It is interesting to see they managed to get the new Hammerhead onto a standard card, w/ a standard bubble. It is almost like the regular version didn't need to be a Deluxe figure at all...

That extra hand, drinking glass, POTF2 homage blaster, and Saga 2006 homage spear must cost a lot more than we think...

Hasbro will read this and Momaw will be re-released on a standard card minus the homage blaster, spear, and extra hand.

Does the Cantina Adventure Set come as a carboard playset, or is it just the four repainted figures?  Not sure I need repaints of these...

It comes with the carboard playset, Dave.  For me, it's a fun set.  Just wish Walrusman was more like the vintage (without the jacket), but it is what it is.  Wonder what the price point will be?

I agree, I wish there was more love for Andor (among the many other sources that are lacking in representation).

Yeah, I had some questions, too, some the same as you, McMetal.  I only got to the first episode tonight and missed what the point of the ISB meeting.  I'll have to rewatch that scene again.

I guess I'm not as attentive as some because Rhydonium has been in Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch and now Andor.  Not sure if it matters much to the whole story but with as volatile as it is, it might be why Saw gets the way he does (and bye bye Wil. Man.)

The Dedro-Syril relationship got me thinking.  With Syril on Ghorman, is it transactional?  Could he just be a pawn in Dedro's game of thrones?

Bix's character is rather tragic so far.  She's lost a lot of close people to her, tortured, and almost raped by the Michael Sheen looking Imperial, has PTSD, and now doing drugs.  Her plot could end in many ways, but I could see that she potentially becomes a liability and Andor has to make a hard choice (or maybe Luthen has her taken care of, which Cassian then takes him out).

maybe the next 2 episodes explain things?

I'm hoping they aren't going to charge a fee for stuff that's in Pile of Loot that came in before all this "fun" happened.  That would be upsetting.

Throughout all the years of collecting, I've never bought a Bantha (lack of space).  I suppose I will finally buy one (even with lack of space).

Gideon is also long overdue.  Agree with Ryan that not including an unhelmeted head is an odd choice. 

Then that would make him a deluxe figure and then collectors would complain about the price point... [/s]

but I guess the head from the regular head fits (though he would be incorrect since this version has no mustache).  It's probably a means to rerelease this version without the helmet down the road.

EDIT: had to change up the first sarcastic line since it thought I was doing a strike-through.

I got a shipping notice last night.  So yeah, this one's on the way from Pulse.

Same here!

Hasbro Pulse sent me an email saying my new approximate ship date is... today.  But no actual shipping notice.

I got a bunch of those as well.  Some of the new ship dates have already passed though, so I'll get them when I do.
