I've identified eight I'd like out of this range, but most are spread across the sets we've seen so far, and that will mean buying as many minis that I don't necessarily want or need in order to get the ones I do. It'd be nice to be able to snag 'em with surgical precision, instead! ;)
Which ones are on your wantlist Strone?

I'm basically hoping to get my hands on one instance of each new vehicle - so I've been analysing the sets and trying to work out the most economical way of doing this. The TFA deluxe pack, for example, seems a redundant purchase if you're planning on picking up all four three-packs and the R2-D2 playset (all of which are on my wantlist). But even with the best planning, it looks like I'll still be hitting some doubles. You'll be welcome to 'em if they're ones you're after!

Thanks bud. I suspect our wants are probably pretty similar, but it is most kind of you to offer.

Here's my current wish list ...

Micro Machines:

* First Order Snowspeeder
* Desert Landspeeder
* Rey’s Speeder
* First Order Transporter
* Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle
* Ghost
* Republic Gunship
* Millenium Falcon (TFA)

The others I either already have or will buy out of other ranges (Fantasy Flight Games, Titaniums, etc)

How about the rest of our regulars here? What are your intentions with this range? Which ones are you gonna take a run at the first chance you get? :D

While I won't likely be getting any of the plastic micro machines, I'll definitely be picking up most of the new Black Series Titaniums (excluding the repaints), probably midnight on Force Friday if they're available! The completist in me means that will include the Millennium Falcon even though I'm sure the only difference is the radar dish :)

I'm keen to get one of every new or previously unreleased vehicle to continue and expand our existing display cases. If that results in doubles, I'm largely okay with that, as I don't mind incorporating armies in our displays, or having duplicate vehicles in different arrangements in separate display cases. Having said all that, particularly depending on how the blind box arrangement pans out, there may be a need for a a trading thread.

Cool to see that packaged pic :)

And this point-of-sale box display might indicate the vehicles in the "Series 1" blind bags:

Awesome sauce. It’s really nice to see there are additional new ships (and critters) in the blind bags that aren’t represented in the blister packs. I’m wondering if there might be more than we see in that side pic. of the point of sale tray? Hasbro’s other property blind bag ranges typically have more than a dozen (though often the first wave is small, like this one). I wouldn’t be surprised if the other side of the tray might depict another 12 subjects – or maybe I’m just being wishful/greedy! :D

It will be very interesting to learn what the NZ retail will be on all this stuff.

I think this will be Hasbro's most successful line for this release.
