I assume that's a stand you had previously? I didn't throw mine out? (Like my Black Series D-O stand)

Yeah, the stand is one I had previously. It’s an acrylic stand designed for a 1/18th scale WWII SBD Dauntless aircraft model, but works quite well for the Snowspeeder.

The new Snowspeeder is awesome 8)

I mean where to begin? It has an amazing level of detail, tons of functionality, and working features. It is very similar to the 3.75” Legacy Snowspeeder from a decade ago in terms of design, just even more detailed and realistic. Really, it’s almost a studio model in a way. Definitely the best of the Black Series 6” scale vehicles by far and a fitting tribute to an iconic Star Wars vehicle.

Here’s some pictures for those interested:

That’s awesome you’ve got the Snowspeeder, Nicklab! Did you get yours from Hasbro Pulse? I ordered mine from there and it was shipped July 1 via FedEx Smart Post. It’s gotten to my area as of last Thursday, and I’m still waiting on it :(
I’ve also got my original order with EE as a backup, but no idea when that’s shipping exactly.

Thanks! I ordered one from Hasbro Pulse and it’s been marked as shipped already. I haven’t decided if I’ll keep my original preorder with EE or just cancel it...  Might be nice to keep and MIB example around.

65
Anyone know if this is still slated for a July 2020 release? It can’t be that far out as there are already product reviews appearing on YouTube and Hasbro Pulse is showing in stock.

I got my Snowspeeder Pilot Luke figure from Entertainment Earth yesterday... It was initially slated for an August release, but came early. I’m glad to have it so that now when the Snowspeeder eventually shows up, I’ve got the crew for it.  My Amazon order for the same Luke figure should come later this week (I wanted one to keep MOC). My Amazon order for the Rebel Hoth trooper shows it shipping next week. No word on the Hoth trooper I’ve got on order from EE other than a July release date. Things sure are all over with this particular wave!

You guys haven't seen these at your local Target? 

I think the Target down the street from me has received at least half a dozen cases in the past few weeks.

I’ve seen the remnants of the wave like Lando and the TIE pilot at Target, but I’m always too late for the rest...  Then again, I’m one of the lucky people that’s been working the past few months through  the Pandemic, so I’ve not had the chance to hit Target first thing in the morning.

However, I just got a shipping notice from Entertainment Earth for my Snowspeeder Pilot Luke figure, so that one at least beat my delayed Amazon order, lol!

68
I got the same shipping delay notice from Amazon this morning as well. I’ve got the same figures ordered from Entertainment Earth as I wanted doubles and have had no luck finding them locally at retail. I guess I’ll see which retailer ships first...

There are some cool stands out there in other hobbies if you look around...  someone is also making acrylic stands for Star Wars ships specifically as well that look pretty cool.  I agree though, I wish Hasbro made more floaty stands too.  One for carbonite han slab or speeders especially.

I’ve actually used some Corgi diecast aircraft stands with some of my SW ships... Their larger cradle-like stands for the 1/72 scale bombers or 1/32 scale fighters will hold up an average sized SW ship pretty well. I had my TROS Poe X-Wing displayed in-flight on a Corgi aircraft stand for a few months and it looked great!

My Slave I arrived yesterday as well. I did get the Amazon exclusive a few years back and this new version is very similar and not that significantly changed over the older release. The primary differences are that the new version has a darker wash applied and much better paint apps on the reverse side around the engines. The prisoner cell/pod on the new Slave I had the clear top cover, much more like what came with the original Clone Wars version. In a really nice move, the Han Solo in Carbonite “figure” is significantly improved in the new release. It is the full slab with the controls around the sides and has much better silvery paint applications and details. The carbonite block in the old Amazon release was basically a cheap unpainted gray plastic shell. However, if anything with this new set, I am most impressed with the stand. It makes for a much more exciting way to display the ship.  I really wish Hasbro would make stands to hold some of their other vehicles as it makes a fun way to display things.

I found part of this wave the other day at Target, including Luke, Han, Leia, AT-AT Driver, and the Probe Droid.

72
I found the Knight of Ren and Zori Bliss figures yesterday at Walmart. Nice figures, especially the Knight. I had them preordered with another retailer and canceled that preorder.

73
I received my Probe Droid from Entertainment Earth on Saturday. It’s a beautiful figure and I like the ESB 40th Anniversary deco on the package.

74
I received my Mandalorian figure and 12 Remnant Stormtroopers on Saturday from Entertainment Earth. I also ordered a Cara Dune figure, but it hasn’t shipped yet. It was interesting as 8 of the Stormtrooper figures came packaged in their own case from Hasbro, specifically labeled for the figure, which gives me the impression Hasbro is releasing a lot of that particular figure.

75
Nice!  The Remnant Stormtroopers look great in the transport vehicle.  I’ve got a bunch on order from EE as I don’t really have time to hunt them all down at retail.
