Over at Sandtrooper.com has post pictures of the new two three pack
due at the end of year!!!!! The first is Trade Federation the one are
Passel Argente, Shu Mua, and Rune!!!!!
The 3 new jedi council member are Yareal Poof(HECK YES!!!!), Bilba Deepa,
and Yaddle. Amazing job on this figures. Impressive!!! Most Impressive!!!!
-
Hasbro has fulfilled a long held dream by completeing the E1 Jedi Council. These are fantastic figures. It's a crime distribution sucks right now, because these are some of the best work Hasbro has ever done. I just hope these make it to the shelves. Me, I'm not going to wait. The second they go up for preorder at NewForce, they're mine.
-
I can't get on to that site. Post the link if you would...
-
They look awesome! You guys & gals have got to check them out!!! :o
-
Very nice looking indeed! Here's a link to Sandtroopers.com (http://www.Sandtroopers.com). You'll have to head over there to see these great shots for yourself, as we'll try our best to refrain from swiping their great pictures from them - at least for a little while... ;)
This second Jedi Council set consists of a seated Yarael Poof and Yaddle, with a standing Depa Billaba. Yarael's neck is a little on the short side, and it's a little disconcerting that it appears that Depa will not be able to ever sit down in a Jedi Council chair... Otherwise, most excellent!
The Second Separatist War Room set consists of Nute Gunray (yawn), Shu Mai, and Passel Argente.
Some great choices there - most of which we were begging for after the earlier pictures of the first half of these sets a couple months ago at the Hasbro Press Event! Well done Hasbro. Now just do us all a big favor, and get these things out and available to the masses at retail please! 8)
-
These 3-packs are prime examples of what Hasbro COULD be doing. They're maybe still not all "perfect" figures, but they're damn close to it.
Too bad this isn't the quality we get ALL the time.
I stll stay that Mace in the 1st set is one of the most awesome SW figures I've seen, and Jedi robes that are cloth, look good, and let the figure SIT!?!?!?!?!
wha wha wha!??
Yes, Hasbro can amaze when they wish to... Unfortunately, for every one of these sets, there's a clone 3-pack of unposeable figures. Eh, maybe a "great" white clone will float our way some day. :) Till then, I'm gonna call that 3-pack as I see it... Lil bag 'o white army men. At least I'm hearing it has some interesting articulation though, and it serves some kind of a purpose.
It's just not quite as great as it could've been, considering it could've been as great as these screen scenes appear to be turning out.
-
These sets look amazing! I can't wait to have a completed episode 1 jedi council. If this is how all the screen scenes look like, I can't wait. I'm most excited about Yarael Poof and Shu Mai. :)
-
Sweet. 8) There on my want list.
-
Awesome! We get the rest of the Jedi Council from EPISODE I! And EPISODE II Nute gunray, Shu Mai, and Passel Argente with the second war room set. This rocks!
-
Here are official pictures of these two new sets. These come from the official Japan Tomy Star Wars (http://www.tomy.co.jp/starwars/products/scene.htm) site.

Unbelievable, 5 of my 50 most wanted figures in one fell swoop! Great job H, keep it up
-
If Yarael Poof and Yaddle can stand and be posed with some lightsabers from the accessory packs, then this is hands down the most exciting release of the year for me. Yareal Poof looks awesome.
Shu Mai and Passel Argente look great too. If you read The Approaching Storm, you know we got a little more insight into Shu Mai, that book made me want this figure even more. She's like a ruthless little anorexic smurf, but cooler.
-
These sets look amazing, I really hope that the Screen Scenes line continues, because the quality from the pictures we have seen looks great. Always glad to have more Jedi, and to be able to complete the council. I was going to wait and see if I could find these things in the store, but with the way retail has been this year, I think I might have to preorder the first sets, as well as these when they come up. Good job Hasbro.
-
JediDefender now has our own images on our server for those interested, you can see them on the main page. These were from the Japanese Tomy Star Wars website. Enjoy!

Man do these figures look cool. 8)
Looks like I have to work some overtime to get the new stuff coming out!

