Not 100% certain on the order of release, but starting a thread for these now. Looks like this will be the next wave after the Jedi repack wave.
Confirmed via Hasbro Pipeline reveals:
2022 VC2xx Yoda {repack w/photo-real update}
2022 VC2xx Clone Trooper (501st Legion) {repack w/photoreal update}
2022 VC2xx Mandalorian Death Watch Airborne Trooper
2022 VC2xx Ahsoka Tano (Corvus)
Rumored from Jayson's list (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2021/01/27/2021-master-upc-dpci-sku-list-update/)
2022 VC2xx “Bethesda” –*new* figure from The Mandalorian
-
These two were revealed on SW.com's Bring Home the Bounty Week 3 (https://www.starwars.com/bring-home-the-bounty/week-3) this morning. Should be going up for pre-order tomorrow, 10/27 at 10am PT.
2022 VC2xx Mandalorian Death Watch Airborne Trooper
2022 VC2xx “Mesa” – *new* figure from The Mandalorian = Ahsoka Tano (Corvus)

Those both look amazing.
As someone who is just now watching The Clone Wars and only finished season one… were there a fixed number of these Mandos or were there tons of them?
-
Death Watch seemed like a fairly sizable organization. I don't know if I would call it a full blown army, but it was definitely a powerful faction.
The Mandalorian seems to be based on the live action design from the flashback scenes in The Mandalorian series on Disney+. While the coloring is similar to the Death Watch armor in the Clone Wars animated series, the Death Watch members in CW have armor that's much more like that of Jango Fett in appearance.
As for these reveals? I'm very happy to see them - especially Ahsoka! I was concerned that it might be a while before a Corvus Ahsoka would come out, and Hasbro would try to get people to buy the retro collection version because of FOMO. But this a fantastic representation of Ahsoka from The Mandalorian.
-
So you’d army build them the same way you would any troop, it’s not like getting five of them gets you the whole gang like Bala Tik’s guys?

It's definitely open ended like that. If you watch some of the battle scenes from the Siege of Mandalore in CW season 7 you'll get a sense of things.
-
So we're getting three different Ahsoka Tanos in a year.
I like this new figure, but I'm not sure this is the best idea.

Got it, thanks!

Of all those Ahsokas, this is the only one that's worth doing IMO. At least it's a new take, specific to a new thing.
-
Agree Rob. I love the look of the Mando Season 2 Ahsoka. I just did a review of the Clone Wars season 7 one (I may have been the last person to get that figure).
I'm thinking more about the casual fans, or parents looking for a toy for their kids. Of course, seeing action figures on the pegs is more and more rare, so it may be a moot point. :D
-
Right on.
Also, is it weird that they didn’t just reveal these two during the Star Wars section of Pulse Con?
Like, we probably would have been much more impressed if they’d shown them in that group.
-

