That's funny, he would appear to be a Separatist, but Hasbro clearly alluded to a Clone pack-in with this offer in the most recent round of Q&A.

Looks like he will make a bad-ass figure to me, either way.

Odd that RS didn't see fit to hype this on their own front page.

I scored one of these today - oh mamma.

Online or from a brick and mortar?

I was talking to a friend of mine who works at TRU at lunchtime and he said they actually got cases of the new vintage stuff on the truck today. He checked it out but they could not put them out until August 6th like the box indicates. Looks like they mean business with this street date stuff.

Still, at least it's shipping to the brick and mortars...I wonder when Target and K-Mart are due for theirs?

This is good to know, because I actually was considering sending away for a 3rd before the deadline tomorrow, but I guess there's no point now.

I'm hoping the Fall Mailaway is equally appealing...I have a feeling it is going to be that Sergeant Bric we've been hearing about.

Tough going trying to close out my vintage collection...I'm losing more auctions than I'm winning lately. I did persevere earlier tonight and come out on top in an auction for the vintage Sand Skimmer. VERY psyched about this one. They seem to be becoming somewhat elusive the past few months, fewer and fewer non-carded in circulation it seems. Pretty minty loose version I snagged, for a decent price as well. This just leaves the Imperial Sniper as the lone mini-rig on my list of remaining items to score. 

After realizing I could get free shipping with any order over $49, I went back and canceled my original order and re-submitted it with the new Clone Interceptor Tank thrown in to put me over the threshold. $60.83 total for 4 new TCW figures, plus the Vehicle. I figure that's probably not much more than I'd be likely to pay in the store anyway. Plus no brutal six week wait. 

Super psyched about this, hope some of the rest of you guys get in on the action too!

 
 
 

TRU.com has this entire wave in stock and available for sale online - $7.49 each!!! (Plus shipping and handling)

I just ordered all 4 new figures - Grievous, Pre, Aurra, and Mando Guard for $36.46 total.

All are still in stock as of this writing.

They also had the new Interceptor Tank, plus a few of the new Deluxe Vehicle Figure packs, but most of those were sold out already.

If anyone out there is as pumped as I am to get these, might be worth a look! 

No offense or anything, but do you go to counseling for collecting SW stuff?  You seem awfully high strung here at JD.

Why do you feel the need to call me out bro? Just put me on "Ignore" if you find my personality tiresome. Life is too short for you to be worrying about what goes on inside my head.

I just love toys. I am excited for the relaunch. Anything I collect, I collect with passion.
