For those that have the exclusive pack that Echo is in, how's the articulation? I've been trying to decide if I want to preorder him, but it looks like the skirt area might make him sort of unposeable. Recommended figure?

It's a great figure.  Well articulated.  You won't be disappointed.

I'm looking forward to making a little Offworld Jawa clan for a Mandalorian diorama.  I'm going to use the larger Disney sandcrawler.  And I have to say, I appreciate one little detail about these new Jawas - the softgoods!  Because I plan on taking off that cloak to set on the ground all by itself, as the remnants of at least one disintegrated Jawa!!!

Just got an email from Target that my Darth Maul and Ahsoka are backordered until July 22.  I had to go in to Target.com and approve the delay otherwise they were going to cancel the order.

Make sure you keep an eye on any Target backorders and approve the delay.  Kind of a different system then anyone else uses.

I ordered this case from EE back in April.  At the time the delivery date was set for July.  Well, it just got pushed back to October.

Hasbro Pulse sent out emails today pushing back Maul and Ahsoka orders to November.  It seems like the solid cases of these particular characters are running behind, because I have seen numerous reports of people receiving the Arvala 7 Jawas from Walmart as well as the old Hasbro Toy Shop eBay account.  Trying to make any sense of when product is going to arrive is increasingly pointless.

My EE order for Ahsoka and Maul (were sold out on Hasbro Pulse so I ordered from EE the day they released) is showing a ship date of March 2022!   :o

BBTS is showing August so I ordered a couple of each from them.

Good catch... I have an EE order but just ordered a pair from BBTS too.  Whichever ships first, I'll cancel the other.

I ordered from Target and they've been pushed back the delivery by a few days about a dozen different times over the past couple of months, but they're still scheduled to ship by August 26th (2021).

I ordered a case of this wave from EE, and my card got charged yesterday.  Was there any kind of email notification?  Of course not.  I saw the news in the Facebook TVC group and checked my EE account along with my credit card.  FFS, how difficult is it to communicate with customers???

That's kind of odd, they always let me know when a pre-order is getting processed.

It's weird that all the full case orders are being processed and all the single orders are having to wait.

I've seen accounts of people receiving the new Jawa from EE.  I think the order processing is usually a first in, first out kind of deal with a lot of things.  I saw some people shared the dates that they ordered this case going back as far as January.  I looked at my own order and was surprised to see that was at the end of April.  But I think the trend with some TVC collectors is to just order the case blind, regardless of what's in it.  I only ordered it when I knew that Maul and Ahsoka were in the case.

It also seems like processing complete case orders does get priority treatment not just from EE, but other online retailers, too.  How that works with EE's mint guarantee is curious though, if they're just sending out a case in another box.  But from a processing standpoint I could see how etailers could fulfill those whole case orders relatively quickly.

As for individual figures?  Again, I think the EE mint guarantee is a complicating factor, and BBTS has a similar kind of guarantee.  Putting some of those orders of individual figures together takes time.  I was surprised to see my Gaming Greats Purge Trooper and Heavy Battle Droid both shipped on the same day, but in separate boxes.  It must just be easier to box up 3 Purge Troopers in one box and 2 Heavy Battle Droids in the other.
