Post by: McMetal on February 17, 2019, 07:47 PM: Score! ;D I was shocked to find this whole wave on the pegs at Target this morning. Usually it's a least a week or two for them to trickle out from WA to VA. Now I just need an extra Mudtrooper...

Post by: Darth_Anton on February 26, 2019, 01:55 PM: I found and picked up a random Battle droid. Although I'm not a big fan of the character, it's arguably one of the best TBS figures. Outside of a odd lack of waist articulation, the rest is perfect making one of the most posable in the entire SW line.

You mean the antenna? You can pose him with either the backpack or the antenna -

Post by: P-Siddy on February 26, 2019, 03:49 PM: Thanks, Jeff! I figured it was an antenna, but I figured it snapped onto the backpack somewhere. Good to know we can make variations!

Post by: Nicklab on February 26, 2019, 07:07 PM: Most of this wave turned up in stock briefly on Amazon (at the $19.99 price point) today. They still have the wave at inflated prices from some 3rd party sellers. But I was able to order a couple of Battle Droids yesterday and Han, Holdo, Padme and Mace Windu today. It was kind of weird that I couldn't get Dryden Vos, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

Post by: Brian on March 4, 2019, 12:22 PM: Found this wave (minus Mace) at Target last week. They all look pretty great, again just amazing how much the face scan improves these. Passed on Holdo for now, as display space for the 6" stuff is kind if limited for me. The Padme and Mudtrooper Han are standouts for me.
