I get that the cards are important for some collectors, but I feel like we're all carrying the water for them here. Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited for this set.

Totally agree on the idea that the "perfect project that everyone wants" doesn't exist. I keep seeing the Cantina and Death Star thrown around, but the playsets are never as good as what fans are already making. For example, the Jabba's Palace (Bib's, Boba's, whatever) is a cool piece, but I have no intention of keeping it, other than the figure, props and throne (so if anyone wants the walls for cheap, let me know). Ditto with the Cantina. I would definitely buy it for the Tonnika Sisters if they were included, but would sell it off since I don't think I'd like it as much as the one I built. It certainly wouldn't have lights.

A Death Star playset always seemed ridiculous to me. It would always look like a big toy, and would never really capture the scale of the thing. I was born in '76, so I'm not a young fan rolling his eyes about the OT by any means.

Ed, one thing I have to ask is why you're choosing to wait until the tiers are unlocked before you back. If everyone does that, then the tiers don't get unlocked. It makes no sense and it's counterintuitive. Obviously it's your choice, but I'm just trying to follow the logic there.

Hasbro can't be happy about them being marked down so much.

I wouldn't think so.  I know there were some on forums (not here) complaining about price and waiting for discount prices.  I'm sure those same people complain when Hasbro isn't making x vehicle because it would be too expensive and stores don't want to buy them and lose money on them.

Thanks! I grabbed Hera, Morgan and 2 HK droids.

Ugh...I just bought another one. Thanks!  ;D

I'm pretty excited about the reveals overall. I know it's kind of a bummer that Jango is deluxe, but I'm hoping he comes with the pilot head, regular head, helmet head and both jetpacks. I'd like to one-and-done Jango, and the existing figure we have for him is really showing its age.

Very happy to hear about Leia...so important that we're getting her, and that they acknowledged the MakeTheMains campaign. Let's hope ANH Han and Luke aren't far behind.

I'm so pleased with the DS2 Vader, and the ANH Vader we have is pretty crappy, so with this new ANH Vader I think we can pretty much say we have all the Vaders accounted for. The battle damaged Kenobi Vader will be a good addition, even though he's scene specific...not sure there are any others aside from this except for Anakin-Vader from the duel on Mustafar, but that can be double-dipped with a new ROTS Anakin.

Those look great, and I'm all-in for a troop builder pack of the HK droids.

I really like the way that figure looks. Can't wait for more of the official solicitation pics!

TV-9D9 / Re: Ahsoka (SPOILERS possible)
« on: August 28, 2023, 04:00 PM »
Evidently there are a number of theories circulating about Marrok.  Ahsoka faced off against him on Correllia, and he appears to be an agent of Baylan Skoll.  I'm curious what people think about this character - Is it a character that we've seen before?  Is it a previously known or unknown inquisitor?  Or is this just an entirely new character?

Not sure if this would make any sense, but I was wondering if it might be Cal Kestis. We've seen BD-1 in the Mandalorian, and the latest Jedi Survivor game definitely introduces a bit of darkness to Cal towards the end.

I feel like the hourly rate has jumped up a bit over the past week or so, but maybe I'm just paying more attention.

I just received my first set too, and they're the correct versions with the black helmets. It may be my imagination, but it also seems like the helmets are slightly smaller than the white Andor clones. At any rate, I really wish they'd release an option without the commander, because I would probably buy a few more sets from time to time. We severely need an update to Cody though...he looks ridiculous with these new, superior clone sculpts.

I hate the fact that I'm wishing Hasbro would put a bunch of clone 4-pack options on Pulse...501st, Star Corps, 212th (without the commander), and the white clones.

The new clone body is also making me wish we could have an update to the Galactic Marines (and a redo of Captain Bacara), since the ones we have are absolute garbage. ****...it's 2023 and I'm suddenly interested in clones again.

When this thing arrives my wife is going to roll her eyes at me so bad they're going to get stuck facing her brain.

This is exactly what my experience will be.

There is a blink and you'll miss it shot of the Ghost in the hangar of Home One.  I'm guessing we'll see her next week.

Looks like the numbers for the Ghost are still rising.  I'm confident Zeb will be unlocked, but that will be the final tier.

To be honest, I'm really just happy with the Ghost and Hera. Don't get me wrong, I want them all, but this is one of those situations where I'm really excited about the actual base offering.
