Well, it was awesome to see the Zillo beast again, but I didn’t care for Dr. Hemlock. Don’t really see how cloning Zillo beasts is relevant to anything, but ok. I agree it has been sort of all over the place, but mostly enjoyable. Hope they have some kind of ending planned out at this point and aren’t just making it up as they go anymore.

Whew, this is definitely a low point in the history of the line. The price, character selection etc is super underwhelming. Not only am I not buying this at full price, I went back and canceled my preorder for the other Carbonized 2-pack too, because it’s just gotten too crazy.

No intentions of buying either of those at full price, gonna hold out for a steep discount. There almost nothing that’s worth buying at the retail price anymore, except for maybe some exclusives.

It occurred to me today that this is exactly the same kind of crap they pulled at the end of the Clone Wars line, lazy repaints, repacks, halfassed inaccurate designs, etc. Not saying the writing is on the wall for the Black Series, but they’re sure treating it that way.

I got a shipping notice from EE too, for both Mara Jade and Dr Aphra, estimated arrival is 3/2.  :)

I’ll start with the unreleased Clone Wars figures that were rumored before the line ended prematurely:

1) PONG KRELL
2) RAKO HARDEEN
3) SPIDER MAUL
4) SHADOW MAGNA GUARD
5) SHOCK TROOPER
6) TACTICAL DROID KRAKEN

Most of those are likely tooled up already someplace, in one stage at least.

Ones I WISH we could get from the Clone Wars:

7) ADMIRAL TRENCH
8) SISTER
9) BROTHER
10) FATHER
11) SUGI
12) LATTS RAZI
13) UMBARAN SOLDIER
14) PYKE
15) ZIRO THE HUTT

And finally from REBELS:

16) GOVERNOR PRYCE
17) EIGHTH BROTHER
18) AP-5
19) SAW GERRERA
20) AHSOKA TANO

Did you get an email that had tracking or did it show it had shipped in your actual GS account?
I have received two emails and four notifications from the GS app that mine shipped but nothing that actually shows me details that it shipped?

Funny you should ask that, I got a shipping notice earlier in the week with the original order # but no tracking info. When I looked the order up it the item just showed as Awaiting Availability or something like that. So yeah, same deal as you sounds like. I hope that is not how they are handling these from now on though, I like being able to track my stuff.

I just got another of those emails last night too, probably for the Battle Droid, so I guess it will just show up out of the blue one day soon…

Damn good episodes this week…strong Clone Wars vibes throughout. Ian is so money.

I can’t help but think how amazing it would be if this show had its own dedicated 3.75” animated line.  :-\

Awesome! Where did you pick up the custom DROIDS figures? I’ve been meaning to do that myself, figure the quality has probably gotten pretty good at this point.

I was tempted but the price tag was 85 pounds, which feels a little high to me. Those Ewoks look amazing though!

Hey Rob, thought you might be interested to know that NeMA Studios is producing a custom Gorax figure from the Ewok TV Special. It’s supposed to go up for sale tonight or tomorrow I think. No info on their website yet, I just saw a Facebook post about it.

The thing looks rad though, probably right up your alley. I am planning to get one too if the price isn’t too high.  :)

I feel like everything is just sort of wasting time until they get to whatever Wanda Sykes’ character is supposed to be about…that was way too random of a cameo not to be significant.

EE has a deal for a free (random) Black Series figure and free shipping if you purchase $69 worth of merchandise (before shipping and tax).  Promo code is: 2103222

I've used it twice now.  I don't really collect 6" anymore, but free is free and if I already have the figure, I can give it away.

Which ones did you get? Finn and Zuvio?  :D

I’ve gotten a bunch of staff lately in the mail. Axe Woves, Migs, Aayla, Darth Maul, Grogu, etc. they are all really nice figures, and thankfully still in the old style packaging.

Got a shipping notification for the Walmart exclusive Boba Fett (Tython maybe?) recently too, this was my oldest outstanding preorder I believe.
