One of the better waves.  Cassian is impossible to get here still and getting a TVC card of him is fine by me since I liked RO so much.  The Aphra figure, whoever she is, is pretty cool looking.  She'll go into whatever random cantina display I can toss her into.  Range Trooper rocks, and Luke was pretty impossible to get here barring a massive glut of them dumped suddenly (stranger things have happened fairly regularly).

Again hope they go heavy on the troopers.

Aphra is missing her arm tattoos, isn't she?

Maybe because it's a hand painted prototype...

UPDATE - pic here shows the tattoo, though I dunno how accurate it is:

I like this wave too.  I'd guess they pack 2 of those troops per case, and hopefully later carry him forward once more?

I might be able to help you out if you're looking for extras of Cassian.

Aphra will be the hardest to find from this wave. Not only does she have the comic fanboys after her, but the female fans as well.

I can't wait to get my hands on more Cassians though. Been wanting to get more to try and make a TFA Han custom.

I’m willing to bet Aphra will be the peg warmer.
This is the way.

Most likely because most people are going to have the reaction of "who is this?"

I had to read up on her on Wookiepedia when she "won" the fan's choice poll.

Same here.  I had no idea who she was and couldn’t believe a character like Sim Aloo couldn’t finish ahead of her.  Either something was fishy with the online stuff, or more likely there are way more young people collecting who are into comics than I thought there were.

That's a tough bet to make.  In the past the EU guys, and FC in particular, tend to do well.  Can't think of one that hasn't really, even when they've been kinda ****** like that one Mara figure.

I'm with Jesse.

Aphra will be very popular. I don't think any of these will sit, actually. This is a solid wave where the repacks are highly desirable.

Aphra will do well. In fact I doubt we see much of her on the pegs. The EU fans love her. It is basically their updated Yak Face level of interest figure. They will be on that like exile Luke was drinking fresh green milk from an alien cow's nipple! ;D
But yes I am in in this wave excluding Aphra, but will pick her up for a trade if I find her.

I want a few of Aphra just for female custom fodder.  Don't care about the character, but like the figure a lot.

This wave should do fine.  Hopefully Cassian is just 1 per case.

I'd go with:

- RO Cassian Andor x 1
- TFA/TLJ Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) x 2
- SOLO Imperial Range Trooper x 3
- EU Doctor Aphra x 2
