I'm betting it's a ship.  Which? No idea, but if they went with the Marauder, then they could finish out the rest of the Bad Batch

Could be a new U-Wing to go with all of the awesome Andor figures they've made and have pipelined  ;D

I'm personally just fine with the U-Wing we've got right now.  I know its way small, and there isn't a lot to it, but I don't need something twice as big and slightly fancier for $400.

Ugh.  I just hope it’s not something completely enormous.

Agreed.  Unless its a modular Death Star  >:D    Although Jayson's note is that the Haslab is a vehicle (not a playset).

I think The Ghost is kinda cool, but its just way too big.  I've got a twinge of collectors remorse on this one.  In retrospect I could have probably passed on this and still been perfectly content.

I do love the Barge (even though its huge) as it works as a playset as well.  I've got a ton of figures crammed in there along with skiffs to create a nice display.  I don't feel like I can do that with The Ghost.

I'd much rather see a TIE Advanced or something much more modest in size.  If they want it to be more expensive, just include a pile of unique figures.

Got my Asajj today.  I didn't really need another Asajj, but she turned out fantastic.

Yeah.  It looks great, but I wish they put this effort in to an all new figure we don't already have other good versions of.  Still so many good never been made options from Andor, Solo, the ST, etc.

For The Ghost, there were a lot of people who got the "shipped" notice and tracking number but it took a while for the tracking number to show up in the FedEx app, sometimes not even until the delivery day because of the way that Hasbro drop shipped them in bulk to some larger cities.

As I recall I didn't get a shipped notice until later in the day it was delivered, so it was handy to have the FedEx tracking info as that had useful information once The Ghost arrived at a local distribution center.

However Hasbro manages the drop shipping it was pretty weird, I think especially in the larger cities where they were drop shipped to.  It wasn't like the normal process where you get a notification that your item ships, you track it, and it shows up.  It was totally backwards. 

Ideally you've got your FedEx account set up and you can go see if a shipping label has been created or not.  I think most of us had a shipping label created that existed for a couple of weeks before The Ghost showed up.

Sweet.  I just got a "your item is about to ship" notice from Pulse for this.

Oh wait.  I guess 70 days from now, September 1st is their version of "about to ship".   ??? ??? ::)

My guess is once these are released there will be more available that people can order, including at ShopDisney.

Got one too.  I guess they were just a few minutes late.

Is this a Pulse exclusive?  I'm guessing so but haven't seen it called out specifically in posts here.

Reminder:  Pre-orders for this item will open again at Hasbro Pulse today at 1pm ET. 

Not sure how many more units will be made available so be sure to set your alarms and be logged in and ready if you still need it...

For the reposting of pre-orders, are they doing the 1PM for Premium members and 2PM for the unwashed masses (like me)?  Or is that just for the new, new items like Darth Vader's TIE?

11
So no new figures shown?  No further information on previously pipelined figures (e.g. Han and Chewie)? 

I'm not going to even ask about Andor figures...

Does anyone have a sense of scale on this?  Is it essentially just a fancier version at the same scale as the previous $20 version?  That price is pretty crazy and probably pumped up by the Vader we don't need and extra wing panels.

I would have much preferred that if they're going to do an all new sculpt to do something like the TIE Avenger from Andor.

13
Thanks Jeff.  Sounds like I'll pass for now and think about it if the price drops.

I'm still interested to see photos to see if there are any meaningful variants included, or if its just four copies of what I've already got.

Side note - I'd still like to see Hasbro take on some of the newer Gamorreans - like the pit fighters in TM season 2, or Boba Fett's guards.

They could easily do a 4-pack of these guys with different axes and slightly different soft goods.  I buy one of these in a heartbeat.
