I was really excited to see pics of the 2 new figs on the front page. Commando Droid Captain and "Shiney" look pretty sweet.
Any speculation on when these will show up next year, what wave they will be a part of, who else might be included?
I am thinking this will probably be the Wave after Aayla and Hondo (Wave 12?). So maybe next spring?
Gotta throw Palps in there pretty soon too, and plenty of bounty hunters to choose from now...
-
These two figures are actually part of an upcoming Battle Pack which is, I think, called "Rishii Outpost Ambush." The other two figures included are both repacks/repaints of the current single carded Commando Droids.
-
Also, this "Shiney" Clone uses the new helmet sculpt that first available on the 212th Clones. The standard "grunt" troopers so far have yet to use this updated sculpt.
-
Wow, you are right on the money...my Rishi BP photos from SDCC were so dark I didn't even recognize them. Good call.
This to me is the "lost BP" which seems to have fallen off the production schedule somehow. It's the only 1 of the 3 new CW BP's that isn't a Target exclusive, but was originally slated to hit retail well before either of those other 2. (Ryloth and Abregado) 8/7 as opposed to 9/6.
I realize, based on the most recent QA response, that those SDCC listed dates are outright lies, but it seems like at least priority-wise they would have a good grasp of which BP's are going to be released first.

Don't get too excited, the commando droid is too small and underscaled and even though it looks alright, the smallness makes it a big disappointment.
I was going to army build, but after I picked one up I decided not to get anymore.

So you own this BP? Did you purchase it online?

I will have the Battle Pack up for trade/sale this month if anyone is interested. I ordered a case to get a Geo, Grub and Endor Pack. Unfortunately this was the fourth one in the case. BBTS says it ships tyhis month, all signs point to them getting it in this week. I do not collect animated so it will be up for grabs.
Sorry for the plug but at least it's related to the topic.

Hey, some good news on the JTA front page today. This BP, along with the other Legacy ones in the same case, have been spotted at an actual brick and mortar TRU. (Not sure where - no details given)
Our local TRU opens up in 15 minutes...I am headed over to check ASAP. Will post back if I find anything good.

It was Alabama.
-
Thanks, i can't read their forum at work so wasn't sure. Weird that it wasn't Cali or Texas.
I found no new BP's, but as I just posted in the other thread, I did pick up both new Deluxe Vehicle/Fig Sets. (Woot!)
Richmond VA is the center of the toy universe, at least for one brief, shining moment!
-
The BPs were also found at a TRU in Georgia, so it looks like they are hitting toward the east first. Can't complain about that.
-
Oh yeah, we were due for some East Coast love. :D
If anyone finds this BP, please post the UPC or item # code in here so I can call around and see if any of the other VA TRU's got 'em in stock.
It's not listed on the TRU website yet, so I don't have a place to look this up.
Thanks! Good hunting!

Rishi Moon Outpost Attack UPC: 6_56569_42802_2
-
Looking forward to tracking down this set! I wish they'd do more army building sets like this in the realistic line...
-
I've checked every local Walmart and TRU for these new BP's and have gotten stonewalled every time. All I need is that Rishi Moon set and I am DONE. Fingers crossed it will happen today, TRU opens in 7 minutes and should have new stock today.
-
Apparently TRU employs the same brilliant logic as Target, assigning one generic Item # to every Battle Pack. So good luck calling them over the phone to try and find out if they got any of the new Wave.
They're all #21218. You can try asking someone to go check the shelf, but it's such a zoo in there nowadays they probably won't agree to do this. (I got shut down twice yesterday, left my name and # and of course never got a call back)
I'm sick of looking for this stupid thing already. I might actually have to break down and order this online just to avoid the frustration.
-
Nice kick in the nuts...I drove 30 minutes in a blinding rain storm to a TRU I have never visited before, only to find only HALF the new BP wave. Yep, all they had left was the Endor and Gelagrub BP's. I searched everywhere on the aisle for that Rishi Moon BP and walked away empty handed. BEYOND frustrating...so many wasted hours ahead of me now searching in vain for 1 single, solitary BP.
Why that one store would get them and neither of the 2 that are actually in city limits would have any is beyond my comprehension.

in stock as of typing this. I would think ordering it and paying for shipping sure beats "driving 30 minutes in a blinding rain storm to a TRU I have never visited before", and then assuming you are driving back the same distance through the same conditions.
-
I saw one of these at TRU as well, I skipped it because I dont army build - all I really wanted was the droid commando captain - hopefully it will be repacked eventually with all the same accessories.
-
I do believe I've seen an image of it somewhere on a basic card for some reason.
-
It's a pretty nice set, just found one this morning at TRU and nabbed it immediately. I think the carded Commando Droid was just a regular one, whereas the BP actually has the Commando Captain.
-
I picked this up tonight... I really wanted the Captain mostly but I thought a little squad of them would be nice to go with my realistic Clones. It'll work for now at least.
Pretty great set... Lots of good articulated army builders. I don't know that the Clone is all that important in the box and I think I would've preferred another Commando Droid maybe with more removable armor bits, but obviously the Clone's for the kids.
But as it stands these look ok with realistic troopers and that was my goal, and so I've got them displayed that way.
I got this set at K-Mart for $19.99 on sale too, probably the only way I would've caved and bought it. I was half-heartedly keeping an eye out for it, but for $20 in this day and age that's a deal. I also nabbed a lot of the Legacy sets as well that are shipping with this one. Was a busy day financially.
