Title: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones
Post by: Scott on September 27, 2008, 02:12 PM
Well...so far through Q&A's we've confirmed the following:

Obi-Wan Kenobi
OOM-9 (Maroon)
Beru Whitesun
Owen Lars

This will be a 6 figure wave...thoughts on the other two figures?  I can't believe we are FINALLY getting Owen and Beru though, they have topped the JD wishlists for a longo time :)

Tikkes, and Rune Haako! ;D

The Battle Droid Commander could be in a Battle Pack.

I would not be surprised if a Count Dooku figure (possibly an evolutions version by itself) would be in this wave.

A super articulated Zam Wesell is way overdue. I also wouldn't mind a Boba Fett resculpt.

Hasn't a Captain Typho resculpt been rumored for a while?

I believe there was a confirmation in the Q&A process of Tarados Gon.  He's a Klaatooinian Jedi from the arena battle.

There was a rumor list (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/New_Rumor_List_For_The_Legacy_Collection_117283.asp) back in Aug that listed Tarados Gon.

Great news about Owen, Beru and Obi-Wan! I'd like to see Torados, or Zam, but I could see them throwing in an AotC Anakin.

Title: Re: Legacy Wave ? - Attack of the Clones(2009)
Post by: David on September 28, 2008, 03:59 PM
Yeah, I could definitely see them throwing in a Phase II Clone Trooper with a removable helmet and Gree articulation.

I'm still hoping for Zam. I'll be pretty disappointed if she isn't in this wave.

I want the whole Lars family, too, but a separatist would also be cool, Tikkes, Shu Mai or San Hill
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Jeff on December 10, 2008, 10:57 PM
Ok, since this wave is indeed confirmed for 2009, I thought I'd bump this thread up. 

According to the people who track those sorts of things, we've got the following confirmed for this wave -
  BD xx Obi-Wan Kenobi
  BD xx Beru Whitesun
  BD xx Owen Lars
  BD xx OOM-9 Battle Droid (Geonosis Battle Droid)
  BD xx TBD
  BD xx TBD
  - Build-A-Droid #10: ?

I'm guessing one of those TBD slots is probably an Arena Jedi (Tarados Gon or something like that was rumored) and the other slot is probably another popular figure - Anakin, Clone, etc. 

I think there was a Jango rumored for this wave as well, but after getting the Apt Jango in 2007 and the SA Evo Jango this year, I'm not sure there is much left from Jango that I need/want at this point.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Rob on December 10, 2008, 11:12 PM
I wonder if they'll finally make a battle droid that can stand on its own.   :-\
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Nicklab on December 11, 2008, 12:03 AM
Glad to see the update about this wave.  Although I think that Beru and Owen could be in either an AOTC or ROTS wave.  Personally I think Beru looked better in ROTS and I'd want that version first.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Matt_Fury on December 11, 2008, 12:14 AM
I hope that Obi-Wan is the SA AOTC version we were supposed to get in an Evo pack.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Darth_Anton on December 11, 2008, 09:08 AM
I can handle all those "confirmed" so far. Good choices.

Post by: jedipurge on December 12, 2008, 05:44 PM
Didn't Q&A say something a couple weeks ago about an Uber SA EP II clone?  Not sure when they said it'd be released, but it mentioned a Uber SA Stormie as well.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Darth_Anton on December 13, 2008, 10:07 AM
That's right. Even better. The Stormtrooper, I recall, is being delayed, but the AOTC clone should be in this wave. Yay!
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Matt_Fury on December 13, 2008, 04:33 PM
If the clone rumor is correct, I'd get a bunch (since I don't have many good AOTC clones) and probably buy an AT-TE to put them in.

As of now though, I just want the Obi-Wan (but will probably get more than one for display purposes).
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Nicklab on December 13, 2008, 06:05 PM
Here's the way I think this wave might shake out...

___  BD# TBD - Obi-Wan Kenobi
___  BD# TBD - Owen Lars
___  BD# TBD - Tarados Gon - arena Jedi
___  BD# TBD - Jango Fett
___  BD# TBD - Anakin Skywalker
___  BD# TBD - Captain Typho
___  BAF - COO Cooking droid

Post by: Rune Haako on December 16, 2008, 10:46 AM
Here's what I hope we get,

Obi-Wan (Confirmed)
Battle Droid Commander (Confirmed)
Tikkes
Rogwa Wodrata
Rune Haako
Denaria Kee

BAD - Dooku's Pilot Droid

Owen and Beru don't have to be in this Wave, they could be in the ROTS Wave.

This is a pretty good list, although Typho still mystifies me.  Though if it's this other outfit, I'd be game.  I always liked the Naboo designs.  The red OOM-9 must be coming in those Arena Jedi sets; I hope anyway.

Very nice Obi and Soldier...  Obi's wrapping up such an important figure....  Will we get a repaint someday with burn marks for post-duel?  Will he finally work in that stupid electric trap thing that came in the one battlepack?  Lots of extras of this Obi-Wan may need purchased.

Post by: CookieeMonster on January 19, 2009, 08:45 PM
Nice figure, have no use for him, any other word on who else is going to be in this line up.

I heard Zam Wessel, now if she is in it I want her, providing she is SA.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)

He looks great.  Although I am bit worried about the super-wide leg stance there. 
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Brian on January 20, 2009, 08:49 AM
So happy to finally see the "ultimate" Obi-Wan from AOTC, a figure that's really been sorely lacking from the line so far.  The ones we've gotten from that movie - aside from maybe the comic pack one from awhile back - have really been weak.  I hope we see the TPM soon (this year?) as well, to complete the ultimate Obi-Wan lineup :).
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)

Another great wave.  The soft goods on Owen seems to work (what happened to Medical Frigate Luke?) and I'm excited to get these.  Not nearly as much as the TPM wave, though.   :)
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Ben on February 14, 2009, 10:59 PM
Is that a concept Anakin? I've never seen it before.

