I hope to God it's a straight repack.

Listen, I far prefer they concentrate on the making of the toys than talking about them but, let's face it, Hasbro's communication sucks and its moronic decisions demand clarification and explanation more than anything else. Most of these sites chimp out too and ask "lay-up" questions anyway.

I 'm liking it. I'll reserve judgement on the colors until we see official product photography of him. I'm sure the lighting and color correction applied to these first look images are not representative of the true color.

I'm telling myself the same thing.

A case of the AOTC wave hit my local WalMart - and as luck would have it they still had a Zam on the pegs (all that was left besides her was the Obi-Wan, Super Battle Droid and Jango Fett) - and I wanted a third one of her to open so I could display her in third head/scarf configuration.

So now with the exception of scoring another ROTS Darth Sidious and another ROTS Magnaguard, I'm all caught up with Vintage for right now. And since I haven't seen ROTS waves hit in a long while, I'm sure that I'm going to have to rely on the secondary market for those...

I can, at the very least, find you a ROTS Magnaguard, Pete.

TWO FULL WAVES FROM THE CITADEL ARC?!! That's craaazy.

Some great figures in there to be sure, but that numbering seems sketchy. I mean, how far off are they going to push Savage Oppress? Not to mention Aayla, Hondo, Commander Jet, etc.

Seems like those waves would put us well beyond SDCC. And the Oppress arc was way before the Citadel.

Good stuff though...

I don't buy it. It is Wookieepedia, after all.

Received my order of Wave 6 from HTS today - I'm now officially done with Wave 6 - I keep hoping that Wave 5 will come back in stock or I'll find it at a Target or TRU...

I finally saw some Wave 5 in a Target. Got Death Star Escape Luke, R5-D4 and Yoda. I stocked up during K-Mart's buy-one, get-one-free sale in November, so these will only cost $4.50 which, for reworks, is fine by me.

My rule is to always wait one year for an item to show up before resorting to a seconday market.  Believe me, it works.

Years ago, I just could not find Lillipop Mace.  Looked for months.  Finally, I stopped thinking about him and figured I'd get him ebay at some point.  A few months later I was in a Rite-Aid and casually checked the toy aisle.  There he was.  Cheap too, like 5.99.

Patience is the key to cheap collecting.

I could not agree more.

Anybody got a really MOMC one to trade? Though both mine came in perfect cartons, they had flaws.

Is this wave still shipping?

I wouldn't mind scoring second openers of Yoda and Death Star Escape Luke for display purposes and I have only seen this wave one time to get my MOC set and another time to have my primary set of openers....

It's gotta be. Target never got it.
I think 4, 5 and 6 are all in the pipeline still, especially since Target has sat on its hands this winter other than the new Clone Wars two-packs.

I like the eraser/Dawn technique myself.

I managed to grab two at Toys R us Thursday (one for me and one for Pete_Fett). I took the opener. The price point was a little higher, but I'll take it.
Now if we could just get a $15 vehicle sale at Target so I can get the Hyena Bomber and ATT.

They are, indeed, great sets. I hope we see more.

This wave is in stock now at Entertainment Earth.

Too much I already have to spend the money on this wave.

I miss the days when a wave of four new figures would be packed out at 3-per case.

No Jett in the case listing though.

All of which blows. :-X

Best part about finding two cases of this wave yesterday is that, although marked $8.96 at Wal-Mart, they rang up for $7.96.