Nope. The "Bring Home the Bounty" thing is running weekly through 12/28 so Hasbro had to save a few things to get peppered in and revealed piecemeal during the promo event.
There are a couple more rumored Mando TVC figures ("Bethesda" and "olympia"), pipeline TVC figures (like Tank Driver Din Djarin), and more Black Series 6" figures that were saved for future SW.com "bring home the bounty" reveals.
-
So bring home the bounty is the new Mando Monday?
-
So bring home the bounty is the new Mando Monday?
Yeah, "new" product reveals on Tuesdays and then pre-orders on Wednesdays. Not all "new" reveals are new though (last week's "reveal" was for the sold out Target TVC Droids figures ::)) and not everything will go up for pre-order right away (like how The Client was revealed yesterday but not up for pre-order until later).
-
Do we know if these guys are up for preorder at all the usual places... anywhere specific? Any product links yet?
-
I'm curious to see what the case pack is going to be like for this. I'm definitely going to order multiples of the troopers in addition to the case itself.
EDIT:
This Star Wars The Vintage Collection Action Figures case contains 8 individually packaged figures:
2x Ahsoka Tano (Corvus)
1x TBD
2x Death Watch Mandalorian
2x TBD
1x TBD
(subject to change)
-
They're up on Pulse now... The Deathwatch Airborne Trooper is capped at 2.
I don't see them on Target, Walmart, Amazon...
-
They are up on Entertainment Earth as well without the Pulse limits. I ordered a case, plus three extra Deathwatch troopers.
EE's not sure about the case breakdown, here's what they have:
2x Ahsoka
2x Deathwatch trooper
2x TBD (Assuming 501st trooper)
1x TBD (assuming Yoda)
-
I ordered on EE. I ordered the case, plus another Ahsoka and 4 x Death Watch Mando's.
I'm a little disappointed that they haven't officially revealed the rest of the assortment, at least by name. Especially since some of them have been announced via the pipeline reveals.
The EE product listing has the case assortment as follows:
2x Ahsoka Tano (Corvus)
1x TBD
2x Death Watch Mandalorian
2x TBD
1x TBD
(subject to change)
Jeff mentioned earlier in the thread that this wave would have Yoda, the 501st trooper and 1 x figure TBD. I guess we have to wait and see on that one.
-
I want to order some from EE, but they want $17 to ship me 5 figures. I just can't.
I'm going to wait for them to show up on Amazon or Target where the shipping is free.
-
2x Ahsoka
2x Deathwatch trooper
2x TBD (Assuming 501st trooper)
1x TBD (assuming Yoda)
I believe that the 2x in the case are the three new figures from The Mandalorian - Ahsoka, Death Watch, and "Bethesda" (who you can guess if you keep up with all Jayson's social channels/clues) and the 1x per case are the repacks (Yoda, 501st Clone). Subject to Hasbro shenanigans of course. :-\
-
I finally found product pages at Target and they say preorders are already sold out....
-
Still nothing I can find on Amazon.
-
Here are the Target links in case anyone wants to refresh them to see if anything changes...

Alright, 20 minutes is as long as I'm willing to sit here refreshing these dumb pages. Hopefully the Airborne trooper isn't too hard to buy a few of...
-

I can appreciate your feelings about the shipping costs. I don't like it either, but it has started to come across to me as the cost of doing business. Spread across 13 figures, the $17 shipping seems high, but not exactly egregious. Especially since the order may be spread over several different shipments.
While EE isn't exactly super fast with their cross country shipping, I feel like I'm still benefiting. The quality of what I receive is excellent in terms of condition - Amazon is a crapshoot there. EE's order fulfillment seems much more expedited compared to Pulse. And I'm STILL waiting on a number of Target and Walmart preorders that seem like they're shipping in kind of a haphazard way.
...and I don't have to run around all over the area trying to track down new figures.
-
Rob, you can also check Dorksidetoys.com, they have both, no limits on the troopers. Free shipping on orders over a certain threshold. I got 1x Ahsoka and 6x Mandalorians, and it was free.
-
Pulse is only $7 shipping. Much more reasonable, although we'll probably have to wait longer for fulfillment.
-
Yeah I open all my stuff so I don’t care about condition. That said, I apparently did get free shipping, I thought super saver was only for in stock items, but ordering six Mandos made it free. So I’m good.

Was dorkside charging more than $13.99? I don’t order from them and didn’t want to go through all the steps to enter stuff in before it would show me shipping quotes, so I got lazy and shut it down. :)
Pulse is only $7 shipping. Much more reasonable, although we'll probably have to wait longer for fulfillment.
I signed up for the year, so $0 shipping for me there / it’s already paid for… might as well take advantage with troop building stuff.

Thanks! I just grabbed two more Deathwatch and an extra Ahsoka.
-
I just ordered two more Deathwatch troopers with the Amazon link. Thanks Jeff!
-
I ordered entirely too many of these. I might cancel some, but I figured they'll be scarce and it would be nice to have a bunch in the CW section of the shelves, and in the Mando section.
-
Death watch guys X2 on hasbro, x4 on Amazon, and a case of all the rest. It’s gonna be a painful wave when it comes due but those DW guys are damn slick army builders.

^ Truth.
How many Deathwatch did you all order? I maxed out at 8, but I keep getting tempted to make it a solid 10. I think they'll look good with Bo Katan. They were with her at the Siege of Mandalore, right? I know they were originally the terrorist group, but didn't they make up her army eventually? Eh...they'll look fine.
-
I think I've got 8 on order - 2 in the case, another 4 from EE and 2 more from Amazon.
-
I feel so inadequate - I only ordered 2x Death Watch Mando. :-[
-
I ordered 20. :-X
I’ll probably cancel all but 6 or 12 but I’m not sure how I want to use them yet… might put some with live action CW and some with Mando… I just figured they’ll be tough to get later and it would be easier to have the option. At the end of the day I definitely do not plan on spending $300 on this guy.
-

