Those people will all probably get a toaster or box of pop tarts. I wish them luck...I swore long ago never to order anything from their website again.

I'm glad this was confirmed so dopes on some of these other Star Wars sites will stop insisting this is a 6" variant. Like they would come out with TWO $179.99 ships at the same time.  ::)

Disappointing thst they don't have any of the Second wave of BS 6" figures, nor the second wave of Armor Up guys, nor the Mission Series 2-packs. All of that stuff has been found in stores already. Just not many. I would have bought all that...

Wait... I addition to Wave 2 of the Build-a-Weapon Jungle/Space/Desert/Snow figures there's already a second wave of the Armor-up figures? And they have been found? Who's in wave 2?

Sorry, I may have misspoke. I don't collect the regular figures and its confusing because they all come with goofy pack ins now. I was referring to whichever line has Ezra in it in the next wave...maybe it is the basic figure line?

I heard they included his lightsaber for this release, so I really want that one. None of the Kohl's around here got them though.

Try Hasbrotoyshop.com.  When I checked this morning they had all the wave 1 6" and 3.75" stuff.  Army builders (Stormtrooper, Phasma, Flametrooper) were all there.  And no minimum for free shipping!

I found the exclusive Grave Digger Daryl figure at Walgreens this morning. I had heard he was making his way east, so I'm glad I made the effort to get out. Very nice figure!

I picked up Finn yesterday at WalMart.  And while this might not have been a sale price, I'm pretty sure WalMart is selling the 6" Black Series for $18.99 / figure.

$18.92 here and that is the standard price now, yeah. A most welcome surprise.

I got the Kanan and Scout Bomber deluxe set on FF, nothing else to be had for Rebels, sadly.

Global warming? Lol...

Pretty cool.  Based on the clip that was released on Instagram last week, I think it's a fair bet that the companion piece for this set will be ****POSSIBLE SPOILERS Finn with the blue Skywalker lightsaber ****

Except this one is identified as Starkiller Base Kylo and that clip scene occurs on a whole other forest planet moon whatever.  ;)

Allegedly.

Jesus, that was asinine...didn't even last til I could get off work and order one. I don't get this new business paradigm of underproducing for the consumer demand.

Yeah, i was in and out of Target this morning within 10 minutes of opening time. There were 2 other guys waiting there with me. It's a pretty narrow window of opportunity with these things right now.

Has anyone found the Mission Series figures?  My Target didn't have pegs for them (and didn't have the figures either)?

No, by all accounts they have not been released yet. I was at K-Mart today and they had shelf tags for these (DSN 2-pack $14.99) so hopefully they show up soon.

I tore into this wave late last night before falling into a stupor. There were some surprises to me. You think you know what it going to appeal to you but sometimes in hand your opinions change.

Finn is very well done, good sculpt, good paint apps, but ultimately it is a pretty boring figure. Next to Chewie he seemed to draw the least interest last night. I shudder to think about them carrying this guy forward into later waves. The Stormtrooper would be a much better choice.

Chewie is about as expected. Was more exciting the first time around.

Kylo Ren is nice, paint apps around the visor seem to vary, but mine is ok. Unfortunately he has a wonky right foot that seems stuck downward. I'm glad in restrospect I got a couple of these so I can swap him out for a better version. The soft goods work well on mine, but he's not one of the more interesting figures to me somehow.

The FO Stormtrooper is cool, I like the design and all, and the two guns, but the plastic on certain parts of the armor feels cheap and flimsy to me. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but if you hold him in hand next to a regular Stormtrooper you will see the difference.

The unexpected star of the wave for me was Rey and BB8 though. I felt like this would be a boring figure beforehand but mine is really beautiful, I mean they dead nailed the paint apps on the face. It's a great effort. I just wish they had included her headscarf. BB-8 came out very well too, at least IMO. Yeah they could have tweaked a few things with the paint wash and whatnot, but I like the final product. Sturdier than I expected.

All in all, a very solid first wave, the next one looks even better. Hope we get back to the non-TFA figs before too too long though.

Seriously? The dead Inquisitor we are never going to see again? Not either of the two new ones for the upcoming season?

Weak sauce, Hasbro.

I hit a nearby Target right at opening this morning and was able to pick up 2 more FO Stormtroopers and went ahead and got another Kylo to use the $10 off coupon. (Will return the one I got last night)

I did see Poe's X-Wing there, which was totally MIA last night, so that was cool. No sign of the TIE Fighter, big or little. Still no Mission Series.

I plan to hit K-Mart at lunch today because that's the only place I've even seen tags for the 2-packs. Worth a shot, every place else has been a bust so far.
