Yes, there are some of us in the wild left.

For example, I have four of the new White large wing TIE:

Pristine White opened
Pristine White MIB
Dirty/Gray-wash White opened
Dirty/Gray-wash White MIB

I bought one each of all TAC figures including variations. On only some did I buy more to open (mostly troopers I wanted and the Pit Droids)

I bought all of the TAC battlepacks even if they had been previously released just for the packaging. I didn't buy a second one to open if I already had the contents exactly "as is" from a TSC or EP3 release.

So, I'm one of those collectors who Hasbro should "love". Apparently they didn't get the memo though. 

Anyway, getting back to the Dagger Squadron, yeah, I said EIGHT because if they have the ship come with a single figure, but then come in four different versions, then I would want one of each version MIB and one of each version open.

So ctonra was correct in his analysis of my ramblings... 

So is anyone thinking about getting four of these so you can have one for each member of the squadron?

I'm hoping that the figure the ship comes packed with doesn't change, 'cause then I'd need to buy EIGHT of them!!!! 

Hopefully the figure is always the same and then I can just get four to open, one to keep MIB and then hopefully at some point the other three pilots will be released.

Good point, there was a German Motorcycle w/Sidecar in the Cargo Truck chase scene in RotLA.

However, the motorcycle in RotLA was a completely different motorcycle than the ones in TLC, so if they do the set from RotLA, I think they only thing that they MIGHT be able to carry over is the sidecar to attach to the current deluxe figure motorcycle. Which would be okay. The only thing I would be worried about is the fact that the only Indy I can seem to put on the current German Motorcycle is the Indy from the Horse deluxe set. If they were smart, they should do the following:

Deluxe Figure #1: German Motorcycle w/Sidecar from RotLA with German Soldier driver (you can use one of the other German soliders to put in the sidecar itself)

Deluxe Figure #2: German Motorcycle w/Sidecar from TLC using the previously released TLC German Motorcycle and the side car from the set I mention above packed with an Indy figure that uses the body from the Indy w/Horse set and the head from the TLC Indy figure. You can then put the Henry Jones Sr. in the sidecar.

I would also love to see them release the Monkey Man and his motorcycle as a set too. Motorcycles with drivers are to the Indy line like Speederbikes and pilots should be to the Star Wars line. Reasonable deluxe figure combos with great play value for the kids and cool display pieces for the collectors.

Just got my non-attendee order placed.  That was remarkably painless.

Yeah, I was also surprised how painless it was. I thought seeing that this is the first female figure in the Order of the Jedi line, it would have been a fast seller.

With the exception of the ANH Obi-Wan, these figures have been easier and easier to get. Perhaps it has to do with the price hikes, I don't know. I think once SS started releasing them rapid fire, it because too much for many collectors to take and now anyone who buys into this line are picking and choosing what they get.

Yeah, I am, however, bummed that the sidecar motorcycle set won't be out until 2009.  It would have made sense to have that this summer with the first TLC wave, as that's the most iconic image in that movie.

So I guess that set will be Indy w/Motorcycle that has a sidecar? And then you can put the Henry Jones Sr. figure in the sidecar? Is that how we are meant to interpret their answer.

Why is it that sometimes we need to hire that guy from a Brilliant Mind to decipher their answers. It really is silly. But like I've always said, they have to be cryptic 'cause afterall, we might start spending our money on Mattel's Star Wars line and Bandai's Indiana Jones line. 

I guess it's good to know this now, it means I'll want to grab an extra Henry Jones Sr. figure so I can have one to display in the sidecar if/when it comes out.

Confusing follow up answer.  They said in one sentence it was not produced and in the next that it didn't get a widespread release - implying that a quantity of the figure they just said never got made had a limited release.

Remembering that the black pauldron version was the same version as the TSC Sandtrooper, my guess is that a handful of them were put together to use as samples since they probably had some spare parts/figures lying around. This is probably how Rebelscum got theirs - a sample from a Hasbro rep. So saying that it was not produced and did not get widespread release is the same thing. Technically it did get released (via handmade samples) but the factory lines were never fired up to mass produce the figure.

So in the long run, yeah the figure (if you can find it/get it) can be had in the Saga Legends packaging but it was never released to the public, which in my mind, makes it a sample/prototype and collecting those types of items opens up a pandora's box of collecting headache when you want to start down the path of prototypes/first shots/hard copies/salesman samples.

So what it really boils down to is whether or not it was ever included in a case pack assortment of Saga Legends and the answer to that question is: "No". Therefore, I personally don't care about the version since I don't seek out un-released pieces - but that's just me. For others out there, your mileage may vary.
