2024 TVC Wave 1 (New TVC Wave 33)

[Rob]

I got Krennic today, and just got shipping soon emails for Hera and Chopper.

Edit:  Got one for Revan now too...

[Jeff]

Got the same from Amazon - 11/20 for Revan, 11/20 for Chopper, and 11/24 for Hera.  I guess we see how accurate that ends up being...

[Dave]

Nice.  I missed the preorder window for Revan and finally managed to place an order for him on Amazon.

[Jeff]

Got the same from Amazon - 11/20 for Revan, 11/20 for Chopper, and 11/24 for Hera.  I guess we see how accurate that ends up being...

Just got shipping notices for Chopper and Revan, they should be here Saturday.

My Krennic order arrived from Amazon today.  Oh, it's beautiful!  The resemblance to Ben Mendelsohn is remarkable.  And I'm wondering where Hasbro will go next with the Imperial Officer buck.  Because we all know how much they like to drive some things into the ground.

[Rob]

I just hope they use it to make some new characters.  Give some officers from Andor and the First Order.

I'm wondering where Hasbro will go next with the Imperial Officer buck.  Because we all know how much they like to drive some things into the ground.

Driving this new Imperial into the ground you say...

Hasbro:  "More Imperials?  You got it!  How about a head swap no one wanted?"

[Nicklab]

Silly me!  It's such an obvious choice, after all.

[Rob]

If I can’t get the Tonnika Sisters, this is basically the next best thing.

[Jeff]

Pre Vizsla estimated arrival changed to Friday 11/24.  Based on the rest of the wave, I'd say 50/50 chance he actually gets here on Friday.

That just leaves R5-D4 as the last one from the wave to hit Amazon (and ironically he was the first one of the wave to get pre-ordered).


**edit - Pre Viszla shipped today for Friday delivery.

Just had to approve an update to the shipping date on Revan from Amazon.

[Ryan]

Got my Hera's and Choppers from Amazon this holiday weekend (I wish Amazon would have waited so the drivers didn't need to work this weekend, but that's a side point). Both of my Hera's were crammed in a box at least 1/2" too small on each side and they were both SMASHED to ****. All three Choppers were in decent shape.

[Nicklab]

Happy to see Pre Vizsla arrived yesterday.  And Hera should be arriving today.  No sign of R5-D4 shipping yet, despite a friend informing me that he saw R5 at a Target store yesterday.

Overall the figures have been fantastic!  I'm really happy with how this wave turned out.  The timing of it caught me a little bit by surprise though, since the original delivery estimate was in January.  But I guess that's Hasbro just hedging their bets on the delivery dates.  And it should have dawned on me that they would try to get this wave out before the holidays and not after them.

The preorder situation definitely seems to have tightened up somewhat, which is a welcome thing.  Because there were a lot of outstanding preorders for a while.

[Rob]

Got Hera, Chopper, Revan, and Thrawn yesterday.  All look good to me.

[Dave]

Got Chopper, Hera, and Pre Vizsla today.  All came in separate boxes and all came in separate delivery vehicles.  One via USPS and two from two separate Amazon vans.  All on a Sunday.

I’m with Ryan.  These could have all waited until tomorrow and we’ll never know why these couldn’t have all shipped in the same box.
