.
      What did the Target stores say if you don't mind me asking?
      Did they mention if they had received stock and sold out or still waiting?

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      But, good job on the Vader set! Thinking back, I should've done the same thing during the sale. I really want Vader in my set - I wish they were releasing him seperate

      Target wasn't that helpful TBH, they barely knew what I was talking about. Didn't sound like they had gotten any in previously. I'm hoping you're right about them getting the figures in stock though. Yeah it's a joke with Toys R Us. They are sticklers for the rules/street dates for Force Friday and Rogue Friday, and the people I spoke with at TRU said they weren't coming out til May 4th, and I ring them on the day and the same story, one guy bought them all on the 3rd, but buying all 16 figures they had in one store is ridiculous.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Yeah, that sounds about right. Well, keep at them, they should hopefully have some soon. I'm also hearing certain Zing stores are getting them in too.
      There should definitely be a limit to how many of anything you can buy. It's just unfair otherwise. Especially when they build entire promotions around the items.
      I'd imagine Disney had pretty tight embargoes of TFA and RO figures, giving some of them could be considered "spoilers" (e.g. Rey with the lightsaber) or Disney didn't want them seen until street date.
      They just obviously didn't care about this particular line.

    • @lambinator_2348
      @lambinator_2348 7 років тому

      Yeah, I could see Zing getting them, although once they sell out, I doubt they'll get anymore. Toys R Us has an 'open order' out on them, meaning they're supposed to get another order of wave 1 before wave 2 is supposed to hit in June. And I'm all for street dates, as long as head office sticks to it, and doesn't tell store managers to just put them out early. Anyway, congrats on finding them, and good luck getting the select few you want from wave 2.

    If you want the set mad zombie collectables has the entire wave 2 on the site. BTW I love your channel.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Thanks for the tip man! Now I just have to debate about whether I order the whole set or not... really only want Chewie and 3PO... but will I regret not grabbing the remaining 4?... eek... decisions, decisions! #CollectorProblems
      Thanks again, much appreciated :)

    Hi Dave well done on getting the figures, maybe you will find some in the Disney Park in Paris, scalpers really get on my nerves (Disney Movie Club don't help matters with exclusives, I need to find someone who is a member of the DMC), I might have to check out the local Toys R Us to see if they are in stock. Take care and have a great weekend.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Thanks, Alan!
      Oh boy, some of those DMC titles go for stupid money in the aftermarket.
      I really don't see why they don't make them general release - because they would sell.
      I guess it's just cheap for them, considering they're bare-bones and most of them are pressed on demand.
      Yeah, give it a shot. Interested to know how this release is treated in the U.K., since I've heard nothing but horror stories in the US and Aus.
      Take care!

    The next wave of red/black box figures is already out as well, you can see reviews of the figures here on UA-cam, the case consists of Qui Gon, Lando, Emperors Royal Guard and a repack of the Tusken Raider!!! All 40th anniversary figures will come out in the standard red/black box packaging, including Vader!!!

  • @blakey2242

    Hey Disney dave, I went to big w yesterday and i picked up both chewie and C3PO for $30 each. Big W have them so if you just want them I really suggest going to big w.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Hey dude! Thanks heaps for the tip-off!
      I'll check my local Big W tomorrow!!
      I'm surprised that Wave 2 has landed already, and at Big W before anywhere else!!
      Did your store have a couple of each on shelves or just one?

    • @blakey2242
      @blakey2242 7 років тому

      Disney Dave Down Under they had one of everything except the Jawa and imperial. They did say they might be getting another box in later in the month.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Thanks mate! Sadly, my local had nothing and knew nothing about it. I'm hearing other reports of them being found in different Big Ws too. So... hopefully I can get my hands on them soon

    Got 2 of each figure from Target melbourne yesterday $17 each. Couldn't believe it all Star Wars half price.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому +1

      That is lucky as!! I was so surprised when I heard about that deal and the fact they weren't excluding the Black Series stuff.
      Good work man

    The whole 40th Anniversary thing has been one big cluster fuc.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Yep, it was an absolute joke what I had to go through to get them all. If stores had properly stuck to release embargos or payed any attention to the demand of these figures instead of being so oblivious to it all, it would've been easier for most folk to get them.
      I think Hasbro may have also underestimated demand for these, given that, effectively, they're all repackages.

    • @unorthdoxcleric6953
      @unorthdoxcleric6953 7 років тому

      They are being re released here in the UK and Europe again for January 2018, but only wave 2 and R2 and Han. I have them on pre-order through Forbidden Planet.com. Just a little bit of info in case your friends still need them.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Thanks for the heads up. That's awesome to know for those who still need them. So looks like they're doing a second run of the 1/1 figures, most of the 2/1 figures I've seen kicking around from time to time still.
      Still need to get my hands on Vader.

    what place did you get Han and R2?

  • @edwardsanders94
    @edwardsanders94 7 років тому

    Go to the little toy company in Aus pre order darth set for only Aud $55 👍

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому +1

      Funny you mention them!! I was just looking at them this afternoon!
      My friends ordered Han from them and got it in like 3 days.
      So I think I might just do that. Happy to pay $55 for him. Not $100!!

  • @movienerds

    They are very cool! Must get for the nerd cave! Toys R Us can be pains with street dates, they dont care.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Yep, that's pretty much what they told my friend. This whole thing has been a disgrace.
      Luckily other stores are pulling through with some stock. I'm hearing Target should be getting shipments over the next week or two.

    • @movienerds
      @movienerds 7 років тому

      They are very good with a catalogue price match. even if the stock is in clearance at another store. Got my Hero series X-WIng and Falcon for under $20 that way! Do you have much of a collection?

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  7 років тому

      Yeah, I'll give them that! I've had them price match plenty of stuff before.
      I've been collecting Star Wars stuff since I was about 8... so close to 18 years.
      These 40th Anniversary figs are my first Black Series though!
