Adam Pawlus' latest Q&A is teasing Star Wars (I think) goodness coming next year.

At the very bottom he states:
There are a lot of things to enjoy, but it's increasingly rare to have anything that knocks my socks off after several decades following this stuff. (Also, I have had my socks knocked off by something I can't talk about, you'll know it when you see it.) More announcements are expected in the coming weeks, why they're spreading them out I don't know, but they are, so stay tuned. But next year, you're going to want to sock away some cash for next year. Skip the soda with lunch, start putting money in a toy jar. I had a really good vague thing to say but it might be too good a clue, so just set aside some money already.

Part of his title is "Sent to Spy on a Cuban Talent Show", which according to Google is a lyric from "Havana Affair" by the Romones.  Not sure if that is relevant or if he was just listening to some 70s punk when he wrote this.

Anybody got any good speculation?  I know people speculate that there is more to come on Return to Tatooine based on the photos that have been released and tracks in the Tatooine sand.

If I only had some Andor figures it would make a great Ferix / Rix Road background…

I don't feel like I need that, but I like it.

Same.  Seems like maybe this is more for people that didn’t get the cantina?   

I do think this sort of semi generic layout could work well as a mos Espa or Andor background.

Hasn't NYCC been a total afterthought the past handful of years?

Remember when we would get Kenner/Hasbro Star Wars exclusive figures and it was a big deal?

It could be the randomness of scheduling production at a factory in China and scheduling a ship to haul it to the US.  It could be that capacity unexpectedly opened up and everything moved faster than expected.

My guess is that they would aim to be more conservative than say it'll come in September and have it show up in January and have a bunch of fanboys whining about how late things are.

I too don't like having stored financial information "out there", but the newer eBay payment system has been seamless.  Fees are still high overall, but the payment system works smoothly.

That's actually not too bad for EE.  Still more than Hasbro Pulse and Amazon.

I had been wondering about their program as the last handful of Star Wars DVDs that I bought (Andor, Mando, Kenobi) didn’t have codes in them.

Just got an email from Disney that they’re ending Disney Movie Insiders program in December. Not sure where I’m going to get movie posters anymore.

If anyone has points you need to use them by Dec 4th.

As you mentioned, still waiting on Dryden Vos and its only been 8 years for the main bad guy in the film to be made.

What are the other ones?

Was BoBF ever supposed to be more than one season?  I haven't heard anything on Ahsoka but I thought they had hoped to do another season.

I'm still for a wave of six figures from any new media that ideally is timed to come out within a few months of the show's release. 

I go back and forth on this.  One of the major reasons I stopped collecting comic book figures was "incomplete team syndrome" where they do like 80% of a team and move on without completing it.  I HATE when this happens in the Star Wars line too.  Like, don't bother giving me TVC Indara and Yord if I'm not also getting Jecki and Kelnacca and Torbin to fill out the shelf.  My OCD just hates that.

Just to be clear I'm not advocating for only six figures per media property, EVER.  I think its a good place to start with a case of 8 figures where you can put a couple army builders/repacks in a case along with six new ones.

After the first six you could go back and ideally fill in any "incomplete teams" in later waves.

I just want enough core figures to be able to do something with.  Andor pains me with its two Cassians and a Vel.  Those two were hardly even in that many scenes together.

I don't really care if a show is cancelled or not if I'm looking for cool Star Wars stuff to add to the shelf.  BoBF was stupid, but I'd take the six coolest figures from that show.  They may not make another season of Ahsoka and I'll take the six best figures from that show.  Same goes for the Acolyte.

I can have a little corner of a shelf for each show's content, or if it makes sense I could incorporate it in to another shelf where it sort of makes sense.  For example I probably wouldn't feel bad about having The Acolyte figures sit in a corner of a Prequel Trilogy shelf.

While I'm good with the cancellation I kinda hope the story can get wrapped up via comics/novels or maybe even a short animated bit (e.g. Tales of the Jedi/Empire) as I don't like the loose ends.