I like this wave. Finally, a decent Obi-Wan, and the Larses. That's great. I could have left Typho, but I'll probably get it anyway for the BAD piece.

I agree on that. He's doesn't look too much concept either as he looks like RotS Anakin to me (head/hair anyway). Plus, it's not as if they're doing a Concept line this year like they did with TAC, and if they did, it'd make more sense with the 10th Anni of Phantom Menace.

I'm thrilled with this wave. Owen and Beru! Long sought after. I'll be replacing all but one of my AOTC Obi's with this one, so multiples for me. Prolly get a couple extra Typhos to custom. The Anakin is the only MEH figure in this wave to me.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Jesse James on February 16, 2009, 04:51 PM
Good wave, but Anakin and the Lars' are a little meh to me...  I love Typho, and hope this may translate to a new Panaka and generic Royal Guard some day, and also I love Obi-Wan.  Three pretty perfect Obi's in one year's time is a great thing considering ony the ROTS figures were really done well.

I am pretty happy about getting a chance to own the Lars.  Kenobi looks good of course.  I really don't care to get a Captain Typho or Concept Anakin.  I don't even know what the B-A-D is from.  Tarados is pretty cool though.  I will undoubtedly get the Arena 2 packs to.  I guess my arena diorama will get some more figures this year!

Post by: Jesse James on February 17, 2009, 12:46 PM
I forget which BAD was in this wave, but if it's L8L9 or whatever, he's one of the characters from the original Clone Wars cartoon that was in the arena sequence that Assajj Ventress first appeared in.  He was pretty cool so I'm glad we're getting him.

If it's HK-47 he's from Knights of the Old Republic and has been asked for by fans of that game for eons now.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)

Post by: Keonobi on March 17, 2009, 03:28 PM
So on the otheR Site there were carded pics of this wave.  Does anyone know why Obi-Wan would be pictured with what looks a lot like a sawed off shotgun, or is it supposed to be like a carbine?  I can't recall Obi-Wan using a blaster in that movie, or a scene in which he carried one.  I'm thinking it should go with one of the other characters in the wave, but Owen Lars comes with his Astro-Musket, and I'm not sure Beru would be packing heat.  The Naboo trooper is the only non-repack pictured and he's got his own gun too.

Cool little gun, just not sure who it really belongs with....

That's definitely the blaster for HK-47, check out the presentation pics from Toy Fair.

I'm glad to see he's coming with the correct lightsaber.

Galactic Hunter (http://www.galactichunter.com/absolutenm/templates/full_article_template_1.asp?articleid=7889&zoneid=2) has carded/loose pics up of this entire wave, as well as the "Greatest Hits" repacks.  I have to admit, they made some good choices for the repack figures in this wave, its nice to see that Evolutions AOTC Anakin out there again, and I may pick up another Jango as well.  The inclusion of the newer Clone Pilot is welcome too.

The BAD and Obi are this wave's highlights to me, but Owen looks really nice.  I think his robes look much better in that photo than they did in other pics for some reason.  Love the fabric used.

Post by: Brian on May 21, 2009, 09:38 AM
That's something I noticed as well, Owen's robe really does look nice in these pics.  It is great to finally get Owen and Beru, but the highlight for me is the "ultimate" AOTC Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Obi-Wan is my favorite character of the prequels, and it is nice to see the character finally get some nice figures for both TPM and AOTC this year.

Thanks for the tip, I just ordered a set. A little more than I would have like to pay but I am very excited about this wave. Plus no hunting for them. I wan doubles of a few but that can wait.

HTS has had them for awhile and using a code could have got you 10% off.

Unless, HTS has sold out of them...

I think the code was spring09.

They are all still there with an "add to cart" button under them.

Except it says pre-order and that they ship 6/22.

I'm a little disappointed as I've yet to see hide nor hair of Wve 6.  There hasn't even been a repack sighting around Pittsburgh of these...  I hit stores almost daily, and not one thing on the pegs from 6...  So 7 is not even on my radar.

Right now distribution of Legacy stuff sucks balls.

I got notification from BBTS as well, nice to see these shipping.  I didn't expect them quite this soon, so it is a nice surprise.  I'm most pumped to get this Obi-Wan figure (as well as the TPM version in the next wave) - those have been some long overdue re-dos.

Like Jesse, I haven't seen anything outside of Wave 5 locally either (with the exception of a lone Cap. Needa).  I'm happy I've just been preordering sets online.  It costs slightly more, but the Legacy Collection stuff has really been scarce at retail this year for the most part.

I still have the Warehouse message.....hopefully they will ship today.

I used to buy cases from NFC but they have not updated their SW section in 6 months. So the last few waves I had to scramble to get which sucks. What I paid at for 10 figures could have bout two more under my old normal circumstance.
I have been coming across Wave 6 in Chicago & South NJ but I agree they seem a little harder to come by, even online. so paying a few more buck does not bother me so long as it's reasonable. I do not have the time or energy for the hunt.

While I really look forward to EP2 Obi something looks a little off with the figure's legs/proportions, I hope it's not like the TAC 08 Obi because I am not a fan of the retro fit SA legs they gave him. No matter what I cannot wait to build me HK-47!!!

It would be nice if this wave showed up in stores before Summer break. Though, I'm a little concerned since wave 6 only showed up at 1 Target out of 7 Targets and 3 Wal Marts in my area.

HK-droid kicks major ass.  Still haven't seen W6, and I'm not looking forward to try and track down 2 waves.  At least W7 doesn't have an army builder like the Hoth soldier, so I'll be cool w/1 of each for W7 when it hits.

An interesting wave I think.  Love the Klaatu Jedi.  It's neat we got that I think even though Jedi are fairly simple figures for Hasbro to make if they've got good base bodies.

