I've got to say that I'm pleasantly surprised to see these figures are already making it to the pegs.  Lots of store reports from the West Coast about these turning up.  And it seems like people are all about getting the Emporer - he seems to be one of the first figures to sell out from the wave.  I'm starting to think that maybe the Emporer should have been 3 per case instead of Lando.

This wave has hit the Midwest, I just found the 3 Landos from the case at my local Walmart in Streamwood IL. I was told I just missed the rest of the case, d’oh! But at least I found something new for a change.

Nick, I've got to ask—because I've been talking about Star Wars figures with you for like 20 years or more at this point—why do you spell it "Emporer" instead of "Emperor?" I feel like I've been seeing it that way for so many years at this point, that I can't remember if I asked you about it before. Is there an inside joke I'm forgetting?

Seriously?  I'm usually pretty attentive to spelling.  I can't believe that one slipped by!  I'm usually the one person who is incensed by seeing people write "Rouge One".

I imagine "rouge one" could apply to all of Carrie Fisher's makeup in the OT!  ;D

It looks like EE is now processing orders for the wave with the EMPEROR.  My card got charged and I saw a change in the status of my order for this case from EE.  Now let’s see how long shipping will take.

There ya go!

And I didn't mean to call you out or anything, I just know I'd seen it, but couldn't remember if there was a joke behind it. We've been doing this a long time!

My case with the EMPEROR, Lando, IG-11 and Teebo arrived yesterday.  As I was taking the case out of EE’s shipping box I noticed a label - an air freight destination tag!  Evidently Hasbro has taken to flying these figures from Hong Kong to LAX for distribution in the United States.

In Chicago we have these half-sized Targets that are more like a huge Walgreens... they only have half of an aisle for toys, but it's the only place in walking distance to my house that carries the stuff.  I pop in from time to time and maybe four times total I’ve seen figures.  They had the whole wave there today at lunch.  I bought them all and canceled my Amazon order.  I can't remember the last time I found a whole wave of stuff in stores before it shipped to me.

That’s great Rob!  I have this wave sitting in my desk to be reviewed.  They came in the day before we left on vacation.  From what I was able to look at, they all look great!

Yeah they definitely all look great.  Palpatine is probably the highlight of the wave for me, but also IG-11 is the most exciting bit being as it’s a new figure that we didn’t have, even if he looks jus like IG-88.

I got Lando and IG-11 from Dorkside. Man, these figures are freaking excellent.

After getting a good look at the IG-11 figure, I want a new IG-88!