-
I've always liked the three-packs. I sure hope I can find them!! ;)
-
Yep, these look spectacular. I remember for the past few years some of us at the rebelscum forums wanted the council to be made with chairs, and so many people claimed that they would be stupid with chairs. Funny, I don't see anyone anywhere complaining now. I just hope these aren't too hard to find.
I'm also extremely impressed with the Geonosian War Room.
:P
-
I'm especially happy that they went with the three Jedi they chose for the second Jedi Council scene. The speculation had been that we'd get a previously released council member and two new ones. Releasing three all-new Jedi Council members is a good move.
-
Well, there is one thing they could have done better. That Nute Gunray figure is the same body as the weak EI figure. I do not even want to speculate as to why they posed the arms and hands the way they did. And I'm not sure what we're supposed to do with them. :D
But damn, look at all these new figs we're getting in these three packs!
Poggle the Lesser!
Shu Mai!
San Hill!
Passel Argente
Oppo Rancissis!
Evan Piell
Deepa Billaba
YARAEL POOF!
Yaddle
:D
-
I can not wait to get all 4 of these scenes. Now the council figures won't have lightsabers correct?
-
These things are excellent. I like the multipack idea, now that I mostly open things. They seem to put a little more effort into packaging too if you want to keep them carded.
More Jedi makes me happy. ;D
-

Well, if you have the EPISODE I Naboo (1 green lightsaber) or Gungan accessory pack (one blue lightsaber), or the SAGA Arena Conflict accessory set (this one includes two lightsabers), you can start equipping the new Jedi with some of those lightsabers.

Very good point! I didn't even think about that, so those accessory sets are worth something after all then, huh? ;)
-
Yep. The only Jedi left lightsaber-less is Mace Windu, since there haven't been any purple lightsabers thrown in the accessory packs.
-
I really like the Jedi Council scene, and the three all new and much needed Jedi in that set! So we've got one third of the total Jedi Council as far as floor space and chairs goes. Anyone really think we're going to eventually be getting four more of these sets? I thought we might before, but that was assuming there were some rehashes thrown into each set. I might just have to buy several extras to make the complete Council.
I will be upset if Depa is unable to sit though. That kind of defeats the purpose of the whole scene, even if she's not seated in the pack. She sure as heck wasn't standing up in any of the movies from what I can recall. I also really hope Hasbro throws us a bone and includes the lightsabers for these guys. It'd be a shame if they didn't, and it would probably cost them all of a dime to do so.
It's cool that we'll be able to complete the Geonosis War Room table now, and I'm glad we got a couple more new figures in that set as well, but that said, they don't really excite me too much. Glad they're being made, but just kind of dumb characters (by George) to begin with. Oh well!
Now I wish we'd just get a few Screen Scenes from the Original Trilogy now dammit! Where's the rest of my cantina and Jabba's Palace aliens Hasbro?!

Yeah that's a good idea. I just wish Hasbro would have added them. I know they did not use them in the council scenes but c'mon their Jedi!!!! :)
-
I think Hasbro's chain of thought was "well, we never see the Jedi with their lightsabers in the Council Chamber. They might look kind of dopey sitting down with lightsabers ignited". Or at least something to that effect.
-
I don't mind it either way to be honest. I am getting them no matter what. I still think each Jedi should have his/her own lightsaber. We can always take it out of their hand to sit on the counci and discuss Jedi business. Oh well, it's not a big deal anyway.
-
The lightsabers don't bother me too much, either. I have so many extras lying around that if I wanted to give them one, it'd be no problem.

Precisely. I'm just happy that they're doing these things, and the figures look pretty decent. I hope availability on these are good, and that the screen scenes will continue for some time. I've been deabating how many of these I'm gonna buy, and if I'm going to try making the entire council chamber.
-
I sure hope I can find these in stores. :::fingers crossed:::

How's this for a nice loose shot, again from eBayer mimidog4428 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3137404894)...
(http://ebay2.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_3c15a3955aea40755f804bfc2928de95/i-1.JPG)
-
Yes, it looks nice. I think San Hill looks better in this picture for some reason? Not that I care I would buy it regardless.
-
That set is cool...almost too cool...
-
Doesn't Poggle look a little too green? The one in the shot from Hasbro's press event was perfect, IMO. The right amount of brown and green blend. This one disappoints me.

