I have no idea what they might reveal.  The only thing that's got me a little on edge is the potential that Hasbro might reveal something in the pipeline that I put on my March Madness Top 25 submission list, and if I have to edit those submissions.

I'd like to see them comment on the fact that everything that has been revealed/pre-ordered since October has been "fan channel" items.  There are a lot of unspoken signs that the new "Epic Hero Series" stuff is the new brick-and-mortar line and the 3.75" TVC line is heading towards "fan channel only".  No one has gone on record saying anything about that officially yet.

I'd also like a bit more clarity about the Epic Hero Series stuff.  Does that stuff technically fall under Steve Evans and the "Marvel/Star Wars Collector Products" team or does that line fall under Vickie Stratford and the "Marvel/Star Wars Casual Fan Products" team?

Jayson reveals an upcoming Ahsoka themed Disney Droid 4-pack coming 1/29:




Not sure how I feel about this one.  A Chopper repack, Huyang (who so far looks lesser than the TVC Figure) and two astromechs.  Feels underwhelming, but I'm sure I'll still buy one...  maybe I can put this Huyang with the Clone Wars figures.

No mention of Steve...

- code name “Odysseus”
- box dimensions are the same as the other 6pks released previously

Thoughts/speculation?

So, if Favreau is doing the Mando & Grogu movie, is that more evidence that Filoni's movie is going to be Ahsoka/Rebels crew focused?

This seems to be different from Filoni's Mandoverse movie.  This one is to be directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni.

The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into production in 2024.

As for $150 - $200 vehicles?  I have some hope there.  The U-Wing is on my list of vehicles that might work in that range.  And so is the Imperial Gunship that's been in REBELS, TM season 3, and AHSOKA.

Yeah, the $130 Mando N-1 shows that they haven't given up on new vehicles.  The price is unfortunate, but that's the world we live in now I guess.  I'm hoping that the N-1 sold well enough to bring us more new ships. 

That REBELS/Ahsoka Imperial LAAT Gunship would be a great candidate for a Hasbro Pulse 'open order' item (like the Boba/Jabba Palace set) since Ahsoka is still fresh.  Open up a pre-order window to determine demand and then it comes a year later (which is what you guys were wanting with a kind of HasLab that isn't a HasLab thing).  You could toss in a TVC carded Night Trooper/Pilot.

U-Wing would be a good candidate too, especially if it shows up in Andor Season 2.

Looks like this wave has finally hit Hasbro Pulse now too.
