Nice that we're getting a few more figures from Rogue One, although it would have been nice to get something more interesting than white guy engineer Galen Erso. 

I'd love a Moroff.

[Diddly]

Oh my God, I cannot believe these madmen actually did it. Rereleases of some of the biggest pegwarmers of the entire 6 inch line! And two of the three new figures are exclusives, to Target, so good luck fighting over the 5000 figure production run.

I mean I'll admit that the new Photoreal faces look GREAT, but I'll wait for the rest of those to join their 2016 brethren at Five Below.

The only exciting thing there are the Pipeline reveals. I wonder if the HasLab project will be something Jabba's Palace related? Maybe a rerelease of Jabba with a throne room diorama, to go with the ROTJ Bib Fortuna? A 6 inch scale Rancor? Both would fit the timeframe for ROTJ's 40th in 2023 too.

I think some of my local Walgreens still have Chirrut, Baze, and Cassian on their shelves...

Some of mine have Krennic.  Surprised he wasn't also released with photo real.

I think a part of the saving grace here is the Rogue One Crew will be fan channel releases like the Ghost Crew were last summer. Keeps production numbers down on the rereleases and the figure that was deemed not worthy of a run the first time around. And especially if they have bundle deals like the Rebels figures last summer, they should be able to move the sets easy enough.

I'd imagine the updated K-2SO will be the winner of the group, while Jyn will be the loser. The rest will do fine, and at least Cassian is not the Jedha version.

As for the two Target exclusives, yeah they might as well be GI Joes...

[McMetal]

Sheesh, I picked the wrong day to focus on my actual job, lol. I sure missed a lot!

I’m happy about all of these, most of all Bodhi. But yeah, I dread the thought of finding those two Target exclusives.

HasLab gotta be the Rancor. 

[Nicklab]

The Archive wave seems odd to me.  Didn’t Hasbro update the deco on the 6” TBS A New Hope Leia for the 40th Anniversary Collection?  I also recall that Revan had been re-released before.  So those two Archive releases seem more like triple-dipping.  The 501st Clone is a solid troop builder, and one of the coolest of the phase 2 clones.  And I’m also glad to see Hasbro get ROTS Obi-Wan right this time. 

The Rogue One crew?  The paint apps are a major improvement.  But to only get one actual new figure is disappointing.  I hope that there’s a bundle deal for these from GameStop like there was with the Ghost crew. 

Merrick and Galen Erso were a surprise.  But Target exclusives?  Uck.  The pipeline reveals were good.  Glad to see that Nomad Boba Fett will stand on his own.  It was a great depiction of the character in The Mandalorian. 

And good call about a Haslab Black Series Rancor!  I had originally been thinking of a playset, but a Rancor seems like it would fit the bill better.  If it is the case, what do you think could be the stretch goals?

Target exclusives nowhere to be found almost 15 minutes after preorders were supposed to go live.

Galen - https://www.target.com/p/-/A-81959531

[Nicklab]

There’s a limit of one of each per customer.  Although I don’t see lot of troop building potential here - unless someone is REALLY trying to make all the pilots of Blue Squadron.

[Dave]

Still in stock 90 minutes later.  That's new.

[GrandMoffNick]

Lesson learned or these are that not sought after?

[Dave]

I see where the normal (non-Target exclusive) Rogue One figures are labeled as "fan channel".  Do we know what stores that includes and excludes?

Will these be in Target and Wal-Mart?  I didn't see either of them list these figures today (other than Target listing their exclusives).

I thought Target and Wal-Mart usually carried "fan channel" items as at least online only, and sometimes in store.
