I'm not sure what wave this Luke is in, so I'm giving him his own thread for now until we get clarification where he belongs.
Pre-order tomorrow at 1pm ET. I am guessing there must be a TBOBF Grogu with Yoda-style backpack coming soon or this figure makes zero sense...
Man, this figure feels really plain and light on accessories for $17. :-\

Word on the street is this Luke will also be in a deluxe box with Grogu and backpack. Preorder at your own peril!
-
100% chance that happens. Hasbro is so predictable that it's sad.
For $17 just pack him with the dumb backpack and re-released Grogu and call it a damn day.
-
I looked at this figure and I needed to take a nap.
-
I'm wondering how long before this shows up as a new ROTJ Jedi Knight Luke even though it's only been a couple of years since the last one.
-
The slow rollout of these new waves is a little frustrating. But I also get the sense that we might see more of this wave revealed this coming weekend at Star Wars Celebration in London.
The figure looks reasonably good. But I think everyone's cynicism about the future re-use of this figure is pretty well justified.
-
The head sculpt is completely wrong. If you’re going to reuse the body, at least fix his hair.
I’m halfway expecting that to be fixed in the deluxe pack… as a cash-grab way to sell both to people who collect variants or realize later that the second one is nicer.
-
This new Luke figure truly just catches my eye.
-
It looks like the Grand Inquisitor belongs in this wave - links not live until 1pm ET

The Grand Inquisitor looks pretty true to his appearance in the OWK series. I'm sure that some 3D printer is already working on a replacement head that's more true to his appearance in REBELS. I've seen some Black Series versions that look pretty amazing.
The Inquisitor really stands out for me.
The Grand Inquisitor looks bang on to the source material. Really couldn’t ask for more on Hasbro’s part with this guy. I do of course wish LFL would have made his OWK appearance more accurate to the Rebels look, but that’s another matter entirely. I too will be very interested to see what kinds of alternative head sculpts the customizing community comes up with. As is I’m down for two of him for now, and may get a third to swap out heads eventually.

Pic from SDCC (https://twitter.com/yak_face/status/1681758493747957764). Hasbro forgot to blackout the cardback of this wave and now we've got confirmation on Jayson's rumor list:
OWK - Grand Inquisitor
TBOBF - Jedi Academy Luke
Ahsoka - Ahsoka (repaint on Ahsoka cardback)
Ahsoka - Grand Admiral Thrawn
Ahsoka - Morgan Elsbeth
Ahsoka - HK87 Droid

From the thumbNail I thought the second one was going to be Holdo.

Nice wave! Can't wait to get a closer look at these!

Those look great, and I'm all-in for a troop builder pack of the HK droids.
-
Even though we all knew these were coming, I am still excited. They look great, especially the soft-goods. I too would be more than down for a few troop-building packs of the HKs.
-
This is where they need to go back to the old style "battle packs". I don't really want four HKs, but give me two HKs and the Inquisitor in a pack and I'd buy that in a second.
-
I’d take four HK’s if they’re are painted up to be the precise versions we’ve seen in the show, but battle packs like you’re describing would definitely be awesome to get back into the line in various ways. But, those aren’t cheap to produce like these are, and Hasbro is nothing if not cheap in their production choices these days.
-
Agreed, and that is why I'd probably pass on a four pack of HKs with (nearly) identical paint jobs. Plus Hasbro doesn't really give you much of a discount for buying the four pack vs. individually priced figures.
If I want multiple HKs I'll probably just get the carded versions, but I also probably don't want more than two.

Thanks Jeff, ordered with the Amazon links.
-
Just found an HK Assassin Droid at a small Target. Didn’t expect that.
I can’t remember, we’re there more than one with this body and paint scheme in the show or is he a one-off? Wondering if I’m keeping my preorders or
canceling them.

Woah, new show toys at retail within a month of the show ending? What is this black magic *******?
There are definitely multiples. All of the ones in the Nightsister Temple were unique. I'm not sure if that means they all unique though. I plan on keeping a few extras of the basic figure, and fully expect we will see this again in a troop builder pack w/ the alternate decos.
-
Yeah my recollection was that they were all unique and I know there were lots of them... I'm just wondering if there were more than one of THIS EXACT RED ONE in any given scene.

Tangentially related, my daughter loved the Young Jedi show and watched all of it when it came to D+. She wanted toys but there were none. Yesterday I was at Wally and I noticed an entire line of figures (and vehicles!!), Would have been nice to have when she was more into it.

No real point at this point to my post, but this line was in stores in June. I bought the three main Jedi kids.

I saw an endcap full of Young Jedi Adventures merchandise at Target. And it was placed near the section of the toy department that’s dedicated to little kids toys.

Got a bunch of notices from Amazon that this wave is coming this week instead of December... man, I am so behind on finding time to open up some of this stuff - I still haven't even set up my Mando starfighter or Jabba Palace yet.
-
I got those too. I just need Thrawn as this point, and to figure out if there’s any on-screen reason to keep more then one of the HK droids in this color scheme.
-
Seeing a lot of this wave at GameStop this week…

Most of them seem to use the Retro scheme, which also better matches the way they looked in The Mandalorian. This all-red one seems to be a bit unique. I'm planning to buy a second and hold onto it for a bit before I decide to open it.
I still think a 4-pack of these in that other more common color scheme seems like it would be a no brainer if I were running Hasbro SW team...

Amazon doing Amazon things...
- Grand Inquisitor showed up yesterday as scheduled
- Ahsoka (due today by 10pm) was pushed back (to Wed)
- Morgan still due Wednesday...
- HK-87 went from due today by 10pm to "please approve a shipping delay" email
-
Everything hit all at once, and I was able to grab the full wave this week between Target, Pulse, & Amazon. Luckily with the confusion around the assortment numbers, the Target figures (2x Grand Inquisitor, 1x Hk-87, 1x Morgan, 1x Luke) all rang up for $12.99 instead of the $16.97, and I was also able to get one figure free with some Target rewards points, saving me about $32. Now I'll just have to return some of the Amazon orders.
For anyone curious (Rob), I did notice that this Ahsoka is different from the VC222 Ahsoka [Corvus] version. The new VC297 has a noticeable more saturated and deeper orange skin tone.
-
Yep, I snagged an Ahsoka the other day and checked that...
I've managed to find the whole wave except Thrawn at Targets for $12.99 each, which is awesome.
-
I’m wondering if the Grand Inquisitor is going to follow in Reva’s footsteps… the two targets nearest me have each had 6 on the pegs for a few weeks.
-
Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker, and the Grand Inquisitor are catching my eye.
