Star Wars Black Series

I just pulled out my holiday figs today too. Forgot how fun some of them are. Love the toy soldier Purge Trooper. Haven't grabbed this year's offerings yet, but I'm tempted to. Heck, I'd forgotten that I grabbed the white K2 unit a year or two ago. I think only displaying them for a short time each year has made me forget most of them, so it's a nice little surprise when I take them out.
 
I'm trying to pull my figures out today since Steph is decorating and bugging me to help (I'm kind of in a holiday funk and avoiding it, but getting these figures out will help I think). Only problem is I DEFINITELY reorganized all my Star Wars figures by "most likely to swap out in a display" this summer and these poor feckers are at the bottom of the stack of boxes.

I need to make sure I got the holiday Threepio already - he's discounted online this weekend and while I don't love paying full price for these guys, getting them for under 20 is a nice treat.

I put all the holiday SW figures I've gotten with my Naughty or Nice figures (Bumble Wookies, Nutcraker Troopers, Jawa Elves), so I know right where they are.

not being a jerk but I'm kinda surprised you didn't just get that Threepio anyway.

I fight buying these every damned year, and I definitely don't own all of them because of that. I tend to think one or two are amazing and try to ignore the rest and then see them discounted later and scoop them up, or add them to an order for free shipping or something.
 
I love the Christmas Black Series figures, but they were hard to get at first, with a few Walmart exclusives, so I’m missing a lot of them.

That one makes me laugh every time I see it because it's very cool but very subtle - using blue and white instead of red green and white for holiday colors is the giveaway.

I bought one of those for my daughters favorite teacher who is Jewish. I don't think we've given it to her yet.
 
My holiday Ewok is due today, great news. The bad news is it's being delivered by USPS so I get to deal with my sexually harassing mailman.

Dare I ask?

Do you have the option to have them deliver it without any sort of interaction? Pre-signing, having them leave it, etc.? Perhaps they were a little confused on what sort of package they're meant to handle, but one gentle-yet-firm rebuking (or, even better, a quick call/email to where they work) ought to handle it. Sorry you have to deal with that. We really can't have anything nice nowadays, can we?

That's the thing. No other delivery person rings the bell or hands off directly to me unless a signature is required.

He first did it a few weeks ago which I thought was odd. Then I looked down and noticed there was some activity going on in his pants. He made small talk for a minute and left. It was subtle enough that I convinced myself he was just very well endowed and that was all.

Fast forward to last Monday he hand delivers again. This time he spends at least 15 minutes on the porch asking me all sorts of questions. It is obvious he had a full on rager going on down there and if it wasn't obvious enough it really was when he continued to grab it with his hand, through his pants. His excuse for why he needed to talk to me was that he thought I had scheduled a package pick-up. I assured him I did not. It turns out from our conversation that he knows a former co-worker of mine from going into our work place. As soon as he left I texted said co-worker and asked about this guy and he told me all about how the guy did him the same way at work.

The whole thing feels like the beginning of a really bad porno with the mail carrier asking if I had called for a package pickup and all, but it wasn't even as sexy as that. It was just off-putting and uncomfortable and way too bold and gross.

My best friend is so pissed about it and he keeps threatening to call the local post office but I told him I'm afraid of retaliation with him knowing where I live and all.
 
Yuck. I'm so sorry. What a perv. Can't a guy just get his damn mail anymore without being harassed? A mail person trying to make small talk is already my worst introvert nightmare, I can't even imagine how I'd feel if all that happened.

I'd say definitely lodge a complaint. As much as I'd love to say telling the guy you're not interested would make it stop, we both know there's creeps out there who'd enjoy the challenge. I've feared the same in the past when it came to retaliation from reports I'd made, but thankfully it never happened- I think that's just our mental blockage stopping us from wanting to avoid conflict and starting a fuss. But you deserve better, and deserve to feel comfortable in your own home when getting something you ordered. Who knows who else he's doing it to?
 
I'm thinking about it still. I'd like to have video proof though. It would require moving my outdoor camera though which isn't the easiest undertaking.
