I'm putting mine in my DS2 Emperor's Arrival ROTJ shelf.

Yeah, basically this, but I have snowtroopers in columns there too. And Tarkin. And a few K2 droids.

I'm kind of Jabba's Palace'd out.



Come on, man...you're making Droopy feel not-so-McCool.

I'm putting them in my Imperial display, so they're standing at attention with all the stormtroopers and others in columns.

I got these yesterday, and overall I'm really happy with the set. I'd love to get a black-tunic officer 4-pack, similar to the Rebel troopers pack, where they're all generic. I could even see a Death Star Trooper 4-pack as well. I'm happy with them continuing to build out the named Imperials, but I think they need to figure out some way to provide slight variation in the heights, so they don't all look exactly the same. General Veers in particular is a fairly tall ************ at 6' 3". Grand Moff Tarkin is ~6'.

Still, I'm all for using these 4-packs to get definitive versions of the Imperials, instead of waiting for the slow trickle of carded figures. I wouldn't want to take up the main line with Captain Needa and General Tagge (for example) to rot on the pegs.

TVC Max Rebo Band is all I want to see, now that we finally have an updated Squidhead.

I just ordered another 212th troop builder pack. I'm slowly giving the older clones to my son, who is more than happy to receive them. He'll beat the **** out of them while I fill the ranks with better clones (and eventually he'll probably get all of those too).

Yeah, I got the "shipping soon" email too, and I cancelled my Amazon order.

This set is pretty excellent, and opened both my sets last night. I put the figures in their respective places with the first set (barge and skiff) and I'm going to gladly add them to my palace display today. The skiff guard actually has the same uniform as the palace guard that Luke steals the blaster from, aside from a black beard and no face covering, so it'll be an easy project to customize him, or an easy release for Hasbro.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was meant to be Ackbar. They didn't have him speak for real world reasons. I would actually be ok with them recasting him, if they can find someone to do his voice. It would be nice to have Ackbar as a returning character and a connection to the OT.

Might have to take a ride later, even though my Target always seems unaware that there is a movie series called Star Wars.

I got the shipping email a couple days ago, but it's sitting in Wisconsin with an unknown delivery date. Eventually it'll get to Massachusetts, but man am I impatient for this one!

Got mine as well. Bib Fortuna is pretty freaking excellent, and I'm happy to have the Bib/Boba throne. I also really like all the accessories, and the grill is a step up from the one in my display (minus the lights that I'll need to wire in and the metallic paint I'll need to airbrush). I was considering keeping this as Boba Fett's palace, but now I'm considering selling the archways and backdrop and just keeping the figure and accessories. I can swap the BOBF figures into my display for photos, but I don't think I need to keep playset...or maybe I'll give it my son.

So, are these supposed to be live at 4pm for Pulse Premium members? All I see is Krennic.

Yeah I'd love to see Krennic, but even more, I want that ****** on my Imperial shelf like yesterday.

Agreed - TBOBF was definitely toyetic.  But Hasbro's turnaround time developing figure lines has been pretty slow.  That's largely attributable to LFL holding their assets closely in order to protect against spoilers.  But you have to think that maybe they can figure out a way to release some assets early to Hasbro in order to capitalize on interest in the show with new figures and vice versa.

As for what I'd like to see augment the Throne Room from TBOBF?
-Boba's Gamorrean Guard(s)
-Night Wind assassin
-Trandoshan or Aqualish gang members
-Boba Fett's Rancor with Danny Trejo's Rancor keeper

I'm just not there with the Mods.  Not yet.

To be fair to Hasbro (and I admittedly don't do that often), if it takes roughly 18 months to develop a new toy, and they don't get any character designs ahead of time, then they're actually whipping these out pretty fast.
