Yes, that figure was there, as was Vader. I passed on the Scout Trooper since I already have the one that came out with the Speeder Bike last year (I think that this new Scout Trooper is a repack of that one, with a possible slight deco change). And I can wait on the Vader, since I bet we'll be seeing a lot of that figure for the rest of the year.

Not being a carded collector, I don't usually care about the packaging, since it all ends up in the recycle bin anyway. But I really like the size of the new card. It's noticeably narrower than previous cards; and to my eye, it gives a sleeker aesthetic presentation. The coloring of the card is a bit boring: just a black card with some orange stripes down the right side, and the logo at the top along with a graphic of the character. The cardback graphics are wholly unremarkable and, to me, uninteresting. So, all in all, I give them props for reducing the size of the card. Other than that, snooze.
Now, the figures are fabulous - what you would expect for the collector line in terms of sculpt and articulation. And I am glad to now have my definitive AOTC Anakin Skywalker. |

I saw two TBS Scout Troopers at another Target today, and the visor on each one looked like it should, i.e., like the visor seen in the second link you provided. |

Haha! Yes, that's Natalie Portman. I just thought the pic looked cool, and it is relevant to the figure in wave 1. |

I stopped by at the Target near my work last night, and I was able to get the 6" Luke Skywalker figure. Phenomenal collectible! These are far more impressive when you get to see them in person. |
