Not something I'm in a hurry for, but I'll take it over another Vader, Clone or Mandalorian.

Totally agree.  I'd rather have key unmade figures from current/recent media (Andor, Ahsoka, Bad Batch), but I'll take any new figure over more rehashed stuff.

At the very least I do think Pong Krell is an interesting character design.

Have we heard any commentary on how the Mandalorian N1 fighter did in Hasbro’s view?  I know it wasn’t a Haslab item, but there was a strong element of preorder for this.  Did it even get “stocked” at EE or any other place?

As mentioned before, I’d love to see Hasbro do more stuff like this.  Reasonable price range, pre-order, awesome execution.

I would be up for a significant figure component to a HasLab item if the ship/playset was more mid-size.  For example, I’m not super interested in a First Order Troop carrier, but I would be if it included all the Knights of Ren.

To be honest there is a bunch of stuff I'd like them to make, including the rebel transport, but I don't want it to be a $450 version.  A $150-$200 version would be just fine for the rebel transport, a Ahsoka's T-6, First Order troop carrier, Fondor Haulcraft, etc. 

I thought the Mandalorian N-1 was perfect.  Something mid-sized where reasonable compromises are made to keep it affordable.

In fact I'm not sure there is anything on this list that feels like I would want to spend $450 for and have it take up a giant shelf.  Even if they did the cantina I would hope they could find a way to create value without making it too expensive and elaborate (e.g. I don't need piles of Instagram worthy pillows, etc.).

My favorite in the list is:

EPISODE V - Rebel GR-75 Medium Transport

What is the point of this?  What a lazy effort.

Cash grab.

With the image shown, are we getting them in Hot gear?

Like assless orange flight suits, or what are you thinking?   ;D

I wonder if these is Steve Evans getting involved and slapping the organization around to do some of the most obvious things they haven't done in the past four years.

I personally don't pick up ever last variation of Darth Vader as I've got dozens and dozens, so it no longer bothers me that they release another ever so slightly new Darth Vader.  I'm skipping this one.

I honestly think there should frequently be a Vader, Luke, Han, R2, and Stormtrooper in circulation.  It doesn't have to be new as far as I'm concerned - just roll out something you've released before for the retail assortment.  This is where I'd love to see a two line approach for Star Wars, like they used to have with the Greatest Hits line.  Maybe even make it 5POA if you need to, but always have the main characters available in the 3.75" scale and ideally at a more budget friendly price.  They should have done this instead of the 4" Epic Heroes (or whatever) line they've got out now.

I'm only seeing the four pack on Pulse.  No sign of it on EE, Amazon, or Disney.

My only gripe is that Enoch should be by himself on a card.

I wouldn't mind a troop builder pack of those stormtroopers.

They'll probably grant your wish and release him on a card with slightly different deco or a different accessory.

It looks like for March and through May the 4th (not sure its every week) they're releasing some products for pre-order.  They call it "Imperial March".

For TVC this week they've got the following:
- Captain Enoch & Thrawn's Night Troopers 4 pack (Fan channel and Amazon exclusives)
- Darth Vader
- Stromtrooper

These are up for pre-order at 1pm ET today.

I've seen some talk that the Stormtroper is the former Walmart exclusive (TVC 231).  Not sure if the Vader is newish.

Also a Black Series 3-pack from Jedi Fallen Order - Second Sister, Cal Kestis, Purge Trooper.  Not sure there are more than a few people left still collecting this line.

Episode this week was a little bit of a snoozer, but I get that they've got to create some character development and rebuild the relationship between Crosshairs and Hunter.  It would have been nice to have a more interesting story to support that theme.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Sales and Discounts

I've been tempted to get an Indy figure and wonder what the experts (Jeff) would suggest.  I guess the iconic one I think of is the Temple Escape one. I thought there was another one in the Adventure Series that was similar (the same?), but didn't come with the idol , but apparently that sold out.

Target had a couple of exclusive Indy variants too.  I got a bunch of them and in general they're all really well done.  Pick your favorite scene and get one!

I grabbed some of the Indy stuff I passed on earlier.  The Marcus Brody and Belloq 2-pack is marked way down.

I like how they've lost control of some of the experiments they're doing, so much so that they've had to abandon whole planets.
