2022 Convention Exclusive TVC "The Rescue" Box Set

Can't wait to shell out $80 for some fire effects...

Don't be absurd, you're also getting a cloth cape and some handcuffs!

And the Beskar Spear!

Oh silly me for not noticing... That's a lot of entertainment-inspired accessories in one pack!!!

World building.  Truly world building.

HEY!  That's TWO cloth capes and some handcuffs,  AND a spear.

The one thing from these images that's a picking point is the flamethrower on the right gauntlet.  But you know that Hasbro had to find a way to make that work.  The flames weren't going to cling to it via magic.

Is Mando's cloth cape just the one from the Razor Crest pack-in figure?  If so, that's not a new piece so I'm not going to count it...

Got the heads up email from Pulse that this set should be shipping at the end of the coming week (~Dec 2nd)

[Rob]

Just got charged for this one.

[Matt_Fury]

Got an e-mail saying these are on the way.

[Mister Skeezler]

Same here. It should actually arrive on my birthday, so that's pretty cool.

[Jeff]

The size of the shipping box that I got with this set seemed ridiculous to me until I opened it to see how big the packaging/box was for this set.  I understand that the presentation here is much different, but the size of this box compared to the size of the troop builder 4-packs is crazy.

Now that I have the set in hand, it really is kinda sad that I paid $75 for this box of repaint/kitbashes when just a week earlier I got 4x Hoth Rebel repaint/kitbashes for $45.  Oh well, joke is on me I guess for buying it.

[Nicklab]

Mine arrived today, too.  And I agree - the size of the shipping box is ridiculous.  But I guess trying to get a shipping box that’s appropriately sized for this might have been problematic.
