New Galactic Heroes...

Chewie and Clone

Also listed are Mace and Kit and R2 and Super Battle Droid

Ooooh...

I'm looking forward to the Kit Fisto figure.   

Er, I mean, my 3-year old nephew is.  Yeah, right, that's the ticket.

So another six on May 1, eh?  Cool.  Keep em coming Hasbro!

And I can admit it, I buy these for ME, I'm comfortable with my masculinity.  Well, at least until the smart ass comments fly, anyway.   

I wonder if the Chewie will just be a repack of one of the two previous ones (which were basically the same too).

I was wondering the same thing about the R2.  I hope they don't start repacking 1 new fig with an older one.

Were there 2 Chewies?  I thought there was only 1.  What did I miss?

Well, there was one with the Falcon set...and then the slightly "tweaked" one that came in the two pack with 3PO.  Not too much difference really, the first has a bowcaster (which is removable from his hand and can be put on his back), and the second has more of a "smile" going on and has a molded in blaster instead of the bowcaster.

Y'know, I have the original Falcon but still haven't opened it up yet.  Sheesh.

[JesseVader08]

I guess I never paid close enough attention to the Chewie included with the Falcon, I always assumed the two were the same.  Oh well, unless it comes down in price from the $50CDN they're charging at TRU, I'll not worry about it.

Hasbro has an update today on the Episode III Galactic Heroes, Emperor Palpatine & Yoda, Anakin Skywalker & Count Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi & General Grievous are on deck.

[JediMAC]

On deck?  Hell, they've been out for at least a couple weeks already!   

I picked 'em up at Target back then, but like a good boy who only collects the OT Galactic Heroes, I had the willpower to return them a few days later.  I'm so proud of myself...

No, no, no, no.  You were supposed to send them to me.  You don't remember that conversation?

Target in Covina off the 10 freeway had about 4 sets of each of the new GHs this morning.  Grabbed the Emperor/Yoda set since that was the only one I had yet to find. 

[Brian]

I found these last week as well, on Tuesday I believe, and picked up a set of each.  I think they had 3-4 of each that day.  Happened to be at the same Target exactly 2 days later, and they were completely wiped out.  I don't know how it is in the rest of the country, but this line (the 2 packs in particular) are very, very quick sellers.  Usually sold out in a matter of days.

Now you can have your favorite Galactic Heroes hanging from your backpack or keychain ...over at Entertainment Earth....GH Danglers!



Nice idea I guess for the kiddos, and one might be cool for a keychain, but I think I'll be passing .

[DSJ™]

I'll be passing on those danglers myself. I see no need for them.  

[JesseVader08]

I could see getting a Yoda for my daughter - she likes Yoda because "he's not a bad guy".   

However, I collect the regular ones, so I don't see me grabbing these.

I am passing on the key chains, no need for them for me anyway.
