Sweet.  I just got a "your item is about to ship" notice from Pulse for this.

Oh wait.  I guess 70 days from now, September 1st is their version of "about to ship".   ??? ??? ::)

My guess is once these are released there will be more available that people can order, including at ShopDisney.

Got one too.  I guess they were just a few minutes late.

Still showing as "sold out".

Is this a Pulse exclusive?  I'm guessing so but haven't seen it called out specifically in posts here.

Reminder:  Pre-orders for this item will open again at Hasbro Pulse today at 1pm ET. 

Not sure how many more units will be made available so be sure to set your alarms and be logged in and ready if you still need it...

For the reposting of pre-orders, are they doing the 1PM for Premium members and 2PM for the unwashed masses (like me)?  Or is that just for the new, new items like Darth Vader's TIE?

So no new figures shown?  No further information on previously pipelined figures (e.g. Han and Chewie)? 

I'm not going to even ask about Andor figures...

Does anyone have a sense of scale on this?  Is it essentially just a fancier version at the same scale as the previous $20 version?  That price is pretty crazy and probably pumped up by the Vader we don't need and extra wing panels.

I would have much preferred that if they're going to do an all new sculpt to do something like the TIE Avenger from Andor.

Thanks Jeff.  Sounds like I'll pass for now and think about it if the price drops.

I'm still interested to see photos to see if there are any meaningful variants included, or if its just four copies of what I've already got.

Side note - I'd still like to see Hasbro take on some of the newer Gamorreans - like the pit fighters in TM season 2, or Boba Fett's guards.

They could easily do a 4-pack of these guys with different axes and slightly different soft goods.  I buy one of these in a heartbeat.

Bib Fortuna is a questionable choice on Hasbro's part.  He fits the RTT theme, but is still readily available from the original run that was released in 2021/22.  I wish Hasbro would factor the retail market - both dealers and the secondary market - into their decision making process when choosing some of these re-releases.

Now that TVC is essentially out of all physical retail, this sort of decision makes less than zero sense.  The places that sell TVC (Amazon, EE, Pulse) won't get much traction with this when they already have stock online that isn't selling at a discount.  Whoever is managing TVC should have two calls to make, Amazon and EE, and ask, "can you sell this".  If the answer isn't a resounding yes then move on to your next idea.  They don't even need to do any eBay sleuthing to understand average selling price in the secondary market for this one.

Sometimes you just can't win with eBay and some of the morons purchasing things.  Some people these days don't really care if they screw an average Joe in their quest for happiness.

What a weird situation.  I’m quite happy to not be obsessively checking the app anymore.

Yeah, I'd love a behind the scenes accounting for why Target bothered to cancel all of the pre-orders, not change any pricing, but then it seems sufficient quantities showed up at retail in the following weeks.  Maybe they've got some kind of screwed up pre-order / shipping algorithm but this seems to have done nothing other than annoy the crap out of collectors with no upside for Target. 

I'm glad it seems to have all worked out for everyone, but geez, this could have been handled a lot better.

I just got an email from Amazon that mine is coming this weekend.
