I just got a Pulse shipping-soon email for the Mandalorian Super Commando... were we expecting these to ship basically immediately?

Edit:  Baylan and the 501st Clone and the Battle Droid 4-Pack as well. 

I haven’t even gotten the Luke wave yet!

I got the shipping notice for the battle droids pack.  Looks like Hasbro pulse is getting these first.
This is the way.

Amazon says May 1... so I just wasn't expecting them so soon.

Those pulse emails are really confusing...

"We're emailing you for one of the two reasons below.

1. Your Item Will Ship Soon!
We wanted to give you a heads up that your order is getting ready to ship!

2. A pre-order date has a new shipping date:

We're writing to provide you with an update regarding the status of your recent order on HasbroPulse.com.

Regrettably, we must inform you there has been an unexpected delay in shipping the following item below:
G12865L00 - STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Battle Droid 4-Pa

The new approximate ship date for this item is: July 01, 2025"


It looks like it's telling you something is shipping but it's really saying your pre-order is delayed...

Oh damn, I did not look that closely... so yeah it's just telling me that the new shipping date for all of these is July 01.

Why would they do these emails like this?!

This also explains why I started getting emails about the Luke wave, but nothing has shipped.  Really dumb.

Not at all.  It’s really sloppy messaging.

Always read the fine print, eh?

I was on the verge of canceling my Amazon orders for Baylan and Shin with the intention to re-order them through Hasbro Pulse.  But that’s not happening if Hasbro’s going to pull these types of shenanigans.

It looks like this might be a big livestream.  Because Toy Fair is just 3 days after this particular event.  While Hasbro has shifted away from Toy Fair as one of the centerpieces of their promotional calendar, it's still important as an industry event.  I'll be interested to see if they finally start rolling out the Return to Tatooine theme.

I am really hoping today is "return to Tatooine" flavored. 

Remember back in September when they showed off this "Return to Tatooine" Checklist and promised to fill it out over the next few months and then haven't touched it since?

We need to get back to this with some juicy new reveals - Sandtrooper, Landspeeder, Dewback, C-3PO, new Cantina aliens - and not just showing off the pipelined Han, Ben, Chewie, Hammerhead.

Yes please.  There is still a ton of stuff they could do for the first time or make huge improvements to…

I’d love an Owen and Beru, a new Lars Homestead or maybe Obi-Wan’s house as an interior.  A V-35 Landspeeder, or a Ubrikkian 9000.  Plenty of cantina aliens yet…

Wrong movie and a conversation for another place, but I’m also kind of blown away that they never did anything with Yoda’s hut given the Kenner roots of it all.

A bit light on TVC, but Emily hinted there might be more at Toy Fair this weekend.

Nice to get confirmation on the landspeeder. Hopefully that is not going to cost more than the Speeder Bikes (without a pack-in I feel that is still reasonable even with today's prices). I can't image wanting to spend to much more that than on a small vehicle...

Ponda Baba looks fine, he was an obvious rerelease. I'm bummed he didn't get some additional retooling but the updated paint looks like a minor improvement.

The Commando looks fantastic and the accessories all look great, that being said I may have preferred to forgo some of the accessories to get him on a single card. As a deluxe, I likely won't be picking up as many of them and will hope it gets rereleased in either a troop-builder pack or on a basic card.

Hammerhead is everything I was hoping he's be (aside from being a deluxe, but that was definitely expected). They included enough accessories to make it feel like he is worth the deluxe price. Given that he is an "Original 96" figure I wish they would have found a way to get him onto a standard card (even if it was at the Deluxe price), the Hasblab Zeb shows they could have done it with a large figure w/ large accessories. It will be interesting to see how big he actually is once we have him in hand.

I kinda think Hasbro messed up here.  Recently deluxe figures have really peg warmed, and when you have an army builder I would think you would want it on a basic card.

I definitely think that they should have eliminated a bunch of accessories and made this a standard figure.

I'll be interested if they take the shield and some elements and make a riot control Stormtrooper for Andor.
