I really don’t think we could go wrong here, but that top 10 looks great. Not sure how I left Sandtroopers out of my top 10, we really need them updated to the new Stormtrooper sculpt.

182
Ended up tweaking my list to be sure to include the Hutt Twins. I hope they show up again in future seasons.

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.

For just simple repaints, I really dig these. This set is such a cool nod to Star Wars & Kenner history. Hopefully we will see some fully packaged images soon. I wonder if the two-pack packaging will be similar to the Zuckuss & 4-LOM CV exclusive set? I’d be down for more figures from this sun-line, whether that is Logray, other Ewoks, or all new tooling on some other Ewoks figures. The packaging style is really neat. I went ahead and preordered two.

The Ewoks & Droids cartoons were before my time, but I’ve been watching them on Disney+ lately. I’m not sure how well they stand the test of time for those of us who don’t have any nostalgia associated with them… but I’ve still found some enjoyment in them. The theme song sure gets stuck in your head, and not ina good way. My wife and I randomly will start singing it to each other.

Still nothing. Maybe they meant Hawaii Time?

Did Clone Captain Howzer ever go up for preorder anywhere yet? That’s not a Walmart exclusive, just part of a regular wave, right?

Thx!

Pretty sure he has not, just like the rest of the wave (Bunker Han, Piett, & ROTJ Vader).

They don't have anything particularly rare, but KidsWarehouse currently has some discounted TVC & Black Series figures, including a few TVC figures at $6.99 & 501st Clones for under $10.

Here's my list, in no particular order of preference. It was hard to get down to 10. Overall I have really liked these sets. I'll happily take a single-carded version of any of these new tools before the army pack if that's what it takes Hasbro to make them.

  • Pyke Syndicate - (TBOBF)
  • Imperial Army Troopers -- (Andor)
  • Rebel Pathfinders -- (Rogue One)
  • Rebel Pilots (Red Squadron) -- (Rogue One)
  • Rebel Commandos (Endor) -- (ROTJ)
  • Rebel Soldiers (Endor) -- (ROTJ)
  • Rebel Pilots (Blue Squadron) - [Mix of 2 X-Wing & 2 U-Wing Pilots] -- (Rogue One)
  • Imperial Hovert Tank Drivers + Crew -- (Rogue One)
  • Imperial Beskar Jet Troopers -- (The Mandalorian Season 3)
  • Imperial Navy Troopers -- (ANH)

For an obvious repaint, it looks pretty good. At $44.99 (or $49.99 if Rob is right and this follows the pattern of the Tuskens...) I'm down for two of these to start. Had this been closer to $30, I'd have wanted 4-5.

No Boba Tax this time. That's nice at least. I'm glad they put this guy on a single card. I really didn't want to pay $200 for another Slave I.

I've been eagerly awaiting this order from Amazon.  And then what happens?????

Something that makes me want him more.

If their track record is consistent they should repost this in a few months either for more pre-orders or when it finally hits US shores.

I was stuck in a work meeting and missed the pre-order.  I added the set to my favorites list in the Target app so I can keep an eye on it and watch for one of those magical windows where it is available again sometime in the next 6 months.

I'm in the same boat. I'm not too disappointed though. I have the basic figure preordered and there isn't a ton of extra value included here. If it comes back in stock or I see it in stores, I may eventually swap out the preorder of the basic figure for the deluxe version.

The Massiff looks good and is definitely an improvement, but I never disliked the Saga version, and I have a few of those around. I'm not sure the beast itself is worth an extra $10 to me. Put me in the camp of preferring another Tusken repaint/retool over the straight repack of the new Tusken Warrior. I wish they at least had included an addition unique accessory in the set.

I am still bummed Hasbro isn't selling your version of the Palace... :P
