None of my figures came mint but I open anyway so whatever. 

Tusken with updates elbows is nice enough, but not really that special if the previous figure didn’t bother you.  The weapons are abysmal though.  Insanely soft plastic, and wilt over time.  They’ll be swapped out with other figure’s accessories.  Really disappointing plastic choice.

The Luke figure is a really nice portrait of MH and the removable helmet isn’t a real issue since there are like a thousand Jedi Lukes out there.  The head would swap easily with the last DS Luke we got and most have an extra.  It would’ve been nice had they included an extra helmetless head but not really expected either.  If anything, given Ahsoka and Maul, it makes me long for ground up resculpts of Jedi figures haha.  The poncho is a nice update too, and the accessories are nice.  The blaster isn’t even necessary really, but I’ll take it. 

The Death Star droid is the odd surprise.  The added weathering detail goes a long way to make this figure unique to his BAD counterpart.  Very welcome update.  Makes it kind of like two different figures to me.  He’ll display much nicer with Jawas with the weathering.

I’m curious to see how they get to the rest of these rerelease-esque figures as we go forward.

Mine are shipping but no emails just shipped.  Didn’t notice any notes from my CC either.  They’re all shipping random too.  Tuskens haven’t shipped yet too which sucks.

Bbts I find to be slower since I think they get off EE but they push stuff back later on their site too.  Like the month it’s due they move the goal post.

Got my purge troopers.  Kinda neat...  two makes a nice team.  The scouts are more cool to me, for some reason, but these are neat too.  If only we had the guy the game is about. 🤷‍♂️

Got mine secured thankfully.  The pride droid I missed and so yeah, no waiting.

It didn't bother me that much since they don't use blasters in the game.  Like you, I have plenty of extra blasters to equip them.

I don’t have a ton of extra scout pistols so it does bother me some, plus it’s the epitome of cheap.  No real excuse here for them to have done that on something so minor.  Especially when the mold they used obviously came with the pistol so it was accessible.  This is the kinda stuff I can’t let the company slide on.  Just include the pistol.

My purges shipped also...  we’ll see how and when they arrive.  I’ve grown accustomed to not watching anything from EE ship since it’s so weird how it plays out.  Last stuff I got came pretty quickly though and it always does eventually get here, so I’m just patient with it.  Their shipping prices do suck comparatively speaking, but when it’s a big ticket thing from them with free shipping I can wait on that company they go through to get it to me eventually I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, kinda.  I don’t think there’s anything to it though, they just aren’t giving as many teases is all.  They’re kinda lazy on everything these days.

Sorry man, as we’ve all experienced here it’s hard but you have given the pet the best life they could’ve had, and you try to take some solace knowing they were loved and cared for.  It never makes it hurt any less it seems, but it’s a good thing to try to remember too.  I feel bad any time any of you guys post a loss of a pet because I know how much it hurts me when it happens.
