I got both sets in the mail today. Below are some pics of the Ewoks... I won't bore everyone with the pilots.





Here's the whole mainline tribe, from 2007 to now:

Their search feature eats dick.

I don't think it's a ****** search feature, since the items weren't even in the Star Wars category/section for the last few days. It seemed like TRU.com was trying to hide them. I honestly thought they had been removed from the site until I was advised to use the direct link this morning.

Not sure if anyone posted this, but I read these sets were priced at $46 at a Florida TRU. Maybe a price hike will cause these sets to hang around a bit longer, but hopefully the price doesn't keep increasing like those Endor sets from a couple years ago.

I was able to get a price adjustment from TRU.com on my order for three of the multipacks. On Thursday they didn't qualify for the 20% off promotion, but yesterday I noticed the sale was being advertised on the product pages (with the sets still out of stock) so with one email I was able to get a nice little refund. Quick and easy!

As for the Logray head on Teebo, it doesn't bother me as much as the hideous gap at the waist or the lack of bow & arrows for the one Ewok with a quiver. It still sucks that the original head wasn't released though... it looked awesome. I'm not as grumpy when it's normal-sized figures having some errors (like the pilots using the Luke body) but for tiny little Ewoks, at the same price as regular figures, Hasbro should be going all-out.

They had these sets up on Toysrus.com very breifly this morning. I manage to get my order in for 1 Ewok set. Had the pilots in my cart for a moment before deciding against it for now. I kind of have a feeling that the pilots won't be that hard to come by once these things hit in force. That and it's kind of boring in comparison to the ewoks.

I was able to get two Ewok sets and a pilot set. I had the same reservations about the pilot set, but since the closest TRU is thirty or so minutes away I just went ahead and got it now. It beats wasting the time and gas looking for it at the store, or having to worry about meeting a free shipping goal online at some later date.

Despite being a mere repaint, the Sandtrooper figure from this wave really impressed me, and has become one of my favorite figures of the year. The new blaster with folding stock and sentry droid are nice touches, but the paint apps are where the figure really shines. The weathering is nearly perfect, and is varied enough on my three figures that they all look different. I can't wait to get a few of the black pauldron version next year.

But Amazon isn't reliable for carded collectors. For everyone that got their order in pristine, unpunched condition, someone else got a padded envelope with a bunch of stuff crushed.

I can't take that chance for that price. I have to see what I am buying.

I seem to recall the crushed stuff mailed in envelopes being from a UK seller and not Amazon itself. I ordered three figures from Amazon just a few weeks ago, and they were unpunched and packed well in a box.

Finally got a chance to open up my Kmart AT-ST and I'll confirm some of the reports on the legs.  My AT-ST's legs are wobbly as all get out.  It took me three or four tries to find a point where it will stand on it's own.  The paint job is awesome, but the legs sort of bum me out a bit. 

The legs are definitely a softer/weaker plastic, which does kind of suck. I'm glad the legs aren't brittle so the joints shouldn't crack easily like with the last two releases, but it's considerably harder to balance the toy in a standing position.
