I just realized that Kino must be using the tasteless food paste dispenser as the pomade to keep his hair so slick and now I can't think of anything else.

I think that's what happens to your hair when you don't get a shower, just a disinfecting spray from time to time.  Can't imagine the smell in there...

Great episode. 

I loved the tension on the work team with those that are short on days just wanting to get it over with, and those that are long on days looking for a way to escape.  It was great seeing how that changed from the begging to the end of the show when they finally realized what had happened on Level 2.  I hope by the end of the next episode Cassian and crew have managed to escape.  I don't think we need to spend any more time in the prison realizing the Empire is bad and enslaving people.

We are spending a bit of time on the Mon Monthma and Syril Karn story lines without much to show for it so far.  I hope it matters by the end.

The pricing for TVC is getting to a point where its a little nuts.  Again, I don't know where all the costs sit for making a new figure and how different they would be between 5POA and TVC, but if 5POA could get us back to a $10 price point with good paint apps, and afford us more new figures, then I would be fine if all figures were made like this.  I don't think it needs to be "kid oriented".  To me this could the the whole line. 

It was a lot easier to buy slightly retooled figures.  Goofy kitbashes, etc. when prices were lower.  At $16+ a pop I've started passing on a lot of the "new" figures.  Skipped the Jabba's goons redos and other recent releases.  Dropping $70 on four figures is lot more money than $40, and that adds up quickly.

This is why I miss the les articulated figures.  I may be in the minority but I’d rather have more character variety and less tooling.

I'm all for it if it saves us money, are easier to design, and make.  I love TVC, but if this is what is holding us back from getting new figures then lets go all 5POA.  Kitbashing is getting really, really old.

I'm hopeful this refresh wave has a different assortment where the previous "rares" are now the common ones.

I wonder if some of the discussion around the community about how Hasbro could re-use parts to make a whole bunch of troopers resonated with Hasbro (Imperial Tank Drivers, Transport Drivers, Mudtroopers, etc), and they thought "Hey!  That's a great idea" and thought that we wouldn't notice the differences with the troopers on Aldhani. 

I'm fine with some trooper kitbashes (ideally still screen accurate though), but along the way we need more truly new figures, new characters, etc.

Do we know what's going on with Cassian on Amazon?  I still can't find him.

Glad these are coming back.  I got most, but not all as the price was too high.  Hopefully another shipment or two of these will bring the prices down.

WOW!  That is a whole lotta Padme!!!  Seven Padme's in the top 30?  It definitely shows that Hasbro really hasn't given her the consideration that she deserves.

And I think partly there isn't much left to make.  Kenner/Hasbro pretty much nailed it.

Padme had several dozen costumes making her options a bit expansive.

Thanks for organizing Steve.   

This one is going to be tough to prioritize as there are so many unmade figures and costumes.   The previous wish lists were kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel as we've had a lot of figures from the OT and PT, but the ST probably could easily have a top 50 without getting too obscure.  Heck, the Knights of Ren are six figures all by themselves.

I did get the sense that the Niktos were protecting Grogu, but didn't know their motive - whether it was force sensitive worship or just hanging on to him until some future time when his force abilities became more powerful and he could be used as a tool.

My guess is we'll get a Nikto multi-pack now with different sashes to go along with the Season 3 release  ;D

Thanks for the link Jeff.  I'll have to start reading those synopsis now that I know they exist.  Good stuff.

Has anyone been able to determine if Jabba's Goons are meaningfully different than what we have already?
