As Hasbro said in one of their recent Q&As, the Dllr Nep and Plourr Ilo comic pack was pulled from the final Walmart exclusive wave due to objectionable content (apparently a child gets murdered, or something). It's apparently been picked up as an online exclusive, which you can pre-order at Brian's Toys or Entertainment Earth. It's sort of steep at $17.99 plus shipping, considering they're just reused bodies with new heads, so I might wait off on this one a bit. Still, at least they're getting it out there, so hopefully the other canceled sets could get released this way.

Y'all are welcome to 'em. I don't need no more pilots.

I'm right with you. More silly alien pilots do nothing for me. I'm overloaded on Ten Numbs as-is, so another one of that head is meaningless to me, even with a beard. And I just got a female X-wing pilot so I really don't need a bald one.

I would buy the black X-Wing pilot from ROTJ, I guess. I plan on buying Dack but will keep him carded. With the three Rebel Pilot Evolutions sets we've had, plus TLC Nien Nunb pilot, and Snowspeeder Luke, I'm just tired of seeing 'em. EU pilots I've never heard of? No thanks.

You mean mister "She's gonna blow!", that pilot? I love that guy! Originally Posted by Old Fossil

But the neck color would bug me, so I'd prefer they made him. He's not on my "needs-to-be-made" list, but would be close. And like you said, well above any EU pilot, I am piloted out.

I love the whole Rogue Squadron series so I'll be ordering at least one of the sets but agree that the price is way steep...plus after you add on shipping it's going to be one expensive set of figures.Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I, on the other hand, can't get enough pilots so I pre-ordered them from Big Bad Toy Store. Since I already have a bunch of stuff in my pile of loot, shipping is going to be minimal.

I have also preordered mine. I'm a much bigger fan of the novels than the comics but Rogue Squadron is pretty much the reason why I'm literate so I would probably buy just about any Rogue there is.
Have: CW Yularen, CW Clone, everything from CW Slave I set except Slave I, TFU Shadow Stormtrooper x2, Evo Trooper, Saga AT-AT Driver, K-Mart Jodo Kast || Want: Vintage Fordo
Thanks to TheDarthVader, Phantom-like Menace, TheRealDubya, Jediguy, Dark Marble, Umbra, Qui-Long Gone, CrunchyNug, GH_fan and jedikiss.

IDK.. I agree with some of the others, there are too many pilot figs out there so I probably will not buy this comic pack but I do like that they are making more and more EU figures
