After the rancor failure, nightbrother warrior figure mass cancelation at GameStop, the mess of the Walmart preorder and price hikes….yup….the Star Wars team needs to get the narrative changed fast. Better be some massive amounts of good news here.

This whole Fans Wednesday in a nutshell

ThorOdinson123 · 02-09-2022, 09:47 AM

Hasbro is gonna put up for pre-order the black series wave with Rosario Ashoka tomorrow. They are literally skipping the Fennec Shand Tython Wave. Those still can't be found on any major retailers yet

Comedian · 02-09-2022, 09:56 AM

I take back my comments. Holy god in heaven. That playset is beyond words. That is something that belongs in a museum.

That set is awesome but $230 is nuts. If they ever re-do the Rancor it'll be $450+.

Tony_Bacala · 02-09-2022, 10:04 AM

I appreciate the Throne Room, but I want it in 6.

If they did it in 6, the 3.75 guys would say the same thing.

A throne platform, throne, Boba and Fennec pack would be nice in 6 tho.

Comedian · 02-09-2022, 10:15 AM

I don’t think 6” scale can support giant items like this. Thrones….yes. But world building will be for the vintage collection.

IzzyTipsy · 02-09-2022, 10:17 AM

LOL, did they just essentially drop a Haslab on us that's not a Haslab?

It would be nice, but if a 3.75" throne room is $230, then a 6" throne room would be at least $500!

I'm not a Vintage collector, but if I have that throne room, I'd be so worry about it all the time, so many pieces to lose! Details are nice though.

Maybe it was supposed to be the 3 3/4" Star Wars Haslab, it would be in line with the 3 3/4" $200+ Skystriker, but after what happened to the Rancor, they decided to just make it.

ThorOdinson123 · 02-09-2022, 10:33 AM

I may pre-order Ashoka tomorrow. Just getting annoyed its taking so long for Fennec to hit the main online retaliers.

eko32eko7 · 02-09-2022, 10:35 AM

Its weird. Typically I have no money because I buy action figures and that makes me sad. Now I will have lots of money because there are no action figures to buy and that makes me sad.

Fennec and the rest of the wave have been on bbts and dorkside for a while.

Unless you meant in stock?

Cyclopswc · 02-09-2022, 11:12 AM

I think he meant mass retailers, like Amazon, Walmart and Target.

emeraldnite · 02-09-2022, 11:30 AM

I will be getting that throne room--but a 1/12 scale throne for BS Boba would be awesome as well.

yes exactly that. Fennec has only been on BBTS Dorkside and EE since she was announced in December of 2021 . I have money saved on Amazon for her.

Roc74 · 02-09-2022, 12:20 PM

No black series Jedi Luke reissue yet? :-(

jscott991 · 02-09-2022, 12:31 PM

We are overdue for Aayla Secura, but I was hoping she would be based on her Clone Wars appearance and not the live action films. Oh well.

Wasn't her Clone Wars look the same (just cartoonified)?

The outfit and color scheme are the same. Maybe the differences between the two figures would be minimal.

But Clone Wars Anakin and Clone Wars Kenobi figures look a lot different from Hayden- and McGregor-based figures.

The cartoonified version would look a lot better if it were done in the same style as the previous Clone Wars BS figures.

What exactly does "Pulse exclusive" mean for international (non-UK) fans? ????

snake5289 · 02-09-2022, 03:07 PM

The throne is cool but too pricey for me.

When it says "Mandalorian Commando" are those the guys with the Darth Maul looking helmets?

They didn't all have the horned helmets but going off of the picture shown it is still going to be one of Maul's followers. The Walmart exclusive "Super Commando" had the horned helmet.

snake5289 · 02-09-2022, 03:44 PM

Cool. I'd definitely like to pick one of those guys up.

It means you're SOL...
Just like Canada is with the US
