Some the star wars dolls were found at TRU, according to a post on the fwoosh. Pic are from toyark. I don't know the scale, but they seem to be a combination of action figure and soft goods. They actually look pretty good in person. The regular ones are $20 and the ones that come with a companion are $35 IIRC. They strike me a really low budget Hot Toys. They're action figurey in a larger, doll-like way, and they have rooted hair and fabric clothing. The Sabine looks really good and comes with a removable helmet.

Tired of not finding a 40th Anniversary R2 for my 40th display base I just pre-ordered one from Big Bad for the 3rd quarter Are they supposed to hit retail too? Or is this batch just for places like the Large Evil Plaything Marketplace that you mentioned?

They just had preorders for the series 1 shortpacked R2 and Han.

Yeah I luckily found everyone I was looking for at retail, except R2. I was just curious if this second run of R2 and Han would make it to other stores.

I bought a Sabine and Rey the morning after I posted. They're not bad, but I have to deduct a couple of points. One, the $20 dolls have a squeeze the legs together action feature, which doesn't work very well. Two, the boots have a slit down the back. I'm sure this is to allow little girls an easy way to change outfits, but it looks tacky. Of course, I'm not exactly the target audience, ahem.

I guess I can live with the boot slit, but I'm not a fan of action features on figures of this size and price. I still really like the Sabine, but methinks I'll wait for a sale or a clearance.

If anyone is still looking for Wave 2 of the 40th Anniversary figures, I found a case (minus the Stormtrooper) at my local FYE. I grabbed C3PO & Chewbacca, as I had previously bought the Tusken Raider at Target. I also wanted to get one of the Jawas, but the carding was in bad shape. Their price was $22.99 each, but that's much cheaper than online right now.
I was also able to get a Darth Vader set for $15 at a local Walmart.

Picked up 30th Luke and Obi at Walgreen's for $5 each. Still don't know why I wasted $10.

Leia and Maz are must-haves. I'll probably wait to get the 2018 Rey with the new printed face.

Can someone tell me if the 40th anniversary figures will be re-released in the standard black series packaging? The 40th anniversary figs are very expensive, I missed them when they were first released.
