If these are still available when I'm in WDW in a few weeks?  I might buy another.  But I'm shocked that there's still a fair amount available.

I have mixed feelings about this batch of reveals.  But then I have cut back on my Black Series purchases dramatically.

-Prince Xizor - I never had a lot of attachment to Shadows of the Empire.  But it's probably because I got back into Star Wars around 1998, which was after the window of time for SOTE.  Still, Jayson found a blurb in the Xizor press release that make it appear as though Dash Rendar, Luke and Leia from SOTE might also be on the way.  But that's still not a factor for me.
-Commander Bacara - This is a MAYBE for me.  Because I'm thinking about also getting Ki-Adi Mundi, and the two figures seem to complement one another.
-Commando Droid - Impressive!  And I might be getting this one.

-Dagan Gera - Interesting design - especially the lost arm.  But a pass
-Luke and Leia - AGAIN?  I don't know.  Maybe I'll sell my old versions and get these.  But it's not inspiring to get repeats on main characters when the way TBS launched was with the promise of getting these main characters right the first time.

The tracks in the sand next to Luke are definitely intriguing.  And since they're single file?  I think they might be getting ready to release a bantha!

And then there are the tracks in front of the Jawa.  To me, those look more like something a dewback would leave.

Then, there's a blurry spot on the sand behind the wall of the new playset.  Could it be a hint of the "force field" that's seen beneath the landspeeder?

Jake from 4Lom To Zuckuss is saying that what's landing at Tatooine Traders will be the last of the 3000 units.  If this is in fact the case?  Then I suspect that this could be a supply that was on hand in the event that people received their Starspeeder damaged, there were shipping issues, etc.

However, I still find it to be completely absurd that Disney would invest so much capital into this new Starspeeder vehicle / playset to limit the production run to 3000 pieces globally.  I think it's entirely possible that a pared down version that has fewer features might be offered for sale at the Disney Parks.  That could mean possibly without the base, or with just one RX pilot droid, etc.

I think your skepticism probably serves you well, Rob!

Predictions?

Figures:
IG-12 w/Grogu - Likely built with some IG-11 parts.  Hopefully they fix the elbow joints
Moff Gideon (Dark Trooper Armor) - Likely to be new.  But I think some parts will re-appear elsewhere
Jod Na Nawood (Skeleton Crew) - This is Jude Law's character.  I imagine there will be some parts re-use like boots or legs.
Cobb Vanth (BOBF) - I could see this coming from a mile away when the TM series 2 armored Cobb Vanth was announced.  Glad this isn't going to linger un-made.


PREDICTIONS
1x from Jedi Survivor - I don't know the game.  But predictions?  Cal as an Inquisitor.  It's being done in TBS, and the Grand Inquisitor might be the basis for this.
2x from The Mandalorian - I'm going villains here - Imperial Praetorian Guard and Imperial Armored Commando
3x from Star Wars Rebels - Hera Syndulla (Season 1), Ezra Bridger (Season 1) and Agent Kallus
1x from Obi-Wan Kenobi - Tala Durith (Imperial Officer) - I think the Dedra Meero sculpt is going to be put to immediate use here.  Fifth Brother Inquisitor is a wishlist item
1x from Andor - Cassian from season 2 in the same look as The Black Series
3x from A New Hope - The cynic in me says Commander Praji as a quasi O96 Imperial Commander, General Dodonna built from the Captain Antilles model, and perhaps 1 cantina alien

1x Deluxe – $24.99 - Saw Gerrera
1x Playset – $59.99 - Seatos henge with Morgan Elsbeth's troopers (wishlist item)

The figures included with the Ghost are all Rebels season 3 and 4.  This Sabine and Chopper are from season 3, IIRC.

So far, only the TVC mainline Kanan and deluxe Zeb represent any of the Spectres from season 1 of Rebels.  The current versions of Ezra, Hera, Sabine and Chopper are all sourced from AHSOKA.  I'm hopeful for season 1 versions of Hera and Ezra, plus Kallus.  And down the line I think Hasbro will likely touch on the rest of the crew from other seasons, plus Rex and Ahsoka.

Paid and ready to ship.  This is one that I'm really looking forward to, as Hasbro gets really serious about releasing the crew of the Ghost.

I do this, too.  It’s a good firewall between my eBay business and my household finances.
