I also found the new TIE Pilot and Resistance Trooper and picked up an extra Rey figure.  Didn't see the Kylo Ren that's part of this wave 

I rather like the Resistance Trooper, but sadly, its helmet isn't removable... Or rather, you can pull it off but it's not designed to come off as the figure has only a partial head sculpted beneath the helmet.  The facemask on the helmet does lift up, though.

My stores stocked a ton of Phasma's wave before the film opened.  So remnants of that are what I'm seeing mostly, and Constable Bit Part.

Scored the 6" General Hux and regular First Order Snowtrooper at my local WalMart this morning - they did have Asty as well, but I left him since I'm limiting my 6" collection to members of the First Order.

I guess I'm down to just needing the Flame Trooper from the next wave and then I'll be done with 6" collecting unless they have more First Order characters coming down the pike that I'm not aware of...

Saw this wave today actually.  I wasn't sure whats new or not.  Felt like a lot of 6" turnover last month or so.

I found the Hux/Asty/Snowtrooper Wave today too - at Walmart. I was beginning to think we were in some kind of weird toy vortex here, since everywhere else seemed to be getting these at the same time. I really like Asty, the Snowtrooper is sort of meh after getting the TRU exclusive, and Hux' face is just plain weird.

Been a busy few weeks for this line - I love it though!

Picked up the First Order Riot Control Stormtrooper / Poe Dameron 2-pack at Target - not sure what I'm going to do with the Poe figure. Maybe if I see a Rey, I'll pick her up along with one of the many Finn figures that are hanging around to have the set of the three new heroes....

After seeing TFA, I found this pack a little inaccurate to what transpired in the movie...  The Riot Control Stormtrooper is accurate, his weapons are accurate, save that Poe didn't fight a Riot Control stormtrooper...  Finn did, while wearing Poe's jacket ;)

I think there must have been a whole bunch of stuff on Jakku that got cut out.   There must be more scenes with a Riot Control Stormtrooper than the one at Maz's, and there must have been a bunch of stuff with Constable Zuvio.

Agreed this two pack seems very odd considering what was actually released in the theaters.

Made a flurry of toy runs the past 2 days in the hopes of finding another Snowtrooper and a Hux with better eyes. Ended up finding (and buying) another TIE Pilot, another Asty, and 2 more Shocktroopers. I finally did find a lone Snowtrooper on the pegs at Walmart too, so that was nice.

Apparently there is an "unpainted neck" Snowtrooper variant I need to track down now as well. Both of mine have the proper painted neck.   :P

Finally found (and bought) the Poe/"TR-8R" 2 pack at my local Target... pretty much the only actual Star Wars figures on the pegs if you don't count the 6 inch TIE. Looked to be a fresh case too. For some reason my area hasn't been getting exclusives until really, really late recently.

SW 6" stuff is on clearance at Gamestop now...I picked up a Han/Tauntaun and Speeder Bike Deluxe set for $15 each. Hard to resist at that price!

$15 for the Speeder Bike deluxe set?  Nice!  I might have to pick up one more.

I finally found the last two things I was looking for - a Hux with good eyes and the variant unpainted neck Snowtrooper. Completeness!  ;D