(http://threads.rebelscum.com/photogallery/watermark.php?file=107682)
(http://threads.rebelscum.com/photogallery/watermark.php?file=107685)

It's funny when you think about it...  I for years kept wondering publicly why Hasbro didn't do a definitive sculpt of various figures, and re-use it.  The Jedi in 2002 especially, as Hasbro was sinking tons into tooling costs for these one-offs that haven't really been used much.  Imagine the investment money put into all those figures they aren't likely to ever use again, and which were dismal sellers!  When all along, one sculpt in many cases would've allowed for many different characters to be produced on a much cheaper level, requiring only minor tweaks here and there and a new headsculpt.

Hasbro seems to be on a bit more of a roll now as far as re-using a good sculpt, but man it took a long time for that to happen. :)

Wow looking at this picture I think the body under that coat would make a GREAT base for a Banniss Keeg figure. All they have to do is repaint it and throw on a new head and hands. Interesting. :)

Originally I wasn't tremendously excited about this wave but it's starting to grow on me....
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Scott on May 31, 2009, 10:38 PM
I got my figures on Friday...first thoughts...

Obi-Wan Kenobi 10 out of 10...the only gripe I have is that they did not include a robe with him.  Otherwise, he is absolutely fan ******* tastic.  I'll probably get 3-4 more of these bad boys to replace a lot of the Saga I crap on my shelves.  Looking back at alot of the Episode II stuff it just sucks the route the Hasbro team went during that movie.  Preposed action laden crap for the most part.  And yet...there isn't a whole ton left to do SA and this OWK fills a huge hole.

The Larses  I've never really cared for their scenes in the two movies but Owen's figure is again great.  Beru is nice and its nice to finally fill a couple of much needed holes on the shelf (Ep II Tatooine and the end of Ep III)

Concept Anakin  I really don't care for the figure that much and the plastic cape is very POTF2ish...meh

Captain Typho Neat figure...hopefully they can reuse for more Naboo soldiers down the road.  No holster but well articulated and I like the removable hat.  

Tarados  Another meh on my list.  I'm not one to go gaga over the Arena scene (and the ROTS temple scene) but I'm glad to add another Jedi to the ranks.  I think the idea of Weequay, Barada and Nikto Jedi is sort of stupid.  But that's the OT purist in me.

HK-47 Neat, again not high on my list of wishes since I don't generally play SW video games and I don't own a X-Box but he is well done and I know others will like him

Sooo...IMO...get as many Obi Wans as you can.  The Larses if you want to fill some shelves or scenes.  Typho is a good solid figure and so is Tarados, they just aren't that exciting for me.   The issue I see here is huge pegwarming potential that will hopefully be minimized by being the last wave of the Legacy blue cards as well as the general scaling back of production.  Otherwise the Larses and Typho could be uber plentiful until Christmas :-\ (One could also hope for a Target DCPI change too I guess with the new cards)

Oooh...and Jango is still as purple as Barney,

One other thing...Hasbro needs to go and have the guy who sculpted Obi-Wan's head give a go at Luke Skywalker.  Whoever has been in charge of him has been screwing the pooch continually forever.  At it sucks...this new OWK is eerily lifelike and nails Ewan McGregor to an absolute T

Post by: Brian on June 1, 2009, 09:28 AM
Thanks for the mini reviews Scott.  I'm supposed to be getting this wave via BBTS today, so I'm looking forward to it.  The Obi-Wan is the figure I was looking forward to the most, so I'm glad to hear that it is pretty impressive in person.  I can see your point about much of the rest of the wave being pegwarmish, maybe the last wave syndrome will help that out.

As a side note, I agree with you about the Saga I figures.  I've been going through storage bins lately, looking for things to sell or just general condensing, and man that was a low point for collecting (at least for me).  Some of the figures look nice enough (as mini statues), but the overall quality of the figures was pretty poor - especially when compared with today's offerings.

Wow!!! I just got this wave today from BBTS and I have to say this is one of the finest waves ever. While the character choices are not the most popular all were done very well. all are SA and have soft goods except the Anakin. even the repacks were good. HK-47 rules.

This is a nice change since Wave 3 & 4. The last two wave were executed very well. This wave should help rebound the Legacy line. I plan on buying many duplicates for customs, I just bought more on ebay, I love this wave.

Did I mention how much I love this wave?

I received this wave via BBTS on Monday, and got a chance to open these yesterday.  Nice wave overall, but like Scott mentioned, the Obi-Wan is the definite winner.  Just a great figure all around, and may be in the running for one of the best of the year I think.  Long overdue, and it makes me look forward to the upcoming TPM one even more.  The rest of the wave is pretty well done too I think, if not a little boring.  It will be interesting to see how they do at retail though.  Aside from the Obi-Wan, I think the Typho and Owen Lars are a couple of my favorites of the wave.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: CHEWIE on June 4, 2009, 01:10 AM
I agree, the Obi Wan is definitely the best version of him yet... really captures the character perfectly.

I do think that Owen is pretty damn well made too though... so is Beru... hell, Typho is amazing as well.  Tarado Gon would be great if the tunic area was more like Kenobi's with part of it being plastic.

Anakin is probably the biggest stinker in my opinion.  I like concept figures and all, but this one is really bland. 

Oh yeah, the HK droid is outstanding in my opinion... if you don't want your Scott, I'm interested in it.  I'd really like to have a few of these.

The only aspect of Obi I do not dig as I mentioned before are the ball jointed hips, it make the figure look a little frumpy. Definitely not a fan of that kind of articulation, it's also limiting for customs.

I want to make about 4 HK's, I have two down with some spare parts for the next two. This wave wet my appetite for new figures, starting to get excited about the line again. Once the Joe movie tanks and that line dies I will be back to 100% SW again as will many other collectors, hopefully the SW lull will be over and we have a new live action line to wait in line for at midnight.

