I saw this at a Walgreens, of course the only one they didn't have from the wave was the one I was looking for (TIE pilot), but I will say this guy looked neat. I passed since I only get OT right now, but I like to think that maybe someone who actually really wanted this might of found it there where I left it. Now lets get ready for for Hasbro to redo it again in red, blue, and yellow. Why stop there, do a mucky sand sprayed version of the regular one from that part where they were trooping through the sand storm. Seriously though I don't want these guys to become regular in the series just with different decos until maybe later in the line.

The Clone Sergeant has been a tough pass for me lately.
I've convinced myself that until Hasbro gives us 6" figures of Quinlan Vos, Aayla Secura, or heck, even Ahsoka (even though we'll most likely never see any of them in 6" form), I don't have any need for any Clones in my collection. However, they look good, and I've enjoyed this line a lot so far (well, when I can actually find them ) so leaving him on the shelf/pegs has been difficult.

I feel like any non-movie character is going to be a while off from now, especially with a new movie coming out this year and they only have like 6 waves since the line started July-ish 2013 so I would imagine we'll get like 4 or maybe 5 waves this year considering repack waves and there's a chance those waves will become Episode VII preview figures ahead of the movie. C'mon Hasbro you got like 4 waves to give us Lando and Mace Windu and not even a full 4 waves since we already know like what 2 of these upcoming waves will be.
Like you pointed out, there are so many important charcters from the movies who still need figures, and the upcoming Episode VII is going to introduce SOOO many new characters as well. And even though Aayla had brief appearances in Episodes II and III, there are plenty of other Jedi who are featured more prominently in the movies who I would imagine would get figures first. Also, now that the previous EU has been basically eradicated to make way for the new Disney-approved EU, and because Disney has largely shown nothing but animosity towards the Clone Wars, those characters have an even smaller chance of ever being made. But, oh well... maybe if the Black series continues well into the new Trilogy, maybe Hasbro will give us a wave of currently out-of-continuity characters. Lol, I'm not gonna get my hopes up though.

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely not holding my breath for any new EU characters or any characters from the Clone Wars animated series. While the Shadow Squadron set was a nice EU surprise, it was most likely a one-time occurrence.

I've ranted too much already. General point: I'd like to see some EU/non-canonical/debatable canon characters get 6" toys but not until the movies get fair treatment first.

Yeah, when I saw Yoda at Walgreens I was a little upset about the deal of his size yet still full price. As someone has said on the ark before though, we don't have to pay more for the big guys like Chewie so there's a small sliver of comfort in the price being flat for all figures. Great pics (especially that last one), but I didn't know Yoda had so much junk in his trunk.

I actually like how the Stormtroopers have their fingers in the safety position, it makes it easier to insert or remove the weapons. So yeah, you're right, TIE pilot is on the edge. He's five days to retirement and he'll make damned sure he gets there in one piece.

SUPER great shots there. I am in LOVE with that last one with the Tie in the back. Needs to be a desktop background.

Thanks! Unfortunately I had to use the Tie Advanced from Rebels, so if it's done wide angle rather than square, it won't be "vintage". I cheated a bit there, it's close enough blurred out like that.
