I just got Biggs, Jawa, and Luke from this wave, and I have to say these are some toys I have waited a long time for. Luke's face is kind of scene-specific, but head-swappable and thus forgivable.

I am so pleased with that moisture vaporator...I have waited patiently, and after six years it has finally come to be. The perceived hole in my collection is now filled. I was so giddy driving home with that toy, it was nuts. Between that and the excellent jawa and completely gratuitous "technically EU" Biggs, I played with Star Wars toys for the first time in a couple of years today. Wow.

Edit: And I just discovered that popping off the dome reveals all the interior sculpted goodness of the LIN droid...so now buying another Jawa makes a lot of sense, to have an exposed LIN as a different looking droid.

Surprisingly, I saw this wave at Target today. All Vaders, of course, but it's still nice to know it's been sighted in my area.

I found my first Biggs today... just missing McChewie now.

Also still need another Luke carded, Jawa to open, and Biggs to open.  Then I'd like to pick up 4 or 5 each of the Luke and Jawa.

Picked up a Vader and Biggs Tosche Station.

A set of binoculars with Biggs would have been a good idea........

From this wave, Vader is still the only figure I've seen.  I've resisted so far.

Just use the ones from the Saga2 Luke, if you have him. Those were fine.  8)

Nope.  I want the moisture vaporators.



I will buy Stormtroopers as I find them though.  But with around 80 or 90 already, it's no big deal either way on those.

I've got 4 of the Lukes so far, all for the vaporator myself. I love the vaporator.  I think I want about 10 of them.  It's better than the figure, and actually I think it's my favorite thing to come out of TAC this year after the new Snowtrooper.

I don't even know what that thing does.  I'm assuming it was on Owen's farm.

They are supposed to suck up moisture from the air and condense it into water.

Sort of the crop of the moisture farm I guess.

Ohhh.  Sweet.  We have those here on Earth too.  They're called dehumidifiers.



At last, my bedroom is the farm I always knew it could be.

Your bedroom ain't jack until Hasbro makes a pack-in dehumidifier.

I received my set of this wave from BBTS yesterday, and its a pretty nice wave overall.  The McQuarrie Chewie is just a cool figure, and quite large.  I agree with what others have said here, the moisture vaporator is pretty nice.  I'm almost considering picking up another Luke or two to get some more of them.  The Luke figure isn't as bad as some online pics have made it look, but even after all the tries, I still don't think we've gotten the definitive Tatooine Luke.  The Jawa and LIN Droid is one of my favorites of the wave.  I'm caught up for now, just looking for an extra McQuarrie Chewie to keep carded, and some army building of the Stormtrooper and Jawa.
