Anybody seen the K-2S0 Jakks Pacific Big Figs figure in Melbourne? Looked in Target, Big W, Myer City and K-Mart and had no luck. :(

This is the one: https://www.bigw.com.au/product/star...0000000380987/

However, a new one has popped up for Wave 6:

http://www.premiumcollectables.com.a...es-wave-6-case

This one is unclear what you are actually getting and I already have the Rey/BB-8 one so I may sit it out until they post more details. From what I can gather by googling these names listed appear to be code names for some of the new characters. Is anyone else ordering this case?

Ok so I had to go back digging through my order history, it seems I have ordered the wave 7, 8 and 9 cases. I posted about receiving wave 7 a while ago. Wave 8(6?) is the one that seems to have disappeared with no description on the site but I have still paid for it. Wave 9 should be due soon hopefully since the figures are out overseas. I emailed PC about my wave 9 status so when they get back to me about it I will also ask what is going on with the mystery one.

Yes as I discussed pre Christmas, the characters initially listed for Wave 7 were all new ones from Rogue one (which were in fact meant to be in wave 8 - Krennic etc). They then changed it to the actual wave 7 characters including the repack of Rey and Kylo. The wave 6 they initially listed with the Rey and Kylo repack got changed after we ordered to be called Wave 8 and is the one with Krennic.

I've got Wave 9 on order also.

Awesome pricing on the Black Series figures. I need to pick up Krennic, C-3PO and the Scarif Stormtrooper from wave 8 so I'll check out my local TRU.

a few people have said in FB groups that hasbro australia has these figures in the country but retailers haven't asked for them since they still have so many shelfwarming flametroopers and old han etc from force awakens :/ i too need krennic and scarif troopers etc. i'm not too fussed about 3po though. PC has a wave 10 case available, it would mean i get an extra jyn and cassian that i would need to sell off, im fine with an extra death trooper. it still leaves the scarif trooper though... argh haha

Interesting feedback, thanks. I don't know why Jyn, Cassian and Deathtrooper are in 3 waves (7,8 and 10)? Seems like there will be some more shelfwarming.

Just a question for those who order waves from PC - what's the most recent wave you've received?
17th January 2017, 11:37 AM
philby

the only one i've received so far was the initial rogue one wave with jyn, cassian, k-2, death trooper, rey and unmasked kylo

That's what I'm afraid of. I'd been keen to pre-order Wave 11 as I'd want virtually all of them but considering how they can be slow to hit I'd be annoyed waiting. :P

Anyone have any good suggestions of reasonable places to pre-order?

thelittletoycompany and mad zombie i think do pre-orders, have you checked there?
19th January 2017, 05:50 PM

I know the little toy company, no pre-orders available yet so I'll keep checking. Not heard of mad zombie so will check them out, thanks mate.

Thanks! Picked up a Darth Revan at a decent non-scalpery price.

Damn that was quick, how much was he/the wave?
25th January 2017, 10:27 AM

It was $37. There was only 5 when I checked so 4 left at around 1.40pm.

Darth Revan is back in stock at Little Toy Company:

Is it at all known when in 2017 the 6" Black Series wave with the Emperor�s Royal Guard will be available?
7th February 2017, 02:46 AM
Darth_Malificent

The Royal Guard wave will likely be on display at Toy Fair in New York City this month and probably available in the summertime around San Diego Comic-Con. Nothing has been announced beyond that wave yet so I don't think it will be part of the Autumn lineup.

Ok I just got notification from PC that my 'wave 9' order is now on the way:

1x SW E4 PRINCESS LEIA ORANGE
1x SW E5 AT AT DRIVER
1x SW E4 OBI WAN KENOBI
1x SW R SABINE WREN
1x SW DARTH REVAN
1x SW E5 SNOWTROOPER

I asked about the 'mystery' wave which I have on order but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Little Toy Company has the Revan wave all back in stock.

I just had a good chat with someone from Myer about this and they corroborated that feedback. Basically the Rogue One Star Wars stuff hasn't been selling as well as The Force Awakens which is why new stock isn't being brought in yet.

I was in Minotaur in Melbourne at lunchtime and they have the usual suspects Rey, Finn, Flametrooper etc) but also Darth Revan, AT-AT Driver, Snowtrooper, Obi Wan, Baze Malbus, Chirrut Imwe and the T.I.E. Fighter Pilot (my first time seeing these in the wild). The downside is that they are grossly overpriced at $50 a pop.
10th February 2017, 08:16 PM

Ooh, Chirrut and Baze have hit the country? Nice. Hope mine ship soon.

The static element sucks, but if they make up for it with great paint apps (not holding my breath with Hasbro :)) with great backdrops, those 3.75" figures look great for the price and would be a great addition to any collection.

Yeah, ultimately they're all just a $35 keycode in the inventory system. If stores are sitting on high quantites, well, no more new stock :(

I put my order in, but if I find a cheaper option, then I'll just cancel and go elsewhere
