Same thing! I'm excited about it, and coincidentally, great day to do it!

The ship was approximately 4.5 miles above the planet, not in orbit. How far did they chase that bird for? Could have been longer than that for sure.

Lol that no one turned out to be a spy after a week of wildly improbably fan theories bombarding my FB feed. Now im stuck with 50 different Moff Gideon-is-not dead threads.  ::)

My only disappointment is that I really, really did think the very final scene of the season was gonna be Bo riding that Mythosaur. Maybe next season?

While some Mythosaur riding would have been pretty epic in theory, I think if she rolled up riding a giant beast the whiny and toxic side of the fan base would have been like "WTF Bo KAtan Mary Sue riding her WOKE mythosaur is just copying BoBA FeTT from BOBF on tha RANCOR!!!!!! Favreau and Filoni have no more original ideas WTF ROTFLMAO!!!!1!!!!!!11!!

EE has a free shipping code for orders over $35, and you can find that right in the masthead. I ordered a couple Piett figures and used TVC Stormtroopers to get it over the line for free shipping. Win win.

I just see the FreeShip59 code on the masthead.  Weird.

Oh sorry,  I guess it is $59, not $35. Still, the Stormtroopers are still a good way of pushing the order into free shipping territory.

I got my case of this wave last week, and I finally got around to opening it up.  Overall I think it's a great wave.  But having 6 characters in an 8 figure case is just killing me.  Since I got back into collecting both carded and loose figures I am looking for a minimum of 2 of each figure.  And this case mix presents 4 x characters who are all single packed.  Thankfully one of those is a carryforward in Cal Kestis.  But Piett and the Clone Trooper?  Come on!  And I was not going to order 2 of these cases in order to make good on that.

I see that EE is now offering single figures of Admiral Piett.  But I can't find him listed at either Hasbro Pulse or Amazon, and I will not pay EE's ridiculous shipping fees.  I'm hoping that other retailers are going to have this wave soon so that it's possible to pick up some single figures.

So far I've only opened up Cassian (Aldhani) and Hunter.  They're both solid offerings.  Hunter comes across as a little bit stylized, but it works.  And I fully expect a Clone Commando figure to be based on this buck in the not so distant future.

Cassian is reasonably well done.  The issue with the boots is annoying.  But the easy thing that Hasbro could have done with this figure that they didn't?  The should have included the E10 blaster rifle.  The tooling exists, and this accessory really should have been included with Cassian.

EE has a free shipping code for orders over $35, and you can find that right in the masthead. I ordered a couple Piett figures and used TVC Stormtroopers to get it over the line for free shipping. Win win.

Want to make it a good ROTJ wave?  Throw in Sim Aloo, or an Ewok that hasn't been made before, or a new Jabba goon that hasn't been made before...

He's not a never-before made character, but I'd **** my pants for a Squidface that was given the same level of love as last year's Bib Fortuna.

That said, I really need a Fozec before the line ends.

Just re-reading this thread while I obsess—and gently freak out—over the lack of preorders for this wave, but it's kind of nice to see the Squidface I was wishing for actually happening (though not in this wave). I didn't exactly **** my pants as promised, but I was really ******* happy. Let's hope Fozec gets his action figure debut soon.

Onto the topic though, I'm really annoyed that they decided not to do preorders for these guys, especially since they're still totally doing preorders for figures before and after these. I do actually want a few of the Han and a few Vaders as well, and the idea of trying to hunt these down is killing my Squidface afterglow.

Me too! It would have saved me a ton of time!  ;D

I was surprised how easy it was to order this time. I guess I should cancel the single-carded Tusken now.

The Black Series 3.75 one is the same sculpt, but the paint is better on the Khetanna version. It's a great sculpt though. I bought a BS Jabba on eBay a while back and repainted it for my display. I have some standalone photos, but I'm in a meeting at the moment, so I can't mess around with the photo hosting stuff.

I just got one from Tunghori last week. It's out of stock now, but he seems to get them from time to time.

Is it safe to assume that you’re talking about R5-D4?

Yes, sorry, should have clarified. I grabbed an R5-D4 and a Death Star Droid last week. He still has the listing, but it's out of stock at the moment. I'd been watching it for a few weeks and grabbed one when it came back in stock.

Totally agree, I can put a random Gran into plenty of areas in my display. But since Ree Yees was recently released in the trophy alcove playset, they really should have gone with Nysad, who is pretty pricey on the secondary market, and a need for the palace AND the Sail Barge.

From what I read over the weekend, the analysis from people who follow all the behind-the-scenes stuff points to the storyline that Favreau had planned out relied heavily on the plotline for Cara Dune / Rangers of the New Republic, and once she was kicked out of the franchise against his wishes, Favreau basically threw up his hands and put in as little effort as possible to correct course. So I guess that goes a long way to explain why everything seems to be a jumbled mess as far as the season's overarching storyline.

With Favreau running the show and writing the lion's share of the episodes himself, I do expect storylines to mesh and have some kind of consistency of quality...but I guess that's not going to be the case so much if he was forced to excise a main character after the fact and didn't want to play ball, I can understand how things got sloppy.

I'm not sure how much stock I put in that rumor.  Because it sounds like something that would come out of certain circles of "fandom" that use the term "Disney Star Wars" as a pejorative.

Agreed.

I'm so ******* excited for Squidhead I could flip over my desk. I bought 2 of those packs...pricey, but I need that guy. And the other guys. But not Ree Yees, because I have a few of him, and I've seen Shabby Blue's site and I know what's going on there.