That's good because the next wave is chock full of army builders - 332nd Clone, Mando Super Commando, and the yet-to-be revealed "Olympia".
-
True. That said, I don't particularly like the 332nd clone, I'll go way lighter on that one.
This Deathwatch fella though... love this figure.
-
Wow Rob! I thought getting seven total was a lot. I just figured enough for a small squad led by Bo Katan would look good in my Mando section!
-
I'm probably going to cancel a bunch and end up around there. I just wanted to make sure I had the option.
-
I'm mulling over buying the wave 10 case to bump up my count to 6. (2x HasbroPulse, 2x Amazon) Not knowing what else is in the case beside Ahsoka and the Death Watch Mando is like buying one of those mystery bags. Kinda fun.
-
Wait, isn't the Mandalorian Super Commando just the one guy who leads Maul's army?
-
Wait, isn't the Mandalorian Super Commando just the one guy who leads Maul's army?
The Super Commandos (https://www.starwars.com/databank/mandalorian-super-commando) were more than just him - when Death Watch splintered (after Maul killed Vizla), half of them went to Bo-Katan's side and the other half went to Maul's side. The Maul supporters repainted their armor red/black and were the Super Commandos. Their leader, Gar Saxon, took it a step further and added horns to his helmet.
If Hasbro goes with Gar Saxon's horned helmet look for the figure then yeah, it's just the one guy. IF they throw us a bone with another non-horn helmet head, then he's kind of an army builder.
(https://lumiere-a.akamaihd.net/v1/images/mandalorian-super-commando-main_17e3991e.jpeg)
-
Oh you know they're going to do both. An army builder that you can slap some horns on and sell it again probably has them drooling over in Rhode Island.
-
And I'd buy a ton of them!
On a not entirely unrelated note, there's a hypothesis that the Armorer from the Mandalorian is one of the Maul-supporting Mandalorians due to the horns on her helmet.
-
And I would totally welcome female Super Commando figures.
-
I wonder if Hasbro is placing an educated bet, or has got some insight for season 3 of The Mandalorian.
I'm hoping season 3 gets to the story of unifying Mandalore and we get to see a bunch more Death Watch, super commando, etc. Mandalorians in action.
-
Aoska and the Death Watch trooper are really sharp. I really want to army build the blue Death Watch Mandos, I missed the pre-orders everywhere, hopefully these don't go for too much later, I am hoping for at least a dozen.
I am down for more 501st clones, but I wish we were getting a 332nd instead, to go along with the new Asokas.
-

2022 VC2xx “Bethesda” –*new* figure from The Mandalorian
I believe Fennic is "Bethesda" that Jayson has been rumoring. Like Matt said in the other thread, Pre-Order tomorrow 10am PT / 1pm ET - should be all over the place for this one.

That figure looks awesome!

Finally, an action figure that can get loaded on Spatchka!
-
Oooooo... That is real solid.
Hopefully we get a Boba to match with another (bigger) bottle of Spatchka.
(Edit just saw the deluxe figure. I don't also want a basic Boba unless it is substantially different.)
It is interesting that this was rumored to be a figure from "The Mandalorian" which of course Fennic is, but they have her on a "Book of Boba Fett" card with this release. I'd love it if she was actually in a different wave, and we still end up getting a new Darktrooper from "The Mandalorian" in Wave 3. (Not at all expecting that, I just want some new Darktroopers damnit.)

Entertainment Earth updated this case assortment following the Fennec Shand reveal:
2x Ahsoka Tano (Corvus)
1x TBD
2x Death Watch Mandalorian
2x Fennec Shand
1x TBD

One of the TBD figures i rumored to be Yoda. I wonder what the other will be?

I've had this case on order through EE, so I'm not completely worried about getting Fennec Shand today. But I would like to get an extra in the event that Ming Na-Wen gets out some more on the autograph circuit.

EE shows this case shipping in June. But the individual listings for Fennec Shand listings say October. Information for these delivery dates is all over the place.

