I really like this wave.

Glad they are finally filling out the Fallen Order/Jedi Survivor universe beyond just Cal and a bunch of Imperial Trooper variants/kitbashes.... one of which, of course, is also in this wave.  I don't mind though, I'll never turn down a Stormtrooper variant figure.  I'll buy one for the FO/JS shelf and then a couple more to mix into my regular Stormtrooper ranks.

Crosshair is long, long overdue.  2023 for Hunter; 2025 for Crosshair... so 2027 for Tech, 2029 for Echo, 2031 for Wrecker and 2033 for Omega?  That's way earlier than 2045, Matt!

Gideon is also long overdue.  It doesn't look like he shares a lot of parts with the Imp Beskar Commando guy, which kind of surprises me.  Agree with Ryan that not including an unhelmeted head is an odd choice. 

Finally, BOBF Cobb.  He'll probably be the dud of this wave since the DLX version was at 50% clearance for so long.  I'll still pick one up to fill out the BOBF shelf, but he's definitely the weak link of the wave.

More stuff happened after I went to bed last night...

Capturing the pipeline reveals here... 

Thinking about what Hasbro might reveal tonight... crazy that these 4 figures were pipelined as part of the HasLab Cantina reveal over ten months ago (6/7/24).  Luke has already been revealed, pre-ordered, and shipped (and been double-dipped as a DLX) but we've basically heard nothing yet on the other three.  I am hoping we get a look at them soon and they are planned to get here about the same time as the Cantina.


I'm also wondering how the next round of reveals will go.  Will they do pre-ordering in the immediate future for anything they reveal tonight or will they postpone the pre-orders to a later date to try and get more stability on the tariff situation?

The guys over at BanthaSkull bought one of these 4-packs from eBay and posted a review.

Seems fairly straight forward - four of the new VC349 Snowtrooper, 4x E-11, and 2x long rifles for variety.  No officer deco/armor variants.

Still no word from Hasbro... will be interesting to see if this is announced at the SWC Japan panel.
