Having seen the figures up close at CE2, I have to say this line is starting to grow on me. But only because of the Stormtrooper. I think the 6" ST helmet looks just fine and better than the Mission series trooper. And then better than the 3 3/4" trooper :D

Anyway, Luke Bespin looks disappointing. Hasbro has a long history of failing at getting Mark Hamill's likeness down and this one's no exception. I don't know, he reminds me a bit of.... Topher Grace? And his suit looks like some sort of rough canvas.... At that scale better details should've been expected.

Remco,

I am so wanting to hear your opiinion on the new six inch regular stormy helmet. What do you think? I think we all like the first version Sandtrooper, but do you think the new Wave 3 Stormy Bucket has issues? I hear you on that Bespin Luke. Why can they not get his likeness correct.  I mean I see the new twelve inch Hoth Luke from SSC that looks so perfect its eerie and then I see this. Can't wait to get you on a podcast to talk about these new items.

Thanks for the heads up guys......Just put my preorder in to amazon.  Glad they limit people to 2 so a lot of us have access to it.  Over at Hasbrotoyshop....its the Wild Wild West over there, I tried to order 1 Nightviper and that was a no go.   Went to hisstank.com and a few guys were saying they ordered anywhere from 15 to 45 of them!

Yepper I did, I will look to see if any of our awesome site sponsors have them listed singly, but I am thinking right now the only way to get one is to order a full 4 pack of Wave 2.

I'm thinking we need an old Ben, a farm boy Luke, and a land speeder to go with those wonderful sandtroopers.

Why in the world they didn't do an Old Ben instead of the one they released with Wave 3 is beyond me. The Prequel Obi is definitely my least favorite of the lot so far. I for one don't understand why they wouldn't have just gone with the first twelve. I can see the Clonetrooper, but am hearing that perhaps they are thinking about giving us a beast or two and we know we are getting a speederbike with scout trooper so a landspeeder may not be out of the realm of possibilities.
