Hmm according to the front page waves 3 & 4 seem to have been juggled and figures added.
Weird how people had found figures in Targets already that now look like part of wave 4

That dum has been beaten among the SW faithful for so long on the large vehicle line that it's getting stale with me. They'll make what they will predict will make a profit and is affordable. While the BMF and AT-AT can be considered hits among collectors, I'm not sure what they did at retail. I didn't see many around. Conversely, the Republic Shuttle and MTT were duds and had to be or will be clearanced. The mega Trench Run pack and Clone Wars Slave 1 pack didn't light up retail either. On a smaller scale (more akin to Skystrikers) the B-wing, Y-wing, and Tie Bomer, all exclusives mind you, sold terribly. Yet Hasbro is planning a Biggs deco X-wing and a Vintage Box ESB Slave 1.

If they think it will sell, and they can produce it so the profit margins work, they'll do it.

Oh man, That's like making a SDCC ver.2 Snake Eyes. Oh man.

No photo or official slideshow online yet but word on the street is it might be an ESB Fett with a Carbonite Han. Sounds like SDCC will be the only place to get a Han-scicle with Boba, while ESB Boba will still be a wide release in a future wave in addition to SDCC.

I'm wondering if the case BBTS just threw up will be canceled and resolicited? It had all the figures from Waves 2 & 3. Cyber Ninja, Joe Colton, Red Alley Viper, Dark Ninja, Lady Jaye.

Or will figures like Joe Colton and Lady Jaye be carry overs in the new waves.

There is a Tanker with the same moniker as one of our own that is claiming Joe Colton will be the 2013 version of Renegades Storm Shadow, thereby possibly creating a panic where there is none. Especially in light of the fact these haven't hit in wide release yet.

The wave 3 case you see at Targets and online now is the old wave 3 case. They were made for the original movie release. The new wave 3 is for the new release. Basically, the movie getting pushed back allowed them to reorganize, but they didn't pull back what was already sent out.

Is ESB Fett the one with green forearms? I like the one with red forearms the best. Is red forearms ROTJ Fett?

If SDCC Fett is just 6 inch Fett with a block of Han then I'll pass. If the block of Han is electronic and speaks Jeremy Bulloch quotes, then they've got me by the collecting balls.

Jeremy & his wife are such nice people. I got to hang with him and Kevin at that show in Boston a couple years ago. Kevin has some great stories of his time in the service. Ah shit, I'm going off on tangents again...

I'm not going to believe anything until an official street date is announced. I have a feeling scalpers are gonna try to nab a bunch of these toys and get fucked over in the end like they did with Episode One.

Uggkh, God. that hurt my brains.

They should just start naming the damn waves by letters. They'll never hit 26 waves per line.

Wave numbers aside, these are by far the greatest waves I have ever seen. It won't surprise me if the cases of these sell out online in a flash. Look at them all, so full of win.

I'm sitting here looking at Toy Fair pics of the new Retaliation stuff and what comes on Pandora? The Glitch Mob remix of Seven Nation Army from Retaliation. Heh.

^ This

What's showing up is left overs basically. So wouldn't panic, and pay inflated price, if miss out. Wait until May and if can't find then, that's the time to panic.

Has anyone else picked up any of the Micro Force joe packs? Got 2 of the 5-packs and 3 blind packs at target today and I love these guys! I don't care what people say, they're a lot of fun (and cheap too). I have an extra Flint, Roadblock with machine gun, and double-sworded red ninja if anyone wants to trade doubles.
