First Order TIE Pilot, courtesy of Yakface. Note that this FO TIE Pilot does not have the same deco as the FO Elite TIE Pilot that comes with the 6" TIE (as was rumored to be the case at SDCC):

But is it the same TIE Pilot that we'll get in the EE Excluisve 4pk?

I'm so glad that Finn is in this wave again along with Kylo Ren and Stormtrooper. At least the last two will likely sell, but Finn (in my opinion) is just plain boring with that outfit. If they had included the lightsaber that is hinted on Instagram (I believe), it might do better.

Scored the First Order TIE Pilot this morning at the Toys R Us near where I work. Nice figure, have no plans on getting the 6" scale TIE Fighter so just getting this will have to do...

Any idea how different he is from the pack in? Nice score!

I found this whole wave at Walgreens over lunch today. ;D They were on an endcap SW display up front, not in the regular toy aisle. Still no sign of their exclusive Vader figure. #Fail

Is this TIE Pilot significantly different from the OT one released a year ago?
-
Yes, it is TFA deco and the helmets are different

Started a longer post on this last night but I guess I never finished it so here s a more succinct version. Having read reports about the Rey and Kylo in this wave being "upgraded" versions compared to their previous releases, I bought one of each yesterday to compare. I didn't see much difference in Rey frankly, the lipstick paint apps are slightly lighter and more delicately applied, but that's about it that I can tell. I like the newer version but I don't really regard that as a legit variant, just a subtle tweak.
Kylo however, has some pretty notable differences from the first version. They added a red wire painted on his lightsaber hilt which was not on my original version, and the texture on his cowl is completely different from the original one. Hard to describe without seeing it but it has a sort of "gooseflesh" texture where the first time around it was much smoother like a crumpled towel. I think they also slightly changed the cut or length of his robes too.
I decided to hold on to the extra Kylo since the changes are fairly significant in my mind and I like having both. :)

Just out of curiosity, what are your plans for the 6" Rey? ;)

Not sure, probably gonna keep her now too because I realized last night they updated BB-8 too with a new wash that much more clearly defines his various sections. Would you be interested in just the Rey figure?

I actually found her in a Wave 3 case on my way home from work last Friday, so I'm good now, but yeah, I would have wanted BB-8 too...
Having the Poe from the Target 2-pack has me really wanting to at least grab the heroes from TFA as well. So basically Finn, Rey, BB-8, Poe, Chewie & Han. If they release Leia and/or Maz, then I'll get them as well. I'm still on the fence when it comes to the Guavian Enforcer, Constable Zuvio and Asty...
