Legacy Wave 6 - The Empire Strikes Back

[jedipurge]

According to the Q&A sessions, both TESB waves are supposed to be 6 figure waves.  So I guess we're looking at protocol droids.

Better be E-3PO and U-3PO.

Wasn't E-3PO in that battlepack? can't see them releasing it as a B-A-D.

Nope, that was K-3PO

D'oh too many 3PO's

Looks like the last of this wave was confirmed in Scum's Q&A this week -

- Medical Frigate Luke
- Medical Frigate Leia
- Hoth Rebel Soldier
- Captain Needa
- Ugnaught
- Emperor (Evo sculpt with new head)
with a Build-A-Droid HK-47

I am uber pissed they are not including E-3PO...that is beyond lame.  Hopefully the Willrow Wave Will have E-3PO

What the hell is up with Willrow? That have not stated jack about this figure. Half of this wave kinda sucks bantha balls. HK, emp and the Rebel trooper should be nice. Luke and Leia in white robes is very...very...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

That sounds good to me.  Now we need a gurney for Luke.

He is supposed to be in the 2nd ESB wave, which is slated for late 2009.  Based on how Hasbro does things, I doubt we hear much more about him officially until SDCC'09.

I hope so, next to the SA Han Bespin he is my most anticipated figure. Maybe we will see him at TF in February.

I hope we see some pictures soon, we really are beyond due at this point.

2009 is shaping up to be a great year, outside of the Hoth Trooper which is the star of the wave, everything else looks to be a good choice. I never really felt the need for an Ugnaught rescukpt, but I'll take one.

I really hope Needa ends up being the Ultimate SA officer we need so badly.

I'm beyond excited to see Hk-47 as the BAD. Hopefully T3 isn't far behind.

According to jediinsider Han Bespin is 2010! I thought he was 2009. UGH!

Maybe Scott will get a personal invite to the unveiling!

Nice touch doing the "new" emperor.

So is this wave definitely "Wave 6" or Wave 2 of 2009?  It would be nice to see two OT waves back to back (with this and the ANH wave) - its been a little bit since we've seen that much OT goodness in a row .

[Darth_Anton]

If they reset to BD#1, then I think it would be safe to call it wave 2 of 2009.

Wait- Hasbro still makes OT stuff?    Seriously, it feels like I've been out of collecting this last year because of it the scarcity of OT product.  EU is the new OT

Well, the numbering on the ANH themed Wave 5 (aka 2009 Wave 1) isn't starting over.  The pics we've seen list Stormtrooper Luke as BD #30, Stormtrooper Han as #31, etc.

I prefer calling it "Legacy Wave 6" instead of 2009 Wave 2, but that's just me.
