Rouge One Wave 2 Basic Figures at Warehouse Lower Hutt. Guessing many other stores will have these as well.
Cool :)

Looks like TW's plans have changed internally, and they might not get the AT-ACT after all :(

The Warehouse seems to be running at deal on 3.75" basic figures right now that handily coincides with the arrival of the new wave. Figures are $13.60 for another week or two. :)

I'm guessing most of you have this by now.

I found the commentary quite interesting in that some of the best scenes were semi-ad-libbed while Harrison Ford was off with his hurt leg, i.e. the Rey/Finn dialogue when they first met (originally, he admitted being a Stormtrooper) and the stuff with BB8 (lighter thumbs up) because the humour wasn't there and/or the scenes weren't quite working.

It still kinda amazes me that a film of this scale can still get a "green light" without a lot of pivotal scenes worked out ahead of time.

So the Masterton Warehouse finally put out their wave one figures. So if you are looking for anything from that set let me know and we'll see if I can be of assistance.

I was in Australia last week and spotted lots of Rogue One Micromachines. Hopefully that means they will appear here any time now.

A pre-order page at Mighty Ape gives an indication of the pricing for the AT-ACT...$499.99 https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/sta ... ?r=1755803

Might end up being slightly cheaper elsewhere, but the best information to date is that The Warehouse now won't be stocking it.

Hey just a question. Is the new 3.75 Kylo Ren in thē Rouge one packaging a new figure or just a repack?

He's technically new, though he reuses some older tooling, mixed with new parts. Adam Pawlus at Galactic Hunter gives a pretty good rundown of the figure in his Figure of the Day column, here ...
