Not sure where to put this one...

It appears Target has gone full on Amazon with its fulfillment in some ways.

I ordered stuff from Target.com the other day and it was just delivered by a random dude in an SUV.  It looks to have gone from a distribution center in Indianapolis to my place in the Minneapolis area, and appears to have never left the Target ecosystem.  There are no USPS, UPS, FedEx or other labels - it appears to be a Target only internal label and tracking ID.

I'm not sure what that means for us collectors, but maybe that efficiency and control of their own delivery ecosystem will mean better delivery, more availability, and lower cost of things like the Rogue One X-Wing.

Maybe this has been going on for awhile, but I believe this is the first time that I've received something from Target that didn't go through a third party delivery system.

This just showed up on my doorstep today.  Amazon just slapped a sticker on the outside of a Hasbro box that perfectly fits the 6" black figure box.

Mine was in great condition, but Amazon stuff usually comes without much damage (if it's delivered by Amazon).

What makes the Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper different than a normal Sandtrooper?  Looks to be the same figure, but he is packaged with a backpack and baton?  Is that it?

Thanks for posting Jeff.

Did they state when these would be available for pre-order, or were these just "pipeline reveals" for some future pre-order yet to be announced?

Pulse is only $7 shipping.  Much more reasonable, although we'll probably have to wait longer for fulfillment.

Orders for the General Lando wave finally seem to be processing through Target.  But it looks like these might be coming one figure at a time. 

It looks like the same thing is happening with the Rogue One repaints. K-2SO is on the way, but nothing else.  It also looks like the Artillery Trooper is shipping now.

I'm getting most of them next week, but one is delayed until the following week.  Good to see these are finally hitting.

** Update ** - all of mine have now shipped.  Looking forward to getting these.

Glad to hear that these are going to be available via ShopDisney and aren't exclusive to the parks.

Lots of repaints mixed in here, so I'll have to see the price point of each set before I pull the trigger.  My guess is that these will be expensive, so I'm likely to pass on most of these. 

I think it was 50/50 last year.  Early orders got shipped pretty quick, while others had to wait nine months to get theirs fulfilled.
