Perhaps they've been reading the forums and how you always get screwed with pricing and they decided to throw you a bone
This is the way.


I have spoken.

Ha.  I don’t get screwed with pricing, I just always guess wrong!

Sweet, that's a nice score! The only extra thing I've ever gotten from Amazon that we didn't order was some crappy shower caddy that was sent to our house in Denver, addressed to someone else in Georgia. I'd much rather have some Vaders or Stormtroopers.

I got my Leia's today from Amazon. What an incredible figure, even with the limited poseability of the legs due to the plastic skirt. The likeness is stunning and I really like the swappable hoods. I'm glad I got an extra. I'd still prefer a soft-goods skirt overall but the aesthetics of this version are great. If they put out a softgoods version I'd be dumb enough to buy 2-3 more.

I received my Leias, Artoos, Stormtroopers, Vader, and an extra X-Wing Luke (re-release) over the past few days. I get it, I’m all for “all new characters” too, but these figures look amazing. Plus, getting all these ANH figures at once is really fun. Leia in particular is an absolute standout, and long overdue. The hood accessory works pretty slick, and looks great with or without. (I’d buy a re-release with soft goods lower too). As is though, I’d say pretty much perfect. Makes me really happy they are re-visiting Luke, Han, Kenobi, and Chewie in the future too. I know it feels like we get the big names all the time, but it has been awhile and the TVC has come a long ways since we’ve gotten some of these versions. Can’t wait.

I picked up Rex from this wave at GameStop yesterday and also saw R2 there. Got home and canceled my preorder at Pulse. Fun to buy something new in a store for a change  :)

They did!

I wish they could have done with with my order of Stormtroopers instead.  :)

If you have any extra Darth Vader's without the bubble scuffs, I'd be interested.

Almost ALL of the figures that I've received from this wave have the bubble scuffs on the cardbacks.

All the ones I have seen have had that bubble scuff too…super annoying.

I keep buying Stormtroopers, 2 here or 3 there, while they're available.  The last handful I've bought have had torsos and helmets that have started to yellow. 

Just thought I'd post that here in case anyone is thinking about it... doesn't bode well for them lasting.
