I have one Plo Koon, but want a Clone Wars version. It should be a fairly easy custom. I tried doing a spreadsheet at the beginning of this year and I kept up with it for exactly one day. My current method of tracking orders is just sorting the confirmation emails into a folder labeled "purchases" and flagging anything I don't have in hand.

Fox must be forgetable. I too had to check my Excel spreadsheet to see if I had him.

I just got an e-mail from Pulse saying the Destroyer Droid/Droideka would be shipping soon.  I didn't realize that would be coming this month.  But it's another Prequel figure, so I am more than happy to get it.  I think I pre ordered x2 of them.

Been watching Yak Face's Insta posts about all the figures arriving in the US now, and it's looking like there might be another wave of "lots of pre-orders hitting all at once" again. Not that I really mind it, but my poor wallet. But I'm excited to get some of these bad boys that have been on my list for a long while- Droidekas, Super Battle Droids, Ki-Adi, Palpatine, etc., along with some of the newer ones like the Acolyte figs, which I think look pretty good.

Speaking of, we get a little glimpse of the lightsaber whip in the newest Acolyte teaser. It looks pretty good from the half second clip we see. Wonder how that's gonna translate to figure form.

I haven't seen the trailer but Hasbro did pretty good with the energy whip back in the day. (Of course, Hasbro did a lot of things better with Star Wars back in the day, IMO)

Ah Lumiya. I finally gave up on Hasbro and got a 3d printed head.

@joshsquash729 

Man, so all that stuff you mentioned is supposed to be in the US?

Ki Adi, Droideka, EPIII Sidious, Super Battle Droid, and even The Acolyte Wave?

That is nuts.  Sidious, SBD, and The Acolyte Wave weren't supposed to be until October.  I really hate how NOT CORRECT Hasbro is on all their Pre order Arrival times.  Cause we end up just getting flooded.  I love all the stuff I get from Hasbro (Marvel Legends, GI Joe, and of course Black Series), but I don't like paying for 10 or so products, per line, each month.

I used to just not pre order some stuff and pick it up at my leisure over time.  But since Hasbro has had such bad sales, thus are now making less quantity, it seems like some stuff sells out quicker than it used to.  So, I just pre order and am unfortunately at Hasbro's mercy so i don't miss anything.

All that complaining aside, I am psyched for all this stuff. Ki Adi is my most anticipated, I have wanted EPIII Sidious since the line began, and I love getting Jedi, and the Acolyte wave is full of them.

I keep my Black Series buys to a minimum but did order Sidious (finally!) and a droideka, and would totally be up for nabbing a Trip and BT reissue to keep Aphra and Krrsantan company. I would like a Rex too but can wait until they do new version with the latest mould.

Just opened up Ki-Adi-Mundi and I know a lot of us are a little biased about our love for Jedi councilors with very few lines of dialogue, but I absolutely love this figure. I'm actually kind of glad they waited to make him because of how nice the face print is. Lots of unique sculpt stuff I wasn't expecting and it uses that newer wrist hinge I haven't seen much of but works really well for a Jedi. He just looks like the aging alien samurai type. 

What I wouldn't give to write a solo script about this dude in his youth or something. As always, the way the random characters in Star Wars inspires the imagination is the best thing about this franchise sometimes.

Tales of the Jedi really could be an on-going, 20-something episodes a season kinda series. Pre-Clone Wars, pre-PT era, etc.

Can't believe I didn't realise the Yoda/Gree set was Pulse and it sold out before I realised.

 

Hopefully there will be some in stock once pre-orders ship and if not then I'll just hope Yoda gets a single release for ROTS anniversary next year.

 

Great to see all the PT love with these reveals. Filling some much needed gaps in my collection.

 

Really hope we get some ST figures in the future. I need Crait Luke, TROS Lando and a photoreal update of Leia. Plus Ben Solo and Sith Eternal Palpatine (not to mention updates  for Finn & Poe).

@chrislyne Y'know, I'm not desperate for ST figures but they really have completely abandoned that era, haven't they. I always wanted at least an EIX Poe if nothing else.

Yeah, they really did give up on ST figures.  But I guess they figured they wouldn't sell well.  I wish they'd do a few more.  Just one at a time here and there.

I'd love to finish the Knights of Ren, get EPIX Poe, Finn, and Rey with her Yellow Saber.  And Ben Solo, Palpatine, Jedi Training Flashback Leia and Luke, and old man Lando.

For the record, I have no interest in any ST figures at all. I have TFA Kylo, TLJ Rey, and BB-8, and that's gonna be it for me from the trilogy. That said, they should AT LEAST finish the Knights of Ren and do the main trio from ROS like you guys mentioned. Lando would be reeeeeeeally nice to have alongside the ST Han, Leia, Luke, and Chewie though.

I do not need any more Palpatine figures, but they got me with that Sidious and... I know already I'd be VERY tempted by a ROS Emperor. Putting aside all the plot gymnastics and (what I saw as) lazy writing, he looked awesome in that movie at least.
