I've started ignoring the useless Hasbro Pulse emails and am now occasionally checking the estimated ship dates on the Pulse Orders themselves.

My pre-order has been updated to "This pre-order item will be available to ship on approximately May 20, 2025".

Yeah, if they design it right, with a minimal amount of new tooling they could offer up the Ferrix Riot Troopers, the Ghorman Imperial Army Grunts; the Coruscant ISB Tactical Agents, even Imperial Mudtroopers (from Solo, from the Luthen flashback, etc) and maybe more.

Maybe they can even re-use some of the parts from the VC231 Stormtrooper, VC251 Mando/Miggs (Morak), VC267 Cassian (Aldhani) figures to get started.

I talked with a friend last night who is now obsessed with the idea that Kleya lived, thrived with the rebellion and kept working intelligence for them.

He thinks we need to re-do Rogue One/Andor with a movie called "Bothans" as the ROTJ DS2 plans prequel and then do a "Kleya" D+ Series as a prequel to that - how Kleya figures out they are building another death star, how the Bothans get involved to steal the plans in "Bothans" movie, how the ISB feeds the Bothans false info as revenge for Andor/Axis (IT'S A TRAP!).

At first I thought he was crazy, but the more I think about it - yeah, I'd watch that.

I'm good with the current U-Wing and Imperial Shuttle, but this show gives them a reason to re-release or redo.

I wouldn't mind one of those ISB shuttles.

I'm guessing the tariff situation has put a lot of Hasbro's 2025 HasLab plans on hold, but man the time was sure right this month to launch a HasLab Fondor Haulcraft, HasLab U-Wing, HasLab ISB Imperial Shuttle, or Pulse exclusive TIE Avenger.

Really bummed that Season 2 of this awesome show has come and gone and all we got was a K-2SO repack and Dedra Meero to bring our grand total of Andor figures to what, seven (if you count Disney's B2EMO)?

Six Hasbro 3.75" figures from Andor - and it's hard for me to even count the K-2SO repack and the Clone Trooper from the S1 Ferrix flashback scenes (which only got made because they knew they could re-use that sculpt for AOTC/TCW/ROTS stuff).

Two Cassians, Vel, and Dedra.  With maybe two more Andor figures in Jayson's rumor lists.  *sigh*

do we know what organization Luthen was with when he was in the military when he picked up Kleya?

The official site says "Mudtrooper uniforms, last seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story, were remade from scratch by Michael Wilkinson’s costume department for Andor Season 2’s flashback sequence."

I guess that means he was an Imperial Army mudtrooper sgt.

I thought both were really formulaic.   Asajj adopts a sidekick was fine but nothing special. 

On the Cad Bane story, it was a recycled plot but I think it was a pretty good arc.  It felt a little bit rushed since it was crammed into three short episodes.  Would have liked a bit more about the little boy but that feels like a thread that will just dangle.

Gilroy sees the sister being more valuable as a "deficit" in Cassian's life. Voids in Andor's life drives him and Gilroy didn't want to fill that hole.

I kinda like that.  Cassian couldn't save his sister, but he could save others - Bix.  Mothma.  Kleya.  Jyn.  His drive to keep those close to him safe.

Also agree that Kino showing up on Yavin or something after the whole "I can't swim" thing would have been very lame.

Those amazon prices feel like trial balloons.

Yeah, hard to tell what they are doing - Amazon seems to be a mixed bag with some still at $16.99, some at $22.99, and some "temporarily unavailable".

I guess it could just be normal algorithm based weirdness too based on sales/pre-order patterns?

What continued to amaze me about this show was amplified last night.  I was sitting on the edge of my couch, so worried about K2SO, Andor, and Melshi even though I knew that nothing was going to happen to them on Coruscant.  Crazy how much this show made me care.

I was not asking for a Kleya back-story, but getting that and seeing her relationship with Luthen just made her actions all the more tragic. 

Everything about these last 6 episodes was just amazing.  A+

Does the color scheme have some Disney significance that I’m missing?

Much like the DL 60th and WDW 50th figures they did, it's just a made-up color scheme that kinda sorta ties into the colors on the event logo - the blue, purple, yellow are supposed to match up to the sparkle colors...

I bet they repost at a higher price point.

Hard to say if this is tariff related (this is a Vietnam item, not China) or if it's some other kind of issue.  Could be an unavoidable delay on Hasbro's side of things (this item was supposed to be here for Target's 4/27 May the 4th endcap set-up).  Maybe the delay was too long for Target to hold the existing pre-orders? 

I guess we wait and see if it eventually comes back to Target or maybe it ends up at Pulse instead (or maybe even Ollie's).
