I saw the Mara Jade pack this weekend and left it...

The nostalgia of the orginal marvel packs pulled me into this line... If they are not there.. I am not compelled to purchase them.

The only 2 comic book 2-packs that I have are the Obi-Wan Kenobi with ARC Trooper comic pack (I noticed the lightsaber, which the Obi-Wan Kenobi figure has is the one he had in Revenge of the Sith), and also the Luke Skywalker with Mara Jade comic pack (more Lightsaber issues).

RE: the coming Han/Luke Stormtrooper Comic Packs re-release

We/they/whatever posted exactly what Hasbro said-- "no blue deco."   It might mean movie versions, or it might mean red-eyed versions without the blue. 

I guess the answer is "red-eyed versions without the blue":

From R'scum's Q&A today:

"The intent of the comic 2-packs is to be true comic versions of those characters, as if those versions of the characters "stepped off the page" and were in the real world. To this extent, the red visors, Chewie colors, and R2-D2 colors are an essential part of that comic artwork. Those details will not change on re-release. "

Rather than jumping through hoops and buying two more comic packs AND two 30AC #20 Stormtroopers for the black-lens helmets, I think I'll just wait for the actual Movie Versions to get carded in the future...  ;)

That's really disappointing. They've just lost a sale of a set.

Wow, bummer, I was looking forward to those. I'm not buying them anymore.

Ditto.  I would have happily bought them with movie or comic versions of R2 and Chewie as long as Luke and Han were the right colors, but now I'll just go back to patiently waiting for the next rerelease.

Yeah, I think I'll just wait for them to be single carded with all the correct coloring sometime in the future.  Actually, like others, I just swapped the heads from the comic packs with a couple of the basic Stormtroopers from this year, and those worked out pretty well.

I'll pass on those repacked Han/Luke sets too then.  What a stupid move Hasbro.  Seems like for every good decision they make, they do something stupid like this.

Anton, did you find Wave 4?  The front page mention seems to indicate you were the one who found them at Target.  Any loose pics you can share?

Dito. Its the same mold so I do not know why people are complaining just swap heads. My first 2 TAC stormies were swapped months ago to achieve this as well. If they make a single card I would love to see shorter legs on Luke to be movie accurate.

Are the 2nd figures (R2 and Chewie) exactly the same as the original 2pk release or are these repaints as well?  If they're the same, sucks to pay $10 for a new Han/Luke.  If they have a different paint ap alla V1 and V2 of Vader/Rebel Trooper, I would probably pick them up.

I see HTS.com now has wave two visible but out of stock.  And now the price is $11.99.

Yes - Tarkin, Chewie, and R2 are the same. 

All they did was remove the blue highlights on Stormtrooper Han, Stormtrooper Luke, and regular Stormtrooper.

They did this for the Tarkin set too?   ::)

Thanks for the pics!
