[Mister Skeezler]

Holy ****, that's on a Saturday! You mean I don't have to block out my work calendar to participate while ignoring messages from impatient co-workers, like some kind of zealot?

[Dave]

Now you have to ignore your family while trying to track down exclusives.

[Matt_Fury]

It's right in the middle of my son's birthday party.  This is going to be fun!

[Ryan]

Just make a game out of it and have all the kids pin-the-tail on a preorder.

I wonder if Hasbro has a lot of reveals planned for pulse con for TVC... once all the stuff that's shipping now gets here (Walmart Finish-the-96 figures, Target Boba Fett and Axe, and with the OWK 3-Pack), my pre-order list is shorter than it's been in years.  The grand sum of every announced 3.75" scale item that I'm aware of is this:

Droid Factory R6-SN0

Retro IG-88 / Dengar 2-Pack
Retro Boba Fett / Bossk 2-Pack
Retro Prototype Hoth Luke Skywalker

TVC Cal Kestis
TVC Klatoonian Raider
TVC Mandolorian Luke Skywalker
TVC R2-SHW
TVC Darktrooper
TVC Jedi Survivor 3-Pack

Multipack - Hoth Rebel Soldiers
Multipack - AOTC Clones

Playset - Fett's Throne Room

Vehicles - Fett's Starship

That's a lot less than normal, makes me wonder if they weren't anticipating things arriving in the US as fast as they did in some cases.

makes me wonder if they weren't anticipating things arriving in the US as fast as they did in some cases.

I think they were just playing it safe and over-estimating shipping dates in many recent cases - better stuff arrives "early" than late like all those Target exclusives this past summer did. 

They also got a LOT of feedback from collectors/etailers about the volume of things that were out on pre-order (based on items like this from Jayson/Yakface).  Etailers had a LOT of money tied up in stuff they ordered from Hasbro and I think Hasbro purposely held off a bit to try to let everyone catch up.


I am guessing Pulse Con will see them officially reveal the three figures that leaked over the summer (Cassian Andor and Vel Sartha from Andor; Artillery Stormtrooper from TM) and the two rumored World-Builder Figures (Paz Visla and Krrsantan).

It'll be interesting to see how much they show off from the pipeline reveals on the ROTJ 40th stuff (rumored Endor Bunker Playset and New Speeder Bike with Scout Trooper).  Also not sure if they will reveal the much-rumored Mando N-1 Starfighter or not yet...

Droid Factory R6-SN0

I missed out on this news.  Has this gone up for preorder yet? 

[Jeff]

Disney has not released their two Christmas items yet - R6-SN0 and Droid Factory Advent Calendar:

So which Cantina instrument was missing from the 6” versions? I’m positive we only got six. 3 in the standard release and 3 with Nalan Cheel.

Super excited for TVC Hunter in what looks like at least a semi-animated style.

I almost had a heart attack when they started talking about the 20th anniversary of Clone Wars because I thought for a minute they might announce new animated figures, which is pretty much my deepest desire since that line ended. But alas it was just a lead in for a stupid helmet. Sigh.

There are six instruments - it looks like the 7-pack doubles up on this one -

[P-Siddy]

Another musician uses the same instrument that Figrin D'an uses.

[Matt_Fury]

Managed to pick up two of the rescue packs, and one of the Modal Nodes.  The Cassian Andor and Vel Sartha I picked up from EE.
