Sounds like there is an Anakin/Ahsoka 2-pack coming next year. I can only think of two unique combinations of those 2 that have not been done - the Mortis "dark Jedi" interpretation and the zygerrian (sp?) slaver outfits.

either would be awesome of course, but since this is Hasbro we're talking about I'm sure it will be neither. 

Sounds like Walmart will not be carrying these?

I guess I better pick up R2 next time I see him. Distribution could be pain with these, I am worrying now.

Definitely some variances in quality, I returned my X-Wing Luke for a better copy because he had jacked up legs. There was an ugly gap between them and the torso that I confirmed was not on other figures.

Still content to wait on R2 for the time being I think.

Saw the recent comic wave figures at TRU this morning for the first time. They are a dollar more than Gamestop so no thanks. They did not have the Gov/Penny 2-pack either.

Thanks for those pics, Greg! Looks great!

I was psyched to find the Governor/Penny B&W 2-pack today at my local comic store. $24.95 was the price there. I figure it will be more at TRU.

These are now the only new SW toys I haven't seen yet. None of the Targets around here have gotten any along with the other new items. Curse you TVC DPCI!

Yeah, I got tired of the same sad whipsong too, looking for these with no luck. The first place I checked today had an aisle location but they were sold out, none in the stockroom. The next two places I checked had NA for aisle location but YES for stockroom, so I knew they were lurking back there somewhere.

So tonight I went back out to the Target near my house which hasn't even started to reset and just used the DPCI trick to have a fresh case pulled from the stockroom. It does indeed sound like these are 1 case per store initially, eesh. I grabbed the Sandtrooper and let them keep the rest. I guess I could have gone for them all but I really am still not sold on jumping all in on this line and $80 seems like a lot when you're still on the fence. I am sorta hopeful these will hit sales at some point this year too.

This is a line you would definitely have to open to fully appreciate, IMO. I had no qualms about ripping into Sandy because he's the litmus test for me. He's pretty kick ass. Not perfect, but it just feels like a great SW toy in your hands. I'm pretty sure I would have loved this as a kid.

I would say my main complaint is those awkward pin joints. Man, those things look ugly and seem unneccessary. I wish they had designed something different for the elbows and knees. It just feels like the extremities could be easily detached with a bit of force or strain over time.

And yeah, a stand would have been nice too. Good luck getting Sandy to stand upright with that huge ass backpack!

Overall I would say I'm pretty impressed but not so blown away that I'm ready to sign on totally. It would be nice to know how many figures we can expect per year, three or four waves seems like plenty. Any more than that would get unwieldy quickly.

Realize most don't care, but I feel compelled to give a major shout-out for an extremely satisfying season finale from Falling Skies. The really knocked it out of the park, wrapping up some of the key loose ends from previous seasons, laying the groundwork for next year, and most importantly FINALLY killing off $%^* Karen.

Thank you for a job well done! (Can we get some toys out of this property though?)

See you guys next summer...