They even sculpted the mole/pimple/mump thing above Obi's eyebrow. The Head sculpt is pretty much flawless, it really is up there. It's a shame it does not fit the Legacy Clone armor Obi with need a mod fit.

Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Nicklab on June 24, 2009, 09:26 PM
I scored this wave a couple of weeks ago.  Some quick impressions?

BD# 044 - Obi-Wan Kenobi - The best AOTC Obi-Wan ever made.  Up until now the only decent version had been from 2003/04 with the Outlander nightclub bar and NO LIGHTSABER.  This figure is a vast improvement over that version.  And it's got more articulation than we're accustomed to seeing with most Jedi, as this figure introduces ball jointed hips.  The commlink is a very nice added accessory.  The only negative?  I think this version should have included the brown robe.


BD# 045 - Beru Whitesun - A nice addition to the line, and complete with a pitcher for some tasty blue milk!  It's a good, representative sculpt.  But I would've preferred a ROTS version first, with her cradling baby Luke.


BD# 046 - Owen Lars - Well done figure.  It might have benefitted from some ball jointed ankles, but the sculpt might have made that prohibitive.  The rifle seems like an appropriate accessory.  But in this case it seems like it was added for play value and not any kind of scene accuracy.  The softgoods coat is a bit big and poofy though.


BD# 047 - Captain Typho  - An excellent rendition of Captain Typho in his dress uni.  And I think this figure is significantly better than both the pilot version of 2002 and even the Episode I Captain Panaka.  It's got appropriate levels of articulation and the sculpt is dead on.  Then there's the accessories.  The removable hat is a nice touch, as are the commlink and blaster.  Both of those will attach to Typho's belt.


BD# 048 - Anakin Skywalker - CONCEPT ART FIGURE  - This isn't the concept Anakin Skywalker that I would have preferred to have been offered.  But the artwork that inspired this version does strike a balance between the Anakin of the prequels and Vader.  Not a big fan of the molded cloak though.


BD# 049 - Tarados Gon  - A cool addition to the ranks of the Jedi who fought in the Geonosis arena.  Tarados Gon is what I think should be the standard in Jedi figures.  Well articulated all the way around, featuring the softgoods skirt, and decently sculpted.  But lacking the softgoods robe.  IMO that should be a standard feature for Jedi figures.


BAF - HK-47 - Knights Of The Old Republic - This is definitely one of the more unique BAF droids to come out in the Droid Factory series.  HK-47 has a reasonable ammount of articulation.  And for the first time we've got a BAF droid that comes with a weapon!  That one is packed with the droid's head.  The only picking point I have is that the figure is more red than the rusty appearance it has in the KOTOR game.

I agree Nick, and thanks for the review.  My current workaround for this is to usesome robes from my ANH Obi-Wan that did not need them in certain scenes I set them up in (like the Millenium Falcon scenes) and put those on my AOTC Obi-Wans...when they get here.

Mine too.  I picked up Typho, Anakin & Obi-Wan yesterday at Target.  Typho is definitely my favorite out of this wave.  AOTC Owen & Beru are pretty boring figures.  Emo Anakin is cool, I guess.  Obi-Wan is awesome, but Typho was just all around nicely done.

Am I the only one taking points off for Typho being about 3/4" too short?

Stand him next to any regular sized figure.  The legs and torso are both way too short, but especially the legs, and it makes the figure look terrible next to the other ones.

It would have been good other than that, but now it's basically ruined.  I was going to do a bunch of head swaps and make some Naboo troops, but oh well.

It is a bummer, but in terms of the sculpt, it really is top notch.  I guess it's the same scenario as 2-1B.  I put Typho on a figure stand to add some height.

I never in a million years would have caught that, but he is 6' 1" after all. However, it's not like he's Chewie or Leia.  Fraction of a point off on the anal retentive critics list, but still, an excellent figure.

Post by: Matt_Fury on July 10, 2009, 10:00 PM
Just got my shipment from HTS and I really like these figures!  Quick run down:

Obi-Wan:  Best AOTC Obi-Wan made.  My only gripe is I wish he came with an unlit saber (love the comlink though) and a Jedi Robe.  Luckily, I have enough robes from other figures that I can swap them out.

Tarados Gon:  Nice addition to my Jedi.  Probably should be the generic Jedi body from now on.  Just wish he too came with a robe, but since he's sort of scene specific I guess it's a pass.

Captain Typho:  Well done figure, but I now see the gripe about the size.  Fits well in my Naboo Assult Squad though...I just put him in the speeder.

Aunt Beru:  Well done figure overall....I really only purchased for the BAD part.

Uncle Owen:  See Aunt Beru.  Also, for customizers he has a nice generic body type.

HK-47:  Best BAD yet!  Can't wait to get the Anakin so I can complete him and have him out terminating meatbags!

I managed to get the wave, and some extras for customizing, and I'd like another HK-47 or two if I can manage building them.  Army builders welcome, but really any repack is at this stage just out of something different.

BTW Obi-Wan may be my favorite Jedi figure ever.  It's incredible.

And HK is without a doubt my favorite BAD figure.  Incredible.

Hoth Rebel Trooper comes with the Right arm - I just picked this up today along with AOTC Obi-Wan and Owen/Beru. I agree with Jesse, Obi-Wan is the best Jedi figure ever without a doubt and also the best Obi-Wan figure ever, the detailing is just so superb.

It's more than a little disconcerting that out of the eight Targets in my immediate area, only one has received any new basic figures in at least three months. Wal Mart has be continually re-stocking with wave five. I feel lucky to have gotten this wave in a store.

