Does look cool...looking forward to seeing some pics of that other set too, since IG-88 is all new.

IG-86 is a repaint I believe, nothing "new" there.

In the same sense that Ziro's Assassin droid was a repaint of the previous version? Or is this more of a straight re-pack?

I'm cool if the paint apps are unique, that's "new" enough for me.

Wait, so neither guy actually has a face? Well, that's one way to keep the sculpting costs down.

Great pics, mods!

Gotta love this latest rumor list from RS:

RUMORS:
Aqua Droid
Barriss Offee
Captain Rex with Jetpack
Clone Commander Wolfe
Clone Trooper 7 ARF
Clone Trooper (Stealth Ops)
Clone Trooper with Riot Gear
Echo (Sgt. Bric Armor)
Eeth Koth
El-Les
R4-P17
Red Leader
Saesee Tiin
Savage Oppress
Seripas

No, I don't need 65 more clones, but I'm loving me some Barriss Offee, El-Les, and Seripas!

Echo in Brain-boy's armor? Guess this means ole Bric will be in at least 1 more episode this season.

meh - relax.  the holiday shopping season is upon us.  that will clear the glut of all the pegwarmering figures fo sho.

In September? I think that's a little early. And I think we all know what an added challenge it is trying to snag new figures in that craziness. Would rather not wait until Nov/Dec to buy something that is out now. (assuming I could even find it that much later)

I'm not voicing any concerns others have not already noted about the TVC line and the upcoming ROTJ Wave. We're nearly 2 months past the August relaunch, and 90% of everything you see around town is still those first waves. I think that's going to make it difficult to keep the waves refreshed every 6 weeks like they have talked about. When the new stuff does come out, it's usually a single case at best.

I also think it's all but confirmed that some retail outlets are just skipping certain waves all together. Did anyone ever see TCW Wave 2 at Target? I think they went straight from 1.5 to 3.

Wave 2 literally hit here for like 2 days, and only at a small handful of Walmarts. Maybe there will be a resurgence down the line, but I hate to pin my hopes on that kind of thinking. I haven't seen any sign of those figures for weeks now.

It would be great if TRU got the Wave 3 figs in this week so I could take advantage of that 2 for $11.99 sale, but I'm not holding my breath.

edit: Nevermind, found Goji this morning at 1 of the 2 local Targets that did not restock on Friday. Woot!

That's cool, I did not know they would do that. Seems like a service they should promote a little more.

I'm still leery of their shipping though...I ordered some stuff from them back in late July and it arrived pretty well beaten up. I had to exchange most of the stuff in the order actually. Apparently they have no knowledge of "bubble wrap" and everything just smashes up together inside the box.

I'm content to wait another week or two and grab this in the store, but then again I live like a mile away so it's no hassle.

Found TCW Wave 3 remnants today as well, at 2 different Targets. No sign of Goji at either one though, and the Flamethrower Clone will have to be an opener as the card is dinged. So I still need MOC versions of those 2 guys.

I did notice that I appear to have $5 Clone cash in both the Ki-Adi and Flamethrower Clone figures I picked up. I could see the small blue paper with "5" in the corner, which I assume is what that is.

At least I can use one of those. Ki-Adi is minty and will remain forever encased within his bubble.

Found a lone TVC ROTS Wave Clone Trooper on the pegs at Target of all places. I'm thinking "return" as I have heard nothing about this wave making it to the shelves there yet.

I went ahead and bought it for the last UPC I need for Boba. Yeehaw.

If anyone wants this thing, minus the UPC, PM me.
