I really wanted to be excited, loved the character from the Aphra comics and now the live action, but yikes. Try again Hasbro. What’s been going on with the Black Series team?

When did they find out he would be in the show? I feel like they'd have enough time to make an effort on a no brainer fan favorite.

I see the listing on BBTS for BK says (comic) but he doesn’t look like that either. Comic BK is huge as well, hell the art showing that is right there on the package.

Now this one will excite Rhyno:

The original is much better, simply because it's his iconic look and without the squint.

I got a response from Dorkside about whether or not my Hunter wave will ever arrive, here it is if anyone is interested:

quote:

Bo-Katan and Elite Squad Trooper have been reserved to your order. Hunter and Crosshair are estimated to arrive in March. Asajj Ventress is estimated to arrive in April. Dates are merely an estimate and we cannot guarantee as the matter of arrival is simply out of our hands. Should you find items in-stock elsewhere and decide to cancel, we can only be understanding. Otherwise, we will begin shipping the moment they arrive. Please contact us with any additional questions or concerns. Thanks for shopping Dorksidetoys!

I think the squint looks great at some angles and not so much in others. Interesting that the promo pics were taken without his breathing tubes attached.

You looking to import or wait 2-3 months extra for US release?

If you’re importing, just keep your eyes on places like Amazon.JP, amiami, HLJ, 1999.co.jp, Nin-Nin-Game closer to his release in June.

If you’re going the domestic route, same thing applies to BBTS, Amazon, Dorkside, etc. around his release in maybe August or September.

What I’m getting at is that this Vegeta is a regular release, meaning you don’t explicitly need a preorder since they’re not made-to-order and may even end up in Targets and Wal-Marts.

Yeah, as frustrated as I am about the delays, I'll be keeping the order open. Though there is a Ventriss sitting at a local Walgreens, or was anyway.

Dorkside has good customer service at least, even though they are seemingly getting screwed in distro. I got my money back from them for the TMNT Wave 1 Ultimates re-release, and the order I made on BBTS shipped this morning.

The order of 2 extra foot soldiers from EE are actually arriving today. Kind of wish I had just cancelled my preorder with Dorkside earlier and had all six figures arrive at the same time, but c'est la vie!

Yeah at the least DS has good customer service and the owner has been very up front with how often they get snubbed by Hasbro and other distributors on allotments compared to other larger retail sites. Still, it makes the wait annoying when you see so many others getting their stuff on time, and they can improve this with more transparent communication on where orders stand.

I am extremely on the fence about buying an all metal Rocketeer jetpack, hand made with a blowtorch and a hammer. But I know if I do, I’m going to want the whole getup. I don’t really have the space for more large props, and the price is definitely territory of getting forgiveness afterward rather than permission from the wife.

On the other hand, good Christ:

Amazon exclusives have a tendency to pop in and out of stock until they release, even sometimes after they release. Just keep an eye on it and you may find you are able to order one.

I don’t know how much you might use Twitter but follow this account it’s very good at informing people when things come in to stock up
