...Errr, nevermind.

I'm pretty convinced its a new RFT as well as the other two early 2007 BPs don't have a lot of resculpt canidates (outside of a SA AOTC Obi-Wan)

Well, Hasbro also dropped some other hints in other Q&A answers.  Namely that the Saga/TAC wave themes will only run from Episode III through Episode VI for 2008.  With that in mind it helps narrow down the early 2007 Battle Pack characters that might get revisited.  So what does that leave us with in terms of eligible candidates?


___  Betrayal On Felucia - w/ Aayla Secura, Clone Commander Bly & 3 x 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers - TARGET EXCLUSIVE
___  Treachery on Saleucami - w/ Commander Neyo and Saleucami Clone Trooper on BARC Speeders - WALMART EXCLUSIVE
___  The Capture of Tantive IV - w/ Darth Vader, 2 Stormtroopers & 2 Rebel Fleet Troopers (individual head sculpts)
___  Jedi Training On Dagobah - w/ Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Yoda, Spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi & Dark Side Spirit Darth Vader


I think we can rule out the ROTS themed Battle Packs since Wave 1 is a ROTS wave.  Plus that Commander Neyo is due out in a Saga Legends wave.

That leaves Capture Of Tantive IV and Jedi Training On Dagobah as the likely sources.  Based on that I think we're looking at either a new Rebel Trooper or possibly the Obi-Wan Kenobi Force spirit figure with an opaque paintjob.  And either one of those figures would fit into an A New Hope themed wave.

I think it might be alluding to an ANH wave.  And given the hint, I'm thinking it might actually be a Lieutenant Pello Scambras.  He's probably the single most recognizable Rebel Fleet Trooper.




And there have been rumors along the way that we might see figures like Commander Praji, too.  I have been waiting for a black tuniced Stormtrooper officer for a LONG TIME.

The original Y-Wing contained Tiree if I recall which is why I didn't list him (and he had a Red Symbol not blue)

Does he need a resculpt...yep.  But that's not what this list is

That Y-Wing pilot has the right markings on his helmet for Tiree, but I don't think that figure  was ever identified as an individual pilot.  That's why I brought him up.

Yeah Pax rocks!  I've got three of him already.  I can see a group of them being a gang of Rodian thugs in the Coruscant underworld.  

Can I send the ones that will be pegwarming here in January to you? 

There are images of the three new Evolutions sets in the latest edition of Lee's Toy Review.  The pics of the Jedi don't really show anything new.  The images of the Mandalorians are pretty good, and show off a good deal more detail than the images from Comic Con.  And the Sith Lords made the cover.

There's also a troika of articles dedicated to each of the surviving members of Led Zeppelin in the most recent issue of Mojo.  I read some of the John Paul Jones excerpt.  It was interesting to see him totally bash their former tour manager, Richard Cole for his book Stairway To Heaven.
