TV-9D9 / Re: Ahsoka (SPOILERS possible)
« on: August 22, 2023, 11:44 PM »
My daughter and I watched the first two episodes too.  Very solid beginning. 

The writing and story all held together very well.  Hopefully it stays that way.

Not sure why The Mandalorian season 3 and BoBF have been so all over the place, but this seems coherent so far.

I still need to go back and rewatch some more of Rebels and refresh my memory.  I watched a couple of the episodes with Ahsoka, but need to watch more.

Nicklab, the theory makes sense, but how does it jibe with the stories of Target stores not even receiving full cases of some of the products at times? I understand stuff like the nonassortment packed Boba Fetts and Indiana Jones figures arriving in stores and being shipped out to fulfill online orders, but when the regular TVC and Retro figures show up in batches of 3s from the repack box it doesn't add up.

Especially considering their has to be a warehouse/DC somewhere putting together those repack boxes to ship out to the Target stores.

I think they're separate issues. 

As you mention the Target exclusive stuff is pre-orderable and is often fulfilled from a localish store.  I'm not sure what their algorithm is for balancing pre-orders with store density with geographies.  I know I've gotten pre-orders shipped both directly from stores and from distribution centers.  You would think their logic for making this happen is well within their control.

I think the case assortment and partial case shipping stuff is still totally baffling.  That has been a mess for years and I don't get any of it.

TIER 1 UNLOCKED!  The campaign hit 11,000 backers just a few minutes ago, so Ezra Bridger is coming home with the Ghost!

Let the snowballing begin!

That makes sense if they can get a big financial write-off by yanking it.

Hopefully they're allowed to add it back at some point after all the financial monkey business is done.  Willow really isn't all that good, but they should still keep it in the catalog.

Jayson was doing a push on Yakface to tell people that were on the fence to go ahead and back it, and if they change their mind to cancel it later.  The momentum will start building more that way.

Thanks Jeff.  I totally forgot that his stapler-gun blue lightsaber got destroyed. 

I probably have to re-watch the last season and refresh my memory on a lot of this leading in to Ahsoka.

I took a few minutes to look at the new figures in the unlocks and noticed something unexpected with Ezra. 

I'm not an expert on every Ezra figure ever released and every episode of Rebels, but it looks like the Ezra figure includes a DL-44 Han Solo style blaster as well as a "regular" lightsaber.  I don't think any figure of his has ever had those accessories and I don't recall him ever using that type of blaster (or really any blaster other than a stolen imperial rifle) or lightsaber other than his own funky customer blaster/lightsaber combo.  Unlit I think it looks like a manual staple gun.

The figure is on a Rebels card, but I don't think these accessories are right for his Rebels adventures.  Maybe he shows up in the Ahsoka show using these items, but it seems off for Rebels.

The other figures shown - Hera, Kanan, and Zeb all seem to be accurate to their Rebels characters though.

I just figure the more unique figures in the set, the more carded collectors FOMO will pick up.

Agreed.  There might be a bit of a snowball effect if we can start picking up some more backers and more carded figures.  Those carded guys have helped fund my collection by selling off unique cards of mostly repacked figures (Yakface).

The unlocks are all gravy to me.  I'm just glad it funded.

I think they'll make all these figures for retail anyhow, just maybe not on the funky card backs and maybe with different accessories.

New Ahsoka and Mando Season 3 poster.  I like the Ahsoka one.  The Mando one isn't so good.

Mine showed up today.  I was hoping he might have some glow in the dark elements, but no dice.

On a related note its interesting to see that Hasbro Pulse ships their goodies padded with an eco-friendly geometric paper insert.  Kinda like bubble wrap.  Pretty cool, and a lot more ecological than the air bubble padding.
