They said the Shriek Hawk Mandalorians are an Amazon exclusive... I wonder if that means they will be in a carded 4-pack set (like most of the other Amazon 4-packs) rather than a troop builder pack? I hope that it is not, but that would also imply that this is the first troop-builder pack that aren't available on Pulse & Shop Disney.

Generic alien & human mixed pilots? Love it. I'm down for 2-3 sets for some headswaps. Hopefully they do a few more of these with new heads/aliens and some other named pilots from the movies.

I also appreciate the new art added to the top-panels of Troop-Builder pack boxes. I love the simple aesthetic on these sets.

Maybe the "Cheers" comment still means something and we are still getting a bar...

Just not the bar anyone expects (or would really want in this format). The Haslab will actually be the New Republic pilot bar on Adelphi from The Mandalorian Season 3. It will pair with the upcoming X-Wing Pilot Troop builder pack. Unlocks will be Carson Teva & Trapper Wolffe w/ their jackets and hat, the Snivvian bartender, & Zeb in pilot gear (reusing some of the new Zeb toolings). The "Comlink" comment was supposed to be a reference to Carson Teva talking to Din.


(I say this mostly jokingly.)

Grogu is fine... but sure feels overpriced for what we get in the pack. I really wish they would have included an Anzellan or some other new accessories to give this one a bit more value.

Ah, interesting. I don't really follow any of their non-SW stuff so I hadn't noticed that.

Do we know when The Ghost will ship? It's a little odd if they are going to ask us to back this upcoming Haslab before we even have the last one in hand.

Got this one a bit ago… perfectly solid figure, but like we always talk about, very overpriced.  It’s a basic figure in every way, he take up no more space than any other figure.

They just want a 50% markup because they can.

But Rob, there are flame effects? Surely those are worth $3 each?

I decided to order a full case for the first time in 10+ years (I also grabbed two Zebs from EE while I was at it). I was planning on doing two of each anyway, and with the set at two each this just makes sense. Here's to hoping those TBDs end up being the unannounced VC320 & VC321 and not some carryforward figure from the previous wave...

Love the Kanan, but I really hope we get the rest of the Rebels mains in Season 1 attire. (I thought that's what this Ezra was originally supposed to be.)

Jango just showed up on my doorstep from EE. :)

Isn’t he on a regular card in the Haslab or did I read that wrong on Instagram comments?

He is on a regular card with the Ghost, yeah. I meant on a non-Mural cardback.

Love it. He's been near the top of my lists for years. I just wish he wasn't Deluxe, or not in this packaging anyways. I just want him on a regular card, even if it had to be at a deluxe price since he is bigger.

Three voters.    Guess most folks don't have strong opinions on EU any more.

Or they figure Hasbro won't touch them??? 

I think it was a combo of those for me. I updated mine to all the Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor stuff because it felt like we'd have better chance of getting current media figures. I would still want other older EU figures, but I fear we'd largely be in the minority there these days. With the exception of a few main characters from the EU, we just don't have enough slots in the TVC line where anything from this classic EU that would make my top 50.

Same. I haven't seen many clear images yet, but the shots I've seen have looked great. Obviously we are already getting these three with the Ghost this year, but they've all been near the top of my most wanted figures for years, so I'm excited to get some other alternate versions.

Here is Darth Anton's video of the panel if you missed it.

Hopefully we will see early season Hera, Sabine, & Chopper reveals soon, too.

For those who missed the numbering it looks like Kannan is VC318 & Ezra is VC319.

This just showed up on my porch from Pulse this morning. Just in case anyone else had forgotten they ordered one/another one of these.
