How awesome is this wave!? This year has been the year for the best VC figures in my book! Who plans to get all if not some of these figures? I mean VC Ahsoka,Republic Trooper from the Old Republic! Now Hasbro needs to release Satele Shan and then we have most of the coolest characters from that game!

Loving that Obi-wan and Ashoka. Too bad we'llnever see them on the pegs.

Maybe some day we will! If not, save the date 5-4-13... WE strike back.

Click here for an up-close look at a few of the figures from this wave with their accessories being shown off differently for Sandtroopers! You won't find shots like these anywhere else.

Dude by any chance do you know when will the CW Maul Returns bp be released? And can you seperate Maul's lightsaber off instead of having him hold it by the red thing?

Are these supposed to be Walmart exlusives and when are they supposed to hit shelves. All i'm seeing in Sacramento are TPM vingate figures.

So what's everyone thinking about this incredibly cool wave being only available on the Internet?

I mean, I guess it's not surprising, but yikes! It just sucks to think that all of these awesome figures won't grace the pegs and that it'll be super difficult to get multiples of anything. And a lot of these figures like the Royal Guard and Nien Nunb (and arguably Obi-Wan and Ahsoka) are absolute must-haves for most people and their collections!

Personally I think it's a slap in the face of those like myself who have been collecting forever.

If they are going to have an internet sales, they need to be preordered and have a minium of two per order. One to open one to collect.

Amen! & don't make me go to nefarious for scalping websites to get exclusives.
Has Hasbro just given up? I have to put in extra effort while they put in none.

I was really looking forward to building a squad of the expanded universe republic troopers but that will not happen unless they put them in a different collection -- greatest hits??? whatever these numb skulls decide to do.. it will be a mess. perhaps it will be a less articulated version like the animated Republic commando Boss... PASS then!!! That reminds me to order another case of Warlordarians!!! At least I know I can get them rather than see a PRE-ORDER FAIL (IE the Mando Shuttle)

theradioactivecat · « **Reply #14 on:** August 05, 2012, 09:46:18 AM »

I went ahead and preordered the "final" vintage wave case through Entertainment Earth, and bought the "lost line" wave case for good measure. All told it will cost about $12 per figure, but at least I won't have to drive around and burn gas in futility.

After I get these two cases, I'll just be missing Arc Trooper, VC93 Vader, Navy Commander, Malgus, Odd Ball, Starkiller, Shae Vizla, and Jocasta Nu (still on the fence about this one).

I went ahead and ordered the last wave as well.Nice enough of Hasbro to really make the Republic trooper hard to get.At C6 I am going to have some hard questions for them.

Take them to Seaworld & WATER BOARD them? Its WAY past time for answers from them & what they are doing & NOT doing.

sithmasterc · « **Reply #17 on:** August 06, 2012, 06:05:10 AM »

Well maybe not questions but hard comments on how they distributed the figures.I should have been more clear I know.

darthdan · « **Reply #18 on:** August 07, 2012, 07:51:04 PM »

So bbts reopened the preorders for this wave so I preordered it. Last waves are always short at retail.

sithmasterc · « **Reply #19 on:** August 11, 2012, 08:32:38 AM »

This really reminds me of the EU wave that TRU had back in 2010.Our TRU never saw those.The distribution of that wave was BS.The only TRU that ever saw a case of that wave was Birmingham and Montgomery.I had to get mine second hand.Thi last wave is an Internet only deal.Amazon has these for preorder individually.

I ordered the ones I wanted from Amazon. They are the best because they charge the same for all the figures...no premiums for the more desirables...and free shipping!

Yeah I already ordered the whole case off amazon but I definitely wanted extras of a few of them so I pre ordered them off amazon too. Good thing they have them to order single! Expect them to be crushed though cause they might come in a bubble wrap package.. Almost every time that the figs go for that price is cause they send them in such bad conditions...

pshorrock72 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2012, 09:42:58 PM »

I was able to pre- order 2 single republic troopers = that is all I wanted out of that assortment.. hopefully they will be re-released... come on Hasblo!!! these are troopers not some obscure figure like willrow hood..
