I have a hunch that Wave 1 will hit any day now. Is everyone ready for TAC to finally arrive? I've just finished up collecting everything I needed from The Saga Collection, and now I'm eagerly anticipating the new wave.

Are you kidding? I preordered this wave from new force comics back in October. I've been ready since I saw the first pics of the marine and airbourne trooper.

i am definitely ready. i've even held back on buying extras of the saga wave 8 green and blue clones just so i have enough to cover all the galactic marines i want. i was set to pass on the obi wan but after seeing close ups and the new head and new accessories, i think i'll get it.

I was born ready and just got bigger! The 30th Anniversary Collection is going to be exciting to collect. Those McQuarrie figures will look good displayed together!

Fortunately, wave 1 is all prequel figures, so I can take another month off from collecting Hasbro stuff and continue filling in my Kubricks and Sideshow collections.

I've had them for 3 weeks or so now. All I need from Saga 2 (I think ) is a few commander Appos and that Gray big wing TIE Fighter.

If I find any up here, I'll pick them up first and ask questions later - just to make sure you have 'em if you want 'em.

Thanks JJ, I am only looking for the clones and Obi, I dont need the other repacks though.

Copy that, and I can make no promises - only keep my eyes open (they've been showing up at Zellers stores up here for some reason lately, on US cards no less).

I guess. Scrabbling together the items I wanted from the elusive Wave 9 has left me tired. I wouldn't mind waiting on wave 1 of the TAC until April... I have spent way too much money on collecting this month.

Money-wise I'm ready, but I need to buy a protective cup for when my wife kicks me in the Balzac when I start buying more clones.

The first wave will be a bit of a break for me since I don't intend to collect all of the coins and there are only two figures I want for my loose collection, the Mustafar Lava Miner and the McQuarrie Stormtrooper. I already have the original Fan's Choice version but I want to display all eight (if I remember correctly) McQuarrie figures together and since the rereleased trooper has a different paint scheme I will display it with the rest of the line.
What I am not prepared for is the realization that Star Wars is 30 years old! I was 11 when I saw it the first time and it took over my life. Has it been 30 years already? Say it ain't so!

I'm all caught up on TSC stuff but money-wise I'm a little behind ($18, to be exact). I'm excited for the new line since, so far, I'm planning on getting ALL the figures since there are no straight repacks in the main line.

I went looking for figures today. I came home with a watch band, a Rubbermaid cereal container, and some file and magazine boxes. The file boxes might be used to hold figures at some point.

Now that I have only 1 wave 9 figure to go (Holo Obi) I can start to prepare for the TAC wave 1. I do think that it may be awhile before my WM's put them out because the pegs are still log jammed with GB, H&V, Endor Troopers, Jerjerrods, and GraGras. Target might if someone comes by and buys about 10 Jerjerrods and 10 Death Star Gunners. TRU is hopeless, they have 20 Poggles and nothing else. Hasbro needs to come by and take these excess Saga II figures form the pegs to clear some space for the TAC, if not around here we might not see them for awhile (and I am getting 2 of each).

I may be way off base. But I am of the mind that Saga figures won't have an impact on TAC figures being stocked. They are two different toy lines (albiet from the same license). Not stocking TAC seems to me like it would be akin to not stocking TMNT because there are too many Saga figures. I am guessing that the TAC will have their own pegs with different stock numbers, and will be stocked regardless of the Saga pegwarmers.

That's sounds about like what it is here. Target had 16 figures yesterday, 10 of which were Jerjerrod. Lots of stuff at Wal-Mart. No TRU here anymore. K-Mart had about six figures, which is the most I've seen there in a long time.
The only TSC figures I still want are Aurra Sing, 2 5th Fleet Security Clones, and another Super Battle Droid.

I'm ready for TAC to start showing, but I don't think my house is. I'm running out of room to store all my SW stuff.
I've found pretty much what I wanted from the last two TSC waves, although I wouldn't mind getting a few more elite troopers.

Ready to try to beat army bulders to the stores to find even ONE Galactic Marine?
Nope.

I can't wait to see these on the pegs. the stores around here are bare and it makes my mouth water knowing that any day now the shelves will be displayed with 30th TAC Beauty.
The bigs art pics of the characters should also make it easier to see what figures are on the pegs. looking for the small colored logo or the small character pic on the Saga cards was not fun.

You hear that, sal? Someone's trying to pick a fight!

I'm not ready to fight either, I am hoping that Hasbro has learned that many people want clones. Perhaps they will finally release a ton of troops for army building purposes.

The site I pre-ordered my case of wave 1 from just posted that Hasbro is sending them their allotment of wave 1 next week. Since they usually get them about the same time as stores do, you may want to start checking the stores soon.