That's the exact same scenario here.  WM just keeps reloading wave 5, Target gets a case maybe once a month.  I went with HTS for these last couple waves, and I'm glad I did.

The figures were produced in the usual numbers, they are going to show up eventually.

The only time I have ever seen them not show up in great numbers was that last EI wave with Ascension gun Padme and Sio Bibble.  Not sure where they wound up.

Before that there was POTF2 Death Star Commando and Ree Yees.  They showed up online.

But for the last 10 years I have not missed a figure at retail.  In my area, so far only 1 Walmart has stocked Waves 6 and 7 with regularity.  But a couple years ago with that TSC Appo wave, it literally showed up en masse like 4 months after it's release, concurrent with 30 AC.

Just wait it out, you'll get all your stuff.

Sir Steve's Guide Hasbro Q&A (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/index.php?categoryid=13&p2_articleid=1934)

QUESTION:  As the first generation of TLC and Clone Wars packaging nears the end of its run, we are noticing smaller amounts of new waves hitting local stores, and odd case assortments in those waves and their revisions. The ESB wave seems to be trickling in very slowly, with many collectors not having seen it "in the wild". The AOTC wave has appeared online, but still not in stores as of June. Clone Wars wave 5 has appeared in short supply and with a case assortment that still only includes 1 of each new figure, padding shelves with existing figures that aren't in short supply and don't seem to need significant restocking, while ensuring new figures get choked out, and it seems to be continuing for the next few CW and TLC waves (we understand the Hasbro argument about not having enough new product manufacturing volume for a wave, but there seem to be less revisions to address that, and more figures not moving fast enough to make way). While we understand that there is always a retailer reset of the lines with new packaging, a holding of the breath, it seems like this year it's been a longer-term problem and many collectors are growing frustrated with the scarcity of newer figures. Are there other reasons behind the lack of new figures on shelves, is there a remedy for it before the new packaging comes in?

ANSWER:  Clone Wars continues to be a monstrous hit with kids, necessitating waves with only 1/case of the new figures and constant repacks of the "greatest hits" to ensure that the most popular characters remain in rotation. The problem has been with Legacy; with sales not where we were expecting them, the new waves are having a harder time getting in to retail since there is still a good amount of previous waves on the shelves. However, there here should be plenty of EpV to go around by now. The challenge will be with the EpII wave - we cut back production on this one and it will be the scarcest of all the Legacy waves, and we needed to give new production over to the red/white waves to make sure they get in to retail approximately late August/early Sept. If folks want to be sure they can get the complete EpII wave, we recommend one of the Internet-based suppliers as they are able to order product directly from us by the specific wave, whereas the brick and mortar retailers do not have that precision and there is no telling which stores will get it. Just as an FYI - there is no hard planogram reset date this year for Star Wars, so the new red/white packaging will flow in right after the previous waves have gone through retail, and will not be the same for all retailers depending upon stock.

That's the exact same scenario here.  WM just keeps reloading wave 5, Target gets a case maybe once a month.

My local Target hasn't gotten a single case of Legacy figures since before Christmas.  Seriously.  Saga Legends gets stocked about once a week, Clone Wars maybe once every two weeks (up until recently), and there hasn't been any new Legacy stuff since mid-December when wave 4 hit.  All they have at this point are about 10 each of Breha Organa, Yarna, Stass Allie, and 3 Bails.  Quite sad and/or irritating.

One of the two local WMs got in two cases of the wave 7 revision 1 case earlier this week (a friend had gotten a case with 2 of each new figure and split them with me in June from EE; thanks Dave!), and when I went in today, most of the figures were gone.  Astoundingly (to me, at least), there was still one of each of the 6 new figures, but no ARCs or Jangos.  Weird.

Two questions:

1.  Is the "new" Hoth Rebel Trooper shipping in the blue/white line look, or are they saving Mr. Clean Shaved HRS for a later wave in the red/white line look?

2.  Will the red/white TLC line carry the same SKU as the current blue/white TLC line (thus ensuring that the pegs full of Yarna, Breha, and Stass Allie will further prevent new figures from being ordered) or will the current blue/white TLC SKU be phased out soon?

While I don't doubt that they are telling the truth about this wave being produced in less numbers, I don't think that makes it especially limited.  If you think of the tons and tons of previous waves we've seen out there, I think the reality is that this one was made in large numbers but just not as much as past waves.

Well I guess I temporarily take back what I said about Wave 7 for the moment, although I'll believe it when I see it.  Most of those were all new molds, and when Hasbro makes a new mold, Hasbro is gonna use a new mold till the cows come home.  They're not going to take a bath on it.  If they don't turn up in a couple months, they'll be issued again eventually.

Thanks for the breakdown of repacks.

Unfortunately for me, Wave 6 is actually the scarcest one here.  Which, of course, has the Hoth Rebel in it.  Go figure.

The Wave 7 figures have now hit several WM stores, but Target's not ordering jack and or squat.  Target gets nothing new, ever.  WM it's hit and miss, as WM is.

I've seen this wave at 4 different stores though as of this weekend.  Better than Wave 6, by far.  ::)

The second HRT and Ugnaught will show up in the new line look and the new line shares the same SKU as the Blue/White packaging as all three lines assortment numbers (TLC - 87535, SL - 87995 & CW - 87638) carry forward.

You and me both, brotha. I have two Targets in my area, one that opened in March. The only difference between the two is that the new Target has the exclusive remote droids, a few Rancors and pegs full of wave 4/5. The older Target hasn't restocked any toys since Christmas. I really need to take a picture of the toy aisles the next time I'm there, the entire toy section is as bare as when they removed all the SW toys last year in preparation of the Clone Wars launch.

Wal-Mart however has been rocking it. I can usually find all the new figures late at night but I know some people don't have that "luxury". That's how I scored my AOTC wave, but I'm sure we'll see a little more of it before the red/white packaging hits. I know the stores can't go two months with only Legends and Organas and Yarnas on the pegs.

