I'm hoping they aren't going to charge a fee for stuff that's in Pile of Loot that came in before all this "fun" happened.  That would be upsetting.

Throughout all the years of collecting, I've never bought a Bantha (lack of space).  I suppose I will finally buy one (even with lack of space).

Gideon is also long overdue.  Agree with Ryan that not including an unhelmeted head is an odd choice. 

Then that would make him a deluxe figure and then collectors would complain about the price point... [/s]

but I guess the head from the regular head fits (though he would be incorrect since this version has no mustache).  It's probably a means to rerelease this version without the helmet down the road.

EDIT: had to change up the first sarcastic line since it thought I was doing a strike-through.

I got a shipping notice last night.  So yeah, this one's on the way from Pulse.

Same here!

Hasbro Pulse sent me an email saying my new approximate ship date is... today.  But no actual shipping notice.

I got a bunch of those as well.  Some of the new ship dates have already passed though, so I'll get them when I do.

I'd love to see Palpatine, too, especially if they are showing Mon Mothma in the Senate.  It'd be interesting to see if there are other characters in the Senate that were around during the prequels (besides the obvious Bail Organa), like Sly Moore or Mas Amedda, just to see some continuity... and what would be even cooler is if we get to see Sim Aloo or other Imperial Dignitaries (I believe they're called Advisors now) to bridge the prequels and OT and possibly put a focus on getting a figure of this old decrepit dude.

Love to see Moroff and Two Tubes and some of Saw's crew in there, along with K2 and an army of security droids.

Now let's see them immortalized in plastic!!
