Galen is an interesting one. He's been highly demanded for years. So everyone and their brother will wanna get him. But that price is steep. Like unholy steep. But he's a con exclusive, so expect scalpers to get a nice chunk of them. So odds are he'll sell out. But then maybe he'll come back up later on, like with how alot of the other ones did from years past. But he'll still probably be hella expensive for, well forever. And the aftermarket will be insane. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes up to $400 or so, at least if he does sell out.

But then yea, he's coming out in a single box later in the gaming greats line, which used to be gamestop exclusive. But then Bastilla, Malak, and Malgus all came out to specialty shops (I have not heard of them hitting mass retail but it's possible they will) even though they have the gaming greats tag. So he will eventually see wide release, probably be easy enough to preorder. And he won't have jack shit. We'll be lucky if he has a second ligthsaber blade. It'll basically be him and a saber, most likely red, and he'll probably get a price hike by just a couple bucks, cause why not. And I'll still buy 2 cause it's fuckin Galen. He needs to be introduced in live action already. Yea they'd have to nerf him, but Sam is such a great actor and the character and story were really good. He's probably in my top 5 fave characters from SW. If not he's number 6 lol. But I'm pretty sure he's in the 5.

I'll keep an eye out for 5s but I have little hope of finding him. It would be nice, he's one of my fave clones. But this Wal Mart exclusive shit for a nee character that everyone wants from a very popular show, I may as well save the gas and pay the extra $20 he'll be on ebay...

@ru1977 

I'll admit, when I was watching the episode, I became a little happy that we already have/are getting versions that are quite similar to what we saw, and my wallet could rest for a bit. 🤣 

I'd for sure take your first choice- she's an easy enough re-release (I mean, they all are, essentially), but she's the only one I'd really consider a must have. I'd see what the others looked like with their updates, but I'm happy with what we have too.

@joshsquash729 Yeah, I think the only ones I'd be really tempted by at the second and third I listed. The first one seems the most obvious as one of their after-the-show-ends-upcoming-figure-reveals, and ack... actually I'll be tempted by that one too.

I also do hope for an eventual archive release of Ahsoka with her poncho from the set with Din.

@ru1977 That first one in your list is an absolute must have, and I would be shocked if there isn't a figure already in development on that one.   

The rest of the list would be great too, but I really hope they don't just re-release that last one in an archive wave again.  I know it's a super popular figure, but it kinda sucks and we need a entire new figure of that one pretty badly.

I think I got the archive version which I still see people lament but I like the one I got at least. 

Spoiler
I guess this will spoil stuff for the latest Ahsoka episode if you know what I'm talking about here
but i use the dark side head which seems a better likeness to me.

Well, finally messaged Wal-Mart about the missing Bad Batch figures, and they pulled a Wal-Mart.

Apparently they charged me and printed the shipping labels before they actually had the product in stock from the warehouse. Or so I was told. Given that many others have received their wave, I think they just oversold it and are making an excuse.

I was able to get a replacement sent for Tech and the Clone Commando (though at this point, who knows if they'll actually ship, since apparently they don't have stock?). But the rest of the wave had to be cancelled due to not having product and not knowing when or if it would be restocked, so no Hunter, Echo, or Fives for me for the time being. If anyone has an extra of any, hit your boy up!

Ugh, man that sucks. I assume I'll be going through the same nonsense in a couple months with the Obi-Wan show Obi-Wan.

@ru1977 I keep forgetting about those two. Qui-Gon I can live without if need be, but I'd really like that final Obi with the skyhopper. At least the customer service agent was somewhat nice this time around. It can feel like bartering with Watto a lot of times.

Haw, well at least there's that.

And yeah, I'm trying to be more "eh, I can live without it if they walmart me" about these figures.

That sucks Josh - the Wal-Mart pre-ordering experience truly is the worst.  There is always the chance with Wal-Mart that the figure will show up in numbers months later, so there's that hope at least.

Though I shouldn't complain about Wal-Mart yet today.  Apparently my fives is out for delivery, and I don't wanna jinx it!   (I got lucky enough to re-order the other day, my pre-order was Wal-Marted)

Krrsantan showed as in stock on Walmart a couple days ago. I jumped at the news and ordered one right away. Said it would be delivered the next day. But, Walmart being Walmart, instead of Krrsantan, they grabbed a Boba Fett off the shelf at a local store and delivered that instead.

Looks like Krrsantan will ship this month on the 21st from Hasbro Pulse, instead of November 1st.  I'm excited to get him.

It kind of blows my mind how they didn't include the poncho in the Ahsoka line Ahsoka.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore, but come on at least throw something in that seperates her from the last release.  (like a screen accurate head sculpt or the poncho)
