I considered getting those from TRU, but decided against it since I do really want him and it's unlikely that I will find him in the wild as cases are not pack one-per...Quote:

It's a completely new sculpt. It folds up in a similar way to the figure from the Geonosis Arena Showdown sets and most recent Saga Legends release, but it's shorter, more accurate, and doesn't have quite the same range of motion from its ball joints. The only negative is that it wasn't designed to hold the blaster with two hands; it can kind of be fudged, but it's not great in that regard. Otherwise, it's a great figure.Quote:

I saw the Anakin and was rather unimpressed. I don't like painted heads. Sidious also looked a little funny, with the full-on McDiarmid head.
Yup, if you're just looking for newness then Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are the ones to skip. (I still got them to keep on the cards.) The Walmart on 104th and Grant got in multiples of this wave, including several battle droids, so I don't think you'll have a problem finding them.Quote:

Hmm. The one I saw looked painted, but it could've been overspill from the hair that looked crappy, I guess.
Yes. I ordered multiples of the ones I needed, but I too don't think I got Ratts Tyrell.
Toys R Us wasn't offering him before.
Grumble. I have other things to do besides hunt in the mornings. And I want 3 Ratts for dioramas. He's one-per-case as it's a full 12 figure case assortment, with one of each I think.
That's probably good but will make army building the Naboo Guards difficult for everyone. That's why I jumped on 5 in my order.
Meanwhile, though carded collectors will want the Jedi and Maul, most of us loose-collectors are SICK of them! There are so many of these characters available.
Hopefully, Ratts will go up online.
So, I recently saw some loose and carded pics of this wave around the internet and what I really want to know is… WHY DID THEY PUT THAT AWFUL RAINBOW STRIPE ON THE NABOO TROOPER'S HEAD?!?!?! He looked like a great figure and one I was really excited about but those three stripes on his helmet look absolutely terrible. I know the effect they are trying to replicate (as cheeply as possible it would seem) but surely, straight silver would have been better, no? Not sure if I want to army build this guy anymore.
