I really dig this set.  Bought one now and may buy more just for the attachments if it goes on sale...

Feels like VC375 has to be Han.

Based off today's reveals...

VC371 Cobb Vanth [2025]
VC372 TBA
VC373 Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi [2025]
VC374 TBA
VC375 TBA
VC376 Hammerhead [2025]

So the pipeline Han and Chewie are probably VC372 and VC374?  So what do they have planned for VC375? 

Deluxe Luke Skywalker with all the "ANH Luke" accessories that the DLX Landspeeder Luke was missing (Blast Helmet, Training Remote, T-16 toy, etc)?
Deluxe Darth Vader with ITO Driod, mouse droid, etc?
Vac-metal C-3PO?

Any guesses?

It is interesting to see they managed to get the new Hammerhead onto a standard card, w/ a standard bubble. It is almost like the regular version didn't need to be a Deluxe figure at all...

That extra hand, drinking glass, POTF2 homage blaster, and Saga 2006 homage spear must cost a lot more than we think...

81
Gonna need a 4-pack of that Sandtrooper. 

I have to believe that a single card release and a trooper 4-pack must be in the works to get us the white and black pauldron variants...

What's the deal with the Stormtrooper?  Just because?

They must be selling well enough to justify it.  Most of mine seem OK so far.  I wonder if it was an issue with one version, where that one got too hot on a shipping container to the US or something.

Do you know which variation is turning yellow?  From the original Walmart run (2022), the second run of the Walmart exclusive at EE (2023), the mainline release on the new cardback (2024)?

82
Anything new about the Sandtrooper?

Uses the newest Stormtrooper sculpt as a base with new backpack, pauldron, left leg, belt, abdomen armor (lower torso), new gun (RT-97C).

83
Does the Cantina Adventure Set come as a carboard playset, or is it just the four repainted figures?  Not sure I need repaints of these...

Yes, it comes with the cardboard backdrop, which they recreated by scanning the original Kenner piece.  I might buy one to display on it's own and a second to just mix these repaints into my HasLab Cantina set-up...




Disappointed that there still aren't any more Andor releases announced.

Jayson has two "Andor" slots in his rumor list for the rest of the year, so don't hold your breath for too much from Andor S2 anytime soon.


Wonder what the price point will be?

Empire Trooper 3-Pack = $49.99
Cantina Adventure Playset = $64.99

According to the Hasbro PR details...

give us an Amazon 4-Pack of TVC carded Ponda, Greedo, Momaw, and Takeel in Kenner deco colors.  And a Hasbro Pulse 6-pack of Cantina Band Members using the new TVC Figrin D'an figure as the base.

Thank You, Hasbro, for eventually doing both of these, which I assume you did because I asked for them and for no other reason.  Thank You.

Finally got my Shin and Baylan yesterday and today Amazon shipped my VC353 Mandalorian Super Commando.

Kinda funny that Obi-Wan and Yord were the first two pre-orders from this wave back in Oct-24 but the other 4 that were pre-ordered in Jan-25 all got shipped before them.

Remember that D23 exclusive 2024 Star Tours Starspeeder 3000 set?

Well, Disney is releasing a repaint for May the 4th - https://gizmodo.com/disney-store-star-tours-starspeeder-1000-price-release-date-2000596870

This time they are calling it the 2025 Disney Star Tours Starspeeder 1000.  It sounds like it still has the stand and the electronics, but no more Captain Rex (who is still selling for around $100+ on ebay carded).  Instead this version has a Droid Factory sculpt C-3PO.  The voice phrases in the electronics reflect this as well - no more RX-24 lines, but C-3PO instead.

Here is the link:
http://www.disneystore.com/star-tours-starspeeder-1000-vehicle-play-set-star-wars-417148221660.html

Link is supposed to go live 11am ET/8am PT on Sunday, May 4th.

Coming this Friday...

And where did we hear about Rhydonium before? Was it Rebels or Bad Batch or something? I knew it rang a bell somehow.
I guess I'm not as attentive as some because Rhydonium has been in Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch and now Andor.

I remember it best from The Mandalorian, Season 2 (Morak Refinery).  That Morak episode did a great job showing how volitile it is and how the Empire has weaponized it as well as using it as fuel.

I read this morning that Gilroy did try to get Jimmy Smits but the scheduling just didn’t work. I hate recasting but Benjamin Bratt was a pretty awesome choice.

I also read this morning that Gilroy tossed Bail into Ep6 so we'd all react and talk about the recasting now and get it out of the way before we get into more Bail in the next arc next week.  Pretty smart move to get it out of the way in a short bit like the party.
