For those buying these (Rob), do you think one could make a squad of Stormtroopers that would look OK if they were not with regular 3.75 figs?

Yes thanks Rob. I canceled my Stormtrooper pre order and any thoughts of it being army building worthy.

The Retro TPM 6 Pack hasn't gone up for pre order yet has it?

I got "coming this week now" messages for both Krennic and Thrawn

The use of the word "consensus" for this poll everywhere is rubbing me the wrong way.

Just found an HK Assassin Droid at a small Target.  Didn’t expect that.

I can’t remember, we’re there more than one with this body and paint scheme in the show or is he a one-off?  Wondering if I’m keeping my preorders or
canceling them.

Woah, new show toys at retail within a month of the show ending? What is this black magic *******?

There are definitely multiples. All of the ones in the Nightsister Temple were unique. I'm not sure if that means they all unique though. I plan on keeping a few extras of the basic figure, and fully expect we will see this again in a troop builder pack w/ the alternate decos.
Tangentially related, my daughter loved the Young Jedi show and watched all of it when it came to D+.  She wanted toys but there were none.  Yesterday I was at Wally and I noticed an entire line of figures (and vehicles!!),  Would have been nice to have when she was more into it.

No real point at this point to my post, but this line was in stores in June. I bought the three main Jedi kids.

I've had times where that happens on an item like this. Supposed to ship then gets delayed. I'd expect a refund message in next couple days. Then they'll recharge when actually ship.

That's fair. I overstated 10 tidy packages. But I'd rather hope to see more Baylon (however they'd do that now) and what's up with the Mortis statues than have them end it somehow because Filoni doesn't know if he's gonna get to finish it.

I hated Dave's (JD member) take on Shin. I'll take her kinda less than amazing ending with the hope there's more of her than another boring Inquisitor.

I think what I'm trying to say is I didn't love the finale, but I'd rather they leave stuff open to continue even if the don't, over too many completed arcs because it may not get another run.

I can't believe how many good stories you missed Muftak by not finishing Clone Wars and Rebels. You can do better.

I'm not thrilled with the amount of loose threads this season ended with, but the idea that we needed 10 tidy neat packages is also obnoxious to me. I'm super curious to know what ending for Thrawn people wanted? Especially when they could continue this at some point in some way. I think anything definitive with Thrawn at this point wouldn't be fair to his character.

As I'm typing this I'm remembering that Muftak and I do not agree on how storytelling needs to work.

I'll give the show a 7.5 of 10. I'm happy with that. Hope we get more. If not I'll wonder what happened to some of these characters for sure. And I'll be arrogant with Filoni and assume Ahsoka and Thrawn will get more story eventually.

Anyone else pre order Baylon and Shin on Amazon? Despite them being listed as February releases my orders say "they'll email when they have a release date". Wondering if I was slow and will end up waiting longer.

I want to but space is so limited. I've decided to just do imperial helmets so I have the Stormtrooper and Biker Scout helmets.

I hope they don't show us. With two episodes left I'd rather just assume it makes sense.

I didn't take it as romantic love. More in relation to Ezra's speech at end of "Rebels" and what he says to Sabine.

I have heard some people upset that it's hard to follow the show because they didn't watch "Rebels". I'm trying not to watch it expecting it to fully follow "Rebels". In "Ahsoka" I know Sabine feels very strongly about Ezra. To the point she is risking a lot of people's lives. I don't necessarily need the details of why. Again, especially with 50% of the season left. Maybe those flashbacks are still to come for a reason. It's like Rotten Tomatoes certifying the show "fresh" or not because critics saw two episodes.
