Not sure on the best place to put this so this seems as good as any -

Steve Evans updated his website with some nifty TVC photo-checklists.  Looks like the Ghost pack-in figures will get the special HASxxx numbering, while Sabine/Chopper will get standard VC#s. 

VC307 Count Dooku
VC308 Finn (Starkiller Base)
VC309 Phase I Clone Trooper

VC317 Captain Rex

VC202 Ahsoka (Siege of Mandalore)
VC322 R7-A7
VC323 CH-33P (Cheep)
VC324 RG-G1 (G-G)

VC66A Salacious Crumb
VC325 8D8

VC332 Sabine Wren
VC333 Chopper (C1-10P)

$70?!

I'd have preferred a white-box troop builder 4-pack style release for $55-60, but $70 is the price you pay for the "carded figures in a box" gimmick.  Just be glad it wasn't $80 like the Jabba Goon carded 4-pack was?

It is tempting to wait it out though as the Amazon TBB 4-pack and OWK 3-pack both hit clearance prices 30-50% off at times.

Pre-orders close 2/14 at 11:59pm ET.

Reminder that today is "pre-order or get off the pot" day for this set...  Hasbro says there may be very limited availability once the set arrives this fall, but today is the last day to lock in a pre-order if you haven't already.

If you wanted this but never had the chance to get one from Disney or Pulse, you can now pre-order it on EE:

Was thinking the same thing, and was bummed that they're looking at including a Mando with them... I'd rather it be a little less expensive and not have him, but I get it.

If they are going with Mando, I'm hoping it's S1/E1 Mando with his pre-beskar armor.  It's been a long time since we got that look for him and it might be nice to get that version again since I have so many Beskar Mando figures now.  Give him a nice soft goods upgrade over that original VC166 Mando and bring back the pulse rifle for disintegrating Jawas.

it will get repacked at least one more time with Kuill.

Yeah, that feels like a safe bet these days.  I am dumb so I'll likely buy a second Mando/Blurrg just in case they don't though.

$100 feels reasonable based on what we've seen for things these days.  I'll probably pony up for one and just sneak it into my Rebel Hangar table next to Poe's X-Wing.

Jayson is also reporting that a New Republic E-Wing Pilot figure will be a separate carded release.  Nice to know that someone will be available to put in the cockpit.

Your Top 20

Hm.  The sequel stuff is so weird.  I'd buy all 20 of these if they made it to TVC but it feels like this stuff is so far from Hasbro's plans.  I guess maybe the Elite Praetorian Guard has a chance since they could kitbash the one they did into a v2 and v3 from TLJ and then also kitbash a version from TM season 3.

I guess I keep holding out hope they try a 3.75" scale Babu Frik for a TROS Sith-3PO since they could re-use both of those easily (Babu repaint with IG12/Grogu and then countless uses for a new 3PO sculpt).

Hasbro finally sent out a press release for this line today.  Nothing new in there, so not bothering to post them here.  Only interesting thing to note is that Hasbro PR says these will be Walmart exclusive (even though we've already seen Amazon and EE taking pre-orders for them).  I guess maybe Walmart is the only brick and mortar retailer for them?
