Saw these all today for the first time at Walmart. Ugh. Boggles my mind they can crank this stuff out but can't spare any resources for the Clone Wars.

What is the source material for this version of the Gunship? What specifically is this design based on?

Found it...this was what I was thinking of Pete, from Hasbro's 2013 Product Information:

STAR WARSŪSAGA LEGENDS 3.75-INCH ACTION FIGURES
(Approximate retail price: $5.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: Fall 2013)
These STAR WARS 3.75-inch action figures include the same high quality design kids have been enjoying for years, but now at a new lower price. The line includes characters from the STAR WARS movies as well as the STAR WARS: The Clone Wars animated series. Each sold separately.

So, who knows really? Sounds like they are kind of all over the place with their info right now...

Ah....ok, I was wondering who the CSI Droid was a parody of...makes perfect sense now. Ha.

We've definitely seen the Droid Tri-fighters before, they were in the arc where Ventress got betrayed by Dooku. Not sure about the Jedi ships though, seemed familiar somehow.

Agree the writing was weak, their whole investigation was based on someone observed working around the crime scene, which is part of their normal duties anyway? It's not like the guy was an accountant and was just hanging around the hangars for no reason. Total alien profiling! Sure, blame the big freaky cyclops dude. Couldn't have been his improbably hot wife, right?

I don't even get why everyone thought a Jedi was responsible when there wasn't an iota of evidence to indicate this.

The Barriss Offee cameo was cute, but really for me, the coolest thing in the whole freaking episode were those armored enforcer dudes standing in the background in the Cin Drallig scene. WTF were those bad-asses?!?! They looked like some kind of heavy armored Jedi super commandos, or some kind of weird Jedi-esque Royal Guards.

They would have made for one of the coolest action figures ever in this line, IMO.

How much did the case run???

Well, with the shipping and conversion from Euros, my Wave 4 Legends case came to roughly $200, if he got them from Toy Palace, they probably cost him about the same for the CW case.

I think we'll still see the Yoda packaged stuff here in the US, so while I will admin I'm considering doing what McMetal did, I'm willing to wait until that Yoda look street date hits - wasn't it this week or next?

Hey Pete, yeah it was Toy Palace, I have always had good experiences with them on previous orders, mostly for other Clone Wars Euro-exclusives. You're right on with the case estimate too.

I know of at least 2 Targets locally that reset early (2/11 is the actual street date) but neither of them put out any new figures, nor even any restocks of Maul packaged CW stuff. Nor have I seen any other reports from around the 'net of people finding new figures post-reset. So while I am hopeful we see these too, there don't seem to have been an early sightings yet.

What R4 is that? Not the animated one right?

Righteous outrage aside, there still seems to be a lot of contradictory info out there. We know that Wave 1 is out in Europe, and some of the same figures will eventually show up in the new Saga Legends line. Other than that, who knows what to believe? Are there are US packaged ones out there? If they wind up releasing CW repaints down the road, might they possibly used the re-use the previous animated sculpts? Seeing as how they would have already established the precedent of releasing animated styled stuff in this new line? (I would guess probably not based on some of the other comments I have read coming out today)
