I hope I didn't give the wrong impression, I'm not complaining.  I'm actually pleased they've done that for a change. 

I'm wondering too if they have to pull these from a case, being Hasbro toyshop and all?  Shouldn't they have nearly unlimited access to these?  Obviously the answer is no, considering things go in and out of stock all the time.  Still, one would think the company could supply their own needs.

Just got the new B-wing and Plo Koons Jedi Starfighter.

I actually like the new paint app on the B-wing. Only thing I'd change is the swish on the large wing I'd point in the opposite direction. But I get it as it's supposed to be the lower curve of the "B" in the B-wing.

The Plo Koon JSF is a bit more purple than expected. Still I like this design. Now where is our Hyperspace ring for the 3 3/4 line!!! heh.

I finally found the B-Wing a few weeks back at a TRU where I found the rest from that wave.  From what I can tell - Target has totally stopped stocking these things all together.  They've just been sitting on TF, BSG, and a Dewback or two.  It's been over 3-4 months since I've ever found a new tite at Target.  I haven't been to a WM in months (thank god) so I don't know what the situation is there.

Patience! It will be coming soon. Trick is you have to buy another Obi-Wans JSF to get it.

Just got the new B-wing and Plo Koons Jedi Starfighter.

You actually found Plo's Fighter/Hyperspace Ring?  I've seen buttloads of this wave at every store in town recently (Target, WM, and TRU), but have never seen the new Hyperspace Ring.  I was starting to suspect that that particular vehicle for whatever reason wasn't shipping in the early assortments of this wave...  Come to think of it, I've only seen a couple B-Wing so far, so there must be some different ratios with this series going around.  V-Wings, snow Turbo Tanks, new Gunships and Jedi Starfighters up the ying-yang 'round these parts.

Target's lagging again with getting some of these newer ships in their system though, as the V-Wing and one of the others still doesn't ring up, for whatever reason.

BTW, I never really chimed in here during or after C4, but the Hasbro fellas felt really bad with where they've taken this line of late, with all the asinine repaints and crap, and begged us to all stick with the line as they'll be getting some all-new sculpts back into the mix soon (but probably not much until early '08).  Hopefully that's the case, 'cause this line is sucking badly this year.

In case some folks haven't seen it yet...


clicky for a bigger pic  ;)

Looks like maybe "battle damage" on the Viper, a bit darker gray on the Galactica, and nothing differnt on the Raptor that I can tell (though I am by no means an expert on these).

Considering I only collect the Galactica Titaniums, the'yve duped me into this one. Would anyone attending ComicCon mind picking one up for me if you get the chance?
