There are 15 here because I included all three Sandtrooper variants.  So technically I think the answer is the white and black pauldron'd Sandtroopers.

Have you met the people from other sites?!

I don’t recall what the original ship date was but I got an email saying this is delayed to May 13.

Toy collectors can be a very weird bunch.  It's one of the reason I'm so glad to have this site.  I feel like we're a small, but relatively normal and socially adjusted bunch.

The email I got said either shipping soon, or shipping on a date that was 3 or 4 weeks ago.  So I assume it was a legit shipping soon email.

Oh don't worry, I'm buying them!  I'm just not going to also buy other figures to get cloaks for these.

I'm 95% sure we'll get cloaked versions for Ray Stevenson, then uncloaked and cloaked versions for Rory McCann.

I’m just going to wait two months and pick up the caped variants that are 100% going to happen.

I quit collecting Super 7 a few years back and sold all my ReAction figures.  I loved that line at $10 and tolerated it at $15, but I was out at $18… now it’s even more than that.  I just couldn’t justify it anymore.

Got a Pulse email that Baylan is shipping soon. 

Edit:  Shin and Yord too.

Without making this political, the president seems to be giving in a bit for the moment.  Yesterday he walked back comments about wanting to fire Jerome Powell, and said that some tariffs would remain in place on China but far less than we have now.  He seems to be at least slightly aware that this isn’t causing anything but harm, including costing him political capital. 

I’m not convinced he’ll feel that way in a week, but at least there seems to be a little bit of movement in the right direction.

Apparently a bunch of CEO’s went to Washington to warn that we were potentially just a few weeks away from empty shelves in the US.

Companies might also raise prices on non-tariffed existing stock as a way to reduce the amount they have to raise prices on incoming stock.  Like, they can opt to sort of spread the pain out a bit.

I probably won't care enough to do that. :)

Oh cool.  I just went and ordered another old Gideon before people catch on and they get more scarce.

Now that I’ve done that, a helmet less version is a guarantee.

Of my Snowtrooper preorders with EE, three have shipped.  The remaining have jumped a whole
dollar to $17.99 each.

So, not a prohibitive jump up to this point.
