Figured. I was reading one of those totally useless click bait articles where people write in stories about embarrassing events or scandals in school or what not. And there was an ad picture of past boxes but they also had a han on the tauntaun standing next to the other item and I was like wtf spoiler. It should be here tomorrow or Friday so no biggie.

I checked mine too, and it says it has shipped! When I checked the DHL tracking, it was supposed to arrive yesterday. But they also had that notice that their tracking was messed up. So maybe today?

Updated and now it will be here Saturday...I still expect it to arrive earlier than that.

Yeah, earlier today the DHL tracking said arrives tomorrow, then refreshed it this afternoon and it updated to next Wednesday. Ah well.

Mine shipped on Friday from Anaheim and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I think DHL is walking things up to Northern California. Maybe using bike messenger or pony express lol

Can't wait to get this box - so looking forward to it!

Postby **edmomo** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 5:18 pm

aw man.. i've been lurking on insta reddit and anywhere else to see the box live. i think mine is still a couple days out.

Postby **funko_vinz** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:24 pm

I just checked. I don't get mine till 1/21... dang it.

Yeah who knows...still says 1/24 delivery but now I can see that USPS has it in Phoenix. A shame they wouldn't let me just drive down there and pick it up myself lol

. I would guess it should be here tomorrow, BUT I think the same thing happened last time and USPS messed around for a few days before delivering

I really don't know why these things sit for days at different sorting centers. I think the USPS and DHL are obligated to have these packages take 10-14 days to get anywhere in the U.S. by using this cheaper Globegistics shipping option.

1/21 for me also.

Postby **treswright** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 6:13 pm

Mine showed today, soooooo awesome!

The detail is incredible. Very nicely done.

Spoiler: show

I posted these on IG but not everyone is on there so:

"Do I know you from somewhere? You look really familiar. "

I only live three hours from the point of origin and it takes a week to get here thanks to the DHL to USPS handoff. Slowest shipping method I've ever experienced.

Postby **powderkid28** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 1:08 am

I live 2 hours south of the point of origin. I am now 2 hours north of where my box is. It went from Chicago area to St. Louis when I live halfway between them.

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 10:29 am

Shipping has me getting mine Tuesday. Hopefully it won't go all over the east coast and take another week.

Postby **Megacam** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 10:58 am

hoping to get mine today!

Postby **eljefe81** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 11:32 am

Jealous of you all! Mine still says 1/24. Even though DHL says they are in Phoenix right now, tendered to USPS

Postby **rdgmjv11** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 3:06 pm

Got mine today. Love the Tauntaun but was meh on the other items. Looking forward to the next one!

No, but I was surprised the head on the Taun Taun doesn't. :-"

Mine is scheduled for Monday, but always arrives early. This time, it has been stuck in St. Louis for 2 days going on 3.

Postby **Megacam** » Sat Jan 21, 2017 12:13 pm

mine's been pushed back 3 days

Postby **POPHawk** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 10:29 am

The POP looks really amazing :cheers:

I have to wait a week now, not gonna make it lol

Postby **newhousebailey** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:20 pm

This is definitely one of the best boxes yet. I personally love the socks and was impressed with how soft and cute the wampa is. My daughter claimed him instantly and has been toting him around the neighborhood in our wagon selling girl scout cookies. Well done on this one Funko. Well done.

Postby **Divino** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 1:49 pm

My package hasn't moved since 1/17. I love DHL SO MUCH!

Mine is still stuck in St. Louis with the USPS. This will be the first box to arrive late for me.

Postby **eljefe81** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 4:52 pm

The DHL page still says delivery on 1/24 (tomorrow) for me, but if I click the USPS tracking number it still says waiting on delivery from DHL. Kinda doubt I'll get it tomorrow, but we'll see.

Postby **SuMo** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 5:14 pm

I expect my box to arrive today. I can't wait. I keep checking my tracking to see if delivered yet.

Is it Girl Scout cookie time already? I saw someone with this wampa, and it is soooooo soft and cute. I'm glad I never bought the one I had seen at Barnes and Noble the other year.

Wow, I've been avoiding this post (since I was already spoiled by some people here forgetting their spoiler tags before the box was released!) and I see everyone else's boxes were delayed as well. And here I thought everyone was in here celebrating and I was the unlucky loser, lol

. My box sat in the DHL/USPS void from Thursday to Sunday when it finally updated while I was on hold with USPS trying to figure out what was going on. It usually goes right through that hub. I actually had another package, a poster, take 10 days to get to NY from Missouri, so there are obviously some problems in the world of package delivery at the moment.

Anyway, I have mixed feelings about the other items in the box. The plush was super soft, but I agree didn't look quite right. Still, I put him in my Dr. Strange mug next to Boba Fett who's in my Jabba mug

The socks were a cute idea, and I generally like cute socks, but these were thin and had that restrictive top band. Reminded me of the BB8 ones from loot crate. Nice idea, but didn't execute quite as well as I'd hoped. I also wonder about sizing. T-shirt size doesn't exactly equal sock size! Anyway, if Funko is reading this, I would buy the crap out of ankle sock multipacks! As long as they're a little thicker. And I agree, I would have loved a shirt or a beanie! The patch and pin were well done, if you have use for them.

In the end, this box was about the pop and it is indeed worth the price of admission. The extras were honestly extras in this case, but I was a little disappointed in them.

My box came yesterday. A WHOLE day early. WOO! The shipping box was soggy but nothing inside was damaged. YAY! I love everything in it. :freddy2:

Postby **hailmary25** » Tue Jan 24, 2017 9:53 am

If anyone does not want their pin or dont care for collecting them please PM me.

Postby **TheBoilerman** » Tue Jan 24, 2017 4:04 pm

I have it! Not going to bother with spoiler tags, so...

The pin is a great shot of Lando. The pins are almost always cool. The patch has a really cool 3d feel to in certain light. In other light, the colors wash and it's kinda blurry. But, it's a nice Yoda patch, so win!

The socks are excellent. I have relatively small feet, so I wasn't concerned with fit and they fit great. A nice, new set of dress socks for church. I can finally retire my thread-bear Taz socks that I've been wearing for the past 2 decades. (I don't really wear them that often, but still, over 20 years!)

The plush is fantastic! I'm likely going to give it to one of the grandkids, but it'll be hard to part with. Soooooo soft!

The Pop. I had a space ready for it on the shelf, but it's way bigger than I imagined. It is centerpiece material. It really needs to be front-and-center so it can be shown off. Funko really outdid themselves this time. I hope we see more "deluxe" Pops in other lines. Did I mention its huge? It is.

By far my favorite Smuggler box. I really wanted to like the SB sub, but I just couldn't get behind most of the boxes, but this one is fan-freakin-tastic.

If anyone doesn't want the socks, one pair will only last me 20ish years...

Postby **odnar** » Tue Jan 24, 2017 4:28 pm

I picked mine up from the PO yesterday and two thumbs up for the POP and the plush. :cheers:

The patch, pin and socks were gravy for me. I'm not sure it's my favorite SB box but it's up there.

Postby **edmomo** » Tue Jan 24, 2017 4:29 pm

my han taun got delivered to my mailbox... got lost in the DHL/USPS transfer and been waiting for days. Hope it survived shipping alright.

glad everyone else is receiving it too.
