The new four-pack is up on Pulse and the trooper/battle droid two-pack is there as well as on Amazon. 

I ordered the 4 pack and x2 of the Clone/Battle Droid 2 pack.  

I didn't realize the Clone/Battle Droid pack was on Amazon as well.  Even though I pre ordered x2 of the set from Hasbro Pulse, I may have to pre order a set or two from Amazon as well.  Strictly for research purposes of course.

If it's for science, then yeah you kinda have to.

Had a silly but gratifying moment today. As a kid, I used to get in SO much trouble for playing with female action figures (my Dad wasn't a great guy, to put it super simply). This extended to Star Wars figures, even though SW was one of the few things my Dad and I both mutually loved. Phantom Menace was my first theatrical SW movie, so naturally I was in love with the toy line. My sister had the Naboo battle Padme, and I always wanted to play with it to recreate the final battle, but every time I got my hands on it, I got in so much trouble. Always broke my heart as a kid. Well, all these years later, I finally got the Black Series version, and ain't nobody taking that away from me! Definitely felt a little part of me lighten a little- my inner kid is happy.

Now, all nostalgia and bias aside, she's a nice little figure! Not perfect, but solid. The face scan looks really nice in person, and she holds both her guns well (though the only one I'll display her with is the small silver pistol). I'm glad we got this look- we need more Padme rep in general. I'd still love her Tatooine peasant look, the iconic red Amidala dress, and an ep 3 Padme.

Jesus. But also...

I've been thinking of getting the Neca Warduke figure because he said I couldn't have the old one back in the day because he looked "like a sissy boy". So maybe I should pull that trigger and get that ssme satisfaction you got.

@ru1977 The NECA Warduke is magnificent. I keep waiting to pull the trigger on Strongheartt, Elkhorn to go with him. 

My Padme got pushed back a few days, was originally supposed to be here today. I've been really looking forward to her but given the absolute blizzard of Hasbro figures I've had land on me the past few days I'm okay waiting til the weekend. I need a breather.

I love that we're getting Black Series figures of versions we saw in that first wave of Phantom Menace figures back in the day. I used to work around the corner from a mall with a Kay-Bee Toys and I remember shyly scoping out the figures before the movie even came out, trying to figure out who everyone would be in the film (Ki-Adi-Mundi always sticks in my mind for that reason), thinking I couldn't afford the figures, I was juuust old enough to feel silly buying them, and trying to get in and out of the store without being seen. It's amazing to be a middle aged guy with a bit of cash to burn on toys and working in nerdy storytelling for a living so I don't feel like I have to hide this stuff anymore. 

Looks like the Target exclusive Ahsoka Clone sets are shipping now. It even appears Target is honoring the half off price they put them up at. Just getting ahead of the clearancing I guess 🤣 

Do we know if the Ahsoka Clone 2 pack is on the new Clone body? I missed out on the pre-order and will probably never see them in stores anyway, but I'm curious. Never did pick up Appo, so I don't think I've been able to experience the new Clone body yet (take that however you will)

Got Baylan and Shin from BBTS. The sabers are red. I'm a little bummed about it. I really wanted these figures. Now I'm debating on either leaving them in package, in case maybe they're collectors items some day, or taking them out and buying orange replacement blades. But I'm also wondering if maybe I should just wait till they do their own fixed versions as well, since those should come with orange blades. And then I'd have to buy the figures to replace the legs as well. But still, these figures have been a cluster fuck, and I'm fairly annoyed.

I may be wrong, but I do think your Shin has the orange saber. It's a very subtle orange, and definitely still has a fair amount of red in it. Mine does, but in the right light it definitely comes off more orange than red. But it may be a lighting thing in your picture too; either way, it's hard to tell. It's certainly not the same orange as in something like the Fallen Order games.

Agreed that Baylan and Shin were both rushed out. I get the popularity of the characters and wanting to have product out not too long after the show, but I don't think anyone can disagree they needed to cook a little longer. I just hope the prospect of a redo doesn't get lost in the shuffle of all the new things coming out. I'm sure they'll get new figures whenever season 2 comes out, and depending on who plays Baylan, the height may not even be a problem anymore, but still. Hoping for a 2 pack that fixes the issue sooner rather than later. Only issue is that unloading the old figures in that scenario will probably be next to impossible.

I wonder if they got rushed into production upon the news of Stevenson's passing. Like, they were next up and almost ready but the word came to pull the product and Hasbro said "oops - already going!" and that's why they had to fix the sabers and the heights are all wrong - and why TVC has neither of these characters.

It's a weird thought, but honestly, it's not too far-fetched. Doesn't explain the re-release with cloak... or does it...

Have y'all heard Hasbro say they won't make figures of kid characters? That's why we don't have Little Leia or Luke? TPM Anakin is grandfathered in. I asked on another site and someone responded with that info and I asked for the source and it wasn't provided. I assume this applies only to live-action since we've gotten two of the Bad Batch kid. If true, such a weird stance.

You'd think wee Boba would happen then, especially since they can do a repaint as a general clone release.

I know the feeling. My dad didn't forbid me from playing with female characters...but he really didn't like it. I remember being about five and wanting the Lt. Uhura Mego (I'm old) and my dad asking why I'd want a toy of a girl. I remember telling him "how is Captain Kirk going to talk to the other ships if Uhura isn't there?". He begrudgingly allowed me to get her, but it really bothered him. I had to downplay wanting characters like Princess Leia when the Kenner Star Wars figures debuted, telling him "yeah, I want her so Luke and Han have someone to rescue" or some such. So ridiculous. 

On top of that, my parents were (and are) extremely right-wing evangelical Christians, so there was a whole lot I was either outright forbidden from having, or I had to tell them some BS about the characters so I could get the toy. Things like D&D & Clash of the Titans were "Satanic", so I was prohibited from buying them. I'd have to wait until I visited my grandparents to buy any of those, and then tell my parents they were from some other line or what-not. 

On the plus side, I learned that forbidding a child to have something just made them want it more, so when I had kids I took a far different approach. Crazy the crap some of us went through, when we should have just been allowed to be kids!

Right, some people really focus on things that make no sense to me. On the other hand, my brother in law is a big, macho, jock, muscle head veteran tough guy but never forbids his son from wearing my daughter's skirts when they come over, and buys that boy every Barbie he asks for, so.... Some parents do simply love their kids at least.