EE shows this case shipping in June. But the individual listings for Fennec Shand listings say October. Information for these delivery dates is all over the place.
Remember that all of the figures are now available in solid figure cases and that is how most e-tailers order them these days for all the single-figure pre-sales (It's the only way Amazon gets their figures for example). It could just be that the mixed-wave cases were manufactured before the solid figure cases and so they will arrive at different times due to different manufacturing runs and whatnot.
-

I've seen that before. Cases tend to ship earlier than their single carded figures...I have two Ahsoka Tano fifures that are scheduled to ship in March. ::)
-
Jayson posted some carded pics on YakFace Twitter (https://twitter.com/yak_face/with_replies). Yoda is now confirmed as an ESB carded version. I can't really tell if this is a re-use of the 2013 Black Series 3.75" Yoda or the one from the 2019 TVC Cave of Evil 3-pack. The accessories are from the 2013 Yoda for sure but hard to tell what figure is under that robe...
VC218 Yoda
VC219 Death Watch Mandalorian
VC221 Fennec Shand

-
All three look great! I want to say that Yoda is a repackaged version of the Black Series one, but I'm not 100% sure looking at the head.
I don't see why they wouldn't use that one though....it's a fantastic figure!
-
Man that Death Watch Mando looks GREAT. I can't wait to get those guys in hand. Fennec looks great on the card, with the removable helmet, 2 blasters, and the bootle spatchka - I'm somewhat surprised Hasbro didn't market her as a deluxe figure, that bottle of spatchka is worth at least an extra $10. :P
I do love the look of Yoda and might be down for another. Did either the 2013 or the 2019 Yoda's have ball-jointed elbows or were the both swivel elbows? Aside from the belt not staying clasped, that is my biggest gripe with the one I have. Sometimes the swivel joint pops out when I am moving the arms and it is a real pain to try and pop it back in place without fully taking the robe off.
-
Did either the 2013 or the 2019 Yoda's have ball-jointed elbows or were the both swivel elbows?
2013 Black Series 3.75" #22 Yoda was basically a 5POA figure with no elbows or knees IIRC.
For the Yoda from the 2019 Cave of Evil 3-pack at Target, Hasbro took the VC20 Yoda sculpt (ball joint knees, swivel elbows) and gave it a new ESB head and then the accessories from the 2013 TBS 3.75" figure.
The way the arms are sticking out on the carded figure and the look of the head sculpt makes me think it's probably the 2019 Cave of Evil version but I guess I can't say for sure.
-
Glad to see the new images. The Death Watch Mandalorian looks really good. I was reading some comments about the figure elsewhere, and people were referring to the Death Watch Mandalorians from those flashback scenes as "1 stripe", "2 stripes" and "3 stripes". And it turns out that's how you can differentiate between the various Mandalorians in that scene - 3 stripes is the one that rescues the young Din Djarin from the cellar where he's hiding. And the others are fighting the Super Battle Droids. The funny thing here? The Mando in the cardback artwork has 1 stripe, but the figure has 2. So could this make for another troop builder 4-pack? It certainly seems like an option that I would think Hasbro might explore.
Yoda looks good. I can appreciate the gripes about this being a reissue. But the paint apps look substantially better than the Cave of Evil release. And compared to the VOTC release which has the same cardback art? I've got to say that I like this one better from the standpoint of the complete presentation.
-
Is that Clone Wars or Mandalorian artwork on the Mandalorian Death Watch trooper? It looks vaguely animation-style...

I hadn't noticed that before about the stripes. Now that you pointed it out, that seems like that would be an easy pick for a future Troop Builder 4-Pack.
Is that Clone Wars or Mandalorian artwork on the Mandalorian Death Watch trooper? It looks vaguely animation-style...
It is based on the scene from The Mandalorian - all those sparks behind him match up to the scene where 1 Stripe (pictured) lands and motions for 3 Stripe to take off jetpack style with 'lil Din.
-
I was just looking through some screencaps because I wanted to see the stripes a bit closer. The cardback image is a still from chapter 8 of "The Mandalorian" during a flashback scene.
The funny thing? I found Death Watch Mandalorians who didn't appear to have any stripes. "1 stripe" is the Mando featured on the cardback - despite the figure having 2 stripes. And "3 stripes" is the Mandalorian that picks up the young Din Djarin from his hiding place, and eventually flies him out of the battlefield.
I actually had a total of 8 of the Death Watch Mandalorians on preorder - 2 in a case, another 4 from EE, and 2 more from Amazon. But after seeing the individual markings it made me realize that it might make troop building with them a little weird - especially if Hasbro goes the route of making a troop builder 4-pack with varying markings on the armor. So I cut my orders down to 4 of them.
-
Interesting. Just a slightly odd image (to me anyway) then.
As for pre-orders, I think I pre-ordered 18 or 20 of them. :-X
Going to talk myself out of keeping that many though. I was thinking I'd throw a few over by the Clone Wars stuff too.
-

