I was going to grab the case form EE but it looks to be Sold Out already. Maybe it will go live again in 30 minutes?

Aside from being able to reuse the body for Porkins, I feel like we will have an inevitable Carson Teva re-release w/o his coat, maybe as the pack-in w/ his X-Wing. It is kind of odd that they didn't pick a cardfront image depicting him actually wearing the coat.

edit - Amazon is showing $24.99 prices on these for some reason; $18.99 at EE.

I went ahead and pre-ordered from Amazon - hoping they catch the pricing error and the price drop should be caught by the Amazon pre-order price guarantee...  if not, I'll cancel those pre-orders this summer.

Yeah, looks like this case is pre-orderable again...

I can’t get Pulse to work.  Every time I try to submit payment info it takes me back up to the CVV line but it’s already entered correctly.

Are we dealing with "Dynamic Pricing" with the $24.99 price at Amazon?  Or was there a major error here?
Title: Re: 2025 TVC Wave 4 (New TVC Wave 43)
Post by: Rob on March 26, 2025, 01:42 PM
It had better be an error if they expect to sell any.  That ain’t tariff-level increases.

I managed to get Pulse working but that was very obnoxious.

I wasn't able to get my order to process on Hasbro Pulse using my laptop.  But I was able to finalize the order using the Hasbro Pulse app.

It sounds like Amazon messed up and put all today's pre-orders at $25.  Obviously too high for TVC but technically a good deal for the DLX BS6" SM-33 which should be $33.

Funny because I’m out on a lunch walk and the app wouldn’t work for me, but the web browser did.

Amazon has adjusted them all back down to $16.99 each...   they have not lowered my pre-orders yet though, but I'll give them a day or two to figure that out before I cancel and re-order.

Awesome.  I went ahead and canceled and re-ordered just so I don't have to think about it anymore. :)

Didn't even need to re-order.  Amazon has adjusted the prices.  Thanks for the links Jeff!

Same, checked this morning and all my pre-orders were adjusted down to $17 price as well.  Glad not to have to bother cancelling and re-ordering.

Just had Amazon update my delivery estimate to September 3rd. I'm not terribly upset about it.
Thought it was a little strange that this wave and VC 367-371 were all scheduled for August 4th.
I would not want to be the Hasbro employee trying to coordinate the supply chain right now. Think we should send them a gift basket?

Post by: Ryan on June 6, 2025, 07:44 PM
The singles I bought from Amazon were also bumped, but mine are back to September 12th. I feel like a lot hit fairly recently, so I guess a little break is ok.

Post by: Jedi Idej on June 7, 2025, 02:13 AM
I got the email from Amazon for Teva, too, which was strange because I thought I bought it from Entertainment Earth. When I checked EE, sure enough, I had also picked up the case, but that still shows a July delivery. Let's see if they end up changing the date.

edit:
Just noticed the emails from Amazon about the delay for Hunter and Merrin.

I got 6 or 7 date adjustments yesterday, all for either 9/3 or 9/4.

I did as well. Mostly all TVC and then 6” Merrin I think.

After getting an email saying July 8, apparently it’s being delivered today.

Post by: Jediknight760071 on June 30, 2025, 04:32 PM
Mine was supposed to arrive today, but instead I got an email saying:
"There is a delay in shipping the item below because of a supply chain issue. We’ll make every effort to get the delayed item to you as soon as possible. If you still want this item, please confirm below. We apologize for the delay."

I can't be disappointed. Mentally, I was prepared to wait until September.

Yeah.  It looks great, but I wish they put this effort in to an all new figure we don't already have other good versions of.  Still so many good never been made options from Andor, Solo, the ST, etc.

I got a similar email, but just got a shipping notice. Should be arriving tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Did you order Carson Teva and Kallus at the same time? I'm wondering if splitting the order into parts caused some confusion  ???
I got 5 shipping notices today  :P The jpg icons are Asajj x3, Carson x1, Kallus x1, but they are all the same order number and the shipping tracker is definitely only the 1 Asajj I ordered.

For whatever it's worth, I did get Asajj delivered yesterday.  That's the only one I got any emails about from the wave so far.
Title: Re: 2025 TVC Wave 4 (New TVC Wave 43)
Post by: Jediknight760071 on July 1, 2025, 09:23 PM
I'm very confused. Apparently Amazon tossed my order over to UPS? My order now says "Check Your Delivery Info" and "UPS fixed the address issue, so please check back later for more delivery info. Check and update the address info in Your Account to avoid this issue next time. "

But I've never altered my address with them.
I'm just going to sit here quietly and wait. Pretend it's the 90s and there's no way for me to track this package or be worried.

I ended up getting her yesterday out of the blue, so cool? Great figure. I did order her with Kallus so not sure if that had anything to do with it or not.

I opted to order this wave from Hasbro Pulse.  The emails I got indicate that these figures aren't going to ship until September.  SMH...

Got my case on Thursday from EE. While watching Bossk's Bounty review, I got the idea of removing the jacket off one of the Teva and replacing the arms with those from a recent X-wing Luke. I wonder how that'll look? But the swap will have to wait until I get to unpacking.
Title: Re: 2025 TVC Wave 4 (New TVC Wave 43)
Post by: Ryan on July 22, 2025, 02:50 AM
My EE case arrived today too. It's nice to finally join the party with these guys. This might be my favorite overall wave in a while (at least when it comes to the new figures in the wave). The Kallus and Ventress are FANTASTIC, and I really like the Teva too. I'm glad I ordered extras of each of them. I do really like the new cards on the Dengar & Ponda Baba repaints, even if I would have rather had other figures rereleased/updated.
Title: Re: 2025 TVC Wave 4 (New TVC Wave 43)
Post by: Rob on July 28, 2025, 08:07 PM
For anyone curious... I cracked open the Ponda Baba today.  The only discernible difference to me is his skin color - the new one is on the right as is greener.
