Got my Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) today from Amazon.  Not only does he have the wrong boots like so many others have mentioned, but I love the fact that they couldn't even be bothered to toss in the gun he's using on the cardback and cheaped out with just the tiny pistol accessory. 

Don't get me wrong, I still love the 3.75" stuff but $17 for what is clearly a kitbash of other Imperial parts (which we will see re-used no doubt on Ferrix Imperials, the armor probably on a new Veers figure, etc) with the wrong costume bits and light on accessories is not really doing it for me today.  :-\

I actually found him and a Clone Trooper at Target today… my Amazon order was supposed to be Wednesday, but the Target I was at still had them marked as $13.79, so I bought them in store
and canceled the order.

This doesn't make any sense.  Why wouldn't they put in a regular imperial blaster?  Seems like they gave a summer intern the project for kitbashing this and the final quality control.  Weak effort on this one.

I saw Piett at Target yesterday, Hunter is the only one I want from that wave though. Fingers crossed I get lucky one day and find a fresh restock.

I've got a spare Hunter if you're feeling like a trade.

So far the only figure from this wave that I've seen in a store was Cassian (Aldhani Mission).  The short-packing of 4 figures in this wave is in the process of slowly blowing up in everyone's faces.

As for Cassian?  I really wish Hasbro could have figured out the right way to do the boots.  Hell, the boots on the Cantina band member look more like the ones those Aldhani Imperial troops wore than what Hasbro gave this figure.  And I'm equally disappointed that Hasbro could bring themselves to sculpt the E10 blaster rifle that the Aldhani cell had.

Got my Hunter from Amazon today.

Still on the hunt for a Phase 2 Clone Trooper and Starkiller.  I don't believe these have showed up on Amazon yet, although I know this wave has started to hit Target.

I’ve seen remnants of this wave about 8 times now and it’s always the Andor figures and Piett, sometimes Cal too. But it is impossible to find Hunter Starkiller or the Clone. Super frustrating, because I refuse to pay $16.99 for him online.

GrandMoffNick just pointed out to me that the Phase II Clone Trooper is finally on Amazon for pre-order.  The default setting tries to get you to buy from a third party seller for $35, but if you change the seller you can pre-order from Amazon for normal inflated retail.

Found a third Phase II Clone at Target today... they're still selling them for $12.99 for some reason, and I'm not complaining.  It's the only reason I'm buying multiples.  I've found 3 so far, would buy 3 more if I can find them at that price.

Nice, I still have yet to see this wave, with the exception of Cassian, at retail at all. I preordered the wave (mixed between Amazon, Pulse, & EE) and got all of my preorders a month ago, with the exception of the clone. I still have not seen him anywhere yet. Hopefully EE will get him in soon.
