Ah yes, that is a new gun...  However there is a pre-existing sculpt of it that MIGHT be larger...  I don't think it's the same size...  Anyone know where that pistol is from originally? :)  You get absolutely nothing for the right answer except the knowledge you're as nerdy as I am... 

Definitely a different gun though, my mistake. 

Naboo Accessory Set?

Yes and no. Good catch BTW.

Garindan's gun is definately a scaled down version of the gun in that pack. However, it's also modified as the scope sits high above the Naboo version, not close to the barrel like Garindan's.

Exactly...  It's weird they went with that design actually.  I don't quite follow the reasoning of it, but hey whatever.  It's a "new" gun technically and welcomed.  Hem Dazon's is the best though.  The ponda baba/rebel soldier pistol needed a resculpt.  Now we have that little beast that they re-used a bit in to-scale fashion for the line.  That makes this scale nut a happy camper. ;)

The only figure on the pegs was the santrooper.  What gives?  I expected Vader, Luke and Han to warm from day one.  Oh well :-\

All I've seen is Garindan twice and Hem Dazon twice... I am wondering if stockers are putting out some partial cases if the pegs are already mostly full?

Dont forget there are not even counts like 2 of each. Cody, Firespeeder and Snowtroopers are shipping with them with red holos.

I was just surprised since I did not expect to get a sandtrooper on day one.  I usually get all the figures I want without any trouble but not the 1st time out.  Now I want about 5 of these guys.  The shoulder paldroun is perfect for painting ranks.

I found a lone damaged card Garindan at my local WM...  I also learned a guy at the store buys them to sell on Ebay.   ::)

Hmm...so it looks like they're starting to hit in Pittsburgh...maybe I'll have to be on the lookout.
My whole expanse...I cannot see...

I did a 165 mile round trip toy run this morning, hitting 5 different Walmarts out in the sticks... found every figure in the wave except for the Luke.  Almost caught up.

165 miles? :o

Talk about dedication, the most I've ever done is probably around 40. I still have yet to see any sign of this wave out here in Denver.

It was ridiculous, I'm never going on a run like that again.

But, I did notice a variant on the Hammerhead... popped off both of their heads and they had a different neck peg.

Well, I'm still looking for a Sandtrooper, yet I can't seem to find one. I'll be going to a lot of stores this week, though.

Another thing that flew over my head, I just noticed that the monocular that comes with the Sandtrooper is the cylinder on the back of his belt. It's a great feature, but I'm more than annoyed that both the backpack and the monocular can't be attached at the same time.
