Those Gunships will be tempting. But no shark one from the original Clone Wars cartoon?

I finally decided to pull the trigger on a price dropped Millennium Falcon. It's really cool & I love finally having some representation of this ship in my collection, but talking about no way to get individual figures for these, I find it pretty annoying that they didn't include farmboy Luke with this set. Leave out Leia or Obi Wan, they were never on the ship together, but Luke really should be in there. Image

I found two of the Target exclusive Gunships, the green one and the Senate one. They ring up as $30, so the reports of them being $40 were wrong or the price is currently wrong. I picked up the Senate one as I don't find the green one's deco to be that interesting. All 4 versions have the same codes. DCPI 087-26-7747. TCIN 86524671.

Yes. I posted a screengrab from a livestream last page.

Some tidbits I saw from a livestream about this line:

-Walmart will have a "battle pack class" exclusive.
-Y-Wing and C-3PO will be in wave 4.
-complete Bad Batch team by series 4.
-new poses for familiar characters will be coming, like Jedi Luke.
-Series 3 will be revealed this month (January).

I don't need anything else to spend my money on in 2023 but if the Sandcrawler shows up, I won't be able to resist.

Saw the gunships at Target for the first time, panicked up the one I wanted (Crumb Bomber).

Makes me wish they’d do some army building packs, like a four pack of clones and stormtroopers. To fully fill up the gunships and Imperial Troop Transports. I’d buy a bunch. Battle Droids, ARC troopers, snowtroopers, death troopers, dark troopers, Mandos painted in Death Watch and Maul factions…

That might not be a bad idea for blind packs, especially for collectors who just wanted troops of every flavor. It would suck for someone who only wanted Jawas for his Sandcrawler, though.

That said, something tells me their licensing agreement doesn't allow them to sell figures separately. They'd have to be accessories for a vehicle.

Oh boy, would I hate for them to be blind packs. But army building battle packs with a small vehicle could be cool too. Four scout troopers with a couple of speeder bikes, four sandtroopers with a dewback, Tuskens with a bantha, battle droids with a couple of STAPs...

I despise blind packaging so if there's any other way to offer troop-building SKUs, I'm all for it. Everything you mentioned makes sense but I'm still trying to figure out a way to offer more clone troopers and stormtroopers to fill those gunships and inevitable Juggernauts.

Maybe a mail-away premium is a viable loophole.

With the original LAAT wing cannon bubbles shipping as reversed (and I never saw any corrected versions of the original ship in-store) and seeing these have been corrected / flipped on the newer troop-builder ships, did anyone here try removing those bubbles on the original wings? I would love to swap them myself but they don't seem to have any wiggle room to get them off there. Any success stories on this would be great to hear.
