I feel like a dinosaur.  The only OT thing on there is Obi-Wan Kenobi, which we have a dozen different versions of.

Ultimately, I'd like them to make almost all of the 64 figures in the entire bracket... Hasbro is really missing out with their limited selection.

Yup, 1000%

Got Finn and Cassian today.

Hooray.

By my count, this Finn is the first sequel trilogy figure since I moved into my house, which is just under three years ago.

Hasbro really hates those movies.


Edit… also just got shipping notices from Amazon and Pulse on the Clone and Dooku.

How's the Finn head? I didn't order him but I might if he's a decent enough improvement.

Super rough though...there's so few actual scenes you can even set up with the ST stuff. I actually took them out of my display shelves until they eventually make some connective tissue there, scene-wise. Poe's orange x-wing is such an awesome ship too, so it's a shame.

Jayson's comment on IG was "Cheers" as a hint, so the money seems to be on the Cantina. I'm super happy with my cantina diorama, but if this has a few figures that won't be available anywhere else (two in particular), I'll still back this and use it as a playset for my son and I to pose figures in. I really hope the Hasbro team is looking at all the negativity between old and new collectors and plays up the cross-media potential for this set. Tonnika sisters and Hammerhead would be awesome for us OT collectors, but Pelli Motto and EV-9D9 could appeal to new media fans (though EV has cross potential for sure). A new Wuher? **** yeah I'd want that. At the least they should be pulling together some glamour shots showing Mando in the thing to reduce the agita from the new media crowd.

There's so much ugliness going on for these polls (and the Last Figure Standing as well) between the OT and New Media crowds. Honestly I think the whole thing is kind of trash, and I suspect there's some questionable voting at this point. Ordinarily I wouldn't feel that way (and I'm just as happy with new media stuff as I am with OT), but the comment sections are a dumpster fire and it really seems like a "versus" thing rather than a genuine fan poll. It's too bad because I really feel like the SWTVC group puts a ton of effort and dedication into this.

Yeah, this vehicle is sexy as ****. This is why I love when Filoniverse uses things from the EU, because we have a shot at getting them in the line. Really hoping we get a Headhunter at some point too.

I ordered a pair of these things. I hope Hasbro leans into this selling model, so maybe we can get some ships again. **** the clearance vultures.

I also preordered two of them, and yeah, the price sucks pretty hard, but that Sabine is magnifique.

It would have been a lot less offensive if they just had him as a Season 2 Axe Woves, which is what he is. I'd be fine with buying him, since I want to display one with the helmet on. I already have him hanging out without the helmet. Hell, I'd even buy a legitimate Season 3 Axe if he had the correct armor. I think the character is decent.

I'm hoping they mark down the Mandalorian one soon, as I'd like a few more of those. At this point I've lost count on how many ROTJ speeders I have. And hell, it's going to be hard to not order a couple more now.

Edit: **** it, bought another one.

That Captain Rex is pretty ******* awesome. The Pilot Luke is great too, but I obviously already have him. Still, I'm glad they're re-releasing figures to bring in new fans.

I wish for that price they could have included a second swappable helmet for the previous Sabine.

I hope Emily wasn't let go...she's like the one person who seems to "get" TVC over there.

I saw her respond to the news on IG. She congratulated Steve and said that she was looking forward to working with him.  So I think that’s a positive sign.

That is definitely good news there.

Awesome!

Oh good call! I had an extra R5-D4 that I grabbed during a random Tunghori order, so I used that.
