I'm betting it's a ship.  Which? No idea, but if they went with the Marauder, then they could finish out the rest of the Bad Batch

Could be a new U-Wing to go with all of the awesome Andor figures they've made and have pipelined 

I'm personally just fine with the U-Wing we've got right now.  I know its way small, and there isn't a lot to it, but I don't need something twice as big and slightly fancier for $400.

No offense Dave, but the ROGUE ONE U-Wing was trash.  Hasbro gave us a single seat fighter with a Nerf action feature.  The ship as designed for ROGUE ONE has a cockpit built for a pilot and co-pilot, a comms station, a troop bay that can accomodate perhaps 8 - 12 troopers, and a mount for a door gunner.  Inadequate doesn't seem to sufficiently capture the state of things between the ship that's appeared in numerous shows and what Hasbro delivered in 2016.

I know its not screen accurate, but I think its a great *toy*.  I find the Nerf action feature fun, and would have loved it as a kid.  It was pretty good for a mass market retail offering.  Sure, having a two seater cockpit and at least a small bay in back would have been nice, but for the $50 price it was pretty sweet.  As a collector I would have wanted something fancier, but as a retail toy that should be fun and affordable and largely targeted at 10 year boys, I thought it was solid.

I worry that if they tried to create a more accurate (still not to scale) version we would probably end up with a ship that was 3.5 feet long making it difficult to fit in most people's display  Maybe they could take some creative license and leave the wings more or less as is and just make everything a lot fatter so you could have a bigger cockpit and cargo compartment big enough for figures.  Sticking figures in a crew compartment isn't super fun, even if its accurate (my Razor Crest top is on and I don't do anything with the crew compartment, even if its highly detailed).   If they do go this route, I'd much rather they have an option to have a side gunner station for Bistan blasting away at AT-ACTs.

Ugh.  I just hope it’s not something completely enormous.

Agreed.  Unless its a modular Death Star      Although Jayson's note is that the Haslab is a vehicle (not a playset).

I think The Ghost is kinda cool, but its just way too big.  I've got a twinge of collectors remorse on this one.  In retrospect I could have probably passed on this and still been perfectly content.

I do love the Barge (even though its huge) as it works as a playset as well.  I've got a ton of figures crammed in there along with skiffs to create a nice display.  I don't feel like I can do that with The Ghost.

I'd much rather see a TIE Advanced or something much more modest in size.  If they want it to be more expensive, just include a pile of unique figures.

For The Ghost, there were a lot of people who got the "shipped" notice and tracking number but it took a while for the tracking number to show up in the FedEx app, sometimes not even until the delivery day because of the way that Hasbro drop shipped them in bulk to some larger cities.

As I recall I didn't get a shipped notice until later in the day it was delivered, so it was handy to have the FedEx tracking info as that had useful information once The Ghost arrived at a local distribution center.

However Hasbro manages the drop shipping it was pretty weird, I think especially in the larger cities where they were drop shipped to.  It wasn't like the normal process where you get a notification that your item ships, you track it, and it shows up.  It was totally backwards. 

Ideally you've got your FedEx account set up and you can go see if a shipping label has been created or not.  I think most of us had a shipping label created that existed for a couple of weeks before The Ghost showed up.

My guess is once these are released there will be more available that people can order, including at ShopDisney.

Still showing as "sold out".

Reminder:  Pre-orders for this item will open again at Hasbro Pulse today at 1pm ET. 

Not sure how many more units will be made available so be sure to set your alarms and be logged in and ready if you still need it...

For the reposting of pre-orders, are they doing the 1PM for Premium members and 2PM for the unwashed masses (like me)?  Or is that just for the new, new items like Darth Vader's TIE?

Does anyone have a sense of scale on this?  Is it essentially just a fancier version at the same scale as the previous $20 version?  That price is pretty crazy and probably pumped up by the Vader we don't need and extra wing panels.

I would have much preferred that if they're going to do an all new sculpt to do something like the TIE Avenger from Andor.

I'm still interested to see photos to see if there are any meaningful variants included, or if its just four copies of what I've already got.
