Wow, that Luke looks wayyy better than the test shots from the summer. Restored my faith. Obi wan is still a bit weak tho. Bring em on!

Nexodusrex · 10-30-2013, 09:33 AM

I'm disappointed Kenobi doesnt have his robe, considering Maul had his.
Is this a 3 man wave?

BEAM · 10-30-2013, 10:41 AM

Kenobi is the first true pass for me of the 6" BS line. The other 2 are outstanding. Might have to grab 2 Stormies.

I'd like to think there will be two stormtroopers in the case. But no, it will be two Obi-Wans :/

Andy Carruthers · 10-30-2013, 11:05 AM

Something about Kenobi does seem weird and I'm surprised he didn't come with his robe and the Magnaguard staff thing.

HA! QFT. Double up on the PT figure rather than the troop builder.

For $20, they all should come with more. Luke should have some Dagobah stuff (lantern, crate, something) or a battle damaged head. Obi should have a either a robe, Magnaguard staff, blaster, something. If they did it with Maul, Han Solo, and Sandtrooper, they can do it with this wave.

trebleshot · 10-30-2013, 11:45 AM

I will definitely snag Luke whenever I see him. As for the others, probably pass. At $20 a pop, I have to be very picky with this line.

BEAM · 10-30-2013, 11:53 AM

I was all in for Waves 1 & 2. This wave I'll be picky. Hasbro better tread lightly. They've had 2 solid waves. This better be a slight dip and not a trend, especially if they double pack Obi (which would be case suicide).

I think Anikin (from eps 3) is the 4th fig, but can't seem to find a list online at the moment.

JamesBenjamin · 10-30-2013, 12:00 PM

Found someone else saying it, though no "official" confirmation anywhere I can find:

Well, from this very site, Hasbro released photos of wave 3 at Star Wars Celebration Germany and no Anakin listed, shown or mentioned.

My guess is he's out. They have in package shots of the other 3. If he's being released, I doubt it's this wave. I'm glad. One PT figure per wave is enough for me.

snake5289 · 10-30-2013, 12:14 PM

That Luke looks great. May have to be my first SW Black purchase.

It would be great to get 2 Stormies then, but I guess we'll have to wait till BBTS/EE lists them to be sure.

Tony_Bacala · 10-30-2013, 01:55 PM

Yeah, they announced Ep 3 Anakin at NYCC, but, didn't say what wave he would be in. And in all press for Wave 3, including these press shots, we only see 3. It's possible Anakin is the 4th, but I would really prefer 2 Troopers. I think a lot of folks would be happy with that. BBTS only lists pre orders from Hasbro when the official solicits go out, and I don't see Wave 3 listed yet, so no way to tell officially. In my limited research of the situation anyway.

JamesBenjamin · 10-30-2013, 02:10 PM

They may have figured out the relative shortages of the sandtrooper warrants putting the stormie 2x to a case. While I know most people won't army build at $20, I can't imagine anyone not buying 2 or 3 at least.

ludovicotek · 10-30-2013, 02:15 PM

^ I thought there would be a shortage of Sandtroopers, too, but I can't tell you how many times I've seen them in stores. I bought 5 of them and passed on many more. Maybe it's my area, but as long as this line continues to sell, I don't see there being a shortage of any figure really.

I will definitely be troop building the Stormtroopers. They look great.

I've seen more 6 inch on shelves than I expected, but they do seem to be moving after that first rush. Just slower than I expected. Most of the times I've seen a case put out, the Sandtrooper is missing first. So there is some doubling up going on, or, people really really like the Sandtrooper and not the rest.

Starscream99 · 10-30-2013, 03:24 PM

Low accessory count is really disappointing. Stormtrooper, whatever. Not much you can pack with him, but Luke and Obi Wan should've came with more stuff. I'm completist right now with this line, but if they keep this up I'll just pick and choose.

Dr Kain · 10-30-2013, 08:51 PM

Where the **** is Vader??? They have even released a pointless character like Greedo before Vader.

It's to sucker us in for a repaint or exclusive with the robe.

Optimus Neeson · 10-30-2013, 09:52 PM

Luke and Obi-wan's heads look too small, especially Obi-wan.

I'm positive he'll be coming in a future wave. They can't do a SW line without him. Hasbro probably doesn't want to put out all of the main OT characters at once and risk OT fans losing interest in the line.

And Greedo wasn't pointless. He was there to show the audience that Han was a badass.

(H.S.F.)

Does anyone know when these will be released?