Excellent. The table is complete.
Now, I think I'll get all over exhuberant and expect the rest of the chairs for the Jedi council and the rest of the Cantina bar as well. Hey, I can dream, right?
-
holy S, these are some of the best sets that i have seen too date.
-
Tom from Cloud City has a Geonosian War Chamber on auction right now. He has the set in the package so check it out.
Geonosian War Chamber (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3139381764&category=2476)
Looks really nice. 8)

This seller has the Clone Wars Jedi High Council 3 Pack, Mace Windu, Oppo Rancisis & Even Piell & Geonosian War Chamber Room 3 Pack, Count Dooku, Poggle the Lesser & San Hill on auction from Hong Kong.
AOTC Windu Dooku Cinema 3 PACK (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3139486131&category=2476)
Very pricey from there. :o

An RS forum member in the Far East opened one of these sets up (Jedi Council set w/ Mace, Oppo, and Piell) and has given a nice little review of it here. (http://www.rebelscum.com/article.asp?i=43997)
Removable chairs, no lightsabers, some good and bad articulation, non-removable hologram, slot for a cardboard backdrop (which didn't sound like it was included), and a pair of hidden arms on Oppo... 8)
I saw the two connected Jedi Council sets (loose) at the Comic Con this weekend, and must say that they look very cool when put together with all 6 Jedi present. Hasbro better keep these sets up, and give us some more so we can complete the full council! Of course, since a couple of the figures aren't articulated to be able to sit down in a chair, that presents a slight problem to us non-customizing folks... :-\
One thing that didn't look good, which I'm hoping was just because it was only a mock up sample for the show, was Mace's knee(s). The color of his knee joint (which is only visible when he is sitting), was brown - whereas the rest of his legs were white. Looked pretty bad (think Greedo's off-colored knee pins), but like I said, hopefully it wasn't the finished product. Can't really tell from the RS pix if this problem is still present though...
-
Found the Jedi Council Set Today! It was the lone one at Target, keep those eyes peeled cause they are out!
-
That's awesome news Scott! I hit one of the local Targets here in Chicago, but didn't find that set. They did have some Gold Card figures and the new Clone Wars gunships though.
-
One Target in Indy has reset for Christmas and has a tag on the shelf for these sets. I will be checking a few times a week. So far they have only put out Blue Jedi Star Fighter, Tank, Gun Ships, and Series #13 of figs.

The same thing is happening around here. The price tags have shown up, but no screen scenes. I'll be keeping my eye out.
-
Whew, found the Geonosian War Room at another Target. The hunt is over, but just beginning for the rest of you!
Both Targets I went to had been "reset" meaning the newest lines were put out and the stock had been rotated
-
I got mine a week or so ago. It was a new Target that opened up near me.
-
I can not wait to find these, they look so awesome...
:P
-
The Jedi set looks like some damn fine custom fodder. :)
Can't wait to start filling out the Jedi ranks...
Ball/Sockets rock, I wish Hasbro made these more a standard on figures (knees, elbows, and neck). You'd have an immense ammount of poseability then.
-
I picked up the first set of the new Screen Scenes today at Target here in Indy. I also picked up a red battle droid.

Man I wish my Target would hurry up and get reset already.

I couldn't agree with you more!

Put a softgoods cloak on the Mace from the Council Scene...NICE! It's a little snug in the sleeves, but he can sit okay in it.
Also, I bought a slew of Episode I Yoda's when they were on clearance. Mainly for the chairs. I took off Even Piell's outer cloak, and the Yoda chair is perfect for him.
Oppo Rancisis is the toughest to get a cool pose going. His tail isn't quite as flexible as I would've thought. But, if you can pose it properly, it looks best wrapped around the base of the chair. I only wish they'd made his head and torso a little bigger. He seems a little too small there.
Next, the holo-projector in the Jedi Council...you can't tell who it is. It's just a robed figure. In fact, it's almost like a mini-mini version of the holographic Darth Sidious that came with Lott Dod and Count Dooku.

