Legacy Wave 10 - A New Hope

[Rob]

Same here... I ordered when the Jawa was out of stock though... and I couldn't add it to the order later on.

[Jeff]

Imperial Scanner Dude is back in-stock at HasbroToyShop.

Gone now.

[Jabba the Slug]

Gone now.

This dude (Scanner Technician) goes fast! 

Does anyone know when Hasbro said the 2nd variant would be out?? 

[Darth Broem]

Yeah, I thought maybe it would pegwarm.  Now I am getting worried about seeing it at all. 

[Nicklab]

You'll probably see it.  It's just selling out at HTS because the ANH wave is nowhere to be found at brick and mortar retail.  The chain stores need a chance to catch up to online retail before anyone starts making pronouncements like this.

[Rob]

So my package got here today... completely soaked.  Luckily I open this stuff up.

What was the deal on the cantina alien's eyes?  I thought they were going to be dark, but the one I got is brown/yellow eyes with little black pupils in the middle.  Is that the corrected version or are they still changing it or are they not bothering after all?

[Jayson]

Hasbro confirmed that they are going to correct them.

[Rob]

That's what I thought... I wonder if this means there will be a variant.  Because the eyes on mine are light with black dots.

[JediJman]

Well, they apparently are going to correct them and there will be two different versions, so I think that is the definition of a variant, right?     Got mine yesterday and they are the gold eyes as well - I definitely prefer the black eyed look on the back though.

[Rob]

Well, they apparently are going to correct them and there will be two different versions, so I think that is the definition of a variant, right?    

Yeah, I know what it means thanks.  I was sort of hinting that I wonder whether they're still going to fix them or not, since I thought they were fixing them before anything shipped.

[JesseVader08]

Honestly, I'll be surprised if Hasbro changes the eyes, even though they've told us they will.  Communication with the factory seems to be a weak point these days.

Well, I was sort of hinting that Hasbro already confirmed there will be two versions.    If you read the statement Jayson linked above, they clearly state it:

"This was just a production variant from our China vendor, and we have actually already made a production correction to the eyes to give him black eyes. "

They aren't saying they are going to correct it, they're saying the initial release is a variant and that they have already made the correction, which would indicate alternate black eyed figures have already been produced.

[Jabba the Slug]

Hope these come out soon. Don't want to have to buy the error version.

Does anyone know when Hasbro said the 2nd variant would be out?? 

Hasbro said that it would be in the EU wave.  Problem is, the EU wave does not have a Scanning Trooper in it.  So it might not make it out.

I believe in an older Q&A Hasbro once stated that they were not 100% certain that it would be released during "Legacy" but I can't seem to find that one as I am presently lazy.
