That Han better not be sold at 19.99...

And wow, they are really milking that Yoda mold

I'm sure he will be sold for that much.  They said this Yoda is all new and that the one that's been in the line a while was slightly out of scale. Luke's elbow joints look weird, but I guess that's for the handstand pose.
A new Storm Trooper is pretty cool and feels like one of those army builder figures that should be in the line all the time.
Wish we were getting Lobot, and I'm still kinda convinced that poll was rigged in favor of Luke, but whatever.  Hoping we get him soon.
A white repaint of the Boba Fett helmet for the "prototype" version seemed inevitable, but a McQuarrie concept version would be really kick ass!

The Carbonite Han will be $14.99

[abnuggler]

I really need that Carbonite Han, the rest Ill probably get a Camino trooper, and the Luke & Yoda Set, didnt think I needed a new yoda till it was stated that he'll be in better scale. I already have my Zuckuss and 4-Lom so no need for those again and even though the new articulation on the trooper looks good I already have enough troopers. Im still hoping to find Dooku, Bly and Snowspeeder Luke, and 40th Lando that havent gotten my hands on, and with the luke & yoda set Ill probably end up getting that degobah r2 as well (even though I hate that mold, that one also needs an update)

Funny how they put a scene from ROTJ on an ESB cardback for the Carbonite Han figure :?

Sure, but the old Kenner "figure" had essentially the same image on it, I believe.  They put this into the 40th Anniversary ESB line instead of waiting three years for the 40th of ROTJ, and I kind of get that.  I guess if they actually grabbed an image from ESB it would lose some of that nostalgic toy feel.

[Satam]

@JayC They said the Amazon exclusives would be available at 1:30, and that's come and gone.  Any news as to what happened and when Vader, Han, and 4-Lom and Zuckuss might actually be available?  Can you reach out to Hasbro or something and find out what happened?

Yeah didnt catch that till you pointed it out @JayC jajaj, I love these vintage carbacks but I really want that one just for part of my collection since I never got the SDCC Boba Fett that came with this and Ive been wanting for a Carbonite Han for a while to put next to my ROTJ Jabba's Palace Figures Display, I was close to getting a custom piece once but figured someday either Hasbro or Tamashii would give us an official product someday again so Im happy with this one, and for the price I'll definetely be looking for this one.

Nevermind.  Doesn't seem like they know anything.  Hasbro Pulse just posted that there was a delay (oh really?) and that they will update as soon as preorder links are active.
I'd love to know if these are only exclusive to Amazon or if it was just today's preorder that didn't happen that was supposed to be the exclusive, sort of like with Target and the Marvel Legends Stan Lee, because I would much rather purchase these items at BBTS or Dorkside toys, especially now.

That 2 pack with Yoda and Luke is an interesting buy, but I might pass. Is the Carbonized Vader basically the same as the 40th anniversary one with the star wars stand? Looks like it to me.

And that Camino trooper does look interesting. Wow so many variants for army building. 

[JHS1988]

I'm not into the helmets so sorry if this is weird but do people who are want a prototype Bobo helmet? I mean would you just repaint it without the dent? 

Carbonized Vader looks good.  I also like both the new body Stormtrooper and Clone Trooper. Though really was hoping for an announcement for a HasbroPulse Stormtrooper army builder.

[TheGrimeyGhost]

I just received my Empire anniversary Bespin Luke, and I got the Yoda a few months back via the Archives rerelease, so I'm not sure I can justify preordering that Luke Dagobah training....but he IS wearing a different shirt!  Plus a backpack!  

[Spack]

If anything, get it for the new accurate Yoda. The one you already have is terribly proportioned.

[SpiderS]

I think that Luke is the best one yet, must have for sure even for causal Star Wars fans like me. As for Vader it’s kinda hard to say how figure is going to look in neutral lighting.  

[JayC]

The Amazon Exclusive Star Wars The Black Series 6" Carbonized Darth Vader figure is now available for pre-order and slated with an August release date.

Really hope Hasbro will release a Starkiller Galen Marek one day from force unleashed 

[Bespin refugee]

I wonder if/when we'll see that headsculpt reused for a post-Bespin Luke? add a a little bruising, removable hand & tourniquet( damaged shirt is probably too much to ask for)

BD luke seems like an easy no brainer for Hasbro.

Pulse charged me for my Carbonite Han on the 1st. I see a lot of people on other boards and social media saying they've gotten shipping notices and even received theirs.  I haven't seen $%&@ from Pulse and my order just reads as "Unfulfilled."  Fun.
