Mine were pretty similar to Jeff's.  I generally only vote for all new characters when I have the chance.  That meant a lot of Bad Batch, which I agree are probably a lost cause.  If Hasbro couldn't find a way to create a marked up exclusive five pack in the past couple of years I'm not sure they're going to go back and revisit it unless we get a radical change in how they operate.

Great list Jeff!  I'd love more freaky aliens to go in my cantina.

I've got a pretty nice cantina bar area that I've built from all the bar pieces we received over the years.  One of the things I like about it is that its a great place to put random aliens that don't fit in any other environment I've got setup.  I don't have much for PT setup, so any E2 cantina aliens get dropped in to my ANH cantina.

I can't wait to get the official Hasbro stuff to build out this diorama area more, but I'm still trying to figure out how to split the display in to a couple of shelves.  I may end up reusing some of my old bar pieces if necessary.

So has anyone been taking part in the voting?

I managed to do the Wednesday and Friday vote.  Missed the Monday vote.

It just went live.  I used the Yakface link.

Anyone get an order in?  This is a pain for me.

I did via Pulse.  Couldn't find them on Amazon.

81
Nothing yet.  Trying the Yakface link and just searching using Target's kind of crappy search engine.

Hey, I've got one of those too!  (but I do know who signed it)

I've really tightened up my "Best Offer" minimums due to all the garbage offers/DMs I received.  I used to offer up a much broader window to encourage some negotiation but you could see people just trying to find the bottom of your offer range and then getting pissy when you didn't accept it.

Most of the things I'm selling have a fairly well established market value and that is the way I price my stuff.  If you're trying to get a 50% discount because you'll PAY RIGHT NOW I'm really not that interested.  I don't need the money to pay rent and am willing to wait a little longer to get roughly fair market.

Mine just showed up.

Now I want a whole pile of Anzellans.  I probably shouldn't say that too loudly as now he'll be repacked in to 100 figures to change them from standard to deluxe offerings.  Ideally they'd just make a Sith Eyes 3PO with droid hacking chair and handful of Anzellans with Babu Frik for $40.

And on a related note, the tracking within the Amazon app is crazy.  Has it been like this for awhile?  I could see where the delivery truck was and how many stops away it was, and it was super accurate.

I guess its good if you're ordering expensive stuff or have to deal with porch pirates (this was neither).

I would not be surprised to see the Landspeeder offered in that price range.  There's also the mystery of another vehicle in the works for TVC.  And I think there could be some possibilities with this if it's slated to be part of the Return to Tatooine theme:

-The Imperial Troop Transport - Sure, it was originally released by Kenner in the 1978/79 line.  And then it turned up in The Mandalorian, eventually being released in TVC.  The Kenner box art always made it look like it belonged on Tatooine.
-T-16 Skyhopper - It amounted to a toy and glorified set dressing in ANH.  But I'm fairly sure there's one in the ROTJ victory montage as it checks in on Mos Eisley.  Could Hasbro go back to the well with this?  It was one of those POTF2 vehicles that was a bit of a surprise way back when.  I could see the potential for packing in a variation of Farmboy Luke with this.
-Lars family speeder - Again, this was essentially set dressing.  It got a repaint for appearances on the streets of Mos Eisley.  Plus the same model speeder was worked into the final episode of The Book of Boba Fett.  Is it worth Hasbro going there?  I don't know.

I really hope they don't do a redo of the troop transport or the T-16.  I'm fine with the versions I have.

I would really like a Lars family speeder though.

So what else do I expect with the Commandos?  I think we're likely to see a troop builder 4-pack, plus a single carded officer with the red markings on the armor.  And eventually I think Hasbro will do what they did with the Dark Trooper, and it's likely that they'll release a single carded TVC basic figure of this trooper.

I hadn't thought about this, but doing a 4-pack with all the weapons options would have been a far better option.  And they could start with a single carded basic version with limited accessories.

Yes, congrats!  The barge is by far the best HasLab they've done and displays so nicely along with skiffs, etc.  There are so many figures that fit in that environment.

Selling built is fine.

I've sold most of my Legos on eBay (and Bricklink), and when I sell loose/complete sets I actually assemble them to ensure all the parts are there, take photos, and then partially bust them up as necessary to fit in a package.  I've never had anyone complain that I sent them not completely busted up sets.

The Commando looks fantastic and the accessories all look great, that being said I may have preferred to forgo some of the accessories to get him on a single card. As a deluxe, I likely won't be picking up as many of them and will hope it gets rereleased in either a troop-builder pack or on a basic card.

I kinda think Hasbro messed up here.  Recently deluxe figures have really peg warmed, and when you have an army builder I would think you would want it on a basic card.

I definitely think that they should have eliminated a bunch of accessories and made this a standard figure.

I'll be interested if they take the shield and some elements and make a riot control Stormtrooper for Andor.

I guess I'm more of a "meh" when it comes to Kathleen Kennedy.  In my opinion she was a capable caretaker, but not a visionary.  She was good on the business side, and good at supporting Lucas/Spielberg, but I'm not sure how good she was on the creative side.

I'll be interested to see what direction Disney goes in to see who they want at the helm.  Would they move Favreau of Filoni in to that role?  Or would they go for a relative outsider?
