I'm surprised Hasbro wasn't trying to sell the BMF again, though I see a REAL possibility of it ending up a retailer exclusive.
Can't imagine they'd pass up the chance of selling that again, even with some retooling. Some of the Hero vehicle listings are interesting: some clearly point to something "smaller than the big ones this year, but bigger than Micro Machines". Though, I'm tickled to see both Micro Machines and possibly Titanium coming back. Though I'll have to see the price of the revamped Titanium first.

Yeah, rewind: "Hero Assortment" is totally gonna be 2.5" scale ala Guardians of the Galaxy. Which will totes be a suitable Action Fleet replacement, and will then allow them to market a Millennium Falcon scaled towards those figures. And yeah, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a slightly-retooled BMF show up as an exclusive somewhere (TRU again or Amazon, most likely). Also worth remembering: Disney is gearing up for "A Star Wars Movie every year" so there's a lot of stuff that will be coming down the pipe over the next few years as that spins up. |

You're wrong :p
"Hero Assortment" are the 12" figures Hasbro had been calling Titan Series. Agent Kallus Hero "basic" Deluxe Kanan Hero Series So I'm betting "Hero" is Hasbro's new term for "big and cheap" stuff. The oversized X-Wing from this past Christmas was termed "Hero series" as well. So it seems like Hasbro is vastly expanding the concept for Episode 7. Maybe "3.75 In Hero Vehicles" means small, cheap vehicles akin to Action Fleet size?

Maybe "3.75 In Hero Vehicles" means small, cheap vehicles akin to Action Fleet size? I kind of doubt the last bit, too. Best-case scenario the "Hero" vehicles are done in the style of the current cheaper/smaller vehicles that HAsbro's been making, and the "regular" vehicle series is upgraded. As far as "action fleet" goes I won't get my hopes up, but maybe with the Micro Machines or the Die-Casts we'll get something close. |

no, they were just re-carded. I know that the Imperial Navy Commander is being rereleased on the new card as well.

Actually, Starkiller and Malgus have slightly different paint apps. I don't think it's enough to call them new though. Check the pics at Rebelscum for the differences.

I finally saw Rebels figures at Walmart. I got another Chopper to customize and an extra Stormtrooper.

Glad the Rebels figures are starting to show up at Walmart. Found the 2 AT-PD drivers and the TIE Pilot at Target Monday.
