The numbers just keep inching higher.

No more unlocks but as a reward maybe backers get their premium subscription extended or non-members enrolled like they did with the barge.

Almost 24k. And here I was doubtful we'd hit the 5th unlock.

Wonder how many were bought as extras for express intent of being re-sold?

Definitely opening the elder.

That's not a knife. *This* is a knife.

Anyone else remember the backstory of the Tuskens and banthas having a mental/emotional connection? I guess that's thrown out the window seeing as the Sandpeople had no issue sacrificing their ride. Anyway, they staking the bantha made me think about the goat in Jurassic Park, only they needed a bigger goat. Not sure why I associated the two moments but it made me chuckle. 

The bantha is either the most chill or dumbest animal ever. The krayt is creating tremors and the bantha didn't budge at the mining town, too preoccupied with the food/water trough. And at the cave opening it was only saved because the dragon went after the fleeing Tusken. (Maybe it was sedated in the second instance.)

Old skool Cylon commander! Graffiti from 3:18 to 3:23.

Gor Koresh. Hello, Hasbro?

I am really digging the accessories with the jawa but also doubtful we get to 17k. On the plus side, as a general release (which I also agree will happen if the unlock doesn't) it'll be made available to more buyers.

Same. That and because I hate it when pieces are lost after I my nephew plays with my toys.

A pleasant surprise. Would love a blurrg, which will probably have a different head, arm or tail tilt from a (hopefully-in-the-pipeline) mass release.

I'll echo the carded jawa. Big bang for the buck.

Very glad that I didn't miss out on the initial offering and relieved I don't have to track it down later.

Today was an expensive day.

A blue-suited variation would be very cool.

I would be all over these if I had jumped on the first two waves. Right now I'm on the fence. Numbers probably won't meet demand -- and I don't blame Hasbro for wanting to avoid a glut of figures that'll end up at discount chains -- so I'll probably miss out anyway. I'll be happy if they just bring on new TVC.

A few observations.

1) The head attaches with a barbell/double ball-and-socket joint. Makes sense if Hasbro goes to a universal head attachment even if it means one extra piece per figure.

2) Saw some reviews on youtube that Five's helmet gets stuck on his head. While my Five's helmet is a little more snug on Five and Echo, luckily it doesn't get jammed. Echo's and Jesse's helmet fits fine over Echo and Five's head.

3) These guys are noticeably shorter than Commander Wolffe. I wonder if they were inadvertently scaled to Temuera Morrison's actual height instead of the onscreen 6'. Oddly, the head on these three are ever so slightly bigger than Wolffe's.

I'm a big fan of the animated clones getting a real-life treatment. Hope we see more.

Not Star Wars but peripherally related. I'm sure most of us bought them as custom fodder. Some are cool just as they are.  Look up chap mei on the sold listings on eBay.

Hard to believe there is a market for these. They won't break the bank but it's surprising that loose items typically fetch above their original retail price.

And then boxed sets like the liopleurodon or elasmosaurus going for $100 shipped is mind-blowing.

I have World Beyond on the DVR, We'll watch it tonight.

I see the commercials and I get the same snore fest vibe I felt after 5 mins of 'Caprica'. Is it worth the watch?

Take the last season, break it into two half-season pieces airing over two years and use the extra time in-between to milk the hell out of reruns and marathons to pull as much cash out of the dying cow as you can before it's over.   :-X

Don't forget the Carol/Daryl roadshow spin off and the Rick Grimes (made-for-tv/streaming??) movies.

Although it would be really easy to be cynical and say they designed and planned this all along, so the unlock is largely for show.

I'm leaning this way, but I'm predictable.  :-*

Hope they open up the flood gates for the 10k unlock, but this item is pretty cool as it is. Can't wait to get it.
