Three new figures packed one each in a new wave... Genius.
I think the saddest part of this is that none of the repacks in this wave were ever very prevalent around here in Denver. Sure Wedge, the Gammorean, would definitely have been better choices for the wave, but really I haven't seen most of those figure more than once or twice, if at all. I have yet to see Wave 7, I saw maybe one or two stores that had Wave 4, and the Jango figures seemed to go quick so I only ever saw a few. I never saw Wicket, Ackbar hung around the most but he wasn't
that easy to find, but it's not like there is demand for more of him so soon. Vader was the worst pegwarmer out of the lot but he has cleared out around here. The Luke figures I've seen occasionally but really not that often.
I think it really just goes to show what a ****** state brick and mortar retail is in these days. Almost anything that isn't Dengar, 4-LOM, a Cloud Car Pilot, Obi-Wan or Anakin is appealing... If only because the complete lack of any new product for the last eight months to a year. And yet if this case ships in large numbers at all (which given the state of things I do kind of doubt) I'd be willing to bet that in another eight months to a year I'll be excited to see anything other than Keyan Farlander, Ackbar. Both of who I could foresee joining 4-LOM and Dengar at Targets everywhere for months and months to come.