With so much coming from that final Clone Wars season (Ahsoka, Maul, 332nd Clone, Mando Super Commando) I am guessing that eventually Hasbro will give us a TVC 3.75" version of the Mandalorian Loyalist from Clone Wars (like they put in the Black Series (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Star-Wars-The-Black-Series-Mandalorian-Loyalist-Action-Figure/744349731)) so save your money for some of those too...
-
I’m still wondering if that Mandalorian Airborne Trooper from the pipeline reveal is still in the works? Because the artwork in the pipeline presentation was for the Loyalist from the Clone Wars animated series. Or was that just a case of mistaken identity for the Death Watch Mandalorian?
-
TVC 3.75" Death Watch Mandalorian is back up for pre-order at Amazon if you previously missed him or are looking for more -> https://amzn.to/3GFs1Fk #ad #sponsoredlink

That was quick, out of stock again already?
-
Man, that was less than 5 minutes. People love Mandalorians, I guess?
-
Today's livestream 3.75" reveals:
Pre-Order tomorrow, 2/10, at 1pm ET
- 501st Clone Trooper - has a new head sculpt from previous TVC figure (head is a repaint of one of the heads from TVC Bad Batch 4-pack)
- ESB Yoda (which we *think* is a carded repack/repaint of the TVC Cave of Evil 3-pack Yoda)
-
That's an interesting development regarding the 501st Clone Trooper. The new head looks remarkably better, and the card art looks cool. And you can't help but appreciate this development since the 501st was such a prominent part of the Clone Wars series. But I suspect that the body is going to be the same as recent Clone Trooper releases.
-
I missed that part of the stream, hopefully they release the official promo images later today. I'll be interested in seeing the change on this one. I could use a few more of these to go with my CW stuff.
-
FYI, if you're placing preorders through EE this afternoon, this coupon code is still valid: 2103212
I just ordered Yoda and a case of the 501st Clones and it saved me $15.
-
Anybody find the clone trooper on Amazon?
-
I haven't seen him on Amazon. He's on Pulse, but limit of 2. He's $15.99 for some reason at Dorkside. They're usually my go to for pre-orders, but that seems a bit steep for army building.
-
The 501st Clone and Yoda were $13.99 at EE.
As much I've railed against them for their shipping, I have found them to be the most consistent etailer of the lot. Amazon is great in terms of availability. But the condition of your order is always a big question mark until it actually arrives.
-
I've given up on ordering the loose TVC figures. I can't find them, they're always a few bucks extra, sometimes with shipping. And my Amazon TVC figures always get mangled. These last two releases I've decided to try ordering EE cases. I get at least one of everything anyway and the price per figure is $12.76 with the coupon.

EE gets both solid cases of individual characters as well as the case assortment of the whole wave. Individual figure orders get fulfilled from the solid cases.
I just ordered 8 x 501st Clones. Since they ship in a case of 8 the way EE will ship those will be in a case.

I have been swamped at work this afternoon so not sure if 501st went up and sold out or if it hasn't gone live yet. The link was not up the last time I checked (1pm CT) but it's up now (3pm CT) and showing unavailable.
-
I checked a bunch all afternoon for the clone trooper with no results and now it’s sold out. I sure hope it’s just delayed in going live for preorders.
-
Thanks Jeff, I nabbed the Yoda. Will probably grab a couple of the clones too (if it goes back up).
-
Yoda and 501st are both available to pre-order right now. I was able to order 2x 501st Clone. Here are the links again:

501st unavailable. Not sure if it sold out or what. Would maybe like a couple of him but I’m not sure if I care about clones anymore unless they’re new or special in some way.
-
That’s my approach too. I managed to order 2 from Pulse and 2 from Amazon and that’s more than enough. Especially when I already have a dozen 501st clones in various other sculpts.

YakFace has reports that this wave is already starting to surface at retail in Australia. I still wonder if Fennec is "Bethesda" figure Jayson has on his rumor list? Even though she is on a BOBF card. Maybe there was just some initial confusion and she was originally supposed to be in this wave on a Mandalorian card? (Yoda also seems to be missing from the picture.)

