Battle of Tatooine Wave

[Darth_Anton]

Donno why, but I forgot that R5 had a pop up motivator, so when I saw it when I opened him, I got excited all over again.

Nice to see that this wave looks like it won't be hard to find. I am resisting the urge and just hoping that EE comes through with my case!

Found these today at 3 Targets in Kansas City!!!

Awesome, guess I need to hit some targets in STL tomorrow if I have a chance!

scored big time on these over the weekend.  went to wal-mart, one that through most of ROTS had sqaut so i had virtually stopped going there, scored 1 luke, 2 Hem's, 2 Garidan's, 2 Firefighters.  There all on layaway of course cause it was like $50 at Wally's higher prices.  there were plenty of hem's, garidan's, luke's, & of course han's left over.
no R5's, Mowma's, or Sandies to be seen.

I saw a Sandtrooper today, but another collector beat me to it. He had at least 15 figures I'd say in his cart.  I tried looking in his cart to see what he had and think there was a Hammerhead in there and I saw a couple more Garindans and Hem Dazons and a Han Solo... didnt' see an R5 or Luke though.  He had tons of the Great Hits Clones too.

I was lucky to get a Hem Dazon and a Garidan, opened them both and was really happy.

 

[Roton7]

Aren't they great? Those are the 2 I got. I am very satisfied with Garindan. My one and only problem with Hem Dazon is that his swivel elbow joints really make it to where you can't put him in a good pose. I don't know why he's the only I've felt this way with, But I would have rather they gave him ball joint elbows.

Garindan is just perfect. It's my favorite TSC figure (I'm not counting the VTSC) thus far.

[CHEWIE]

I agree, Garindan rocks.  One of my favorite figures in a while.  If he had articulated knees, he's be perfect.  But still he's one hell of a figure!  Hem is nice too, but I think Garindan is better.

I like that they re-used Tessek's gun.  I don't mind pistol re-uses like that and that's a gun we haven't seen again since Tessek I believe. 

Actually, Tessek's gun is different...



Although is does look similar. I think Garindan's is all new.

[Darth_Anton]

Garindan's is all new.

[SilverZ]

So has anyone else found the Sandtrooper's backpack to be prone to dropping off if a faint breeze hits it, or is it just mine? I can't keep that thing on for the life of me.

I might have been too harsh on this figure being called a disappointment, I suppose. I just wish that he had the appropriate utility belt.

[Darth_Anton]

Is the back pack all new? Does it still have a slot to hold a blaster and perhaps the monocular?

[Daigo-Bah]

Found this wave today!  Very pleased, but forgot all about the Sandtrooper which seems to have been picked out of the wave.  Strangely, there weren't any Hans to be found.  I didn't get the Luke, although I think he looked great in the package.  It's just that I have a cloak on another Luke, and this one's headsculpt looks nice but not particularly like Hamill.

[Jesse James]

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. 

[Darth_Anton]

NFC just added pre-orders for this wave, but said they're expecting to get shafted somewhat by Hasbro.
