Oh my God, I cannot believe these madmen actually did it. Rereleases of some of the biggest pegwarmers of the entire 6 inch line! And two of the three new figures are exclusives, to Target, so good luck fighting over the 5000 figure production run.

I mean I'll admit that the new Photoreal faces look GREAT, but I'll wait for the rest of those to join their 2016 brethren at Five Below.

The only exciting thing there are the Pipeline reveals. I wonder if the HasLab project will be something Jabba's Palace related? Maybe a rerelease of Jabba with a throne room diorama, to go with the ROTJ Bib Fortuna? A 6 inch scale Rancor? Both would fit the timeframe for ROTJ's 40th in 2023 too.

Wonder if they'll go the Main Character route for the Archive wave, or with more Army Builders. I don't believe the recent reproduction run of Captain Rex is an archive figure?

Got my shipping notice this afternoon.

These were all sold out online by the time I could get to them, and in a totally shocking shock, none of the 5 Targets I checked had put any of these out. Pegs were untouched, no special end cap, nothing in the Father’s Day area. Fun fun fun.

Amazon just delivered my Greedo after a few ETA changes, so now I have all of these. Kind of kicking myself for not buying an extra Jawa and Kenobi to make a vinyl Jawa, and throw the Photoreal Alec Guinness head onto the regular Old Ben figure from 2016

Was just able to secure a Rampart preorder. Kind of annoying I had to preorder both separately, but oh well. Hopefully none of the orders get canceled.

The GameStop exclusives are up now.  But the price for each one is now $26.99

Plus $6 shipping...  So basically $33 a figure.  Ouch.  I may have to rethink getting these GameStop exclusives.

I'm going to preorder in-store. Cuts down on a few of those costs at least. Might be Gamestop's way of driving more traffic to the stores.

Did anybody manage to get Admiral Rampart?

I haven't seen him go up for order.  I was able to order him a few days ago using Jayson's secret link, but Walmart just cancelled that order.   

Not yet. I was able to get a Shocktrooper Commander though.

Now, this may shock some of you but I kinda like removable helmets.  But you can’t do that on a Luke like this without the head looking oddly small or the hat looking oddly large.

In a perfect world, we'd get 2 different head sculpts (one with a helmet, one without), and a spare empty helmet.