Either way, cool to see these are starting to show up over-seas. I wonder how long it will actually take to get them on a boat, ship them over here and then get them off said boat? Hopefully we will see these stateside before too long, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Yes - Jayson knew Bethesda was Fennic but got the card wrong (Hasbro pulled a last-minute swap to the TBOBF card). He said something about it back in December around the time Fennic went up for pre-order...
I believe Fennic is "Bethesda" that Jayson has been rumoring.

Sometimes reading is hard. I felt I even scanned the thread an everything. Thanks Jeff!

I guess the numbers are out (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2022/03/02/tvc-ahsoka-and-501st-vc-numbers/#disqus_thread) for Ahsoka and the 501st Clone.
VC222 Ahsoka Tano
VC240 501st Clone Trooper
That's quite the jump from Kuill at VC227 all the way to VC240 for the 501st clone... I wonder if production delays caused that? Or if it is just another instance of Hasbro not being great at counting / numbering things in general?
-
The numbers are a mess at this point.
- Yavin Leia had 2 numbers VC164; changed to VC150 and VC164 given to Cara Dune
- There are two figures with VC177 (Incinerator Trooper and Mando/Grogu pack #1 Season 1)
- I think VC188 is still missing
- There are two figures with VC211 (Elite Squad Trooper and Mando/Grogu pack #2 Maldo Kries)
VC228 - VC239 are probably a bunch of stuff in the pipeline we've already pre-ordered (three Gaming Greats ARC Troopers; Target Morak Fett, Migs, Axe, Koska; etc) and stuff they haven't announced yet...
-
At this point, the VC numbers are pretty much the points on Whose Line is it Anyway.
-
Case orders of this wave are currently processing from Entertainment Earth. Looking forward to getting my case at last. But hopefully this is the beginning of the US finally getting some of the new figures that have been showing up in other markets.
-
Don't worry Nick...everything is going to process and ship in June while I'm in the middle of my move. :D
-
Amazon must be expecting to get these soon as they have upped my Ahsoka date from 6/3 to 5/19. Hoping Death Watch Mando and Fennec are not far behind...
-
Some of mine just moved up to 6/3.
-
Got my case last week. It's such a great wave of figures! I've only opened Fennec Shand, Ahsoka and the Death Watch Mandalorian so far. Each of them is just so well done.
I had been concerned about the tabbards interfering with Ahsoka's legs. But the way Hasbro has been sculpting these intricate parts of costumes has been a bit of a game changer. The only picking point I have is with the lightsabers. I think they look good, but a more opaque white material might have helped them translate a bit better for the figure.
Next up? Some individual orders. I've got a case of the 501st Clones on the way now. And I'm waiting on some extras of Yoda, Fennec Shand and Ahsoka to arrive at some point soon.

So, my two Death Watch Mando figures were updated to 5/18 today, then shipped and arrived all in about 12 hours. Meanwhile, My Ahsoka Amazon pre-order now says 5/24-5/30. Nothing for Fennec yet though...
-
Found this whole wave at Target today and was very grateful to pick up the 501st trooper which is the one TVC Clone Wars figure I was not able to preorder at the time. Huge relief to have him checked off the List.
-
Got a notice from Amazon that my Fennec figures are shipping...
"Your package is arriving earlier than we previously expected.
It’s now arriving: Thursday, May 26
Previously expected: Wednesday, October 5"
Man, that is a refreshing change from all the crazy delays the past year. Hoping this is a sign that Hasbro is finally catching up... hope my wallet can handle the oncoming deluge of product. :P
-
I got 2x DW Mandos and Ahsoka from Hasbro in the big box (been getting single figures in the big boxes lately) and it's the first time I've ever received damaged figures from Pulse. I'm actually surprised by this as the box is actually in pretty decent shape.

The same person must have packed mine... I got one single Ahsoka from Pulse in a box that was about 18"x10"x10"
-
Although it's borderline ridiculous the boxes they are putting one or two figures in, I'm kind of appreciative right now because of the move. :D
-
EE finally delivered the extra Ahsoka (Corvus) that I ordered, and I've got a couple of DW Mandalorians on the way. But man, the disparity in delivery dates seems to be all over the place with these compared to when the full wave cases shipped.
