I think Hasbro needs to be careful.

They really are running a risk of having too many big things at once.

I'm glad they're doing them, but I don't want to see them crash and burn like they did during the EP1/end of POTF2 era.

I'm hoping that they will be easy to get as well. They are a great deal considering that you get four clones AND a Jedi for $20 when four clones by themselves will set you back $32 now that Target has returned to the $8/figure pricing.

My first choice would be a Death Star playset. My second choice would be a new larger AT-AT so that if you put an AT-AT next to the AT-TE, the AT-AT doesn't look ridiculous.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: V-19 Fighter

Picked up my opener of this vehicle on Friday morning.

All-in-all I'm pretty impressed with it. Nice design, mimics the comic book (and new Animated Clone Wars) design of the ship. The mechanics all work really well too.

I am disappointed with the paint-op on the vehicle. I suppose we had to start SOMEWHERE, but this ship looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. I guess that's how they wanted it. I'm sure we're going to get endless repaints of this vehicle. We've gotten repainted Gunships and repainted ARC-170s and a repainted V-Wing to match the Imperial Gray version from the end of the movie is rumored - so why not a battle-damaged version or a version with different squadron colors and battle-worn markings?

I was going to pick up two to open, but since I know I'll be buying this vehicle many times over, I think I'll stop at just one for now.

Are both heads available in the package or is it the type of thing where half of the Toht figures will have one head and the balance of figures made will have the other?

I guess you're right, I'll probably want a second Toht figure just to display with the melting head.

Since Hasbro has indicated that the Ark Spirit/Ghost will be something they want to work into the deluxe line, perhaps that will come with a Belloq on fire. Since Dietrich is also rumored for this wave, perhaps he'll come with an imploding head. So combining the deluxe figure set with the Toht and Dietrich figures will allow you to recreate the climax of the movie.

I've picked up two AT-TEs (one to open and one to keep MIB) and one BMF (haven't opened it, but when I find one in better packaging, this one will be my opener).

Great wave of figures. I just wish one of the figures in there had been a re-make of the Vintage Kenner Belloq figure in the tan slacks/white shirt that he wears for most of the movie.

Oh well, I guess they have to leave at least ONE vintage figure unmade.

You almost have to wonder the strategy of that. Obviously since the figures are so darn hard to find 'cause the pegs are clogged with KotCS and RotLA figures, I guess many of us are going to order by the case - I hope the online retailers get cases of this wave and all future waves with 2x of each figure. That way if you only want one set you can easily pair up with a like-minded collector and split the case.

You have to wonder - how long before they take four Crystal Skeletons and pack them together in a Battle Pack with an Indy figure?

What continues to amaze me is that Hasbro continues to show us how EASY and CHEAP packaging is to make.

I can't believe they suckered Target into carrying these.

I like both, I hope it's the first of many beast resculpts.

I'd like to think that we might start to see some beast resculpts too, but I think we kind of lucked out with regards to the Rancor - the Force Unleashed version paved the way for us to get a new Jabba's Palace version. I think if Shaak Ti was going to attack the Apprentice with a bunch of Dewbacks instead of Rancors, then we'd have a new Dewback from the game and then eventually be getting a new Dewback w/Sandtrooper. I doubt Hasbro is going to start resculpting the OT beasties.

It would be great if they gave us a new Tauntaun, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for one.

Scored the remaining four 1st Day Issue figures I needed yesterday.

While this promotion wasn't as strong as the past UGH ones (Chrome Bases, Gold Coins), it is definitely nice to have all 20 1st Day issue figures out of the way.

Anyone find the two comic packs from wave one Legacy? Tol Skorr/Asaaj, Durge/Anakin

I was hoping to find them, but haven't seen anyone anywhere report finding them, so I guess they aren't out yet.

I was just about to ask the same thing and then I saw Sal's post above.

None of the places I went to seemed to have it in stock. All of them had older TAC sets (Mouse/Basso, Shan/Jundland, etc...)

I'm sure we'll see them soon, but I hope the stagnant TAC product doesn't make finding the newer sets hard to find.

On a side-note, it seems to me that suffering through those last two waves of WalMart exclusive 2-packs has finally paved the way for us to get the 2009 wave which I think is absolutely fantastic! The Ewoks are great, I love the pilfered armor pieces that they are wearing. The Rogus Squadron pilots are fantastic, I love that we're starting to get non-human Rebel pilots. The Evo sets were a great start, so these two will fit in nicely with them. The Sunber/Amanin set is also great, I'm definitely going to want to grab a couple of these just to open.

In terms of the regular release sets, the only one that has me perplexed is the pose they put the Dark Empire Luke in. To have a figure with such a fantastic head sculpt and such a piss-poor body is very disappointing. Otherwise, this line looks great. I am actually more excited about the Comic 2-packs that are coming out than I am of the regular Legacy Collection figures.

My TRU had 4 tonight, so three other guys and myself snagged one each.

So much for the ppt and the book. It appears that the little signs are right about the dates.

The price was $34.99

Well - it took them some time, but FINALLY it looks like the three WalMart exclusive Comic packs might actually be WORTH getting!

The Rogue Squadron Pilots are a nice addition to the two Evolutions Pilots sets we're already getting.

The Ewok 3-pack is nice since it adds to our little Ewok armies.

The Amanin w/Lt. Sunber is nice too.

These three sets might actually be hard to come by.

question for those that have these, I seen the pics of them but not with the packs removed and showing the back.  How are the quad gun and scuba clones pack attach to them? 

The Quad Gun Clone backpack has a hook that slides into a hole in the armor backplate, similar in the same way the Antennae slotted into the back of the SA Clone sculpt. This holds the backpack and the mechanical "arms" that then plug into the quad canon.

The Scuba Clone's backpack has a peg that inserts into a hole in the armor backplate, similar to the Jetpack Deluxe Clone.

I hope that helps answer your questions.
