I’m wondering if the Grand Inquisitor is going to follow in Reva’s footsteps… the two targets nearest me have each had 6 on the pegs for a few weeks.

Overall he looks great. Its a little hard to tell if that is a removable helmet or a swappable head. In those pics, the bucket looks to be about the right size and looks much better than the Axe Woves.

Echoing the 'Deluxe' vs. 'Basic' & concerns, nothing about this feels "Deluxe" though. At least the price has dropped to $24.99 but that still feels overpriced for what we are actually getting here. I do wonder if Jango originally had more accessories planned (second jetpack, poncho, pilot headgear, poison darts, etc.) that were cut to save on cost? As is, we are basically getting one newly tooled (maybe?) wrist flame effect & two repacked jetpack flame effects for an extra $8.00-$13.00. I'd much rather have just skipped the effects and taken him on basic card. I might have bought 2-3 Jangos to replace him in some displays, but not for that price. I guess I'll wait for the inevitable clearance on these guys to pick up any extras.

I agree - VC45 was a nice upgrade at the time but those skinny legs? Yuck.

Looks like we are getting a new helmet sculpt on this set already.

Looking closer at the pics, these might not be new helmets, but whole new non-removable helmet-heads?  I don't think Hasbro has shown any pics of them sans helmets.

Yup, I'm seeing that, too. These look like an improvement over the first version, the visor is much better as is the scale, but now it looks like something is off with the mouth area. I really wish they would have just got these right... Maybe third time is the charm? 

I might have gone overboard this weekend… Preorders for Wave 33 & the KOTOR two-pack hit, I also did some Black Friday shopping on Pulse and picked up some additional army builder packs, a discounted Boba’s Slave I, & a few other extras. Then went to a new local con in Denver, GalactiCon and they had more TVC in tbe dealers’ room than I had seen in decades at the local cons, and managed to grab a grail piece at a decent price. Here’s the haul from the con:

$13.24 on Amazon now if anyone waited for a sale.

Dang, must have missed it. I would have taken a second at that price.

Glad to finally cross a few off from last year! It was hard to cut it down to 20 again. I ended up cutting a new Scout Trooper off my list, the new head sculpt on the VOTC body is good enough for now. My list in no particular order:

1.    ANH -- Luke Skywalker -- Tatooine (brand-new, Photo-Real, at least 30 POA)
2.    ANH -- Han Solo -- (brand-new, Photo-Real, at least 30 POA)
3.    ANH -- Obi-Wan Kenobi -- (brand-new, Photo-Real, at least 30 POA)
4.    ANH -- Grand Moff Tarkin -- (brand-new, Photo-Real)
5.    ANH -- Garouf Lafoe - Cantina
6.    ANH -- Brea Tonnika
7.    ANH -- Senni Tonnika
8.    ANH -- Damono Deomaley
9.    ANH -- Tzizvvt
10.  ANH -- Imperial Sandtrooper | Tatooine Stormtrooper -- (Utilize the updated Stromtrooper w/ new accessories)
11.  ESB  -- Treva Horme
12.  ROTJ -- Endor Rebel Commando -- Full Jumpsuit Version
13.  ROTJ -- Mon Mothma
14.  ROTJ -- Fozec
15.  ROTJ -- Loje Nella - Jabba's Palace
16.  ROTJ -- Leia - Ewok Prisoner - The POT2 version is looking really dated

Seems like this wave is starting to hit Amazon now too - just got a note for Krennic from Amazon and an updated arrival date of 11/15.

And just got the "approve delay" for Krennic.  Guess he won't be here today after all. 

Mine still appear to be coming tomorrow from Amazon.

I also saw a few posts on Reddit stating that EE has shipped cases this week. Hopefully individuals of the rest of the wave aren't far behind.

I've really wanted to get one, but we don't have a great place for one right now and it wasn't in the budget for a while. I think I may take the plunge in 2024, and custom figures, vehicles, & dioramas are all definitely at the top of my list of potential projects.
