The Black Series 3.75" - Wave 8

[Jeff]

You're right - I guess I should have said it was Mosep who was retconned into the light-haired nimban, not the dark hair version was retconned into Tawss.

However you want to describe it, thanks to the SW.com article, I always thought Mosep was supposed to be the dark haired guy.  Now, he's the light-haired one for some reason. 

Like I said - either way, I'm happy to buy any cantina or Jabba Palace alien they make, even if they can't keep the names straight anymore thanks to all the changes over the years.

Han (not there) and the Jawas really look like a nice package at the new price. 

The others, not so much but I will deal.  Agreed on Mosep...  I'm just happy to buy a new cantina alien again, whatever the name.  Like Doallyn's doppelgänger, it'll just be a nice thing to own and buy.

Leia looks snazzy.  I liked boussh as a kid so a nice ultimate version of her is fun.  I wish I knew what ubesians looked like without the helmet.  I would do a custom Boussh before she got to him.

[Jesse James]

WOW is that a bad case assortment...  Just, wow.

I love this comment on their forum:

"Ist schon jemandem aufgefallen das Commander Thorn in dieser Sortierung die Nummer 15 hat und in der US/Canadischen die Nummer 21?!? What gives?"

How so?  When I saw that rumored assortment a few weeks ago, I cancelled my Wave 7 pre-order in favor of this case. 

I want 9/12 of the Wave 8 case (Rex, Thorn, Doom, Dutch, Chewie, Han, Boushh, Jawas, Mosep).  Just have to track down Wolffe (who is 2x per case in Wave 7) and a second Han to keep carded.

[Jesse James]

I guess I was hoping for extras of the new stuff and fewer 7 repacks.  2 Han would've been nice for sure.  I also don't want Chewbacca, 3po, etc... 

I ordered wave 7 singles, and am hopeful I can do the same with 8.

They look like Carrie Fischer 30 years ago.

[Jesse James]

Well that's pretty easy then.

[Diddly]

I really like this case assortment too, because I can skip Wave 7 entirely. The non-Rex Clones I'm not crazy about, but I could probably trade them for Imperial Navy Commandos from Wave 7 or something.

Has EE offered this wave yet?  I couldn't find it on their site.  Or is it sold out and removed already?

Should (re)launch on many sites on Sunday/Monday

Still haven't seen this pop-up at EE.  Has anyone managed to pre-order this at other sites?

[Jesse James]

Only Dorkside and maybe one other place has put them up yet...  Patience on it Dave, I think it'll be soon on the other places like EE and BBTS.  I'm waiting (hoping) for singles to go up soon as I'd like to just pick up what I want, and leave it at that.

Yeah, I'm a little concerned these figures will never hit retail, and will have very little availability via e-tailers.  It seems the last wave of a line is always hard to come by, and with the way Hasbro has been managing their assortments / production numbers I'm not sure what to expect here.

I never really found the last waves of Rebels at retail, and most were only available on HTS for a very brief window.
