Very nice, bigraj.
I have a set on preorder but now I'm wondering if my local Target will get them first.

I have the series 2 Han on Preorder with spamS. Do you have the Target DPCI # for both scales?

6" Black 087-06-1941 Target locator for 6" BlackLast month I read the 4" Black series shares the same DPCI as the Vintage wave, 087-06-1351. There were many grumblings over that news. |

Originally I was going to wait for a regular Stormtrooper, but the Sandtrooper is really growing on me. Same with pilot Luke.
i'm curious to see how these things compare size-wise to Mattel WWE.

Not sure there wasn't a tag and they were in the customers hands. I'd guess $20 seeing the 3.75" were $10.

I missed SDCC Boba again. I guess it went up around 9 am est. It must have happened while I was driving home. According to posts on another board, it lasted for four minutes.

Thanks again for the DPCI # for the 6" SW figures. I checked this morning and it said one of the stores by me had both the 6" SW and more Elites so I went over there and an employees I became friends with pulled out a fresh case of both. I picked up everyone but R2 from the SW and the e22 Sandow. This was at the Monroe NY Target so they still have R2 and everyone except Sandow and the Giant(wasn't in the case) left.  Luke's saber has a removable light blade as well. I find Luke's (actually all three figures) wrist articulation a bit strange bit in that his right wrist has the hinge moving north and south, but his left wrist has the hinge moving east and west. Luke has 27 POA's consisting of ball-jointed head, hinged neck, ball-jointed shoulders, elbow hinges and swivels, wrists hinges and swivels, mid-torso ball-joint, ball-jointed hips, mid-thigh cuts, double knees, top of the boot cuts, ankle hinged and pivot. Luke Skywalker -        The Sandtrooper has 27 POA as well, but different. He has double elbow but no elbow swivel. And he has upper arm cuts, but no top of the boot cuts. Sandtrooper -    Darth Maul has 25 POA consisting of ball-jointed interchangeable heads, hinged neck, ball-jointed shoulders, elbow hinges and swivels, wrist cuts and hinges, ball-jointed abdominal section, ball-jointed hips, upper thigh cuts, double knees, ankle hinges and pivots. Darth Maul -         |

I'm shocked that they would put a Sandtrooper in wave 1 instead of a Stormtrooper. I understand they wanted to hold off on some big characters for later waves, like why Han Solo, Darth Vader, Leia, and Luke in his more common attires, they didn't want to blow all the big characters at once....but I much prefer Stormtroopers over Sandtroopers.
I'm still torn as to if I'm going to start buying these or not. They are like $20 a piece. For a 6" figure to be that price is a huge turn off and I have soooo many of the 3.75 inch figures that I don't know if I want to start over at this point. I'll have to wait until I see them in person I guess.

Almost all my Targets had these during the overnight delivery but Targets are chaotic at the moment during this reset. That was ok because I had all four coming from spamS and I found an extra Maul and Trooper at Kmart. I may have gotten a bad Artoo. I thought his retractable leg was supposed to move up and down when you rotate his dome. Right now I can't get it to move even after pulling on it. I would've liked separate boot (like Mattel WWE) but that's only a minor nit pick. PJ, I think Hasbro started the wrist articulation with their improved 12" GI Joe bodies. I'm guessing it's to allow figures to aim a rifle close to eye level.     |

That looks good. I am actually thinking about picking up a couple (3) more Sandtroopers and another Luke. This way when my two Han figures come later this year I can make Han & Luke in Stormtrooper disguise.

The Sandtrooper has a larger ball joint. It'll need need some modification but it should be possible.

Thanks. I guess it can be sanded down. I am really impressed with these so far.
