Thanks Matt. Shows how out of touch I am!!
Mysky set now, and looking forward to tracking the figures down.

Looks like Rebels figures are hitting stores just in time for that premiere. Spotted these yesterday at the Welly CBD Toyworld.

Wow The aint that bad.

I love Chopper. Gotta pick him up.

Has anyone spotted the two-packs yet? I'm not sure if they're in the launch line-up or if we'll get them in the second wave. I'm keen to land Hera and Sabine sets for my daughters.

Answering my own question here - the two-packs I speak of are still pre-order only items online, so they're not our yet. Gotta be patient for a little longer.

i'm happy to see more female characters and Hera seems like a very cool character, I still dislike Sabine's lack of armor, Bo-katan's armor on her would be fine a pretty face under the full kit armor.

If you aren't in a rush to pickup the main characters they'll likely be released in packs with other figures over and over again like hasbro did with the clone wars characters, Obi-wan/Anakin/Rex/Cody and Ashoka(season 1-2 look)

Viper still only has the boys sadly and in the package which comes with the "free secret character" which is obiwan hologram.. boo.. but its $40 with free shipping, he has one listed as a bid starting lower.

Is anyone else disapointed that Ezra only comes with a helmet?
I know his slingshot might be hard to replicate but something else would be better.

So the single figures are $15? two packs might be $30?
Its a bit more than i would hope to pay for them but i was hoping viper might already have the first wave he got the bastila/snowtrooper cmdr wave before shops had them.

Yeah, you're probably right on that count. I can see myself being tempted to grab the main characters from this first wave, nonetheless.

That's a Toyworld price. I don't think we've seen a Warehouse/Farmers price, which may be a shade less.

Yeah if i had kids i'd def pickup a set for them to play with, and when they break or start looking sticky hopefully there will be enough spares around to grab some more for cheap
And i think we'll likely have to practice smart buying as well i missed out on plaugeis(sp) because i waited i think the temple guard will be snapped up quickly also but i hope they release a version in the black series wave though their outfit being almost entirely cloth.. would be very tricky.

Hopefully given a couple of months the black series will release a bunch of rebel figures, but it'd be cutting close to episode 7 by then..

Just picked up Chopper and The Inquistor from Toyworld Westgate.
I'm tempted to grab the other main Rebels characters from Wave 1 also. They're pretty nice figures.

We grabbed the 6 Rebels figures from Henderson Toyworld. There are still plenty there (although perhaps not many stormtroopers left). Checked out the Albany Toyworld...nothing there as of this afternoon.
