Great set. Its' about time.
-
Would like to see some crisp close-up shots of the face sculpts. Not bad though.
-
Looks nice! I'll be getting these!
-
This is the way Hasbro should do a lot of the TVC figures going forward if they're worried about individual figures at retail. Get three new and decent figures together in a set and sell them for $50.
I'm in for this set.
-
Very nice set! I’m down for this one as well...
-
Easy buy for me, and I agree I’d be down for more 3 packs. People bitching about price, yeah as always, but hey, 3 new good figures.
-
Any clue when these will be available for pre-order?
-
Hasbro’s Instagram said ‘available September,’ but no word on when in September.
-
Maybe after their own con?

They will be going up for sale during the just announced Hasbro Pulse Con (https://www.starwars.com/news/hasbro-pulsecon) 9/25-9/26.
Not sure which day exactly, but definitely during this event.
-
Thanks everyone!
-
Premium members can get them today 12 pm ET!
Non premium members tomorrow same time!
I just found these on Hasbro Pulse.....should be available in a few minutes!!!!
-
Just got my order in. Easy.
-
Other than the photos to prove I'm not a robot took me longer than usual.....I got one!
-
Got stuck presenting in a meeting at work and when the mtg ran long, I was worried I was gonna be SOL on this today.
Was pleased to find them still in-stock at 11:20am CT. Got my order in, no issues. :)
-
Apparently you got them just in time! I heard they sold out shortly after.
I managed 2 with 2 separate orders, sane account. We'll see how that goes. Hear someone snagged 13 for eBay presales. Hope Hasbro puts a stop to that. Won't hurt as much if my 2nd one is canceled.
-
I'm going to assume this will be like the last set with Luke: the clones will be available separately. Fives is already out, Jesse and Echo will be out next year?
-
This is still showing available to add to cart.

Right now it sounds like the ARC Trooper pack may be more like the Dr.Aphra set where "some but not all" are put in TVC single carded.

Ha! Yes. Just saw that. May have received faulty info.
-
I got mine, though I had to go back and do it as a separate order since I was hyper focused on the 6” stuff initially.
-
Got two. I’m happy. Hasbro did a good job on this. I saw some non pulse guys bitching but hey, this is what ya want for a premium thing from a company. Subscription or whatever you want to call it.

To this day I haven’t spent a nickel to have a Pulse membership. It was free for a year with any purchase, then they extended it for free.
In that sense, I don’t get the complaining... as long as you pay attention and didn’t start collecting less than a year ago, you had a shot at this access for free.
-
I agree with Rob 100%. I haven't spent anything on my Pulse membership. They've been great!
-
I got in for free, but the free shipping pays for itself. Plus, I like having the perk of getting access to Preview night at Comic-Con.

Yeah, I think I bought two TVC Shore troopers so I could qualify for the free Pulse Membership when they launched and that was totally worth it. I've easily made my money back in free shipping since that initial $25 purchase to qualify.
-
I was too stupid to buy anything back then. I've tried to go back in time a few times to figure out what the hell I was thinking. All I did was make Cedric Diggory a Death Eater (sorry not a SW reference).

That's an even worse Harry Potter reference.

Totally... also, I'd happily pay the $50 a year if that's what it comes to. I've put in most pre-orders through pulse, and it's been so freaking convenient to not have to worry about going to stores or whether or not it's going to pop into stock at whatever retailer... Hasbro doesn't always ship first, but they're going to be reliable.
Now if they could just figure out how to mail more than one figure per box...

I'm reading it to my son right now. We held out for awhile as I've heard this "8th" book/play sucks, but were giving it a chance.
-
Yeah I used to think F that to paying for pulse but now? Ehhhhhh it’s worth it to me I think.

Keep in mind, its still not a guarantee. I'm a Pulse member and hoped on 15 minutes after they went on sale. Got the Clones, but the Heroes of Endor was sold out. You'd think they would still let you pre-order as a member if there are no limits on quantity, but I had to log in early like everyone else the next day to snag mine. I think its worth the membership for the free shipping, but would drop it in a flash if that wasn't included.

Both my arc sets came, so apparently circumventing the 1x rule was possible. Guess I’m a dick.

I'm outraged. I hold you solely responsible for me not getting one. May you burn on Mustafar!

No shipping note for me yet. :(
-
I got charged for the ARC Troopers, too. And again, no shipping notification.
-
I got my shipping confirmation email from Hasbro as well as a shipping update from the FedEx app this morning. Should be here tomorrow. :)
-
Mine is scheduled for Monday. These look really good!
-
Got mine this afternoon. Wasn't expecting it as I didn't get any shipping notification.
-
Got my HasbroPulse notice this past Tues night and FedEx notice on Wed midday with eta of this coming Tues then revised to upcoming Thurs. Oh, well.
-
I accept full responsibility for ruining the clone 3-pack thing. I also messed up shipping notifications cuz I could. Thank you, and god bless yinz.
-
Got mine this week and love it. Going right into the Clone Wars closet!
-
Mine showed up a day early. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
-
I finally got a shipping notice on this set and the TESB 40th Anniversary Wampa.

^ I see what you did there.
-
Got my first set. Can't wait for my opener set.
-
Just cracked this one open, the only thing I'm not super impressed with is all the weapon quality. The pistols don't fit snugly in the holsters and are bound to get lost, and the larger blasters are so bendy that I'm having a real hard time getting them into their hands and staying there.
The figures are great though.
-
A few observations.
1) The head attaches with a barbell/double ball-and-socket joint. Makes sense if Hasbro goes to a universal head attachment even if it means one extra piece per figure.
2) Saw some reviews on youtube that Five's helmet gets stuck on his head. While my Five's helmet is a little more snug on Five and Echo, luckily it doesn't get jammed. Echo's and Jesse's helmet fits fine over Echo and Five's head.
3) These guys are noticeably shorter than Commander Wolffe. I wonder if they were inadvertently scaled to Temuera Morrison's actual height instead of the onscreen 6'. Oddly, the head on these three are ever so slightly bigger than Wolffe's.
I'm a big fan of the animated clones getting a real-life treatment. Hope we see more.

I just noticed that Fives is available on EE, with an expected date of Sept. I hadn't heard this was happening, but I preordered him as soon as I saw it as I wasn't able to get this set. Anyone know if that's been announced anywhere? I'm interested to get Jesse as well.

Fives was part of TVC Wave 4 last year. He is being re-issued to go with the carded TVC Echo, Ahsoka, and Maul that are coming this Summer/Fall.
As of today, there are no plans to release Jesse as a single carded TVC figure.
-
Ah that makes sense, thanks!
