I guess that we can surmise from the Naboo Soldier's pegwarming status that Hasbro probably won't be making a running change and doing this figure over in red.  You can see some guys in the same uniform in red on the cardback photo. 

The one interesting thing that I've noticed is that gas prices have gone up a little bit since the election.  Hmmm, coincidence?

I scored the regular versions of Face Off wave 2 today.  Very much liking Wolverine VS Sabertooth.  I always liked Sabertooth's original costume more than the one that got made in the Legends line.

The other two sets are cool, too.  Apparently Mandarin in the regular set does NOT have a removable helmet, so if you want to see his face you need to track down the variant.  Also, in the case of the Punisher set it seems to make more sense to get Jigsaw in regular clothes and not the Punisher's costume.

Sounds cool.  Drop me a PM and maybe we can work out a deal.

That is Rebelscum's observation based on the photograph.  Haven't we learned just in the past several weeks that the Battle Pack photos that we've seen were mockups and not production pieces?  People on this forum were incredulous because of the photos of the Tantive IV battle pack, saying that they won't be buying that battle pack because of the paint apps on the Stormtrooper.  Fastforward to Hasbro being asked about it in the Q&A and they say that those were mockup photos and that the production item will feature clean Stormtroopers.

I think that if we really want to know what the packout for this Battle Pack is going to be, then that question should be asked in the Q&A sessions.  Just because Rebelscum says something doesn't make it so.

I thought the bespin Luke was also on tap for the VOTC line.

It's been on the rumor lists for some time.  The SAGA version was a good offering for a couple of years, and the OTC repaint gave us a clean version.  And we're getting it again in the Dagobah Battle Pack.  But I don't think that figure fits in with the aesthetic that we're getting with figures these days.

A VOTC style Bespin Luke would definitely be a welcome offering.  It's a pretty logical figure to offer seeing how we've got a couple of great TESB Darth Vader's, and it would make sense for Hasbro to make a counterpart to those great Vaders.

I saw the Modok wave today.  I was thoroughly uninspired except for Moon Knight.

Today I scored the TPM and ROTS tin sets at KayBee.  They're normally priced at $34.99, but with the weekend's Buy One, Get One 50% Off sale, the two sets came to $52 and change.  Then throw in the fact that it was a purchase of over $50, they threw in a $10 gift card that's good until Christmas Eve.  NICE!  So they were basically $21 each after all of the discounts.
