PC has put up a couple new listings for the Star Wars Black Series figures.

I ordered this Wave 7 yesterday because it seems to be all new figures and mostly from Rogue One.

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

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?

I ended up ordering both cases. for Wave 7, I'm not sure if this will come out as advertised because Hasbro has apparently delayed the Leia figure for some time, since it looks crap lol. For wave 6, I've seen a picture that shows the new droid, jyn erso, a deathtrooper cassian andor, the revised rey & bb8 and the unmasked kylo ren so thats what should be in that case.

I also have the rey already and the exclusive unmasked kylo ren so hopefully i can sell those off. buying the case means the figures are $25 so with that price I think hopefully it wont be too hard to move them on

Thanks for the tip mate. Searched for it on ebay and saw the pic of the wave 6 case and it matches the figures you listed. Thing is that Wave 7 that I've already bought also has Jyn Erso and the Imperal Death Trooper as per the PC listing.

This is my first time buying a Star Wars wave from PC. Have you received previous waves from PC? If so do they ship the case in another box with some packing paper or do they just ship it in the case as is? I ask because when I ordered 2x G1 Trypticon in 2015 they came in the shipping case only and arrived with some damage to the packaging.

it could be for army building to have the troopers in 2 cases? although from what i understand at the moment they would just put 2 in one case. with Jyn it could be so there is more to go around? maybe they want to avoid the situation with force awakens where after the movie comes out and rey is the hero, everyone wants a rey figure but can't get one because they were scared it might not do so well and didn't distribute as much? i dunno how they make up the cases

ive never ordered anything like this from anyone before so i have no idea how it will come! i ordered the sdcc/celebration exclusive kylo ren and that just came in a box with a bit of fish and chip style paper scrunched up around it. definitely on the cheaper/less effort side of things compared to figures i have bought from other stores or even individuals on FB.

My wave 6 case order arrived yesterday but I was out so just picked it up from the post office this morning. The figures were taken out of the case and re-packed in a star track parcel box with some paper. I also had my hasbro titans return galvatron in there as well (finally haha). So I can't be completely sure that they will take everyone's case figures out of whatever box hasbro sends them and re-pack them or if they did that for me cause another order was sent with it.

Just followed up on my Wave 7 pre order. It seems the 1st wave of Rogue One Black Series which PC originally listed as Wave 6 in the link is now directing to Wave 8. I only ordered Wave 7 because Wave 6 had Rey and Kylo Ren which I already had, whereas Wave 7 characters in the description were all new characters. Now the description on the PC page for Wave 7 has been removed. It looks like I'm now getting the 1st wave in Rogue One which means I'll have duplicate Rey and Kylo's plus I'll have to chase down these new characters which are in Wave 8 as per Entertainment Earth (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/pr...SB3834H#desc):

1x SW R1 DIRECTOR KRENNIC
1x SW R1 SCARIF STORMTROOPER SQUAD LEADER
1x SW E7 C-3PO RESISTANCE BASE

I've emailed PC to clarify this. This may be the last time I order cases given the confusion and case revisions that can occur.
