No complaints here, I’ll lap up some Clone Wars fan service all day long. Captain Rex and Maul Mandos? Please and thank you.

Wonder why Hera didn’t go too? Plenty of room in that mouth, lol.

Ezra managed to pull the Imperial fleet along with the Purrgil during the Battle of Lothal when they were just next to each other.

Maybe it'll be a surprise start to next week's episode that The Ghost and the three New Republic cruisers will get pulled along, but I kinda expected they would show that all of the ships would go with the Purrgil.

For $40!  $40.  Must be the #fancybox tax this time...

Let me see if I've got the math right:
+ $17 Obi-Wan Kenobi (carded and kitbashed)
+ $17 Darth Vader (carded and kitbashed)
+ $6 cardboard box to hold it all together

Those Clone Wars scenes were pretty sweet.  I was hoping for an interaction with Captain Rex, but even though we didn't get it the battle scenes were pretty sweet.

My list is the same.  Just Padme variants.  I'm not sure there are any other figures I really care about in the prequel series that I don't already have.  I'd be fine if no new PT figures were ever made again.  I want new media stuff far, far more as there as so many holes in the assortments.
1 - Loyalist Committee
2 - Return Home
3 - Villa Retreat
4 - The Green Robe
5 - Senate Address
6 - Packing Gown
7 - Meadow Picnic
8 - Nightgown and Robe
9 - Tatooine Blue Dress
10 - Leia Buns Cloak
11 - The Aqua Nightgown
12 - Final Senate Appearance
13 - Peacock Gown
14 - Tatooine Cloak and Dress
15 - Revelation Gown
16 - Blue Linen Dress
17 - Dressing Gown
18 - Hospital Gown

Thanks.  I guess the rinky-dink organization that I preordered from (Amazon) hasn't got their stock in yet.   :P

Has Hasbro said anything about the timing for when this would be shipping?  Nice to see Jabba/Boba's Throne Room finally shipping.

Its surprising to me that these holiday repaints keep getting made, year after year.  I thought they were marginally cute at first, but now it just seems overdone, greedy, and lame.  (Sorry to those that will buy these year in an year out and love them - not just for completism)

And The Razor Crest was Din's version of an ST-70 class assault ship, so whatever they had in Episodes 7-9 could just be other versions of the ST-70.

I think it goes back to what the Nicks said.  Sabine lost everything in the Night of Thousand Tears and now that Ezra is the only family she has left, she isn't willing to sacrifice him.  I hope they expand on her loss a bit more than what they did in later episodes, because I felt it was a little glossed over.

I totally agree.  The writers have not done a great job of portraying this attachment to Ezra.  A casual fan would have a hard time picking this up, and even a hardcore fan like myself having watched every episode of Rebels multiple times didn't carry forward enough of a feeling of attachment between Ezra and Sabine.  Ezra seemed to have more of an attachment than Sabine did.

Maybe they needed some flashbacks or some other storytelling trick to tie this all together better.  There was a lot more time spent on the Sabine/Ahsoka dynamic and very little on the Sabine/Ezra dynamic.

I too am willing to roll with it and see where the story goes.  Maybe Sabine feels she can single handedly rescue Ezra and leave Thrawn stuck across the galaxy, but so far her skills vs. the Dark Jedi seem to indicate she will have limited success on her own, and Ezra's skills aren't likely enough to beat the Dark Jedi either.

I'm glad it funded quickly, and then eventually went way over the top. 

I totally agree that Hasbro needs to take note of the overwhelming success of TVC HasLab offerings.  I'm sure if they came out with a TVC offering that didn't offer good value it would struggle to fund, but if they've got good execution this should be an every two years slam dunk success.

At least we got to see The Ghost in this week’s episode.  Not a lot of action took place in / around it but at least we got to see it a bit.

Interesting results!  Especially seeing how only 3 OT characters and 2 PT characters made the cut.  That's a lot of love for new media!

A love for the new media.
A lack of anything in the new media.
OT and PT have been mined pretty thoroughly over the years when Hasbro had their "A" game.

My Blitz showed up today, in a bubble mailer  ::)

But surprisingly its pretty darn minty.  It always amazes me when you get something sent in a bubble mailer and it comes through unscathed and not looking like an elephant sat on it.

The last couple of Amazon shipments I've received in cardboard boxes have had the figures jammed in a box that is too small with the cards all curled up.
