The r4 d23 one? That one grew on me, didn't like the colors at first. This one is just fun. I must have it! Have any of you used the Disney Shop Parks app yet? I bought a Happabore a few weeks back and it came like 4 days later with free shipping. Aside from the droid 4 pack (which I stupidly bought individually on eBay for a minor fortune) and the holo r2, no sign of the Christmas droid yet.

I noticed a poster on Yakface this morning finding this new Christmas themed droid. I know these boards are more Disney centric (and droid centric) than most. Wasn't sure if you folks have come across this guy yet?

I took a close look and it may be there is a slight bend to the knees of the speeder bike stormtrooper. Unfortuantely, to me it looks like no extra articulation. I still may buy these for the vehicles

That was my favorite scene in Jedi. When the twin Suns of tatooine set, Luke would don his superhero costume and become Banthaman! Can jump a moisture vaporator in a single bound. More powerful than a jawa sand crawler. In the sky! Over the Dunes! It's Banthaman.

Sorry, just delirious from disappointment today...

I'm hoping we'll know far before the night of the event. If it is the case, I'm east coast, plan to attend and will surely post for the folks in other time zones.

Count me in the "most likely to be disappointed" category. I'm not going to get angry if in the next few hours I see garbage released by hasbro. I'm a long-time collector (since POTF2) and endeavored to have a complete collection of the realistic figures (ie no clone wars animated or rebels). I too have a room designated for my collection that I hoped would grow with a new franchise on the horizon.

I've been one of the people lucky enough to score wave 7 at retail and a complete wave 8 on hts. I feel like the quality has finished greatly in recent waves and feel as though the 3.75 inch line is in its death throes. I was holding out for a resurgence in quality for the Force Awakens with some impressive figures and vehicles. I still have my fingers crossed that in a few hours we may see that.

If we don't, however, I won't rant and rave. I just will end a 20+year hobby. I don't really care too much for the 6 inch line. Very well-done figures and Hasbro should be applauded. I just feel that in the 1980s (when I was a little kid), toy manufacturers moved away from large action figures to the smaller sizes for vehicles/playsets. Star Wars figures pioneered in this as far as I'm concerned. GI Joe and others followers suit (and that line seems to be falling apart outside of the collectors club and a few anniversary figures at TRU).

So to end a nostalgic-based rant, I had a good run with 3.75 inch Star Wars figures and of that ends so be it. My brother collects Marvel Legends/infinite (as well as a few other lines like NECCA) and I will help him for the thrill of the hunt. I'll still have my fingers crossed to see some articulated 3.75 inch figures and ships at 1:30 today (I assume pacific time).

I ordered the wave off of hasbrotoyshop today (two waves of purchases) for 9.99 each and used my 15% off. Hopefully ships sooner than the 7-20 mailing date

I got mine yesterday. I really like the colors.
