I’m down for 5-6 anyway.  I’m excited.  I’ve been paying $30 for figures from designer lines and this is a pretty snazzy set so I’m ok on all that.  It’s a lot beefier than a reg figure and the box is a plus.

Yeah, I'm in for at least 5.

227
I'll buy a couple of this set because it has some great world building potential, but the absence of Cal and the Second Sister is just stupid at this point.

228
Yeah I'm happy they're making this droid. I've been toying with the idea of customizing one but I never did. Glad I held off.

229
Don't forget about a new Skittles style retro figure, maybe a Boba Fett or a Mandalorian this time.

Maybe they'll make Rob's life easy and do a rainbow skittles R2, so he only has three colors to deal with.

Promotions—particularly at that level—are months in the making, and tied to some very real metrics (including retention), so it's not like the Rancor failed and he got a promotion for it.

Well, I just realized I didn't really want these and canceled my 2 Boba Fetts. I generally don't go for the cartoon-painted figures, but the excitement when the went up for sale last year—and the excellent sculpt of that ROTJ Boba—pushed me to pre-order. I think the endless delays and reauthorizations finally got me thinking that I'm just not in love with these things enough to drop almost $40 on two cartoon-painted Boba Fetts.

I know some of you have seen it, and I'm way late to the game, but if you haven't my Stop Motion review of the Razor Crest, here it is...

That was awesome!

Ugh...I'm tempted to order, but I really only want Rex to customize. I might just wait to see if he shows up single carded.

Man, every time I scroll through this I catch something new. Such an amazing setup Rob!

My luck seems to have run out with Walmart and their shipping.  I ordered 10 figures which were shipped in six different shipments...two of which were envelopes.  That being said, most of them did ok shipping wise and weren't too mangled.

One thing that happened was instead of two of each figure (red and blue Arc Troopers, Aayla Secura, Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee), I received three Luminara Unduli figures and only one Barriss Offee.  I'm going to contact Walmart to see if they can fix that, but if not, I might try trading the extra Luminara or eventually give it away on my YouTube channel.

I think Darth Anton was looking for a Luminara, as none if his were delivered.

236
I accidentally ordered an extra Aayla Secura that I didn't need, when I meant to order an extra Barris. Anyone want to trade?

Has Hasbro been asked in any of the recent Q&A's whether they're planning any more ST figures? I'm redoing my shelves, and I sort of feel like I have space allocated for the Sequels, but honestly I'm not going to continue to hold it if they're not making anything from that trilogy.

That's probably not a bad idea, and they could still use a cloth/nylon/whatever bag to hold him in. I don't think I'd want a hole in Chewie's back though...and to be honest, I'd like to have a new Chewie with better hips. If you make the current figure squat, it looks like he's just barely holding in a ****.

I did a custom of the Threepio backpack about a year ago, and you really do need to destroy a Threepio figure to achieve it, based on how he's jammed in the bag in the movie. I mean he has like a hand jammed in his leg piece. It's not like the simple take-apart feature from the figure we have.

I bought two Razor Crests, but the second was really for my son, when he's a couple of years older. He really likes the 3.75" figures, probably because that's what I collect. He has a couple of Black Series figures, but he keeps going back to the classic scale, because they fit in ships. I actually gave him my older Slave-1, the version that came out several years ago on Amazon. He ******* loves it.

Jayson is speculating that Shae Vizla could be making an encore on TVC. Pretty sweet if true seeing how much it's fetching now. (It's the most I ever paid for a solitary SW fig on the secondary market.)

I'm torn on this. I do want people to get their hands on the figure as-is at a reasonable price, but I also want the head replaced.

I've never played the game (though I played KOTOR and KOTOR2 a ton), but I really like the look of that character. The figure doesn't seem as good though. It would be nice to see her upgraded, especially since she'd be fairly disappointing next to the newest Mandalorian-style figures, like Bo Katan.
