If those end up being the actual case assortments, I'll likely be ordering full cases. A fully double-packed case of those 3 figures each would be nice - could split the cases then.

That's a nice wave, though I haven't even seen the wave jango is in yet, in stores or sold out online.

Can anyone say if the Disney die-cast figures are the exact same scale as the Black Series 6"? I ask because I tire of hunting for a BS Capt. Phasma when I could just snag a metal one at the Disney Store. She's metallic anyways!

Any help here would be hot...

They are 1/10 scale. That's 7". Close but a bit larger than BS 6" scale.

So, in Captain Phasma's case, that would work then. She's taller anyways.

Or she'll be a giant amongst men, the Yao Ming of Stormtroopers.

If you don't mind buying bootlegs and not supporting Hasbro, I recommend the Chinese bootleg Phasma (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Hot-Star-Wars...MAAOSwYIhWiQb~)

I've bought a Chinese bootleg Clone Trooper, Boba Fett, and Sandtrooper, and they're pretty good in terms of quality and price. And a whole lot easier to get than the Hasbro versions.

Scale wont be the issue...the die cast figures articulation SUCKS...and they tend to be rather off balance due to them being quite top heavy.

I picked up the die cast Kylo, Phasma and FO stormtrooper when they first released and debated taking them out of the packaging but after watching a few reviews it seems these are better suited as MIB show peices.

Here's a pic with Elite Phasma next to BS Stormtroopers (sorry for the wide shot - I can take another pic when I get home tonight).



The Phasma feels out of scale, but I didn't mind it much (however I did switch her out for the BS version recently!).

You are right, Phasma is just a touch too tall in respect tot eh other BS6". Thanks, the hunt continues...!

Probably a good call - BS Phasma is a solid figure. Good luck on the hunt!

Here's a more specific pic (BS 6" figures on the left, die-cast Elite figures on the right).
