... I already have those Bespin guards on pre-order from them though. So I'm going to see if I can cancel that and go through another reputable seller I know of.

"It is done then." $7 more per piece, but oh well. :shrug:

Edit: and the ARC Trooper finally arrived... packaging in mediocre condition, as expected. :rolleyes:

My new acquisitions!

The ARC trooper is taller than my other clone trooper figures. :vulcan:

Also I got the recently released TIE pilot, which I think is a repaint or re-release of a figure from several years ago. It has the forward-and-backward-only hip articulation instead of ball joints. But it's a cool figure.

The ARC Trooper might use the new Clone body made for the 2020 Episode II Clone Lieutenant and regular white Clone figures and that new mold might be taller than the older Clone bodies. That TIE Pilot - if your'e referring to the Vintage Collection release from last year - is a repaint of the 2011 Vintage Collection TIE Pilot with just a few changes including a more realistic face with better paint apps. They even share the same number, VC65. It's just a way to rerelease older Vintage Collection figures for newer collectors who weren't around for the first releases or didn't care at the time.

Yes, indeed. There are several figures announced that are a lot of repaints/repacks/rereleases from the early VC years, including Old Republic Bounty Hunter and Trooper figures. Also the Royal Guard figure that is up for preorder on Entertainment Earth.
 
The Junkman delivers another intriguing video....

I think I pre-ordered the royal guard. Or two. I'm losing track of all this stuff.

Kor
Well, if you don't need them ;)

It's funny because I recall going over old catalogs and seeing those cards.
 
I just managed to get in a preorder for the Vintage Collection Koska Reeves through Target! :biggrin:
Checking their site every day is paying off. So out of this year's three Target exclusives, I now have Migs Mayfield and Koska Reeves on preorder. That still leaves Axe Woves, so I'll continue to check the site to see if it becomes available for preorder again.

I missed out on preordering Mando in disguise so I will have to do the same thing. The local Walmarts are doing a better job with 6 inch than 3.75 though. Irritating. Prefer it in hand.

It looks like the Mando in Morak disguise is still up for pre-order directly from Hasbro Pulse. Personally I pre-ordered it from Old Republic Collectibles, to try to support a newer company that has gotten good feedback.

Good to know. I will look at it. Debating on preordering from Hasbro along with the shore trooper pack.
 
I've been getting a bit more interested in Marvel Legends figures. They just seem rather "same-y" since so many of the costumes are just seamless skintight bodysuits that happen to be different colors.
