@ru1977 It's funny--I've actually, since I started self-shaming about how many preorders I forgot about, started cutting WAY down on preorders. Really thinking about "do I care if I can't get this later?" Especially because Hasbro's been shipping super early. Might I still order something I don't need when it's already out? Absolutely. Hopefully the summer preorders will just be "oops they shipped early" but all stuff I KNOW I ordered. Of which there are are... a lot. (In my defense, work got VERY bad late last year and I might have been doing a stupid amount of retail therapy.) Kinda want preorders to be only figures I'll be heartbroken if I miss from here on out. I'm 100% sure there's at least a few hangers-on with Pulse though. At least Amazon always shows you a picture of your standing preorder for shaming purposes. 

Hilariously the only Black Series figure I felt that way about since I cut back was Ki-Adi-Mundi and he really wasn't a preorder, more like a "we haven't taken him off the pallet yet" preorder from BBTS.

BBTS sent the email saying Ki-Adi would be in stock soon. I need it. I want it. Long have I waited. Soon the figure shall be mine and all will be right with the world.

I got the same email. He's what I'm waiting on to ship my pol. And it's getting pretty stacked lol. Unless they tell me something else is coming out soon before he actually hits that. Cause, almost every time, I ship my pol, something gets released unexpectedly and it has to sit there for 2 months waiting on other stuff.

@docsilence Heh, well I will never shame you for preorders. It's pretty much how I prefer to shop. But it's entirely one of those 'you don't do it the way I do it and it boggles my mind' things, for which I give you a hard time in jest.  It's funny but I also was into retail therapy, though I didn't give in to it a lot. Simply wasted a TON of time daydreaming about things I could buy (mostly Boba Fett costuming stuff).

I was looking at my account on GameStop and they shipped my 2 Droidekas but didn't send any email notification this time. They are supposed to be here on Wed.

Got Ki Adi Mindi and he’s really cool. Finally! 

Hopefullly Shaak Ti finally gets a figure. 

I also preordered Jedi Master Sol after seeing on Intstagram that Always Bumping, one of my favorite sculptors, sculpted that figure. The Acolyte looks very cool from the trailers.

Got the Destroyer Droid as well. I have wanted this figure for years and it does not disappoint. Really cool figure!

Caught the early screening of the first 2 Acolyte episodes last night, and I really enjoyed it. I think I'm sold on the figures, and already have my list of wants just from these first 2 episodes.

Looks like we're getting a couple Shriek-Hawk variants- a 2 pack of a male and female at Wal-Mart, and a single release at Target. These I can actually get behind! With all the different paint apps, and the different skirt/"fabric" pieces. They look really nice! Nice to have another Mando variant besides just the plain Axe Woves body painted in some shade of blue again.

@joshsquash729 Well, I was able to see the pair set at least. I'm resisting building a Mando army, BUT... that guy comes with a jetpack that is the same style as Boba's BOBF jp, so.... that brings them one step closer to finally doing a BOBF Boba Fett.

I'm slowly building one myself. I did some repaints and bought some helmets off etsy to make some variety in their looks. I only have 3 extra right now, but I have a couple more bodies to do, and some more helmets on the way. And I did preorder both the exclusive single packed Mandos coming out later, but of they do a 2 pack and I manage to get my hand on it I'd be more then happy to repaint some more. If the fleet commander goes down in price I may get at least 1 extra of him to repaint too since he's got different parts then Axe does.

Hopefully this works right.

That's cool, going with a not typical kinda helmet.

I saw the single target exclusive figure too now, also a BOBF jetpack. Soooooo, let's also do the Boba, Hasbro.

Did you guys see all the Mandalorian Shriek Hawk figures revealed?

The single Shriek Hawk is a Target exclusive while the Shriek Hawk Trainer 2 Pack is a Wal-Mart exclusive.  The figures look pretty cool.  But I don't see any pre order info anywhere yet.

EDIT: Oops, you guys were already discussing them lol.  Don't mind me.

Still, cool looking figures.  I wonder when they will go up for pre porder?
