My next guess was maybe they'd do it right at the expected time but a day late, but now that doesn't seem to be the case either.
FINALLY!!!! Amazon finally sent a shipping notification for Paz Vizsla. And he's set to arrive on May the Fourth!!!
The ship was approximately 4.5 miles above the planet, not in orbit. How far did they chase that bird for? Could have been longer than that for sure.
Lol that no one turned out to be a spy after a week of wildly improbably fan theories bombarding my FB feed. Now im stuck with 50 different Moff Gideon-is-not dead threads.
My only disappointment is that I really, really did think the very final scene of the season was gonna be Bo riding that Mythosaur. Maybe next season?
EE has a free shipping code for orders over $35, and you can find that right in the masthead. I ordered a couple Piett figures and used TVC Stormtroopers to get it over the line for free shipping. Win win.
I just see the FreeShip59 code on the masthead. Weird.
I got my case of this wave last week, and I finally got around to opening it up. Overall I think it's a great wave. But having 6 characters in an 8 figure case is just killing me. Since I got back into collecting both carded and loose figures I am looking for a minimum of 2 of each figure. And this case mix presents 4 x characters who are all single packed. Thankfully one of those is a carryforward in Cal Kestis. But Piett and the Clone Trooper? Come on! And I was not going to order 2 of these cases in order to make good on that.
I see that EE is now offering single figures of Admiral Piett. But I can't find him listed at either Hasbro Pulse or Amazon, and I will not pay EE's ridiculous shipping fees. I'm hoping that other retailers are going to have this wave soon so that it's possible to pick up some single figures.
So far I've only opened up Cassian (Aldhani) and Hunter. They're both solid offerings. Hunter comes across as a little bit stylized, but it works. And I fully expect a Clone Commando figure to be based on this buck in the not so distant future.
Cassian is reasonably well done. The issue with the boots is annoying. But the easy thing that Hasbro could have done with this figure that they didn't? The should have included the E10 blaster rifle. The tooling exists, and this accessory really should have been included with Cassian.
Want to make it a good ROTJ wave? Throw in Sim Aloo, or an Ewok that hasn't been made before, or a new Jabba goon that hasn't been made before...
He's not a never-before made character, but I'd **** my pants for a Squidface that was given the same level of love as last year's Bib Fortuna.
That said, I really need a Fozec before the line ends.
I am still bummed Hasbro isn't selling your version of the Palace...
I just got one from Tunghori last week. It's out of stock now, but he seems to get them from time to time.
Is it safe to assume that you’re talking about R5-D4?
From what I read over the weekend, the analysis from people who follow all the behind-the-scenes stuff points to the storyline that Favreau had planned out relied heavily on the plotline for Cara Dune / Rangers of the New Republic, and once she was kicked out of the franchise against his wishes, Favreau basically threw up his hands and put in as little effort as possible to correct course. So I guess that goes a long way to explain why everything seems to be a jumbled mess as far as the season's overarching storyline.
With Favreau running the show and writing the lion's share of the episodes himself, I do expect storylines to mesh and have some kind of consistency of quality...but I guess that's not going to be the case so much if he was forced to excise a main character after the fact and didn't want to play ball, I can understand how things got sloppy.
I'm not sure how much stock I put in that rumor. Because it sounds like something that would come out of certain circles of "fandom" that use the term "Disney Star Wars" as a pejorative.
