If their track record is consistent they should repost this in a few months either for more pre-orders or when it finally hits US shores.

I was stuck in a work meeting and missed the pre-order.  I added the set to my favorites list in the Target app so I can keep an eye on it and watch for one of those magical windows where it is available again sometime in the next 6 months.

I'm in the same boat. I'm not too disappointed though. I have the basic figure preordered and there isn't a ton of extra value included here. If it comes back in stock or I see it in stores, I may eventually swap out the preorder of the basic figure for the deluxe version.

The Massiff looks good and is definitely an improvement, but I never disliked the Saga version, and I have a few of those around. I'm not sure the beast itself is worth an extra $10 to me. Put me in the camp of preferring another Tusken repaint/retool over the straight repack of the new Tusken Warrior. I wish they at least had included an addition unique accessory in the set.

The Ree-Yees reissue was puzzling until I figured something out - Hasbro appears to be systematically re-releasing all of the Jabba's Palace figures from the Kenner era in TVC!  So far we've gotten:

-Klaatu (Wooof) - reissue
-Ree-Yees - reissue
-Squid Head (Tessek) - new
-Weequay - reissue
-Nikto (Nikto Skiff Guard) - reissue
-Yak Face (Saelt Marae) - reissue

I think this makes sense with the Jabba's/Boba's Palace set on its way. Hopefully, this means we will be getting a TVC Jabba this year as well. (I missed the both the TBS & the Khetanna versions)

I’m actually glad Nien Numb is back, I had missed that Wave back in 2012 and never ended up picking him back up. I’m happily down for two each from this wave.

This set is so ******* exciting that it got Scott to post again.

I was stunned to see this set announced. With all of the repacks and repaints we’ve been getting and the state do the line lately, it felt l like those guys would never get made. Count me in for 2-3 sets.

Yeah I just got Wooof and Kithaba.

I do agree with Ryan, the Yakface's head color was different enough that I opened it, but I don't see any appreciable difference in paint on these two. 

I'm returning these two.

Rob, FWIW, I did notice that the Kithaba rerelease has elbow pins that now match the sleeve color. The original release had mismatched pins that were closer to the main-orangish shirt color.

I'm all for this set, even with the inaccuracies they still feel close enough to a good representation of the characters. While I'd definitely prefer that we got source-accurate figures, the fact that we are getting these at all is currently enough for me. I can always pretend they are other Tuskens from the same tribe or do some small modifications to the bandoliers to make them more accurate.

Yakface is a bit different, mine just got here today and I was checking them out side by side. The new one doesn't have as dark of a wash on the head and the highlights on the hair are brighter & more pronounced.

Mine arrived yesterday and overall I am loving it so far. I always appreciated the POTF2 version, but this one sure is an improvement. While I do appreciate that the moss is scene specific, there is a part of me that wishes Hasbro would have left it off so I could reuse the bunker for other scenes easier. Minor gripe though since most people will just use it as the Endor Bunker. I decided to just leave Nik Sant carded since I already have the old (TAC?) Collector's Tin version loose. For $60 I certainly wouldn't have minded some additional accessories or another pack-in, but those days are long past.
