2021 Target TVC Blue Leader's X-Wing with General Merrick

[Jesse James]

I’ll keep ya in mind man.  I def won’t want to keep the ship, and only want Merrick.

Does anyone have a photo of General Merrick's astromech?  I think it's the one with the red body and R2-D2's head, but I'm not 100% sure.

[Jesse James]

I was thinking the same.  There were or are several with that body and a unique dome tho.  Silver and black and a silver R3 came to mind.

I have no idea so I'm just going to grab one of the Disney droids from that Rogue One Droid Factory 4-pack and call it good.

I'm starting to think the same thing.  If you've seen my room tour video, I have plenty of astromechs on my Rebel Hangar table.  I just realized I'm going to have to do some serious rearranging on that table to fit this X-wing!

Thanks P-Siddy.

So to be movie accurate, it would need to be a red body, with red legs and R2-D2's dome.

I am planning a trip to Disneyland this fall.....

Found this in the TVC Facebook group.

[Rob]

Yesterday it just wasn't available, now it's listed as Sold Out.  Did a pre-order window open and shut while I wasn't looking??

[Matt_Fury]

I don't think so Rob....still just a placeholder.

[Dave]

I can't imagine this will be that hard to come by when it is officially launched.

[Mister Skeezler]

Has anyone else noticed that the product page for this has pretty much rolled back to a headline and nothing else?

[Rob]

It seems to be gone from the app. 

[Nicklab]

It sounds like we're probably in for a big drop in pre-orders tomorrow.  All of them are likely to be announced in the livestream in at 11:00 ET

[Mister Skeezler]

Let's ******* hope so. Anything's better than just sitting around.
