Just got the Phase I clone.  Definitely an improvement on the legs compared to before even though I can't see myself wanting too many of these.  I still like the Evolutions one and have tons of those.

At the very least I do think Pong Krell is an interesting character design.

He's Dexter Jettster with lightsabers.  But still better than another Ahsoka!

It's literally impossible to under-imagine Hasbro's willingness and desire to sell the same figure twice.

Not something I'm in a hurry for, but I'll take it over another Vader, Clone or Mandalorian.

Walmart reduced Leia to $9.96 too… I wonder if Amazon will follow suit again.

I can't wait to pick up even more of them for $4 later!

Did they give a preorder time for these and are we sure that Dark Trooper is a straight re-pack?

Yay, a VC271. That gap was annoying my OCD. Too bad it is just a lackluster repack I don't really need more of.

Yeah, seems like a hard sell at $17 when you can still get the Deluxe version for $15+ at Amazon or Pulse Outlet.

Another one strictly for the carded collectors, I guess.

I bought 6 of them for $9.96 last week.  Amazon can't give these things away.

The HK Droid is a nice and obvious re-use of the sculpt, but as a pair of reveals these are insanely boring.

If you have any of the small Targets near you like I do, it might be worth a look.  The ones by me are putting TVC on clearance for $3.89 each.  Picked these up today for just over $20...

I didn't mean obvious that they'll win from here, I just meant obvious choices out of the 64 we started with.  Like, this is your chance to tell Hasbro you want them to make something that hasn't been made and as a group we picked something that they surely know we want made.

Baylan and Shin it is I suppose.  What incredibly obvious choices.

How's the Finn head? I didn't order him but I might if he's a decent enough improvement.

Super rough though...there's so few actual scenes you can even set up with the ST stuff. I actually took them out of my display shelves until they eventually make some connective tissue there, scene-wise. Poe's orange x-wing is such an awesome ship too, so it's a shame.

They're fine, just unnecessary. They straight up changed Finn's shoe color too.

Here's comparisons, the old ones are on the left... new ones on the right:

Yep.  They've worn me down. 

I'm at the point where I'd rather pay more for NEW characters instead of $16.99 for repacks and repaints and photo-real deco re-releases.  Dream Item doesn't have to mean enormous.  Make a Vader funeral pyre.  A ROTS Sith Throne... a ten pack of cantina aliens or Jabba's palace goons.  A Home Won command center... anything that's not the same stuff over and over again.

To be honest there is a bunch of stuff I'd like them to make, including the rebel transport, but I don't want it to be a $450 version.  A $150-$200 version would be just fine for the rebel transport, a Ahsoka's T-6, First Order troop carrier, Fondor Haulcraft, etc. 

I thought the Mandalorian N-1 was perfect.  Something mid-sized where reasonable compromises are made to keep it affordable.

In fact I'm not sure there is anything on this list that feels like I would want to spend $450 for and have it take up a giant shelf.  Even if they did the cantina I would hope they could find a way to create value without making it too expensive and elaborate (e.g. I don't need piles of Instagram worthy pillows, etc.).

Same.  I don't need everything to be enormous.  I wish they'd use Haslab for more esoteric or risky items even if they're regular sized things.
