Nice to see Ki-AdiΒ finally made it! I know he's one of the only Jedi allowed to make love, so he's been busy, but geez, man, get it together! 🤣 I have mine pre-ordered through BBTS. Hasn't hit my POL yet, but I'm shipping that bad boy as soon as he does! Hopefully imminently, since I have an item in my POL that has to ship in the next few days.

Other than that, it wasn't too stressful a time while we were away. Definitely missed checking in here on May the 4th. I pre-ordered the Jedi Survivor Droid 3 pack, since I love the Bedlam Raiders paint scheme. Snagged the Enoch & Night Trooper pack as well. Palpatine and the SBD too, and was pleasantly surprised to see their release dates moved up a bit to July. I know nothing is guaranteed, but still. Excited to get the SBD; didn't order the 2 pack with 3P0, but seeing some of the video reviews has given me some slight fomo.

R4 also came from Wal-Mart. He's a nice one! Never been a huge fan of the more cone-shaped droid head, but I really dig his colors. The orange and red pop nicely on the shelf, and he looks really good next to Greef.

My Ki Adi Mundi hasn't shipped yet either from BBTS.Β  Hopefully it does soon.Β  I am really eager to get this one.Β Β 

It did suck not being able to be on these forums on May the 4th.Β  But I did pre order a few things that day.Β  x2 EPIII Sidious, x2 Super Battle Droid, Gree/Yoda 2 Pack, Enoch and Night Trooper pack, Wal-Mart Baylan in cloak, EPI Game Stop 3 Pack, and Hologram Darth Maul from Target. Even though Hologram Maul went up for pre order before May 4th, it was on sale on May 4th for $27.99 instead of $34.99

And I got free shipping since I was ordering something else on that order.

@red_ogre thank you for posting that.Β 

I never got Aphra or her droids so those are my biggest temptation.

Bossk, Ahsoka, and Rex have my attention. Maybe BT-1 too. Great that they’re making Rebels Sabine and Hera available again; those are my two favorites.

Hunter being reissuedΒ finally,Β is such good news.Β  Β I missed the original Hunter release and the Season 2 Hunter didn't scratch the itch.Β  Β But I couldn't pull the trigger on those aftermarket prices.Β  Β  I know the situations was similar with a lot of folks for Crosshair.Β  Β  So it's nice to see these.

Β 

I also missed Plo Koon the first time around so will be nice to get a second retail shot at that one.

Β 

I always appreciate when toy companies recognize the secondary market absurdities for some figures and help out with reissues.

BBTS just sent out preorder notice for Commander Fox and Rex and I'm now trying to remember if I ever got Fox or not. I really need a spreadsheet or something.Β 

I've been sitting on an extra Hunter and Crosshair to hook up another collector so they wouldn't have to pay the aftermarket prices and never got around to it, so I gotta laugh that they're being re-released. Reckon I should've sold them instead of saving them to help someone out! I just don't have it in me to do the whole market-price-on-ebay thing.Β

@ru1977 For this line in particular because of the re-releases. Only line I collect I REGULARLY buy the same figure twice by accident.

I know, it's seriously easy to trip up on all these.

I'm glad to see Plo is being re-issued. I've been wanting to kitbash a Clone Wars version for the longest time, but he's always been a little beyond my price range. I justΒ know that as soon as I do, they'll release an official version in the Clones of the Republic subline.Β

I got some Phase I Clone Troopers in from Hasbro Pulse today. Now if BBTS would just send out my Ki Adi Mundi figure, I'd have this little Fan Channel mini wave complete.

It's nice that they are re-releasing some of these hard-to-get figures.Β  I've stuck with this line from the beginning, so I luckily have all of these that are being re-released, but sometimes I am shocked when a figure gets re-released, because it's been so long, I forgot it came out in the first place lol.

Like, I totally forgot about Commander Fox.Β  I know I had to have got him, because I am a completest and know I keep up on everything every year.Β  But man, I forgot about him.

After securing Ki Adi in the pre-orders, I will probably just need the following to consider my Prequel Jedi collection complete:

Agen Kolar
Saesse Tinn
Shaak Ti
Luminara Unduli
Barriss Offee
Quinlann Vos
Eeth Koth
Adi Gallia
Stass Allie
Oppo Rancisis
Depa Billaba

Even that will takeΒ  to a decade or two if Hasbro keep with their repaints galore of army builders,Β  1 prequel Jedi per year policy.

Not to mention other iconic Jedi like Evan Piell, Yarael Poof, Yaddle, Baltar Swann, Coleman Trebo, K' Kruhk, Master Tholme, Tr'a Saa, Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama.

Admittedly some of these are deep cuts from the Legends continuity glory days that I refuse to let go of. I'm just looking for Hasbro to reimburse my 3.75" collection with Black Series counterparts, is that too much to ask??
