8 ships in one wave?

No, 4 and then 4.  Like this:


Wave 4
1x Treasure Hunt Republic Gunship (Clone Wars deco)
2x Darth Vader's TIE Fighter
1x Imperial Shuttle Tyderium
1x AT-AT
2x Wookiee Helicopter
2x Anakin's Jedi Starfighter (Green)
2x Battle-Ravaged Millennium Falcon
1x Royal Starship

Wave 4, Rev 1
2x AT-AT
1x Treasure Hunt Republic Gunship (Clone Wars deco)
1x Darth Vader's TIE Fighter
1x Imperial Shuttle Tyderium
1x Death Star
1x Jango Fett's Slave I
2x Royal Starship
1x Wookiee Helicopter
1x Anakin's Jedi Starfighter (Green)
1x Battle-Ravaged Millennium Falcon

Wave 5
1x Treasure Hunt Republic Gunship (Clone Wars deco)
1x Battle-Ravaged Millennium Falcon
2x Royal Starship
2x Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator
2x Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter (Blue)
2x Trade Federation AAT
2x Titanium Limited Edition Slave I


They are sneaking that "lost" wave in during Wave 4.  Then the newer ships in Wave 5.

Also, be sure to note that the "Galactic Hunt" Silver Slave 1 is 2x per case, so it won't be that rare.  Also, the Treasure Hunt Clone Wars Gunship is not only shipping in Wave 3, but it continues to ship at 1x per case through wave 5 so it won't be all that rare in the long run either.   


Here's the EE picture...

That's what's happening Jeff. I called EE to see if I can pick up my case, and they explained to me that they are filling the set orders first as they have not recieved their full order from Hasbro yet.

So, basically they are filling the orders where they make the most money first?  Lame.      

It doesn't fit really well with a lot of the divisions, though I can't see how you can really say that about Winnipeg and not say it about Minnesota as well, it's only one hour of extra flying time. 

I feel for ya.  Here's how I'd handle it.  I'd move the Penguins to Winnipeg (sorry Jesse).

First thing I'd do is re-name them.  I wouldn't go back to Jets, but I'd pick something else... how about the Winnipeg Wendigos?  Maybe the Winnipeg "Suck it Bettman"s?


Anyway, I'd stick them in the Northwest Division with us.  Then, I'd move around some other teams to make it all work.  It'd look a little something like this:


ATLANTIC
Philadelphia
NY Rangers
New Jersey
NY Islanders
Columbus* (takes Pittsburgh's place out east)

CENTRAL
Detroit
Dallas* (takes Columbus' place)
Nashville
Chicago
St. Louis

PACIFIC
Los Angeles
Anaheim
Phoenix
San Jose
Vancouver* (takes Dallas' place)

NORTHWEST
Calgary
Colorado
Edmonton
Minnesota
Winnipeg*(take's Vancouver's place)



If they did move the Pens west to Vegas, they'd have to do some re-arranging too (probably very similar to what I have listed only minus the Vancouver move since Vegas would just take the place of the displaced Stars) so why not just go all the way and right a long gone wrong for Winnipeg? 

Then, in a few years, after Pittsburg has learned from it's mistake and put in gambling and a new arena, they can have the Oilers because they'll be ready to go and all the changes/moves can be reversed...   

I wonder though, if it's in SAGA 2006 packaging, wouldn't it be considered a SAGA item? I guess we won't know until we see the packaging.

Yeah.  All we know about it at the moment is that it is from the Clone Wars Cartoon, so it went over there (just like the EE 4-Pack Clones did when they first popped up). 

If pictures show up and it's in Saga style packaging, then it will most likely find it's way back over here...

I'm thinking that this might come with a figure or two considering the price tag on it.

That's kinda what I was hoping too.  $45 for this thing is a rip off unless it's got a couple NEW pack-in figures. 

The original didn't sell well at $40 until they went on clearance and the CW and RotS versions sold like hotcakes at $30.  Charging $45 for these is stupid unless they have at least one new pack-in figure.   

Wait, what figures are coming in this pack again?

No one really knows for sure at this point. 

I've seen/heard at least two different rumors so far -
1) Ep2 Palpy, Orn Free Ta, Ep2 Bail, Ep2 Red Guard x2
or
2) Ep3 Red Guard x2, Anakin, Palpy, Mace

And, Jayson's guess is another good possibility I suppose. 

Again, those are just rumors though and no one knows for sure yet... 

Jeff - who from the JD staff gets to go to NY?

The lucky bastich would be Dave (jokabofe).   

I guess this thing can be "officially" confirmed because it is now up for pre-order at Amazon.com for $45with an expected ship date of May 1st (but we all know how those ship dates go  ).

Should be the same old Gunship, but this time with the killer paint deco from the cartoon.  $45 though seems like a HUGE rip-off considering the first release went for $40 and was clearanced and the RotS version sold like hotcakes for $30.   

Unless it's got a bunch of pack-in figures, I'm going to have to pass...
