Are you saying the factory was just taking orders directly from EE?

Here is a weird one - EE is once again taking pre-orders for the original Walmart exclusive version of the VC231 Stormtrooper at the original $15 price.

So you can get the VC231 original card (with warning on the Hildebrandt logo) for $14.99 each -> https://ee.toys/GSYLT0



Or the new cardback with the relocated warning box for $16.99 each -> https://ee.toys/H60ZR2



The shipping dates are not even that different (June vs July of 2024).  If you're looking to bulk purchase Stormtroopers, free shipping starts at 6 of the $15 version at EE.

EE just canceled my order for these, they said the manufacturer has informed them they won't be producing them.

So I guess not...

Years ago I asked one of them about it T some convention and she said she love to have an action figure made of her.  The other one had already died I think. 

Could be fluff, but she was asked about it all the time and always said go for it.

The Star Whores thing is the only plausible explanation I’ve heard but also Hasbro wouldn’t ever talk about it, like it would have been so terrible for someone like Depriest or Evans to just say, we can’t touch that one with a ten foot pole because of some inappropriate backstory jokes from the 70’s.

That’s exactly what I had in my head when I was writing that.  They could do two packs of unmade cantina weirdos and sell them like crazy.

Just got an update saying May 30 now.  🤷‍♂️

Tonnika's would be a PERFECT Pulse exclusive...

They'd be available to purchase widely, but also not at any major retailers so any weird 50 year old notion that they're whores wouldn't be something Target would care about...
It would tie in with the Haslab...
They could re-use most of the sculpt so it's right in line with their efficiency goals...
They could charge a small fortune two figures and people would still gobble it up...

It's a no brainer, they just have to stop being babies about it.

That’s fair, but also tons of people just buy sets like that then re-sell the bits they don’t need and recoup a bunch of the costs.  The difference obviously is the price / value of the figures.

Which also means you can usually just buy the figures for whatever that inflated number is.

I keep wondering if Steve Evans came back and wasn’t thrilled with the design (and maybe the parallel tie-in offerings) in some way or other and is just overhauling the project more than switching it from Haslab to preorder.

Maybe they’ll lower the price by then.  :)

Oddly, I haven't been charged and mine hasn't shipped.

EDIT:  I just looked, it says arriving June 19.

Just got this one in the mail.  As made-up holiday themed astromechs go, this is one of my favorites.  Not sure why, I just think it looks retro and sharp.

I just came here to post the same basic thing.

If these things drop in price at all, I’m going to buy a bunch and sell the Ahsoka Clones.

The Tonnika Sisters thing is such a Star Wars collecting legend at this point that I don’t care how they get made if they actually get made.

The whole Haslab could be $399 for just them and I’d back it.

Available right now on the app.  I signed up for text alerts to get free shipping this time and will cancel those very soon.  I wonder how often they’ll let me do that.  :)

That sums up my thoughts too.  I'm not 100% convinced this is an actual image of an actual leak, but what do I know.
