@docsilence Thanks for the heads up. I got Brutus the Werewolf Pirate as well. He can go in any line, so even if the show sucks, I'll be happy as can be to have a Werewolf pirate.

It'll be funny if Brutus doesn't even have any lines in the show and he sells really well just because we're STARVED for random aliens in this line. I mean, i'm hoping he's a badass werewolf pirate, but even if he gets Greedo'd in his first scene, he's still a great design.

Times like this I wish the Star Wars fandom wasn't so combative. I can't believe we're living in an era when we can have a brilliant political commentary, a space western, an Amblin-style series, a Jedi gritty mystery, an animated commentary on the way we mistreat veterans, and characters from two beloved animated shows jump to the live screen and people are mad about it. 

This is the truest truth.    I see nothing but stuff to enjoy.   And all I hear are angry old men yelling about things being 'crap'.   

I ordered my Brutus so fast because, as you said we are starved for cool alien figures in this line.    It's why I'm desperate for them to announce Kelnacca.    They gotta give me my wookie Jedi, man.    I get worried when I hear people talking about lackluster sales of the Acolyte figure product,  that cancellation of the show could make Hasbro hesitate.   I hope they don't.    A wookie Jedi sells no matter what.

@panthercult It is my fervent hope that Kelnacca and the Stranger were already molded and being produced when the sh*tstorm happened over the show so we can get those dudes. It's okay if we don't get more of the cast, I can live with that, but man, a Jedi Wookiee even if you hated the show - how do you NOT love how ridiculous a Jedi Wookiee is? Someone hates the show? Call him Chewslasha or Furyoda or something and create you're own headcanon. It's a Jedi Wookiee!

I know it will never happen... but a Dark Side Osha is my wanted Acolyte look. Yeah, she chooses murder, yeah, she has no expression, yeah, her motivation is murky at best... but her look is sharp. With removable hood.

Looks like the first reveals in the Gift the Galaxy are a couple Gaming Greats packs. Nice to see some more intricate army builders. Some really nice paint jobs going on- I like the gold coloring; that's gonna look nice on the shelf. Debating which Dagan to get; shoulda known they'd throw in the Force Arm down the line. I do think I like the one-armed version better, though. More representative of the character as a whole.

Also, wasn't Kelnacca pipelined? Or am I misremembering? Maybe that was a TVC, or maybe I'm just remembering what I want to remember. Maybe he was revealed in TVC and I just figured that meant that a TBS was inevitable.

Kelnacca was indeed pipelined.  So, I'd assume we'll get him no matter what.  But I hope we get the Stranger too.  Those two packs are nice.  I really like the one with Dagan and the Force arm.  I'll definitely get that one.

I like the droid if its a 2 pack with him. I'd get that. Absolutely. I'd probably cancel The 1 armed version just cause I don't need it. But if it ever goes on sale I'd probably grab it to have both.

I pre ordered the Dagan and Droid Amazon Exclusive Gaming Greats set today.  I'll still get the single release Dagan too, so I have him with no arm and with theoretical ghost arm. 

I cancelled the single release. I dont need 2 at full price, unless I really like the figure.I did preorder the 2 pack. I think the droid looks really good. And then getting Dagan too, for less then retail, is actuallt pretty sweet.

YakFace says the Yoda & Gree 2-pack will go up on ShopDisney November 17th for $50. I think a little excitement left me after seeing Landspeeder Luke's review of the pack, but I'll probably still try and get it. I've always wanted Yoda's council seat, and I know the inevitable single release of Yoda down the line wouldn't come with it. Not crazy about the slight markup, or their sometimes hefty shipping cost, but I'll try my best.

Yeah, I just want the Gree/Yoda pack for Yoda and his Council Chair too.  The Episode I 3.75" Yoda and his Council Chair to this day is still one of my all-time favorite Star Wars figures. I have it loose and MOC.  So, I really want this Council Chair for the Black Series.  Gree is cool and all, but to me Gree is just what he looks like in EP III.

     I'll probably just use this 2 Packs Gree as a random green Clone.

My Episode I 3 Pack from GameStop is finally preparing to ship.  They kept pushing back the release date, and I even heard they cancelled some folks' orders without them asking.  Luckily, my pre order was never cancelled and like I mentioned, it says now it is preparing to ship

It seems like the set is in stock now on the site if anyone wants it.

@supercamel-1982 is there any difference between the figures in this set and the figures of the same characters that were previously released?

@normdapito   The figures are the same.  The original Qui Gon and EP I Obi Wan, and then the newer Darth Maul that was released a month or so ago in the Wave with Thrawn and Ahsoka from the Ahsoka show, and Deedra and Cassian from Andor Season 1.  The only thing different or special about this 3 pack is that all the figures come with robes/cloaks.
