In Asda Toryglen last night, and much to my surprise, the hunt for the Stormtrooper came to an end at last...

I've been reading about these as there are sets affair around now for decent prices, how intrusive are the white bits of paper in the bubbles? Are they behind the figure or folded underneath like Transformers? Behind. -Ralph

Still, they cost more.

So incredibly tempted. But I fear going down the rabbit hole. The flood gates will open and I'll be buying black series anniversary cardback figures too.

Sounds like Hasbro have had requests for single packed cases to meet demand.

I can report today that the many, many Retro Star Wars figures not long arrived in Asdaland have been wiped out other than Leia. Sales remain, er, brisk during the Chaos Bugger. Maybe folk are consoling themselves with dodgy action figures if they can't get loo rool.

Buying for the long isolation ahead... opening toys will wile away the lockdown hours. I still have yet to buy the retro figures, but I did start a second 'mini display' of Black Series figures recently due to a sale. I'm trying not to go headlong into Black Series, but have enjoyed putting together a couple of strictly Episode 4 'scenes':
Star Destroyer Scene: Vader & Rebel Trooper in the middle, Death Star Commander & 2x Stormtroopers on one side, Tarkin & Leia on the other. Tatooine Scene: Luke & T34 speeder, Ben Kenobi, C-3PO, 2x Jawas.
I need an R2 for the second one and I'm done, although the Generic Hoth rebel figure and the Probot has me itching to do a Hoth scene. I had that Han/Probot playset as a kid that had the handle that made the Probot pop. I would also add a Chewie/Han combo to the ep4 display if I could find a Han in the right clothes.

I was quite pleased to be able to pick up a cheap Vader and Probot set when the Entertainer was clearancing them a little while back. Much as I'm generally unimpressed by the Force Link gimmick, this is the one toy that I don't mind so much. "Bam ba la bip bip. Bam ba la bip bip..."
