Scout Report / Re: ESB Retro Will They come to Canada?« on: June 01, 2020, 11:56:37 AM »May seem like a really odd question - but any chance you’re an Uncle Scrooge (McDuck) fan? Hahahaha... ok... I’ve just never heard the term, “stars and garters” used outside of Carl Barks’ Uncle Scrooge comics before and thought I’d found a kindred spirit! 4

Scout Report / Re: USA Address with forwarding capabilities to Canada« on: April 23, 2020, 10:56:34 AM »
Aren’t items still crossing the border if shipped from Dorkside or other US vendors? My understanding is that the mail was still going through internationally - just slower that usual.

Off Topic / Re: Outbreak! (Coronavirus discussion)« on: March 20, 2020, 08:26:26 AM »Hi guys ..... My wife, son and I are here in Florida. My daughter is out in BC, but we are flying her home on Tuesday. We have been here in Florida for 2.5 weeks. At the beach people are not practicing social distancing. This includes all age groups young and old. The Clearwater attitude is not just at Clearwater. We have been staying away from people and using objects to open doors and push buttons. Our extended outside of country health care will be cut off March 22nd. We decided the best way to get home was to rent a van and get it with a drop off in Canada. This way we avoid airports and grouping of people. Once we start driving we plan to stop no more than one evening in a hotel, but if my wife and I think we can do it safely we will keep on driving. We have just bought a YETI to bring home as much food as we can. We are not sure if the food will be taken at the border, but we are trying to have some food for when we get home. We have been hearing things can be hard to come by at home. I hope all you guys are safe at home, looking forward to being back in Canada as soon as possible. Hey CanadianJedi, A scary situation for sure. It sounds like you're doing your best in a very tough situation to take care of yourself and your family. I hope that your journey is a swift and safe one and that you're home soon. The grocery stores aren't as bad as they were, though I haven't been out in a couple of days now. If your food is taken at the border, consider ordering online for home delivery (if that's an option) or seeing if you have a neighbour who can buy something and drop it at the door. I'm not sure where you are (Ontario?), but if you're close by me I can see about picking stuff up for you to drop at the doorstep. Let me know either here or via a message on this site. Thinking of you; may the force be with you. 7
Scout Report / Re: Post Retail Finds of NEW PRODUCT Here!« on: March 18, 2020, 03:42:26 PM »
Had to go out for groceries today anyway, so I stopped in at my local Walmart. I’ve been trying to limit going out (like many of us, I assume), since my parents are a bit more on the frail side (in their 70s) and rely on me for their groceries and such and I’m worried about passing something on to them.
Toy aisle gave my heart a jump when I actually saw a Vintage card in the aisle... but it was a lone clone trooper. I know it’s a small thing in the grand scheme of it all, but man... left feeling so down about missing out on the wave. I feel stupid about letting it bother me; I think it’s just the general bleakness of everything in the world right now and the hope for small joys. In any event, I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and their loved ones. I don’t think I’ll be doing much toy hunting these days given the nature of things, but if I do find anything I’ll let you folks know. Stay safe. 8

Take care of yourselves and your loved ones, folks. Star Wars collecting is SERIOUS BUSINESS sometimes in terms of our gripes about Hasbro's questionable decisions and availability of certain figures, but in the grand scheme of things it's our health and communities that matter most.
I wish everyone well! 9
The Black Series 6" Figure Line / Re: Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Fan's Choice Vote« on: January 13, 2020, 07:05:08 PM »
Yep. It's been a very boring month or so as a collector, that's for sure.
I even stopped in on a Target and a Walmart when I was in Buffalo over the weekend... absolutely nothing new and, in fact, less selection than what we have here. No carbonized Mandalorians. No carbonized Jet Troopers. No Spirit Yoda figures. The only thing I saw in person that I've yet to see here was one of those dumb gold-painted two packs (Finn and Poe in this case). Needless to say, it remained on the shelf. Snore. 10

Scout Report / Re: Triple Force Friday October 4th, 2019« on: October 04, 2019, 04:05:20 PM »TRU I went to had no new BS figures but had all the other stuff. They did not have Poe's Xwing but had Luke's at $135. Too expensive for me. Really?!? They had Luke's? That's crazy... it's so weird to see such variation in what's available from store to store, even within the same chain (TRU). 13
