Based on Dorkside Toys pre-orders, these guys (and three other TBD figures) are Wave 4:
- General Hux
- First Order Snowtrooper
- X-Wing Pilot Asty

I believe that the new trilogy will end with the last remnants of the Empire being chased out of the galaxy and relocating to a small, backwater world called "Earth," where they will eventually design clothing for WW2 Nazis.

So Imperials eventually start Hugo Boss?

So this is the wave I saw pics of on Amazon Japan the other day (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=23035.msg586942#msg586942)... wonder if there are clearer pics up now on Amazon.ca. Not a bad case ratio either.
-
So, what's the deal? Did this wave get swapped with 5? I've seen no hint of it around.

I've seen Hux and Atsy in store, but to a limited degree. Mostly at TRU.
-
Most reports I saw for Wave 4 were Walmart or TRU. Started hitting in late December and continued into early January. Sightings have dropped off a little since then with more and more Wave 5 sightings.
A lot of online shops didn't seem to get much of this wave. Not sure BBTS or EE got much of it at all yet... Target got a lot of Wave 3, not sure how much Wave 4 they got.
-
I noticed that EE now has them listed as shipping in May. Wondering of there was a behind the scenes issue with the wave.
-
Anybody have any idea if this wave or Hux/Asty will ship again? And am I stupid for holding out hope that I'll ever see these figures at retail?
-
It is probably crazy to think you'll find them at retail at this point (in the thick of Marvel summer already), but Entertainment Earth (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HSB3834D&id=JE-405087801) and other online shops are expecting more cases (finally) in June/July.
Sounds like that new lightsaber Rey variant that popped up over the weekend might be in the Wave 4 reship cases, so that might be one more bit of a reason to just pre-order the case and be done with it.

That one's a tough sell to me. If I have the first 3 Reys, I don't see anything unique about this one to justify buying it. The lightsaber is apparently exactly the same as the one in the K-Mart exclusive, and the Rey figure and BB-8 are the same as one of the previous 2 iterations.
I guess if you're keeping in the package it is more appealing but this is one of the few lines I actually open. So I think I can skip this one.

Correct. BBTS and EE are shipping wave 4 orders and the "new" Rey is included.
-
What Jeff said... Given the general state of things, I'd preorder a case from EE and call it a day.
-
Bah, I'm just tired of not having these two figures. I preordered the case from EE, along with a couple of Marvel Legends figures also due out in June. They have free shipping, but are charging $22.50 per figure. A bit steep when you only want 2 of the 6, but a spare TIE Pilot, Snowtrooper, and Rey now with the saber was enough for me to cave. I can probably even use the spare Kylo Ren for a kid's birthday present from my son or something this Summer.
I ordered from Jeff's link on the main page, so hopefully JD gets a kickback at least. ;)
-
I just pulled the trigger this morning too but ordered from BBTS. They say its in stock for $120 plus $6 shipping. Slightly cheaper.
-
I just bought a Asty for $27 on ebay. Hux is as low as $35. I'll wait a bit more on him at this point.
I'd rather go that route than get stuck with 4 figs I don't want.

Thanks for the support, Justin! It might cost you guys a few more bucks to buy the case from EE, but at least you know 10% is coming back to the site to help us keep the lights on around here! :)

Got my shipping notice from EE. My Asty and Hux are travelling through Utah and should arrive by Monday. ;D
-
I pulled the trigger on both Atsy and Hux from Amazon marketplace sellers. The pricing of each was around $27, and I was getting tired of driving around with nothing to show for those toy runs. With that and buying the 3.75" Black series Han and Leia from Tunghori, I can take some time off from hitting the stores.
-
I found Rey 4.0 at a local specialty toy shop. I bought her just to compare more closely to the previous versions. Will try to post a report later.
-
A buddy randomly found and picked up Hux and Atsy for me in a Disney store. They had the re-vamped Rey as well, but the Lightsaber gimmick isn't enough to coax me into buying another.
-
I got my Hux & Asty from EE last week and they look great! I was a little worried since the paint apps are sometimes hit and miss with these figures. The Rey looks pretty similar to the KMart version outside of the snow boots. I'll take a closer look to see if there's anything worth noting between the two.
I now have a Rey with lightsaber and one without still in package. Can anyone tell me which BB8 version is better? The one with Lightsaber looks dirtier and the paint doesn't look as good to me, but feels like I've read about that being a "corrected" version somewhere.
-
I was shocked to come across both Hux and Atsy at a Gamestop, of all places. And for $19.99 each. I had pretty much written off Gamestop as a collecting stop, but I may have to rethink that.

IIRC, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong:
- Force Friday Rey had the "inaccurate" BB-8
- A revision that shipped right after the movie came out had Rey with redone paint apps on her face and an "accurate" BB-8
- The new version with the lightsaber also has the "accurate" face paint apps and BB-8
I have all 3 but haven't opened any, so I can't closely compare. But like yours, Justin, the lightsaber version has the best looking BB-8 with the dirt and grime. The second version has a cleaner BB-8.
