As of this post, the unmasked Kylo Ren wave is available on Hasbro Toy Shop...

Kylo Ren - http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-b6949as00
Nien Nunb - http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-b6951as00
Stormtrooper Squad Leader - http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-b6950as00

I took advantage of the availability and ordered what I needed just to be done with this wave since finding things locally has been an absolute joke as of late.

Thanks for the heads up, Pete... Kylo sold out while I had one in my cart though. ::)

Was able to grab the Heavy Armor Stormtrooper and Unkar Plutt, plus a 6 inch ANH Luke. The hunt continues for unmasked Kylo, Han and Ackbar I guess.

I finally caved and got an Armor Up Kylo Ren yesterday. I plan on putting the head and scarf on my spare Black Series Kylo, just need to sand down the neck peg on the Black Series Kylo and hope it doesn't have too much of a peahead look.

Picked up Rey's Speeder at WM for $13. That feels like all it's worth, honestly.

Got home to find some stuff I had ordered waiting for me - among the stuff was my HTS order of the Nien Nunb/Unmasked Kylo Ren/Stormtrooper Squad Leader wave.

I bought three of each figure, one to keep MOC and two of each to open - they threw all 9 figures into a box with ZERO packaging/padding in the box, tossed in the order summary sheet and taped up the box - and shipped it just like that.

Thankfully there is one of each figure that I can accept as the one I'm going to keep MOC, but if all 9 had come completely smashed, I would have been super pissed - I haven't ordered from HTS in a while, but the last time I did, I could have sworn that they put in at least SOME packaging materials with the stuff to keep it semi-protected.

Got Unkar Plutt today. Did I leave the film with an inaccurate impression of his size or is this figure way too small??

He stands on a platform in his booth to give the impression of height. Like Louie DePalma in Taxi. Simon Pegg is 5' 10".

Here's Unkar next to Rey and JJ at Maz's castle with no platform:



So the figure is correct height-wise. I just wish the sculpt of the face was movie-accurate, as opposed to based on the costume (see above) that got heavily CG'ed.

EDIT: The more I look at that picture, is it JJ Abrams or Louis Tully from Ghostbusters?

Cool, thanks.  That's kind of what I figured - but between his height in his kiosk, and then only really seeing a giant hand holding small child Rey's hand, and then the camera angle when he's yelling about the Falcon, I left the movie with the impression that he was about 7 feet tall.

I found FN-2187 the other day. Still need a handful of 5POA figures and I can be done with the line.

Found the Takodana battle-pack (or whatever the correct term for it is) tonight at my local Target. I don't know why I was expecting the box to be bigger, but I almost overlooked it due to it's small size. Glad to be "done" with the 5POA line for the moment...

Amazon has 5POA TFA Han in stock... for $16. I bought one. :'(

I used some Discover Reward points to take a few bucks off, but I've spent far more than that looking around for the figure over the last few months, so it's good to be done.
