Was in far southwestern VA for a wedding this weekend. The town I was staying in had one Walmart, no Targets and no TRU. I still managed to pick up another Evazan, Kithaba, and a random General Cracken.

Am i wrong in thinking there is a wave of these shipping without Aayla and Nom Anor? Or are those two ALWAYS packed in with Evazan/Kithaba?

I just find it weird I have found the exact same figures from this wave hanging on the pegs two times now.

Amazon seems to ship a lot of stuff that gets damaged, so I would be wary of ordering anything I wanted MOC from them.

Wow, BBTS just put up pre-orders for Waves 2 and 3 today! Ouch!

Is this Wave 1 stuff going to linger at retail? Are they going to keep re-shipping or once it's gone is that it?

If only they kept Tatum and killed off that Wayans doosh instead. I'd probably go see the movie ten times.

So many thoughts to share...

First, is the the first time in the history of the animated line we have had ONE new figure in a whole wave? I am thinking yes. That is REALLY sad.

Hasbro needs some remedial arithmetic. With Fox, that comes to 18 (EIGHTEEN) figures for 2012. 18 does not equal 19. Why did we keep getting pounded over the head with the 19 single carded figures mantra? And where is the single carded Cyborg Maul that has been rumored for so long? Was this just total BS? Does that mean Krell will be some kind of carded convention exclusive?

Thank GOD they are re-packing Anakin and Yoda, because those figures are just IMPOSSIBLE to find on the pegs right now. 

Two-per case is great for Obi, Rex, and Fox, but why not the SBD and Wolffe too? Do they really think those figures are LESS in demand than Yoda or Anakin?

Estimated to arrive date is July 2012. Does this really mean they are not going to do any more new figures from July to January? I flat out REFUSE to believe that. They must be starting over again come the Fall. Or canceling the line outright. No way they can keep it on life support for six months, especially during the holiday season.

I find it curious that leaked imaged of Maul and the "nightsister" have already leaked but nary a whiff of Phase II Fox images? They are doing a helluva job keeping that under wraps. Not sure why, but they are.

I picked up the Scuba Clone set this evening and not surprisingly, share the sentiment of others I have seen posting online - the paint apps on the clone SUCK. BIG-TIME. It looks like some kind of crude custom, or Turkish bootleg.

I can't see how someone in quality control signed off on this monstrosity in good conscience. It obviously has to be the factory because they all seem to be this way, to varying degrees of suckitude.

The Recon Fighter was better, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for the Dropship set.

One Walmart near me just moved all the DTF BP's to the Clearance aisle, but they still ring up at full price. 

Saw them tonight at a Walmart that had just completed their reset...only $7.47 there. No Doc Ocks but I did see a lab coat-less and thus source-inaccurate Lizard which I have no interest in.
