International Report #1: Sweden

Posted by Paul | June 23, 2014 at 08:51 AM ET

JTA reader Mats J. from Sweden sends us another great update on what he is finding there! Click through for more!

Hello JTA!

I bring joy to this site once again and this time it´s 3 reports in one, don´t get me wrong there´s always joy here :)

Store report 1: So last time I sent in a report I told you about an error during checkout where I had to pay too much for some toys (http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/content/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=13430). So I sent a PM on Facebook to my contact and she said she would fix it the next time I was there. I had her put an TVC TIE Interceptor on hold for me for when I got there to fix it. Said and done I went back another day and after waiting for her to change out of their Darth Vader outfit, they had a Star Wars day with 25% off everything Star Wars. When she came out with my TIE Interceptor she told me that she got it this way and didn´t want to open it in case I wanted it sealed. And it was sealed in the same white Mail-Away box that you got when ordering from Amazon, yeah you read right, that´s how they got their TIE Interceptors and she thought I might want it in that box. I can tell you I was very happy to see it in such great condition. Then we went to pay for it and they returned the amount I paid to much, registered the Interceptor for 50% off (that was the sales price), then I got another 25% off that and instead of paying for it I got 10 SEK back and that Interceptor for "free". A very good day.

Store report 2: On the same day as my mothers funeral I went to get some bubblewrapper to pack her stuff and decided to stop by the toystore at that mall. There I found a CW Riot Control Clonetrooper in very good condition and I picked that one up without thinking twice ;) I paid full price for that one, but hey I can´t always get away with this stuff can I ;) I was also able to get a Star Wars LEGO Micro Fighters Display on hold for me and a few weeks later they called and I picked it up.

Store report 3: Again I sent a PM to my contact at TRU and asked if she could put some figures on hold for me for a later time and as always she was happy to help. So this Thursday I sent her another one to put another TIE Interceptor on hold for me to open for my loose collection and she did. And on Wednessday I went down there to pick everything up and I got 1 TVC TIE Interceptor still for 50% off, 1 TVC Republic Trooper and 4 TVC Ahsoka Tano´s. Paid full retail price for them but since it doesn´t look like that may people buy this stuff I do what I can. Now there are only those TPM figures left from wave 16 and I don´t think they well sell anytime soon hehe.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my TRU contact named Edona. Without all her help I would not be able to get so much cool stuff and I have paid my tribute to her on Facebook but I need to share this with JTA and the world. She has such energy and is always willing to help out this Star Wars geek with all his requests regarding Star Wars and always does it with a smile. It is because of her that I can get figures I need but also all those cool Star Wars displays. So without all her help I would truly be lost and I have sent her flowers two times just to show how much I appreciate all that she does for me. And now you all know too and for the first time I name her not just as my contact but my first name too. I can also say that everyone in that store knows how I am and when they see me they say: "Ah time for some more stuff again" ;)
