You’re just not looking in the right places for dumb complaining.  There’s still plenty of it haha.

The only character design in Rebels I completely disliked was Zeb.  If they’d done the McQ concept of Chewie we got a figure of, I’d love that look more, but what we got just looked out of place, to me.

Now that said, I’d love to see all the Rebels in TVC, and I’m in the camp that Hera needs her own design separate of the Rebel Pilot figure.  The overalls and stuff is an awesome look to me, though that pilot is a solid base for a custom project and the head is a no brainer there.  I would just love to see a figure like TBS got in 3.75” for her.

I have Kanan TBS and it’s really incredible and would also be an awesome 3.75” Fig.

The way the Disney+ stories are going I’m thinking it could happen some day, but with this line you just don’t know anymore.  Kind of a bummer compared to when this stuff was almost a given and it was the most absurd figures that had the question marks, haha.

Meh...I collect figures that fit into worlds, so I really tend to always skip the gimmick repaints. Sure, Droids is kind of a fun cartoon, but if a figure doesn't look like it's in an actual scene with the figures around it, I'm not interested.

This is where I am too.  Like the gimmicky Marvel R2 worked as a rando R2 deco quite well while the stormtrooper was simply dumb looking.  If this R2 and 3PO work as looking like other droids I’m interested.  The animated Fett worked as a different Mando (as did Marvel Mando figs) so I’m hopeful if they do that again it’s the new sculpt.  I’ll grab that happily.

I don’t expect anything new from these sets though.  Repaints on repaints on repaints.

I kinda want it too.  I got most of the ones I have on clearance including the OG build a Sabre from RadioShack (it’s my fav).  The last I got was a Kylo Ren at Ross and I love it too.  But they’re definitely space hogs and finding wall space isn’t easy for these.  Plus I don’t want them stored anywhere outside without heat and AC.  Chromed stuff takes some care to keep it nice.

But that Rey sabre is awfully nice and among the iconic ones I’d kinda like to have.  Certain ones look good together I think, and hers would look cool with ROTJ Luke and ANH Luke or ROTS Anakin ones, and Kylo’s.

Yeah so far I’d only seen reports from Walmart and I think Macy’s on those.

If a TVC Hera happened, I’d flip my wig.  I’m leaning toward more repaints though, and like Jeff, at $50 for a set they’re needing to really be something else for me to care.

First I’ve heard of that wave at a Target.

My Amazon Jawa extras shipped last weekend sometime.  Sooga sooga sooga sooga!

Agree on all of the above.  Not a bad idea in the bunch.  I’d love to see Hasbro go back to this in some capacity.  We’ve been starved for army builders since retail kind of collapsed.

It’s a solid droid for some dome swaps if you have like the R3 silver one handy, etc

Yeah contacting WM directly should get results.  Had a similar issue years back.  What a friggin mess that was.  Most places just let you change your payment method yourself and it updates all orders.  Places like WM made it overly complex.  EE is great in a lot of ways but cancelling orders there is a real circus.

Tusken is in that new wave.  It’s not popped up in the shippers (yet?🤔).

Seconded

Today was a good day. 

Stormtrooper 4 pack is a welcome addition too.

I’m tingly in my toy nether regions.

Def getting a case and hoping IG11 is multiple in it.

Yeah two more packages showed at my house...  no clue what they are as I’ve lost track of stuff but I think at least one more Tusken and another Luke. 

Glad it’s out of the way now.
