30AC Saga Legends

[Nicklab]

Has anyone found the SA version of the 501st Clone Trooper yet?  I'm curious to see what the production version will look like.  So far I've only seen the AT-TE Tank Gunner repaint.

I saw only the Tank Gunner repaint recently as well...

Love that Dark Trooper scalper's name online too.  "Collector's Connection"...  Fantastic.  Funny how people wouldn't NEED his "connection" if it weren't for people just like him.  $50 too?  Nice and cheap he is.

Someone in Florida over at scum has pictures of their retail wave 3 score and NFC says they're finished shipping out their wave 3 allocation.

[Diddly]

Uh... Wave 3 is out? I haven't seen any Legends figs since I found a lone case of Wave 1 in mid-June...

Uh... Wave 3 is out? I haven't seen any Legends figs since I found a lone case of Wave 1 in mid-June...

Don't worry... the last wave will be out tomorrow so the pegs will be warm with legends and no wave 4. 

[Darth_Anton]

Nice thing about wave three is that there are a lot of sellable figures. Should move pretty well.

[Rob]

Wave 3?  Sheesh - I'm still looking for my openers of wave 2...

I was looking at my Saga Legends Wave 3 figures tonight as I was putting away some carded figures and I noticed a variation in the RotS Clone Commander figure - he comes with either a gummi Clone Rifle or the Evo Sandtrooper Cannon:

Neat find Jeff. I really like that Sandtrooper rifle.

Thanks for posting that Jeff. It's very helpful to know there's a variant out there. I'll be after the regular rifle version myself, but won't mind picking up a few of the Sandtrooper rifle version either.

[Darth_Anton]

FYI, Curto mentioned that the one with the Sandtrooper rifle is a first run error.

According to AP (Adam Pawlus,) it seems we might not be getting the 501st in SA form this year.  Care to shed any more light Adam?

[Jeff]

What Adam was talking about was changes that Hasbro has made to upcoming case assortments. 

There were two upcoming cases that were supposed to contain the 501st Trooper - Wave 3, Revision 2 and Wave 4, Revision 2.  But, the ratio changed for both those cases and now neither case is scheduled to contain a 501st trooper (replaced by an R2-D2 and Destroyer Droid, respectively). 

So, that means that after the Wave 2 cases ship (with the #65 sculpt 501st), there will not be a 501st slotted in a case until at least Wave 5, which isn't due until Nov/Dec.  It's easy to see how Nov/Dec could slip to "next year", especially if Hasbro adjusts those cases as well...

Anyone else ******** their pants at the thoughts of the Black Pauldron Stormtrooper/Sandtrooper coming out?  Ultimate army builder to me since you get all the gear for a Sandtrooper but you get the cleanliness of a Stormtrooper...  I'm geeked over that one.

In general though, I've liked what we've got already...  The grey pauldron has a grand paintjob.  I'm looking forward to all these though.  Wish we were getting a white pauldron is all, as it's sorely needed at this point.  Much moreso than the orange pauldron for sure.  New weapons would've been neat too here and there...  Again, more than we needed the stick again.

[Darth_Anton]

I just think it stinks that I had to clean all those Saga Sandies and now we're getting a clean one.
