Well, Luke got here today.  Overall (and this is probably obvious from the promo photos), I'd say it's a less detailed version of the 5-POA stuff they were doing during Forcelink.  It's harmless, but definitely basic as hell, and of course the character selection is basic too. 

It doesn't feel like good value for almost $11 with tax...

I stopped at six total, but if it drops again I'd grab a few more and keep the rest for parts I suppose.

I don't know about the future, but the present is weak.  I know there's a few pipelined figures and a pair of prequel retro waves, but in terms of preorders, my full list is:

Low Effort Repacks / Repaints / Kit-Bashes
Epic Heroes Ahsoka
Epic Heroes Luke
Epic Heroes Vader
Epic Heroes Grogu
Epic Heroes Stormtrooper
Epic Heroes Mando
Epic Heroes Paz Vizla
Epic Heroes Sabine
TVC Axe Woves Privateer
TVC Grogu
TVC Mines of Mandalore Mando - Low Effort Repaint / Kit Bash
TVC Cassian Andor - Low Effort Repaint / Photoreal
TVC Finn - Low Effort Repaint / Photoreal
TVC X-Wing Pilot Luke - Low effort Re-release

High-Quality Re-do's and Clever use of Old Parts:
TVC Phase I Clone Trooper - More Clones, at least it looks good...
TVC Jabba's Throne - Existing Stuff, but done well
TVC Count Dooku - Re-Do of an Existing Character
TVC Mandalorian Fleet Commander - Low Effort Kit Bash, but at least it's a new character
TVC Bracca Mission Captain Rex - Low Effort re-do, using the new body
TVC Deluxe Jango Fett
TVC Mural Colors Sabine / Chopper
TVC Clone 4-Pack

Actual New Stuff
TVC Professor Huyang
TVC Ghost / Hera, Kanan, Zeb, Ezra

There are so many interesting characters that have never been made before and Hasbro seems to have nearly no interest in any of it.  The reveals yesterday left me salty about this stuff.

$19 for Grogu, who should be an accessory.  Lol...

Sure, Sabine and Chopper, it's great to have them to finish off the color scheme crew, but being as those were previously announced and are repaints, THEY should be the boring part of the reveals.  Instead they're the best thing that got shown, and they're $8 more each than mainline figures despite (again) being repaints.

111
Man if I didn't already have 2 or 3 of them sitting in a closet waiting for me to open and fit into these crammed shelves...

112
Garbage offerings.  There’s literally nothing to get excited about with these reveals, for me at least

113
Oh, that makes sense.

114
Maybe you already answered my usual question... if any were re-do's... I thought Disney was pretty good about making their own versions of stuff and not re-using Hasbro parts?  Any chance Chopper isn't a repack?

Thanks Jeff, I snagged the three that are in stock...

He needs a few weeks to re-watch all the movies and shows.

Oh hell yes.

Non specific imperial hallways would have so many uses they'd sell a bazillion of them.  Everything from all of the OT to much of the ST... Gideon's ship...

I'd want a lot of them if they were generic and not say... the detention block.

I bought 12 too and it feels like about 6 too many.

I know we talk about this all the time, but I'd love to see more frequent, smaller Haslabs... do stuff you wouldn't normally do at retail and see how it goes even if it's not a massive real-estate hogging vehicle...

Do an Imperial Dignitaries 5-Pack for $100...

Or some stuff from ROTS that got glossed over because they basically killed the 5-POA line right when the movie released...

I only have so much space left for Ghost-sized things anyway, and I bet I have more room than most people.
