TVC Rogue One Imperial Assault Tank

EE got the sale from me.  Not only was there no tax which made it less than Amazon,  but at least a few nickels of the sale went back to JD.

That's great but if you haven't ordered one yet and don't want to wait until August this is an option

Good news - Amazon or EE - either way more than a few nickels make their way back here to help us keep the lights on!   It's much appreciated.

Nickels back are good...  Nickelback is not.

Just ordered mine. Thanks for the Amazon link!

I got mine during the week, and I loaded it up with the tank drivers from the 2 x ROGUE ONE 4-packs I have.  The hatches fit really well.  And the tracks are really good, too.  All in all, this is an awesome vehicle!  I'm really looking forward to getting the TVC version of the Tank Driver.

Me too. When is he supposed to hit the shelves?

I haven't seen pre-orders for wave 2 yet.  But it sounds like it should start arriving in stores within a month or so.

Back up for pre-order at EE again (was briefly listed early in error a few months ago).   $80 with free US shipping!

Is this going to be available at retail eventually?  Or is it online orders only?

And now wave 2 is up for pre-order.  But it looks like anticipation for the Tank Driver is high, because Dorkside Toys seems to have pre-sold out that one already.

EDIT:  EE also seems to have listed wave 2 as well.

Eventually, but not anytime soon.  Not sure about Walmart but I believe Target was waiting for it to be closer to Christmas/Holiday shopping season before making shelf space for the tank.

I love that 2018 wave 2 is coming out in the last month of the year.  I wonder when 2018 wave 3 is coming out.  Gotta love all the repacks that keep this product turning quickly at the stores

Not sure what you mean? 2018 TVC Wave 2 is due in Aug/Sep and 2018 TVC Wave 3 is expected in Nov/Dec.  Hasbro's goal for TVC is new wave every 4 months (April-August-December).

[Dave]

Sorry - should have read your previous post closer.  I thought you mentioned that wave 2 was Christmas.  You were referring to the tank.  Need more coffee.

[Jeff]

Ah, ok - I edited my response to Justin to be a bit clearer on that.