It's ironic that I've seen Wave 7 a bit now, and I've seen Wave 6 only once...  Sad.  And by "a bit", I mean I've seen Wave 7 at 4 different stores, but I've yet to see the Anakin.

Still, I saw Wave 6 only once in its entirety.  It's still rare around these parts, and I never had a snowball's chance at a silver BAD figure.   :-\

Wave 7 contains a Hoth Rebel as well. I'm in the same boat, I've seen Wave 7 in relative abundance now 4 different times, but the only evidence of Wave 6 has been the repacks from previous waves. This would seem to contradict the idea of Wave 7 being scarcer than Wave 6 - but time will tell.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Jesse James on July 13, 2009, 06:42 PM
Yeah I got a couple Rebel repacks, but usually they, Jango, and one other repack are gone with the Concept Anakin.  All the other Wave 7 figures are around, which implies to me a possible scalper since most of the repacks are around with most of the more abundant figures of the wave.  Concept Anakin is always long gone. :)

Fortunately I got his part with the repack so no biggie there, just an observation I've made of late since I have found these.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Ben on July 15, 2009, 01:19 PM
Yeah, wave 6 is nowhere to be found. I still lack the silver BAD piece from the Hoth Soldier (though I do have an extra HK-47 right arm to trade for it!) and I never saw the Emperor anywhere.

I did find wave 7 this last weekend out-of-town, and now I wish I would have bought the whole wave. At least I got Obi-Wan and Concept Anakin.
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)

We've seen virtually none of Wave 6 and none of wave 7 around here locally as well.  At one time I saw one Captain Needa on the pegs at Target, but otherwise I haven't seen a single figure from either of those waves at retail.  If it wasn't for the combination of BBTS and HTS, I'd still be looking at nothing but Wave 5 figures.

Yes, Hasbro said in the Q&A they cut production for Wave 7 because of the "end of the line" excuse:

Bought the AOTC Obi-Wan the other day.  Thought it was odd that it was the only figure (new or repack) from that wave that was on the shelf...  It was buried in the back, and sounds like that might be a lucky find for me if this wave is going to be as scarce as they say.  (Why not do a production run comparable in size to the prior and subsequent waves and divide the run between the two card designs?)

I was lucky and found this wave sans Concept Anakin. I wanted extras of each of these anyway, so it works out for me. Though I need the right arm of HK-47 to complete that droid. If anyone has an extra or is getting the Concept Anakin and doesn't need/want that part, let me know.

Also, is that part being included with any other figure? I see on the cardback that Jango, ARC Pilot, ARC trooper and another fig are listed as part of the wave. Do any of those four include the piece I need?

Wow, what a collossal **** up on Hasbro's part.  They haven't done the Hoth Rebel soldier right, ever, and when they finally have done a good figure it's going to be rare?

WTF?

I hate to jump onto the "Hasblow" bandwagon, but they earned the name this time.  It's also ironic how they're not carrying this figure forward in the new line.  There's honestly no reason they couldn't.  They remix how much **** into the line all the time?  They seriously cut back on this one?

Really pathetic to me.

Looks like I'll be lucky to get one figure, much less 40.  I'm not going to be spending a lot on these though.  Basic retail or bust.  I'll get two and cast hats.

For Christ's sake, I CANNOT FIND THE BEARDED one.  Hasbro's dropped the ball on every rebel trooper they've ever tried, in some capacity.  They've done so again.

The figure is so fantastic, they're now not going to give you a good chance to get him!  That makes about as much sense as half the **** they repackage/reship that never moves.  ::)

Sorry Jesse, if I'd realized this earlier I could have grabbed you one.  I went to the Wal-mart near the airport today and they've had all of wave 6 sitting around for weeks.  They had at least 6 of them.  As it stands, I doubt I'll be back out there again before Thursday when the truck comes.  I'll keep an eye out though if you want.

I'ts not a problem Rob, I found a handful of them.  Nowhere near the total I wanted to acrue, but then again I was kind of relying on Hasbro to get them out there...  Wave 6 is dismally rare around Pittsburgh, still. Rarer than even Wave 7.  Go figure?

Most of the ones I found were Wave 7 repacks actually.

Truly though, the anger I have is all pointed at Hasbro.  It's in their power to make the figure(s) available, especially the clean shaven Trooper who I think we're all wishing we could find relatively easily.  Like I said, every Rebel Soldier ever has been screwed up in some capacity...  The last Endor Trooper's arms sucked, the last Hoth Soldier was short and unarticulated...  Now they get one  truly perfect (to me anyway), and they make it actually a rare figure! 

It's mind-boggling.  Nothing short of that.

They did do the Yavin Guard right I guess...  Mostly.  Still, that was a figure I didn't see many of on store shelves.  Got mine at Hasbro's store.

This is probably the lamest news out of them for a while though.

Woah. That stinks. I too am confident that he will be released in better quantities down the road, but am glad that I don't care about a carded version any more. I even asked one of the Hasbro people about this one since he wasn't displayed and he said that he "should" be coming on the red cards. I probably asked someone who didn't know for sure.

This does stink.  Like Jesse said, they finally do a Hoth Rebel Soldier up right, and they make it (particularly the more "neutral" one) tough to find.  I picked up several of the bearded one online, but held off going to crazy thinking I'd want more of the 2nd version.  Hopefully it isn't as tough to get as they are thinking, or it gets repacked down the road.  Like it was mentioned, why can't they just cycle this back into the '09 line somewhere else.  Heck, it would fit right in with the Luke Snowspeeder ESB wave coming towards the end of the year.

Not that I'm aware JOT, but according to Hasbro I guess it would happen soon since they're saying the AOTC wave and all that crap.

