Received one of mine today, but I can't say I remember when I sent for it. Cool deal, even if I miss the old days of a mail away being free rather than the regular cost of a figure.

It just looks like his poncho is a hard plastic item, so I was thinking either the hat, hat & hair, or head need to come off to get the poncho off.

Overall, my POTF2 landspeeder had been working fine, the GH Jabba looked good enough on the vintage throne, and the AT-ST doesn't serve much of a purpose. I guess the DX series just haven't done much to wow me. I miss the old days of series 5,  6 and 7- great prices, exciting line-ups, and fun chases (Yakface is still my favorite). Maybe they are hitting the Hasbro wall, needing to get main characters in every series, but I don't get the brick buzz I used to.

I hope the photo is a test shot for the Sandtrooper- I would like them to at least vary the "dirt" deco from the original S2 figure. That picture makes it look like it will be identical to the orange and white flavors.

Too bad they skimped on Luke's shirt deco- I wonder what his hair looks like under the hat?

Holy crap! Garindan rocks- I love the cartooney color scheme they used on him. Kind of bummed that they didn't give R5 a blown motivator or something. He looks identical to the TRU version.  :-\


I'm with you on Garindan, but I would have been ok with a darker scheme as well.

The R5 uses the two legged mold like they did to R2 for the 2 pack, other than that, ya, more of the same.

I'm hoping for good chases as well, but after seeing what happened with the dx series 2 chase prices, I don't want them to be too good.

It will be interesting to see the card artwork- but I think this is one I can safely pass on. As always, to be reconsidered if the price is right. Too many retreads on the cards.

cut scenes from that sequence would be enough to get me to buy a blu-ray version of the films-

Now should be when Hasbro does a rerelease on some of those hard to find cinema scenes.  I know they aren't doing cinema scenes right now, but it seems like the time to do that.

The AT-ST, if it HAD to be an exclusive, should have been with one of Hasbro's existing retail partners.  Even if it had done just OK for Target it would have sold far more units than a smash hit at Kohl's.  Heck they could have given Walmart the AT-AT and Target the AT-ST.

I agree about the cinema scenes, they could be in a box 1/2 that size, and make an attractive $20 purchase for birthday presents. With all the CW figures they have done, they could put together some pretty spiffy episode/story specific sets with only 1 or 2 new figures each. Vebb episode anyone? Or maybe even a zero the Hutt?

I know it wasn't meant to be, but the AT-AT seemed to be nearly a target/TRU exclusive. I never saw it at a single Wal Mart (here in the Twin Cities, Minnesota).


The AT-St definately should have been with a major retail partner. I look forward to finding out where this thing lands next christmas (when I expect it to finally get out).

The excess of all things Hoth has been my favorite. The AT-AT, Target Attack and Defense Hoth sets, and GH AT-AT. I feel like I have more figures than I will ever need, but I like the accessories to give them something to interact with or use for display.

Found some of these at a Wal Mart in Minnesota, but the system wasn't recognizing them. Finally got a set, but it was a pain.
