Man, I feel like I'm getting more bitter in recent years, but I'm not happy  :-X.  That set shouldn't be called Imperial, other than the Biggs; I was sure we were going to get 3 OT style pilot types.  THRILLED to get a red B-Winger (see my post signature) but why in an Evolutions set?  He needs to be individually carded to army-build, like Tycho!  I'm going to end up with a few dumb female Lekku head pilots...

Sal,
     If Muftak passes on Bigg, I would be willing to trade/buy him from you,

Okay cool. For now I'm only looking for Kashyyyk troopers. Though when wave 2 Legacy hits I'll be looking for a few multiples there.

Consider the Biggs on hold for you, if Muftak passes. If I don't hear from Muftak by the end of the day, then the trade will default to you.

I'll let you know.

I'll take 3 please.  3 ROTS'rs for the ARC-170, 3 Biggs' and holo out the 3 OTC TIE Pilot helmets I already have, 2 for the ARC Gunship, & trade/sell the extra.


But who's the other Hoth rebel pilot on the back of the box?  They alt the heads on the female, and the paint/head on the Bwinger, could we be getting Wedge?  If so he better not have that damn skull cap.

According to the rumors from a while back, the third pilot in that 2nd Pilot set should be "Desin Ommis" or something like that...

Why I've no idea who they are, which seems weird why'd they make Janson and not Wedge it's just a head sculpt and paint apps on a helmet.  Oh well I guess we keep waiting.

I actually like  Biggs.  Yeah, the open face kind of sucks but I would probably keep the helmet off of him in a pose anyway.  I am really not all that excited about the other 2 pilots.  I guess is is nice that they updated the ROTS pilot.  It seems like an odd choice to make that blue pilot.  I would have thought they would have gone with a V-Wing pilot especially since they released it as a vehicle.  Then again they would not want 2 pilots from the same film in this set.  Oh well. 

I am happy to see the red B-Wing pilot.  I will probably get that set for certain.

Sure Muftak.

Okay ctrona, it's yours. Keep in mind my trade wants when this comes around.

It occurred to me that perhaps a second TIE helmet, non see through, comes with the set (you know, as an accessory.)

Given that they already have a nice TIE helmet sculpt laying around (from the Comic Pack Baron Fel figure), it would be nice if they tossed it in there as an accessory...  I guess we can all hold out hope it's in there!

And now the first Rebel Pilot set:




But I really want to see the second Rebel Pilot set! (in closer detail than the pic on the back:)

What is it with Hasbro and the white B-wing flightsuit?  Did they even watch the movies?

On a more positive note, I like the other two pilots in the set.
This is the way.
