Not that I'm in a HUGE rush, but Sol and Yord are still listed as September shipping for me from Amazon. The others from the Gamestop sale are already here, so I'm slightly more impatient now. Wonder if they'll get bumped up. (Yord has already been discounted and Sol is sold out on Pulse so I reckon patience is key here.)
Got shipping notice for Last Command too. It's been raining figures around here this week.
Price Xizor, Dash Rendar, and the Coruscant Imperial Guard are huge wants for me. Loved those old figures.
@akatsuki i was trying to remember who else they could do and most of those Kenner figures have been done (Jedi Luke, ESB Boba & IG-88, Boushh), then remembered the Coruscant Guard! I don't need to be getting two of those guys those. Oh, maybe I could get just one and put him to the left of the ERGs, then one of Gideon's praetorian guards to the right. Hopefully they make both damnit.
I saw the Savage and Xizor pic the other day but saw a few people say they may have been customs. Then again, there's always those naysayers. I think their rationale being that the hands didn't look like the normal basic gripping hands Hasbro gives, but you never know! I can't quite remember- when was the last time we had any new figures with new tooling that are just straight up announced and not pipelined? I know it happens with army builders, but I feel like with new characters recently, they've all been pipelined recently before they get an official announcement. But I guess if they're ever gonna do it, SDCC would be the perfect place!
I'd be all for a Savage, and even though I'm not really familiar with Xizor, I always thought he looked cool, so I'd snag him too. If those and the Bacara rumor all turn out to be true, then we'll be eating good in the future! Bringing in more Legends characters like Xizor (if he even is considered Legends anymore, since he showed up in TCW) is always a good sign for the possibility of someone like Dash or Kyle.
Would love Darth Talon, if they'd be willing. Also, in the rush of re-releases I'm really surprised Asajj hasn't gotten a slot. I'm also curious how available all of the re-releases will actually be once they start hitting.
Yeah, Talon is one of my biggest EU wants. Along with Lumiya, Visas Marr, and the rest of Task Force 99.
I saw the droid set on a shelf in the "we can't get rid of this stuff" section at my local Target last night, could not remember if I already had it (since it was in that section), then got a bunch of shipping-soon notifications for Target preorders. Mine hasn't shipped yet but for once my brain clicked that I didn't need to buy it on the spot. Privateer has already shipped. Night Owl arrived from Walmart yesterday, too.
Really excited for Savage Oppress and Xizor. Waiting for the Dash Rendar reveal.
Also wasn’t Xizor alluded to in the Boba Fett show? Or maybe the Solo movie? Am I making that up, or was there a reference to the crime syndicate in one of those stories?
Black Sun has been mentioned all over the place, but apparently Xizor has only been mentioned in one comic book in the current canon.
@supreme_d I know one of his species, the Falleen, showed up in Clone Wars. Don't know if it was ever said who it was, though, whether it was Xizor or someone else. But that would make me think he either does, or could, exist in current canon. Whether it was him or not, I'm sure they're waiting until they absolutely know for sure they want to use him for something, if only to avoid another Ki-Adi-Mundi age situation.
Goth Osha, Mae, and Indara from GameStop last night. They're all really nice! Indara's boot got a bit warped by the packaging, so she keeps falling over, but should be an easy enough fix. Her lightsaber feels nice too; that same thicker plastic that Cal came with, I think. I really like the sculpting on all of them; Mae especially has some great detail. I do wish she came with a hand with the knives sculpted into it, as I can see all of them being lost in no time if my kitty has his say. Osha is a stand out too; I really like Pip, but I still can't quite tell if his head is articulated, or if the peg is just really soft plastic, and I don't wanna risk breaking it. Can't wait for the others!
I really did the new packaging too. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it just feels nice. A little thicker, maybe, than the last type of packaging, and I like the slightly thinner tray. Going back to all flat sides meant the top was really easy to open too, which I'm all for.
Also got shipment notice on my Super Battle Droids, who should be arriving today. Really looking forward to those as well! Finally! Should be getting the Mando Privateer as well, but I may return him. I dunno, I only need so many blue Mandos on the shelf. I'm really looking forward to the Shriek Hawks, if only for a little more variety.
EE shipped my Mae. I got her and Sidious there to get free shipping on Momaw, even though they appear to be shipping entirely separate.
Xizor is giving me hope for Dash Rendar. He's my biggest want right now.