I'm really actually hopeful he does make it in as a repack, but that didn't sound likely.  Why?  No F'n clue on my part, as it's the kind of thing they have within their grasp.  I know that's a Legends figure I'd plunk cash down on in a heartbeat.  God knows I've got a ton of Snowtroopers waiting on someone to kill that isn't 3 inches shorter or taller than they are.

I'm hopeful for a repack too, someday, but it pisses me off that they did this thing right finally, and now they're going to screwjob it by making it "rare".

The bearded guy is RARE here, so now a figure I wanted 40 of (the clean shaven dude) is down to hoping I can snag 2 total.  That sucks.  Probably the worst news out of SDCC as far as I'm concerned.

Well, it was certainly compounded by the absurd price people are saying the new WM 2packs are running.  Double the price of something that went on clearance last year?  Where's the business logic in that?  Holy geeze, that's dumb stuff.

It doesn't make sense that they include him in wave 7 yet not the second Ughnaught... though I'd prefer both get a fair chance at being found than not.  :-\ Here I thought I was done checking for TLC blues.

I agree, as someone who DID buy the Wave 7 revision case, it doesn't have the beardless Hoth Rebel in it.  It's the bearded one.  It's not in there.  Hasbro may be in error here, because as the proud owner of this case-- and others have it too-- I can assure you there's no clean-shaven troopers out there in it.

Hasbro are a great bunch of guys, but when it comes to product changes, mistakes are made-- I believe they may have been confused on this one.  I still expect it on red cards.  Or, like with the Imperial Officer and Rebel Trooper POTJ variants (delayed until Saga 2003), these might just come a year or more late.

Yeah, I think there's some confusion on Hasbro's side as well. The original plan was for both the clean shaven HRS and the 2nd Ugnaught to be in the AOTC wave. Obviously both got bumped. The 2nd Ugnaught seems to be for sure showing up in a later wave, it shouldn't be hard for the other HRS to show up either. Panic over the 2nd HRS guy should be refrained, Hasbro's been proven too on top of it in recent years to stiff us on a particular figure. Look at the Stormtrooper commander.

Well dangit.  The figure that got me back into collecting will be the reason I abandon collecting for GI Joe. 

This is the POTF2 Death Star Trooper all over again.  Shame really.  I would have built an army of those things.

I think we're going to see the Hoth Rebel in spades down the line.  They made the investment in the new molds, they'll beat it to death eventually.

This is what I'm hoping for.

I wanted maybe 5-10 of the clean shaven one. Rolls eyes.

The conversation I had with Derryl DePriest about this seemed to indicate that they hadn't slotted the figure elsewhere at all.  At least when I spoke with him at SDCC. 

I think Hasbro will make the effort to get the figure out there at some point.  But it may take a while.  I think the logical place for the clean shaven trooper might be in a battle pack.  Especially since it looks like we're in store for a lot of TESB offerings next year for the 30th anniversary of TESB.

But for the time being it's going to be a scarce figure.  I can't say that I've seen a single post in any of the forums where someone had the running change in hand for photos.  Even Brian Semling of Brian's Toys told me he hasn't seen the running change yet, and that was on sunday.

I received the Concept Anakin (worst figure of the bunch, but not terrible) and was able to complete the HK-47 figure (the reason I got more than just the Obi-Wan from this wave).

The HK-47 is a great figure, but the weapon is kind of odd...no real way for the figure to hold it.  I might go through my weapons stash and see if there's a better rifle for him.

Which is odd since they designed the figure along with the two variants of the Ughnaught, and presented said figure. They could easily pack it in a different wave instead of Clone Trooper A, Anakin, etc. that are fillers.

I think the logical place for the clean shaven trooper might be in a battle pack. 

It could show up there, but I hope it shows up as a carded figure so I don't have to be 2 repack figures to get him.

As someone who both both the regular AOTC Wave 7 case AND the Wave 7 Revision case just to ensure that I would get all of the remaining numbered Legacy Collection Blue/White figures to add to my MOC collection - this news out of Comic Con REALLY pisses me off.

My local WalMarts have already gotten this wave in - the one nearest me got in four cases of the Wave 7 Revision 1 mix - they aren't going to get any more of this wave. Our local TRUs gave up on the Legacy Collection with the ANH wave and our local Targets gave up on the Legacy Collection with the ROTS wave.

So until I see one of these clean shaven HRS show up on eBay in the Blue/White packaging, I'm going to hope that Darryl DeRetard (sorry, I'm sure he's a "great" guy, but moves like this show how he DOESN'T get or care about the collectors of the line) was just talking out of his ass when he gave Nick this info.

Dealing with factories in China-- and this is something that I've had a little experience with-- can be difficult when it comes to communication.  When it comes to running changes and variations that's where the communication ball gets dropped the most.  Particularly when it comes to the factories not getting the "use this mold with this deco" memo right-- it happens a lot, particularly in the Saga Legends wave, the IG-88 vintage figure's blaster holster, and that new Chewbacca come to mind. 

The original plan in 2000/2001 was to get variant head Imp Officers and Rebel Troopers in POTJ packaging, and they didn't hit until early 2003.  Things happen.  With no clean-shaven Rebel Troopers existing in official Hasbro photography, I'd be willing to actually bet money on the fact that it simply isn't coming on blue cards, period.  Maybe we'll see it in 2010 in whatever comes after red card Legacy, or if we're really lucky, some Battle Pack with multiple variants.

...or maybe in some future Order 66-esque trooper 2-packs... that'd be swell.

As someone who both both the regular AOTC Wave 7 case AND the Wave 7 Revision case just to ensure that I would get all of the remaining numbered Legacy Collection Blue/White figures to add to my MOC collection - this news out of Comic Con REALLY pisses me off.

