Finally found the BS Old Republic trooper at a great price and snagged the Hover Tank and Death Trooper from TVC wave two. The Nest figure my EB got in looked meh with its paint apps.
Just need her and a Hoth Trooper to have waves one and two.

Seriously considering taking the plunge and going for The Old Republic vintage figures, already have Malgus and a loose Shan, but to have then in cardback wiuld be pretty slick, big time with Revan coming.

I picked up the new wave at Wal-Mart. One of the targets in my area has had several hoth soldiers as well the rest of the first wave. I really like the Enfys nest figure. I am needing around 15 figures or so to finish up my carded vintage collection series on card. I just love the packaging. The rarest one I need is Bastilla Shan and the echo base soldier.

No where local to me ever got the Hoth Trooper. Debated getting one online but paranoid about one coming moc.

What where some of the harder figures for you to find?

I saw the new wave but ended up passing on the Hoth Trooper which I had intended to grab. I already have multiples of the figure itself, so it is solely about the packaging, and I just don't like these large bubbles. Felt like the artwork gets diminished by a huge bubble that isn't even necessary.

I need to track down the SDCC single card exclusives as well as the wave with Bastilla Shan and Walrus Man and a couple of the lost series card back wave and the Rey Walmart exclusive. I have them packed up so not sure of all of them I am looking for. Some of the lost wave I have both card backs or I have 1 design.

At least going forward they'll have smaller bubbles that won't need scotch tape (starting with Wave 3 I believe.)

I've seen quite a few Hoth troopers at Target, but like Talibane - I passed because I already have a bunch of that figure and it's just not worth it for $15 to toss another army builder in the pile. Now if it was a re-issue of the old TVC echo base trooper, I would have bought every one I came across lol

I finally found a Luke/Wampa at Wal-Mart yesterday, so stoked! I also picked up the new OT Tie Fighter at Target.com, and holy smokes! I love it! Best Tie fighter Hasbro has given us since the TVC interceptor IMO. Now hopefully the AT-DT will start showing up, I really want that one too..

This is a great looking set. I'd love to see Beckett's entire team in Mimban attire.

 

[Captain Clown]

Yeah, that is a nice looking set. I might pick one up if it hits clearance.

I was surprised to see the new TVC TIE Fighter at my local Walmart the other night! It’s beautiful but definitely not worth the $80 price tag.

 

[TonTon]

Just picked up the TIE, but also unsure of the price. Saved the receipt as I was hemming and hawing but figured I really don’t want to go back to Walmart to grab it or go and see it gone.

No news yet on a European release of the Sailbarge I take it?

 

[Captain Clown]

Nothing yet unfortunately. Maybe after it releases in America?

That’s super cool, pretty much all the Solo troopers in one go except the Range trooper right? Think I have to grab this one!

Damn, It’s $80 just like the hovertank.. bummer, I probably wont get it because 80 is just too much for a tie fighter and I never see clearanced Wal-Mart ships in my area. It’s cool though, I’m really happy with the Solo line Tie at 1/2 the price.

Found this report on Jedi Temple Archives. Did not remember a new Sandcrawler (supposedly twice as big as Hasbro latest attempt) was to come in the Diney Droid Factory line.

Broke out the POTF2 cardboard Cantina Set again

If the little Gonk droid in the bottom left is something to go on, it looks similar in size.

Yeah, it's a bit bigger, but when I heard about it, I thought we were heading to BMF or newer ATAT scale. But I guess it's too boxy proportionately to do that. You'd end up with a 3' cube box. Great price though.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Well, though we may not be in BMF territory yet, this update is larger than i first thought.

 

[Khev]

Speaking of BMF's. I wonder what the next "Jabba's Sail Barge" might be. A BMF Kessel Run Falcon would be sweet.

I was kinda thinking of something the size of both of those put together. Now THAT would be a 3 3/4" sandcrawler.

The box could come with wheels and a luggage handle.

I guess so. Well, I'll wait.
