Who Will Lead Your Army?
Hasbro has recently released two very good Stormtrooper figures in the TVC line… ANH Han Solo (removable helmet w/ photo-real technology; Target exclusive) and a basic trooper that marches right out of 2016’s Rogue One.
Now that I have a few of each in my collection, I have my own preference and know which one I plan to “army-build” – but what does everyone else think, or plan to do? Share your thoughts here or in our forums after the jump!

Isolated Incidents, or a Broader Issue?
Recently, I’ve come across some quality control issues with Hasbro’s new Target exclusive TVC Han Solo (Stormtrooper gear). Bad paint apps, warped helmets, and even melted /deformed plastic.
Hopefully these are isolated incidents, but at least half of these that I’ve seen at retail or have received via online orders have left me disappointed.

TVC Wave 6 Arriving from Entertainment Earth
If you ordered TVC Wave 6 from Entertainment Earth, be paying attention to your email updates and shipping notifications! Forum member Lance Quazar shared the above photo as he received his order today.
It looks like it’s going to be a fun summer with great new product (at least for online purchases)!
Delays, Cancellations, and Discontinuations

I trust everyone had a relaxing Memorial Day Weekend break with family and friends. As I get caught up on my inbox of emails and social notifications, I’m seeing a ton of reports concerning delays and cancellation notices on orders from Walmart for Jabba’s Palace playset, cancellations of Amazon preorders for figures from Black Series wave 21 and TVC Skiffs, and finally, Target has changed the status of the Retro Collection DPCI to “discontinued” after only a couple of weeks of availability (if you saw them at all). I know it’s frustrating for today’s “gotta have it now” collector, but I urge you all to show restraint and NOT reward scalpers or fall victim to algorithmic pricing for any of these items as they will all be available eventually for retail price or less (at least in the U.S.). Reach out to friends and trusted acquaintances in the collector community to help fill those holes in your collection and in turn do the same for others.
