Star Wars toys & merchandise sighting

[Tober]

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.

Cool, thanks.

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.

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?

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.

The Reject Shop has those 3.75-inch Star Wars assorted figures for $5 each (was $10).

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

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.

[The Ghost]

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.
