Nice, I'll take another. Especially w/ Carson Teva coming out soon.

I could definitely see the potential for a double dip on the V344 Luke. The landspeeder comes with his rifle. But then I think about the TVC release from around 2011, and there was no pack-in figure.
Hasbro gave the landspeeder a new feature -- a cloaking device. I can't find it by any search criteria.
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).
Nice to get confirmation on the landspeeder. Hopefully that is not going to cost more than the Speeder Bikes (without a pack-in I feel that is still reasonable even with today's prices). I can't image wanting to spend to much more that than on a small vehicle...
Sounds like the Landspeeder will end up in the $60-80 range... more details to come.
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.
The older figure lines were much better at having standard-sized foot peg holes. TVC is a hot mess.