I got both cases too, and that's why I'm happy it doesn't actually exist yet.  If it doesn't exist it's not like you missed out on something.  If it did exist, well, then yeah I'd get pissy, particularly since the trooper is such a nicely made design.  (I'd probably buy more beardoes if I could find 'em.)

Count me in on wanting a new SA Zam Wessel. She's way overdue.


2009 Wave 7 of TLC could have done with a Zam Wesell. Everyone's favorite Clawdite needs a resculpt....with a few accessories. A new Boba Fett would have been nice as well ... why did the 2002 Saga release include Jango's helmet, jet pack, and blasters? Psychotic kid with guns ... kinda freaky.  :o Beru and Owen surely could have been released later on. With the demand for the OT Owen and Beru, the PT releases could have waited for a later wave.

I don't know...to me, Beru and Lars are the two most interesting figures in this bunch
Title: Re: Legacy Wave 7 - Attack of the Clones (Spring 2009)
Post by: Jesse James on August 12, 2009, 02:47 AM
I give it to Obi-Wan, and Typho (who makes a nice army builder).  Obi though is the showstopper.  OUtstandingly realistic sculpt, and above-par articulation. 

Owen and Beru are nice to have, but not the most interesting...  I think they're both executed perfectly though.  I love Owen's terry towl robe too. 

The wave in general is pretty great, and other than Beru/Owen, it's become fairly scarce here.  I really felt it was one of the better balanced with figure types in it though.  Some obscurity, some new stuff, some much-needed resculpt...  The BAD was, thus far, my favorite droid to build as well.

It's worded a bit strange, but this answer from YakFace's Q&A (http://) sure makes it sounds like the "yeah, the factory screwed up" answer that we've been expecting to see when it comes to the Hoth Rebel #2:

This is under the assumption that the factory will not forget to switch over to the new head for the new wave - these instructions were obviously ignored during the Hoth Rebel Trooper run and the results were unfortunately bad. To compound it, we did not catch it until after the (already short) run was over. We can confirm that we are looking at ways of ensuring the Hoth figure gets released again next year.

I guess I can stop looking for him now...  :P  I'll out down my guess that he turns up in that rumored TaunTaun Battle Pack that is already being teased for next year.

I could see him getting mixed into the basic line too, I hope.  It wouldn't be tough...  Just a carry-forward figure like they've done with tons of others in the basic line.

AOTC wave's come and gone here by the way.  Remnants at some stores, but overall these came and sold out quickly.  Wave 6's pretty much still a rarity too, though an odd "dingleberry" hangs on, usually Leia or Luke, from the wave.  Needa, Hoth Trooper, Ugnaught, etc. are gone though.

This wave really was a hit & run at retail. I hope to find more Beru's before this wave completely disappears, she is great custom fodder! I would also like to pick up a few more Tarados Gon's too. Like a few others I have been seeing the ESB wave resurface more than this wave, still no sign of the beardless rebel. Also of note is that in all of the resurfaced ESB wave that I have come across is that they all still have the campaign color U-3P0 parts. I thought the silver was going to be more common but it actually is the harder to get of the two.

Champagne's the change they made to the silver so I knew not to expect silver, but I actually never saw a single silver part at all.  All champagne here.  I still need a head if anyone has one handy.   ???  Got a complete droid here without his noggin'.

I'd love silver legs/arms as well, to go with another figure I have.

Might as well stop looking as it doesn't exist. Hasbro fessed up (http://www.yakfaceforums.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=4763) to this during the QnA last week.

Factory miscommunications are really easy, so I'm learning with my own foreign communications, and so I can't blame Hasbro there.  I just hope they get us the shaven Rebel in quantity out on the new cards, even if it's next year or 2011 even.  I'd take that just knowing we were going to get to stock up on that guy.

I've accumulated a lot of bearded ones now, I'll headswap of course and maybe alter some decorations or change their "skirt" out with some longer cloth and stuff, but the rifles will be tough to replace, and the helmet's will basically all look the same.

I'm tempted to add some cloth scarves to the helmets though, to give some diversity.  I've already added some Vintage Hoth Han hats, and they look great, but rifles are tough to replace since that gun sucked when it originally came out (uber flimsy), and subsequent more rigid casts of it are not something I have many extra of.

I'm also pondering moveing some POTF2 and the Saga headsculpt over to the new body, for more diversity as well.

Post by: Jesse James on August 24, 2009, 05:12 PM
I'm betting no, but I'll check right now.

Yeah, they don't.  Their socket is bigger than the HRT's peg.  I may take an extra of the white guy's head and fill the socket in with epoxy and hollow it out to the right peg size for the HRT though.  The headset wire hanging down would look cool I think, if he were in a turret or something, like he has special communication stuff.

There's some unique packs too, that would be nice to make for them, as some seem to have a cylinder on their backs of some sort, for some reason.

Here are two heads that fit perfectly that do not require any work: Tycho Celchu and TFU Starkiller hero. Also if you have the TAC Hoth Han or Pharl McQuarrie hoods they fit nice and give a different look to your troopers.

To add to the list of "Who's Head Will Fit on the HRS Body?", I found that a Spacetrooper head (Joe Johnston) will fit on the peg perfectly, and vice versa.  So, if you're army building both, you can get a little bit of diversity going on, and get a clean shaven HRS to boot. :)

Also the Yavin Technician fits, and I think, some of the Rebel Pilots from the Evolutions may fit as well.  Also the Yavin IV Honor Guard fits perfectly, as does the McQuarrie Concept Rebel Trooper.  Both fairly generic headsculpts.

I've made a few trips to Target recently, and I've actually found this wave still lingering.  ??? Wow. Considering what Hasbro said about it being under-produced, it's still here in few numbers. The Obi-Wan keeps popping out randomly, and the Larses, of course, are still around.  ::) I've only seen Concept Anakin once.
