I know, and I have yet to see ANY of those in stores.
Lol. Could be like my wedding photographer (who I discovered was a HUGE SW fan after I asked if they were okay with photographing us and our lightsabers
) who has a standing order of one of every single one produced (all the figs that is not just black series) and an entire room dedicated just to those
Best bet if you want to find that kind of stuff- find yourself a good local supplier, and hit up your local toy and collectors fairs/ swap meets/ whatever they call them there. We get almost all of our model kits from the one store, and because we are really good customers I automatically get one of each SW bandai model set put aside for me and messaged to let me know its arrived, and he lets us know about new models into store that he thinks we will like before advertising to the general public, and he usually does pretty good prices on stuff. Sure, I could get some of them on Ebay direct from Japan cheaper, but I like to support a local, and he has gone from being just an online store who turned up at the toy fairs, to operating out of the front room of a house with a small shop, to having just moved into decent sized shop front- and with the support of big Asian sponsors they also run a local con and he is planning to run build days one or twice a month for people to come in and socialise and work on their models.
He got in a set of Halo figurines we've been wanting but we hadn't told him, held them off show for a bit, told us about them and did them for half the price as a Boxing Day special (a bit like your Black Friday, except it is the day after Christmas here) except we got them before then and he sold them stupidly cheap compared to anywhere else
He also does regular trips to Japan and will actively keep an eye out for kits you are chasing and get them for you
He looks after the local community, and we look after and are loyal to him
works both ways! But if you can find yourself someone great like that, then it's a great way to get what you want.... and spend an awful lot of money....
