If I remember right (and I'm paraphrasing), Steve Evans said we "should consider this the only time the Sisters will be available."

The way he worded it was definitely suggesting that they wouldn't appear elsewhere, but he did leave the door cracked a little bit.

I'm happy Steve is back on Star Wars, but his wording when answering the question was not a definite no and when he was asked, the Campaign was still going (and not fully backed at that point.)

Hasbro used much stronger language about the soft goods Mando only being available with the Razor Crest than Steve's answer.

Also, we're actually getting (what I assume is) the Jabba from the Sail Barge later this year!  Nearly every Haslab Figure has shown up in the main line in some form.

I like everything offered.  This is going to hurt my wallet.

So I recently got Ezra Kanan and Zeb  to finish off the Ghost crew and it got me thinking.  Every Haslab figure has made it to the main line in some form or another.

Khetanna: Yak Face was released on a Return of the Jedi card without a coin.

Razor Crest:  All the carded figures made it to the main line (Jawa with less accessories, Grogu with a pram that was not vac-metalized.)  They said the only way to get a Mando with a soft-goods cape was with the Razor Crest but he's been released three times already with one on a single card!

Ghost: All members of the crew have been released in the main line in some form.  Ahsoka or Rebels card.

I feel the same thing is going to happen with the Cantina figures.  Greedo is a definite because he is needed to finish the 96.  Wuher and the Tonnika Sisters would be a little tougher, but then I saw the Mando-multipack today!  That could totally be the way they bring them to the main line!  They could also do that with Nabrun Leeds and other, older cantina aliens as a way to re-release them into the line!

I put these thoughts into a video on my YT channel.  Premiers tomorrow at 2 pm EDT Check it out if you're interested.

Well that was easy enough!  Thanks Jeff!

At least the one coming with the Blurg is his armor from episodes 1 & 2.

Why must they add an army builder figure in a playset.  She even bragged that they specifically do that!

I have been playing with the idea of building a nice-looking pegboard or carded display shelf of sorts to allow me to easily rotate what I have up on the wall and store 3x4 as many figures in the same amount of wall space.

Something like this might work.

Didn't hate it, but didn't love it.  Interesting cameos and I thought the final episode was done well.  It played out mostly how I predicted.

There are a few questions I want answered, so if there was a season two, I'd watch.

Black Series is always going to have trouble with vehicles.  Anything bigger than a speeder bike is going to take up way too much space.  The FO TIE Fighter they did ended up being on clearance because it was huge.  I don't know how successful the Snow Speeder was, but if it did make them money, they'd do more...look at how much love they get with figures!

Last night's episode was arguably the weakest episode of the season.  Admittedly, Torbin was messed up by the witches and it lead to the events that ultimately killed off the coven (except Koril...she's still out there), but was it bad enough to send Kelnacca into self-imposed exile, Torbin to retreat into the Force and Sol to have such guilty feelings?  If the answer is yes, the director and writers did not effectively show that.

As for the witches exploiting a vergence in the Force to create Osha and Mae and actually spitting one personality into two people....I feel that required a little more time to flesh out.

One more episode and it should be a banger to wrap up everything.

Very possible Nick.  We still haven't seen this one dude who has been cast.

Thanks for doing the Math on this Jeff.  I was just looking at thos numbers and Hasbro pulled in somewhere between $5.9 Million and $7.4 Million.

As far as a big Item I'd like to see, I'm still holding out hope for a Rogue One Imperial Cargo Shuttle.  Might be the only way we get the rest of the Rogue One squad.

We're getting all of these figures in TVC's main line.  They'll just be slightly different, either on a different card or slight change in accessories.  Hell, Greedo is needed to complete the 96 on his own!

Bottom line:  Hasbro is going to find a way to give everyone who purchased this set figures to open.

I wanted the wolf man more than the other unlocks… do we still think it’s likely he makes it into the main line somehow?

I have a feeling we'll see each of these figures pipelined on different card backs in the mainline fairly soon.

Can we get another 3,000 in the last 18?!   :)

Not looking likely.
