Title: 2020 TVC Wave 3 (aka New TVC Wave 13)
Post by: Jeff on February 22, 2020, 05:47 PM
Not 100% sure, but I believe these waves will be coming after the Summer repack waves (formerly called 2020 Waves 2 and 3).  Good chance the Wave # order will be moved around as we get closer to Fall...

Here is the case pack from Entertainment Earth (https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/HSE7763A?id=JE-405087801)

2x Redacted
1x Episode 4 Vin Power Droid
3x Redacted
2x Redacted

More details to come later this Spring.  Sure hope whatever is coming at 3x per case is worth it to justify short-packing the Power Droid.

This case assortment doesn't make sense. 1 new figure, then multiples of repacks? I'm sure it will be revised like you said.

The "redacted" will be some combo of repacks and the ones Jayson has already teased.

Since Jedi Luke is not in the wave, there's a good chance the Stormtrooper Luke is in this one.  That leaves two spots for Chirrut or TCW Trooper or Hondo or whatever else they saved to reveal at the Spring/Summer conventions.

I'm sure Jayson will have the waves all figured out before whatever convention is planned to reveal them. (https://jedidefender.com/jsmentek/lol.gif)

Yeah that’s a really nice looking improvement to the power droid.
Title: Re: 2020 TVC Wave 4 (aka New TVC Wave 14)
Post by: Jesse James on February 23, 2020, 12:56 AM
Minimal effort and a new figure = fine by me.  Plus I know Scott can finally x that one off the list and rightfully so.

Now I truly push for a true blue Death Star (Squad) Trooper.  Grey suit, tunic with the front zipper design, headset under the helmet.   ;D

Post by: Jedi Idej on February 23, 2020, 05:53 PM
I'm a fan of gonk droids. The removable upper half makes it a worthy figure on it's own and and not an overpriced accessory. A definite buy.

added: Hmm. Totally forgot we already had the bottom half produced. I buy color variations of astromechs, so a modified upper half on this still makes it a plus in my book.
 
(And I'd love to see the battlebot droid from Solo and the 4-legged power droid from the movie I can't recall at the moment.)

Well, that was sure faster than I was expecting!  Rumored case contents from Jayson/Yakface (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2020/02/23/rumor-report-tvc-mystery-figures/):

Power Droid (ANH)
Airborne Trooper (ROTS)
Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper Disguise)
K-2SO (Rogue One)

Will be interesting to see which one is the 3x per case...

There's no way it isn't the Luke at 3 per, right?

I’m really glad to see K-2SO on this list.  And that Rogue One seems to be getting some more acknowledgment as a solid SW movie.

Sure, but how about Merrick, Draven, Mon Mothma... that big mind reading slug, a Saw improvement, a better Galen Erso...  get the Stormtrooper back into circulation for repacks.

K-2SO was already pretty good.

Post by: Matt_Fury on February 24, 2020, 10:12 AM
I'll probably get a bunch of the K-2S0.  One for the Rogue One squad and a few to put with the rest of my Imperials.

Power Droid (ANH)
Airborne Trooper (ROTS)
Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper Disguise)
K-2SO (Rogue One)


Okay. Cool. It's nearly an army building case. Will definitely pick up a few K-2SO's. I can see the actual case breakdown being 2 per, but who knows?

Do we have any idea of the Airborne Trooper and Luke Stormtrooper are new or repacks?

Stormtrooper Luke should be the one from the SDCC 3-pack based on comments from Hasbro (plans for all three Luke figures from the set made available on TVC cards).

Airborne Trooper = no idea yet
Title: Re: 2020 TVC Wave 4 (aka New TVC Wave 14)
Post by: Nicklab on February 24, 2020, 05:36 PM
Hasbro definitely seems intent on making the most of the tooling for the new versions of Luke that were in the SDCC exclusive 3-pack.  But you would think that maybe they would space these releases out. 
Title: Re: 2020 TVC Wave 4 (aka New TVC Wave 14)
Post by: Darth_Anton on February 25, 2020, 11:50 AM
I agree, but mainly because I hate the tooling used for the 3-pack Stormtrooper Luke. It needs to be retired. *Broken record* The RO Stormtrooper tooling is the only Stormtrooper tooling that should be used from here on out.

Maybe that tooling needs a few mods? Some people are a little short for a stormtrooper.

I’m torn since I think the one from Legacy was a tad better and had a removable com link (still holding the record as tiniest accessory ever, I think?)

What a weird assortment to tweak! Granted, I have no use for clones, but this should have been a straight 2 of each.

 I did it over the weekend. I usually shoot everything twice because the fist pass is usually kind of rubbish, lol!. Given better equipment, I can make it much cleaner/sharper, but at his point I do it all with my iPhone.

Great review and very well done on the video!  I was impressed with the camera movement where you tilted up to show K-2SO’s full height.  And breaking out of the blister?  A very cool added touch.

Just wanted to echo the sentiments of everyone else here - great job on the review video Anthony. It was nice to see that with my four open K2SOs (and my hope to score at least two more) there is someone else out there grabbing multiples like me.  ;D
