30AC Saga Legends

[JangoTat]

Considering the 30AC stuff is already impossible for a lot of folks to find due to the deluge of Saga stuff clogging Wal-Mart pegs, I'm guessing you'll see a lot of yes answers... 

We're still sitting on vast quantities of Endboo, never mind the old stuff.  Now pics have surfaced of the Legends stuff on Canadian cards, which means we're getting it   All I can say is thank goodness I pretty much wrapped up my TAC needs via ordering online.  I'm good through wave 5.  I won't be able to pick up any extras until they're plentiful, but at least it won't be so painful waiting for that to happen.

CND cards!?!? omg this is good news

I really, really, really hope I see the DarkTrooper in the wilds of retail... That's my most wanted figure out of the ENTIRE 30AC line...

[Jesse James]

I really really really hope I don't see too many Dark Troopers in the wilds of retail.  That's my fear.

Agreed.  Looks like a potential pegwarmer to me.  He just doesn't even look like a Star Wars figure to me.

It was interesting to note that in the C4 pictures some of the Ep II officer clones still have the paint issue on the helmet (stripe not fully painted).

These have shown up in Vegas now; someone posted a pic at RS of Wave 3 plus a couple of AotC clones. And I haven't even found 1 Concept Fett yet.

Well, the good news is that the Saga Legends line is carrying the same UPC code as the 2006 Saga Figures, meaning the current glut of Jerjerrods will never allow them on the pegs in most places.  The bad news is that the Saga Legends line is carrying the same UPC code as the 2006 Saga Figures meaning the glut of Jerjerrods will never allow them on the pegs in most places.

In all seriousness, I think that the 2006 Saga figures need to stop shipping already.  With Hasbro concentrating on other things in the coming weeks, such as the FF movie toys and (more notably for them) the TF movie toys, stores are going to be resetting, and it would be a perfect time to clear out all the old Saga stuff, making room for the 30AC figures to finally hit in numbers more than 1 case every four weeks.  But, with the Saga Legends sharing the same UPC, stores aren't going to be willing or able to clear out the 2006 Saga stuff, meaning that not only are the Saga Legends not going to make it onto pegs, but the 30AC won't either.

Seriously? The same DCPI as the basic 06 Saga line or the 06 H&V/GB line?

Yes, the 2007 Saga Legends are set with the same DPCI number as the 2006 TSC stuff... that is why Target hasn't clearanced out the 2006 figures because they are considered an "active" sku/upc by Hasbro.

This info was rumored for a while, and then finally confirmed by EE/Adam Pawlus a while back (see Question #4), but I think it went under most peoples radar...

Definitely concerned on pegwarming...

I think some of them make sense, I know I'll be buying a lot of them as there's some unique and sorta new figures in there...  But yeah I'm very concerned about how some of these will warm pegs and screw distribution of the nice new stuff we all want in droves.

Can anyone please run down which figures in the first wave of Saga Legends are different in any way from their original releases (wave 2 if possible also)? I know that the Battle droid 2-pack and episode 3 clone trooper are different but what about the others? Since they are starting to hit this might be useful. Thanks.

Am I correct in the assumption that the Saga Legends coins are movie specific rather than character specific?

[ruiner]

Yep.

[Blackwolf13]

Thanks. Since I already have most of the Saga Legends figs in one form or another, it'll make getting the coins easier.

Looks like someone found these in Northern California, or at least one of them.

Keep your eyes peeled, there are a couple decent figs in this sub-series.
