2021 TVC Wave 6 (New TVC Wave 21)

[Rob]

That's where I'm at too.  I open them, so packaging means nothing.  I don't play with them, so articulation doesn't mean much to me either.  For me, something in the middle that's reasonably priced and lets them start actually putting out more product would be just fine - as long as the sculpting looks good and they're not total statues to the point where they stop being action figures.

But overall I feel like the clearance crowd on vehicles is a nail in the coffin.

I took to calling them Clearance Vultures.  It seems like an apt description for these circling scavengers. 

Regarding the packaging?  Last night I saw the boxes for the Marvel Retro 3.75” figure 2 packs for the first time.  And it’s all cardboard!  The presentation and the artwork were good, and it didn’t even occur to me until today that there was zero plastic in the packaging.

I always find it ironic that the people that sit around waiting for vehicles to go on clearance then bitch when they miss out on them because other people bought them all.

Or complain that the clearance price isn't low enough. And then kind of demand other collectors check their local stores to help them get the vehicles at the lowest clearance price possible. Then complain even more. I ******* hate collectors sometimes.

It serves them right!

[Rob]

It’s got to be mostly kids and people on really tight budgets right?

Right?

I'm definitely interested here indeed in that Lando Figure

[Matt_Fury]

I wish they would just announce the Emperor as the the last figure in this wave and let us pre-order already.  What are they waiting for?

[Nicklab]

I think they're probably delaying the announcement until they open up orders for the Throne Room exclusive.

[Matt_Fury]

They have to know we're going to buy both!

Livestream confirms that this wave will be going up for pre-order tomorrow at 1pm ET at most major retailers.

- ESB Lando
- IG-11
- Emperor Palpatine
- Teebo

[Matt_Fury]

Solid wave.  I might be in for a case.

[Nicklab]

I like the changes to Palpatine that distinguish this release from the Hasbro Pulse Con version.  And the cardback looks great.

I'm definitely ordering a case.  But the assortments matter.  It would be nice to see those with some level of advance notice.
