New head, old head, who gives a S***!  It's Kit Fisto, and I will always buy him.  Especially on a ROTS cardback.  if it really is a new head sculpt on Kit Fisto I may get 2.  One to open, and one to keep on that beautiful ROTS packaging.

I will definitely be getting Shaak Ti, Luminara, and Sebulba tomorrow if they truly do go up.  I have seen no official word from Hasbro, but Yakface says tomorrow is the day based on what Hasbro said at the London Con.  And I trust YakFace.

If you can't trust a site called YakFace, I don't even know what the Hell we're doing as a people.

I trust YakFace. If you can't trust a site called YakFace, I don't even know what the Hell we're doing as a people.

"Our collector, who art online, Yakky be thy face."

YakFace is one of the few sources I actually trust. If he didn't say it, it must not be true. And if he did say it, but it didn't happen like how he said it would, it's everyone's fault but his. 

Rebelscum was always my go-to source for Star Wars figure news, back when I relied on individual webpages for news rather than this forum and/or social media (from those same individual pages in a lot of cases). Yakface might have been among the first that I remember though. Even before Rebelscum.

Luminara, Shaak-Ti, and Sebulba are all up on Pulse and BBTS, assuming everywhere else, too. 

Yep.  Pre ordered Shaak Ti, Luminara, and Sebulba as soon as they went up.  I love getting any and all Prequel and Original trilogy characters, but prequel jedi are always my main wants.  So, these 2 knocked off 2 of my top 10 Prequel era jedi.

I think right now the 10 Prequel Jedi I want most, also taking into account we should be getting Barriss Offee as well, as reported/hinted by Yakface, which joshsquash729 and I have established are always right all the time, would be.

Saesee Tiin
Agen Kolar
Quinlan Vos
Eeth Koth
Coleman Kcaj
Coleman Trebor
Pablo Jill
Yaddle
Adi Gallia
Yarael Poof

I'm glad BBTS got them too and not just Amazon. Don't wanna feed that machine unless I have to.

While alot of the prequel Jedi are on my list of wants, they're not all in the top 10. Ones like Agen Kolar and Pablo Jill didn't have much screen time, even in CW. So I'll buy them if they make them, but there are other figures I want more. Like Talon and Krayyt. Or some more outfits for Galen, especially one of his Jedi suits and a couple of his dark side outfits, as well as his TFU 2 look from the cover. His mandalorian armor is also really cool. And to go down that vein some more, Rahm Kota, and Mariss Brood would be nice. 

That new Skeleton Crew trailer was really fun.  I'm actually pretty excited about this show.  But I don't think I'll get any figures until I see the show. Well, except for that Pirate Werewolf.  That's an instant buy.

I think it looks like a lot of fun too. A lovely little throwback tribute. I'm in the same boat- gonna wait to see how the show plays out before I go getting any figures from it. Only thing I hope is, regardless of quality, that fans treat the kid actors with respect. Last thing we need is a poor kid getting bullied off the internet by grown adults

I think the adult bullies won’t target the kids with their criticism but rather the show runners and some bullcrap about it not being Star Wars. 

I hope the show is a hit and casual fans get on board. I want wave 2. More Pirates. I want Smee the robot. More f-in alien Star Wars action figures. Yes please.

Thwipp!

I got the mando 2 pack in the mail today. Girl mando broke pulling her out of the box. At the waist cut. Peg snapped. I hope this isn't a running problem. Luckily I can get a replacement. So wal mart is sending me a new one and I will try to be careful with it when it gets here. Otherwise it looks like a cool figure.

I got my replacement set today. It has the same issue the other one did where the torso joint is really tight, on both figures. But this time I was careful with it, pulled the chests off of both, trimmed the little bumps down on the torso balls, and now they're snug. Not too tight that they don't move and will break easy, but tight enough they won't flop all over the place. So that being said, I really like this set. The armors are unique, and the colors are pretty nice. My only real issue is the rifle for the girl. She can't hold it all that well in any meaningful poses, and it stretches her hand so much she won't hold her pistol afterward. I may just give it to one of the other mandos. Also gonna have to find some unique heads to give them for the helmet off look.

Yeah I don’t think the female Shriek Hawk can hold the rifle. It wasn’t meant for her hand size. It’s a cool looking rifle with the gold on the barrel. I might give the extra to the Privateer. 

According to YakFace, who is doing some preorder tracking for an affiliate of theirs, more people preordered the Skeleton Crew Captain Brutus than preordered Sebulba. Interesting if true. I know TPM still isn't super highly regarded, even if opinions have softened over the years. I think Brutus probably skews well enough toward OT territory for some, so the nostalgia factor is probably baked in. Even if he ends up not doing much in the show, he's still a fun alien that'll look cool in the display. I wonder if size has anything to do with it too; for the price, Brutus feels much more "worth it" on first glance- bigger, more pieces (even if some are reuse), arguably more toyetic, etc. Whereas Sebulba is smaller, even if he's an all new sculpt. I guess time will tell on who has the bigger role in the plot, but as we know, that's never stopped SW collectors before.

Interesting. Did they mention how Sebulba sold compared to Luminara and Shaak Ti?

It's also not exactly fair because Amazon listed the SCrew figs at $20 whereas I'm passing on the Prequel characters until their releases/they are on sale. I'm tired of seeing Hasbro pre-orders at $1 or $2 or more dollars at pre-order so I'm not paying them.

@schizm No mention of them, and no mention of what website it was. Could just be on that website- who knows how it's looking overall. Like you said, obviously price plays a big part in it. $5 doesn't seem like that much most times, but it can be the difference between me ordering and not ordering a figure sometimes, oddly enough.