I found both sets today at Target, & I thought the exact same thing: the holo-fig is miniature! It's like 1/5 the size of holo-Sidious. At any rate, I passed on the Jedi Council screen scene. Of course, I didn't think twice about picking up the Geonosian War Chamber SS. ;D I'm still a bit disappointed with San Hill (particularly with his face), but the screen scene is cool nonetheless. Now bring on the second wave so that I can complete my Geo War table. :)
-
Yay! My Target finally got reset and I got my screen scenes. Now that Im completely broke I'll have to wait on get an extra set of them.
-
Time to go shopping! ;D
-
No luck on my toy run today ::)
-
They've shown up around here, but I have yet to find them.
-
Man, some of you guys are lucky to find them. Well done.
Wish they were up here though. :-\
-
Canuks and Southerners-What do they have in common?Both inhabit North America,both get the shaft from hasbro.
-
GO! GO! GO!
It's my birthday... It's my birthday...
Got the Screen Scenes just a little while ago...
Who's ya daddy now? Huh?
OK... well I might be a little carried away but...
No more taunting me Scott :P
-
dangnabbit :-*
I really like 5 of the 6 figures...best Mace since Episode 1, Oppo and Evan are also very cool
San Hill is a tad bit off but I can't put my finger on exactly why, still a great figure along with Poggle who was at the top of my me wantee list forever. Awesome job on all 5...
Dooku sucks the big one, can't stand, arms fall off, he absolutely sucks!
-
My Dooku is a gimp too. Kind of a shame, guess I will have to use a stand for him, because I really like how he looks holding the Death Star holo.
:P
-
Scott, how come you're the only person that has figures where their arms fall off? You have that Darth Maul that does that and now Count Dooku. I own a TON of figures, and I have never had a problem with any of their arms falling off. Even the ones that have cut arms (Zam Wesell, Luke Skywalker), or with the cut off heads (Jango Fett, Tusken Raider). I think you're just too rough on them. ;)
-
Yeah not sure...my Sam #2 from TTT also has arms that fall off :-* Maybe I'm too rough with my dolls ;)
-
San Hill is a tad bit off but I can't put my finger on exactly why, still a great figure along with Poggle who was at the top of my me wantee list forever.
It's the likeness. Hasbro did a poor job with San Hill's face. Oh well...
And yeah, Dooku is pretty lame, especially with that huge hand of his. I still like the set, but I have a feeling that I'm going to like the second Geonosian War Chamber set a lot more.
-
Man, I hope I can find these at retail!
-
Good luck figureaddict; just keep hitting those Target stores, that's where they are being found right now; especially since Target dedicated half of a shelf space for them!
:P

All too sweet!
-
Aww man, Pittsburgh is like months behind on stuff. I've yet to find Wave 1 (And these are sets I REALLY want). Wave 2's on its way. This is killing me, haha. :) I hate being behind like this...
Hopefully soon though. I do think these are some of the nicer figures and sets that Hasbro's done in a long time. The Mace's hand poses are strange, but he's still a rockin' Jedi, and good custom fodder for us customizers.
The Wave 2 sets are even better though if you ask me.
-
Wow, congrats on your find. I haven't even seen the first ones yet. I didn't even know the second wave was out yet. Where'd you find these?
-
I'm glad these are coming so soon but I don't even have the first ones yet! I have them on order from Newforce, but nothing so far. I'm really looking forward to both of these. Great stuff.
-
wave two already, i just found the 1st wave last week.oh well that's still cool.
-
Does anyone know when these will be available (release date)? They look great. I can't wait to complete my Geo War Table with the second set. :) I'll probably pass on the Jedi Council set (again).
-
They usually run 1 or 2 weeks behind when these guys start selling them. So I'd say early September ;)
-
Looks good. I have yet to find wave I, but I'm not really searching that hard for them. I'm sure they'll be around in droves soon enough.
-
I just found Wave 1 this afternoon at Target in Scranton, Jesse. Keep looking!
-
Damn, I gotta get out there and look! Thanks for the heads up...
Must make my way to a Target tomorrow I believe...
-
I have all of Wave I, and think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I really can't wait for Wave II (and beyond!!!)
:P
-
Reading the forums and hearing from everyone how cool these are makes me want them even more... I have to go and seek them out. :o
