Awh thanks for the shoutout, Lukeness! Great tips all around. The only thing I'd add is to have patience! Not giving into scalping or otherwise expensive older items because Hasbro absolutely loves to rerelease figures. Good video! -Justin

GameStop is great, but another store that I LOVE is called BobaKhan, it’s in a small town outside of Seattle, they have old black series figures, and new black series, and very old figures from like the 1980s and 70s. They have marvel legends, mezco, transformers, neca, and a bunch of other things as well

Don't forget their's the black boxes with different color lines(red, orange and blue), as well as multipacks/exclusives(store and/or online). Here's a tip: Finding them in stores is all based on location. The West and East Coast always get them first. North and South always have to play this ridiculous waiting game and it could take months to get all of them. Comic book and specialty stores do carry them, but check their prices. Sometimes it can be expensive pending on the line or how much they are willing to sell you vs. how much you are willing to pay. When pre ordering, check the stores first before online. They will always help you get what you want, but don't wait. Sometimes pre orders will sell out fast depending on the character and if it's exclusive/limited. I never have ordered on social media, but I do watch Unusual Mike, Action Figure Grader and other youtube shows and their reviews are good. It helps me if this figure is worth getting. Another advice: Check in the clearance isles. Walmart/Targets, will sometimes, but not always have them on clearance. You have to be at the right place/time to get it. I never shop on Ebay, but I always trust Amazon. Ebay is like a betting site and you have to pay extra for shipping/handling. I trust Amazon. Also if you are a prime member, you get free shipping and every July they have their Prime sale and if you are lucky you can order as many as you want, however check for availablity.

Glad I found your channel! I’m disappointed KZitem didn’t recommend it to me before that 5k giveaway, that Echo is one of the expensive figures I hope to get one day! I’ve been collecting for a few months, but these tips are super helpful, with collector groups on Facebook and comic shops being most useful for me personally. Black Series are super fun to collect, and this guide is perfect for anyone trying to build up their own collection!

If a figure is expensive, you sometimes don't even need to wait for a re-release. I saw the og Mando for 20 USD today on ebay. I collect in sets, and how I will set them up on my shelf. I open box collect and I have TBS, Mcfarlane Mortal Kombat 11(storm collectibles too pricey to me), and then a small Neca section, a Marvel section, and a Dc section. I have ballpark 150 figures and have maybe 80 or so on my shelf. Figure boxes are worth keeping they get pricey. I should start making videos. Great video Luke!

NOTE: IF UR CANADIAN AND WANTING TO COLLECT, NEVER GO TO A CHAIN STORE. We don't have stores like Walgreens and our Walmarts and targets are soo bad that the only Black series figs are online for hundreds of dollars. As a Canadian, I would order from Amazon (There aren't many figures), Big Bad Toy Store, Hasbro Pulse, Dorkside, and eBay.

I just pre-order the carbonized scout trooper from target. It says for the three carbonize figures a target one per person I wanted at least two scout trooper‘s but at least I got one pre-ordered. I like the way the carbonized scout trooper looks because it’s not too fancy and it’s not too bad looking considering I want a basic scout trooper and not the one that GameStop was selling with the harness.

Buy 20-30 figures, give them to me for free! LOL Kidding! It is Super Hard Army Building! I have probably 30 Stormtroopers, and none of them match! I seem to have 2 or 3 of each kind. Perfect example is today, I got a Crimson Jet Trooper, a Shore Trooper, and the Hovercraft Trooper. Three Troopers of 3 different divisions. So while numbers wise I am starting to get a good Force, they look weird. Yes, you have to choose what you want. I am not buying Jawas, Droids, or Ewoks. I concentrate on Jedi, Sith, women, Stormtroopers, humans, Aliens, and Mandalorians! Walmart never has anything! I'm 90% online these days!
