The Vintage Collection / Re: 2025 TVC Troop Builder Battle Droid 4-Pack

I went with four sets. It will be interesting to see how much sturdier the plastic/legs are on this version, the other ones were so gummy.

I pre-ordered one for now. If there is enough improvement in the legs, I'll probably get at least one more. It'll be "wait for a sale" to get any more after that.

Do the Premium members need to feel like they're getting some value for their membership other than free shipping?

Apparently, yes? I am guessing it is easier for Hasbro to just have the 1-hour delay on as a default than program around it for some things and not others.

Most TVC things don't pre-sell out anymore but I've seen lots of the "partner exclusives" (where Pulse has a small allotment of Walmart/Target exclusives for GI Joe or TFers) sell out pretty quick and you are generally SOL getting them on Pulse if you don't have the Premium.

Well better late than never. This thing got here yesterday.

During today's livestream, when Chris said "everyone should have received their Ghost by now or I don't know what happened", I immediately thought of you, Rob.

You may have been the last person to get theirs, but I'm glad it made it to you safely (finally).

I find it hilarious they are going to shamelessly double dip on Baylan & Shin by releasing them first again without their cloaks, just like in the Black Series.

Yeah, you have to wonder it that is going to be the case here too. Super annoying if so...

Overall, the figures look good I thought. Not sure I need an Ahsoka-flavored repaint of the Mauldalorian Trooper sculpt but with the slightly different paint deco and different rifle included, I'll probably pick one up.

I am happy to see that 501st sculpt get his own carded release. Glad I can skip getting more of the 4-pack and having a bunch of unneeded white Phase 2 Clones just to get more 501st.

And happy to see the B1 droid sculpt get an upgrade to the legs. Feels like I'm constantly adjusting those old VC78 droid trying to get them to stay standing on the shelves.

Jealous. I still have 2 slots to fill but I never seem to have the cash to toss at them when the auctions come along. Ah well, eventually.

My guess is 1-2 more figures from the Yord/Obi-Wan wave (I think there are 4 in that wave yet to be revealed).

Not sure if the reveals will be from the pipeline list (Baylan, Shin, Obi-Wan, Han, Chewbacca, Ahsoka Mauldalorian) or something new.

Maybe they will give us a look at the pipeline DLX Hammerhead/Momaw.

I really enjoyed the show as well. Certainly not the greatest TV show ever made, but still a very fun watch over the past few weeks.

Maybe Wim grows up to be one of the ST era X-Wing pilots in the X-Wing Rogue Squadron movie.
