But I do think they'll still sell, especially to the MOMC crowd where the packaging counts for a fair bit.  They look pretty and stackable, that's gotta count with some.

I think you hit the nail on the head since it was the carded collector in me that was initially attracted to these.  Sharp looking packaging that will stack and display nicely AND only 6 pieces so it is short-term and relatively easy to get a complete set -- wow, the carded completist has reared it's ugly head.  :-X

Yeah, I'm thinking that with the price being around $10 now, you won't see many (or any) of these hitting clearance.  Like everyone has mentioned, these will sell to kids/parents as well, since you can get two figures in a spiffy box for $10.  I'm not sure how many I'll be picking up, but I might get a couple of them.  I could see them appealing to packaged collectors, because they do look pretty nice from that aspect.

They look okay. I am wondering about the Vader/Bow one. Is that the evoultions Vader with Bow or the VOTC one ? it looks like the evolutions one to me.

The packaging thing I forgot to even consider...  It's eye-catching for sure.  I am with Brent that they have a lot going for them NOT to hit clearance right now.

I'm sure region is going to play a huge factor though. However, I have a feeling that the biggest problem is going to be clone swapping.

Yeah Anton, I think you're probably right.  I wouldn't be surprised to see figure swapping as people swap out the new Clones for old Clones, especially with a fresh supply of old clones re-shipping in the Legends waves.

Yeah, I think the the Palpatine/Thire and Vader/Bow look pretty good for the most part.  I would be tempted to get them for the clones.  That Vader looks kind of cool with the helmet.  More than likely I will put my money towards the basic TAC 30 line.  But I may pick up a few of these if I can.  I don't like the fact that the Palpatine is not articulated better but they were just trying to put some more clones out and this is what they came up with.  Either take or leave it I guess.  It's just obvious to me Hasbro was not trying all that hard with these 2 packs.  Just trying to put something out there that may sell well.  Clones do.  So...well...there ya go don't cha know?

I have to admit, this guy looks pretty sharp. I'm thankful that he's a commander, so no urge to army build.

Some of them would be nice to have extras but yeah, singles of these will be good for the most part.  Love the packaging on them though.

Yeah, I was initially thinking I'd pass on most of these, but these first two packs do look pretty cool.  I always hoped to get the Shocktrooper commander (Thire), and Bow looks pretty nice as well.  We'll see beyond that, but I do like the looks of these first two packs.  Are these on the way fairly soon, since RS has some pics?

I realize it and that was why I wrote that.  It just seems that people were expecting more with these packs.  I was just pointing that out trying to lessen the blow somewhat.  It just seemed like a quick way for Hasbo to put out some more clones with minimal effort.  I can not help but notice some people seem to be very upset with these 2 packs.  Which is fine.

Personally I was annoyed that they keep re-releasing crappy (and I'm being generous here) sculpts of figures like red robed Palps and EIII Mace.

But since the EIII basic wave was unveiled at Toy Fair, I'm totally pacified.

I can just pass on Order 66 (except Neyo) and buy all the great basic wave figures.  But they hadn't been unveiled yet at the time we saw these Target Order 66 2 packs.  I thought all the stuff was gonna be that crappy, but besides these we're getting some pretty nifty ****.

I've received a few (unconfirmed at this point) reports this week of folks who are finding Targets on the West Coast (CA and AZ) with the 2-packs in the back-room.  All three people who e-mailed had positive DPCI hits, but couldn't actually get them out of the backroom.

087-06-0884 - Order 66 2-Packs ($9.99)

I guess this is just a heads-up to all you "gotta have it now" folks (you know who you are  ;)) as it sounds like these will be arriving with (or shortly after) the big toy aisle reset at the end of March/early April...
