Wait. Empire & Jedi had a black person in them. Man, Star Wars was so much better before they went "woke."

@tenime heh, right. But that's the thing. When they feel ownership, I guess every single release needs to be for them? And I don't get it anyway since I don't look like Lando or Nien but man was I right in that cockpit with them during the space battle in ROTJ.

So I was looking at pics of the exclusive Baylan with the cloak. He also has a red lightsaber in the packaging shots they showed. Wtf Hasbro? Not only are you not fixing the height, you're going *back* to the wrong blade too? But, cloak, and exclusive. Still making baffling decisions.

@trunks3540 maybe tomorrow they'll announce a third release, a target exclusive set of Baylan and Shin with correct sabers and height, no cloaks. "But don't worry fans, if you want cloaks, we've got you covered! Heh heh. Just get the upcoming Walmart single packed Baylan and Shin with wrong height and sabers that include cloaks."

The marvel guys said something like that with Thanos when asked if they'd do an armored, undamaged version without the gauntlet. They explained the three versions you could buy to take part and assemble to make it. Very helpful.

I finally got an R5-D4. I am pretty happy with it, even if it has a bad motivator.

Hey, I have a bad motivator (or just bad motivation), but I'm still worthy of love too! I'm looking forward to adding R5 to my collection when his pack with the Pit Droids comes out.

Also, don't give Hasbro any ideas, please. I can totally see them taking credit for the mixing, matching, and kitbashing that fans do. "We technically made this figure because we made all the various parts!"

Though, if a missing cloak was the worst problem they had, I'd still be pretty happy. That's a problem that can be fixed easily enough with a third party seller.

You are, you're right, but I'm still gonna leave you with the Jawas.

They don't need any help from me! That's so Hasbro though.

It IS easily fixed with a third party seller, but SHOULD be included by Hasbro. Damn it!

But yeah, the cloak wasn't why I skipped the first release.

Hey everyone, US.Zavvi has Darth Malak for Buy Now so I grabbed one. They are charging $29.99 though plus shipping.

I didn't think EE would get their pre-orders in which is scheduled around June so I jumped, lol.
