Since the four Rogue One figures were split across two waves now, I guess we should have a thread for this wave too... no word on case assortment yet. Hopefully it goes 3x each like the Wave 6 case had for Jyn and Deathtrooper.

Word is that it's
3x Cassian Andor
3x Scariff Stormtrooper
2x Jyn Erso
2x Deathtrooper
1x Admiral Ackbar
1x Lando Calrissian
They are committed to those Black Series reissues. :P
-
Reissues are fine, but pick better figures.
Ahsoka and the ERG would have been much better than Lando and Ackbar. Heck, go ahead and throw in a FO Stormtrooper, or Rey, or Phasma.
-
Nice - glad they went three each of Cassian and Scarif Trooper in this case just like the original Jyn/Death Trooper case.
-
At least the Death Trooper will be back for a little while. Hope there's a cool wave 8.
-
I'd like to see some more ERG's in those carry-forwards, but I'm also glad to see more Deathtroopers. It's a very cool figure.
Definitely looking forward to the Scarif Stormtrooper. It's a cool design that harkens back a little to the Clone Army, but also has hints of the Scout Trooper design as well.
As for wave 8? Who know what to expect?!?! Although I'd definitely like to see Chirrut Imwe represented. A Stormtrooper would be welcome, too. And then there's that X-wing pilot who looks sneakily like Brian Cranston....

I'm fairly convinced I won't see these or wave 6 until 16 December.
The same thing happened with TBS Episode VII waves last year.

On my personal list of 1st World issues, this Black Series Walmart exclusivity has just surpassed "shortage of CoffeeMate mocha creamer at the grocery stores". (Emphasis on BS.)
I figured with fewer outlets, there'd be more deliveries per store even if overall numbers were lower. And an online presence would mean I didn't have to make extra trips to Walmart to compensate for not having to visit other brick-and-mortar. Aside from one bountiful visit, it's been slim pickings.
Dear Santa at the end of the annual Macy's parade that ushers in the yuletide season, please let my dreams of a black series Christmas come true. Lightly smite the powers that be at Walmart and Hasbro so they see the error of their ways. They make more products. We spend. They move into bigger mansions and drive more exotic cars. And Tunghori profits from his gray market enterprise. Everyone wins.
[And just my luck -- wrong thread. :( ]

I finally got a chance to really look at these new figures and I am really impressed!
Cassian Andor: Great figure with awesome articulation. The likeness is good, but the goatee is a bit pronounced compared with what he looks like in the movie. I love the modular design of the blaster and the added wrist articulation for when I have it in "sniper configuration".
Jyn Erso: Excellent figure! Love the extra blaster pieces here as well. Likeness is about as good as you're going to get IMO.
Deathtrooper: My first impression is that these guys are kinda skinny. Granted, the likeness is spot on from what we see on screen, I just didn't expect them to be taller and have legs so skinny. Great likeness, but my only gripe is that I wish they had a holster for the pistol.
Scarif Shoretrooper: Excellent all the way around! My only complaint is that I have only found one so far!

Arg - missed the scarif trooper. Would have been nice to grab four and be all caught up. :(
-
Patience Jeff. If I was able to find one on the pegs...everyone here will be able to!
-
We just got a pile of Leia Han Phasma... ::) One case of Jyn's wave too, but otherwise, ****. ::)
-
Pretty amazing. The Walmart I frequent must have gotten 20 cases of black series in the weeks leading up to the 25th. I think there were two wave 6, two wave 7 and the rest were wave 4. I missed all the Scarif's.
-
Was lucky for once and was able to order the Scarif Trooper off of WM.com.
-
If anyone stumbles across, or has, an extra Scarif Trooper they'd like to sell for a reasonable price...
I've been overpaying for these on eBay because it takes me 30 or 40 minutes to get to Walmart from my house, but the Scarif Troopers I haven't been able to find for less than $25 each.
-
None of the Walmarts around me ever got in the Scarif/Cassian wave and only one ever seemed to have gotten in the Deathtrooper/Jyn wave - but at least in good enough quantities that I was able to pick up what I wanted.
I ended up just buying the Cassian figures I wanted off of wm.com and having them shipped to my local store. That worked out okay.
Like Rob though, I ended up buying two Scarif Troopers off of eBay to the tune of $25 each - that stinks. I'm hoping that more hit and I'll be able to buy more easily, but, in case that never happens, at least I have one to keep MIB and another to open.
My "fear"/concern is that with the changes to the look of the line coming for the 40th anniversary, I have to wonder if future waves of the WM exclusive Black Series line will even be packaged in the same way - so the Scarif Trooper may appear as a carry-forward in the next wave, but who knows if it will be packaged the same.
If only my local stores had gotten Wave 7 in the same numbers they received Wave 4 - maybe if Phasma has more of a role in EP8 they'll have an easy time getting rid of these. I have no idea where all the TFA Han, TFA Leia and Finn figures are gonna go though...
-
I've only seen 1 Scarif Trooper and 4 Deathtroopers On the pegs at the Walmart near me. Coincidentally I only have 1 scarif Trooper and 4 Deathtroopers in my collection.
I'm hoping to get more Scarif Troopers, I think we all just have to be patient. They tend to show up eventually.
-
I was only able to get Cassian and the Shoretrooper via Walmart.com. I've never seen that wave in a store.
-
I've never seen that wave in stores and I routinely hit up 2-3 Walmart all week long.
-
I do have Cassian and I got Jyn too.

I only saw it at Thanksgiving before you were allowed to buy them. Thankfully the cashier was nice about it because while I don’t get to Walmart often, I never saw anything other than Rose again.
