TESB Black Series 40th Anniversary Collection

My Amazon preorder of Snowspeeder Luke and Hoth Rebel Soldier arrived out of nowhere this afternoon. Still waiting on Lando and R2... then I'll probably try to track down the TIE Pilot and the rest of Wave 1 since the cardbacks are so pretty.

Got my Hoth Rebel from them yesterday as well.  I thought this was backordered a few more months.

I got my Snowspeeder Pilot Luke figure from Entertainment Earth yesterday... It was initially slated for an August release, but came early. I’m glad to have it so that now when the Snowspeeder eventually shows up, I’ve got the crew for it.  My Amazon order for the same Luke figure should come later this week (I wanted one to keep MOC). My Amazon order for the Rebel Hoth trooper shows it shipping next week. No word on the Hoth trooper I’ve got on order from EE other than a July release date. Things sure are all over with this particular wave!

And now my R2 has arrived from Amazon! Just waiting on Lando now.

The Luke they sent me was shoved into a box that was slightly too small, meaning the card was bent and the top part of the bubble slightly torn off, so I guess there's my excuse to buy the second one I want for a Bespin Luke headswap.

The new paint apps look really good on Lando.  I wasn't totally on board with this figure being reissued until I had it in hand in a store.  I continue to feel like reissuing a lot of figures with improved paint apps is a bit of a cash grab.  But the new version of Lando looks significantly better than the original release.

So looks like Wave 3 is going to be:

- Boba Fett (rerelease of 2013/Archive version)
- Chewbacca (rerelease of 2019 Amazon exclusive Chewie/3PO without the 3PO)
- Snowtrooper (rerelease)
- Darth Vader (kitbash with some new parts)
- Dagobah Luke (new)

I already have all of these or have them preordered, so easy pass unless I decide to go for a full carded set

[Darth_Anton]

I'll pick these up solely for the fact that they're on vintage cards.

[Dave]

Yeah, pass for me.  I'll get the Luke as part of the Luke/Yoda two pack with a few extra accessories.

[JediJman]

These things are like Pokeman for me.  Gotta catch em all!  Already preordered.

[P-Siddy]

Has anyone ever tried a head swap with Wedge on the Snowspeeder Luke? Curious if it works.

[McMetal]

Picked up Dagobah Luke for $16 at GameStop today. I had that last wave on preorder at Dorkside for the longest time but it sounds like they are not getting them anymore. Now I just need to track down the other four...ugh.

[Nicklab]

I was in the same boat.  I had that wave on preorder from Dorksidetoys, too.  And I think I happened to be checking out the eBay storefront for Hasbro Toy Shop.  They had the entire 3rd wave listed, and most of it for less than full retail price.

*JUST CHECKED - Hasbro Pulse only has Dagobah Luke and Chewbacca listed from wave 3.

Walmart was clearancing those out for $10 a few months back, but doubtful they'd still be around now.
