I'm (nearly) all in on Star Wars 6" figures but have virtually no interest in The Rancor.  Maybe if there were a pile of figures that were packed in (Maliki, Oola, etc.) I might consider it, but its too big and too expensive.

I didn't even realize that HasLab was running a Proton Pack kickstarter.  Pretty cool, but spendy, plus no wand??  And it appears there isn't a classic wand available either.  I own no Ghostbusters stuff but am much more interested in getting this proton pack than The Rancor.

After the choice of The Rancor by HasLab I have no ability to handicap their next choice.  This just seems dumb...  I'm torn on if I want it to succeed or not.  I'd like it to be successful for those in the collector community that want it, but I also want it to fail so that they might stay focused on 3.75" items as those have been very successful.

And just got a shipping notice for crosshair. 

I never managed to get Rex preordered so I’m hoping those make it to retail or back to the web soon.

Not sure where to put this one...

It appears Target has gone full on Amazon with its fulfillment in some ways.

I ordered stuff from Target.com the other day and it was just delivered by a random dude in an SUV.  It looks to have gone from a distribution center in Indianapolis to my place in the Minneapolis area, and appears to have never left the Target ecosystem.  There are no USPS, UPS, FedEx or other labels - it appears to be a Target only internal label and tracking ID.

I'm not sure what that means for us collectors, but maybe that efficiency and control of their own delivery ecosystem will mean better delivery, more availability, and lower cost of things like the Rogue One X-Wing.

Maybe this has been going on for awhile, but I believe this is the first time that I've received something from Target that didn't go through a third party delivery system.

This just showed up on my doorstep today.  Amazon just slapped a sticker on the outside of a Hasbro box that perfectly fits the 6" black figure box.

Mine was in great condition, but Amazon stuff usually comes without much damage (if it's delivered by Amazon).

What makes the Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper different than a normal Sandtrooper?  Looks to be the same figure, but he is packaged with a backpack and baton?  Is that it?

Thanks for posting Jeff.

Did they state when these would be available for pre-order, or were these just "pipeline reveals" for some future pre-order yet to be announced?

Pulse is only $7 shipping.  Much more reasonable, although we'll probably have to wait longer for fulfillment.
