Luke is actually shorter and Han has a skinnier helmet.
Which adds a little diversity if you are army building.

Plus that $10 price is just phenomenal!

100% noob to the forums, although a long time lurker.

The $10 Walmart sale was epic! I managed to grab 2 of each: Palpatine, Han, Luke, IG-88, Leia, Cody and the Clone Captain (I like to keep one MIB and open the other). The Han and Luke figures definately help pad the stormtrooper army, but are best suited to be in the background...The helmet sculpts are a bit off for my taste, not to mention Luke being a little short for a Stormtrooper.

I wonder if we will see some of the other past waves make there way into Walmart stores now, as I'm in desperate need of the Yoda figure

[MULTIPLEX]

Yah, that Yoda and Anakin wave were skipped entirely. Would be great to get another Yoda and some more Clones.

Here a cool list I found on the net that shows what's out so far. Looks like I'm pretty much caught up. But looks like Target USA has the new Resistance Trooper and FO Tie Pilot listed on their site. So hopefully we start seeing those soon.

I want Hasbro to re issue Darth Maul * the rest of wave 1. thou i recently got Luke X-wing at a premium price. sigh :-(

[Napseeker]

I can see both R2 and Maul being reissued down the road... If Hasbro does either an eps1 Obi or Qui-Gon, they'll probably double-dip and do some kind of 2-pack with Maul and the other figure (Obi/Qui-Gon). Same with R2-D2 once they put out the 3PO mold, a nice-2pack right there.

[Robot rabbit]

I think we will see them eventually. The mold has been made

[SanMiguel]

With the current hype on the upcoming Star Wars movie Im hoping to see SW BS Wave 1 soon.

BTW just got my figures from Walmart yesterday, the funny thing was they shipped the items that I ordered last. Was soo excited I thought Walmart have shipped them at the same time since I ordered them like 20 minutes apart. Anyhow will make another trip to the nearest post where I address it to when the shipment arrives.

If you just need a Darth Maul figure to fit in your collection and aren't a MOC collector. I'd recommend the S.H. Figuarts Maul, highly detailed and posable. Great figure, just doesnt come with the cloak and binoculars. There are also bootleg Black Series Maul's on eBay, which can fill in until the real one gets re-released.

Why can't they bootleg 6" Han in Carbonite. Easy cash grab.

OMG i didnt see that bootleg coming! Was considering the SH Figuarts but darn the price is just sooooooooo pricey! Thou theyre (Figuarts) Stormtroopers are like $20.
