NICE! A vast improvement over the POTF2 rendition of the A-Wing.

I was wondering when this was going to happen. You had to figure that it would. Especially in light of the rumored tour offers that were thrown their way, and apparently Plant shot it down.

Thanks for the offer Sal. But I'll wait until I find one at a store. I'm still hunting for the WalMart exclusives and the comic 2-pack wave with Thrawn.

I've found everything in this wave at brick and mortar stores except for Jodo Kast. I'm a little surprised that this is such a popular figure. I've only seen Jodo in stock at collector shops that are charging $12. I won't pay such a ridiculous price. I have a hard time paying $9.99 for a figure at KayBee after all.
Regardless of that, I picked up another Quad Cannon Clone so that I could finish off the RA-7 droid. That's actually the best BAF droid of the bunch thus far.

I'd still like to see images of the new cockpit. If it's as good as the new B-Wing cockpit or that of the V-19, I'll be impressed.
But $29.99, huh?

Got a young Indy today. I hope I can get the rest of the figures before the line gets killed. But at this point I only have 2 Last Crusade figures.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Millenium Falcon (prequel eco) in Clone Wars and as a toy.

I liked the fact that there was a Falcon easter egg in AOTC and ROTS. But I had trouble with the EU notion of the Falcon being a Jedi ship, and that according to said EU backstory it was used for covert missions on behalf of the Jedi.
I think it's best to leave it alone. I actually like the Twilight a bit and would like to see one developed for the vehicle line.

According to the Q&A sessions, both TESB waves are supposed to be 6 figure waves. So I guess we're looking at protocol droids.

Here's my prediction/wishlist for the second TESB wave next year:
-Han Solo - Bespin gear
-Zuckuss
-Bespin Guard
-Willrow Hood
-Torryn Farr
-Imperial bridge technician (redone Scanning Trooper)
BAF - No idea

I'll have to dig it up. But Oberg (a longtime NASA guy) did a piece as early as the 1970's about two brothers in northern Italy who were amateur radio enthusiasts. Somehow they figured out how to receive the transmissions from the Soviet space craft, and monitored the exchanges between the Cosmonauts in the spacecraft and the ground. NASA caught word of this through the Italian intelligence agency and CIA. And they wound up consulting with the brothers on how to receive the transmissions.

I'm actually looking forward to getting the Plo Koon figure after seeing the "Rising Maleavolance" episode on Friday.

Is Luke in his bathrobe new? Yes. Is it interesting? That's debatable. I'll give Hasbro some credit for trying to mix it up with the core characters. But this is probably the least compelling version of Luke Skywalker from the entire OT.
Thankfully there is news of the second TESB wave which should have Willrow Hood and Torryn Farr seems to be rumored as well.

Is anyone else a little disappointed that there's only one new character in the whole wave lineup? Captain Needa is a welcome addition, but these are all just new versions of previously seen characters. But I guess that's just a fact of life since there are so few new TESB characters left to be done.
