Smuggler's Bounty Cantina - Hints!

[Megacam]

Oddball characters are ok provided they're ones who actually played a role in the movies. For me Ponda Baba isn't exciting but the idea of a Shaak Ti, Kit Fisto, or Ki Adi Mundi is.

I completely agree with this. Give me meaningful characters. Like seriously, where the F is Kit Fisto, Shaak Ti, Mundi, Mace Windu!? I would have thought we would have gotten a grevious by now as well. You could easily make atleast 2 or 3 of him alone with different lightsabers. Please for the love of god, give me one of grevious with all 4 sabers. Qui Gon Jin, any form of young obi-wan? I'm all for oddball characters but release them along with critical ones too.

Yes, this

I feel like this has something to do with licensing maybe? All the characters you mention are from Episodes 1-3. If this is not the case, bring on the cool Jedi!

[DuoofDeath1]

i think part of it is really Disney just saying "TFA is a huge cash cow. Why would we want to bring up the prequels again?" That's true and it wouldn't really make sense but they are just now releasing

Spoiler: show

bespin Luke in the next wave and another old obi-wan

so why not go back and do other old ones

[DuoofDeath1]

not sure about the licensing. All i know is funko is required to make all star wars ones bobbleheads but not sure about anything else

Disney themselves have backed off of the prequels themselves and do their best not to promote them. Their current focus is from post Episode 3 (Rebels/A Star Wars Story films) through Episode 9 so dont count on anything but never say never either.

[Malion]

I could see Tarkin in a box. Unless he's in the rogue one set

[StarWarner]

I am really happy with the "hint" they revealed. That's my favorite Star Wars character. I'm so happy that I almost don't care what the other Pop in the box is.

You're probably correct which is why they mentioned Ashoka as a "Rebels" pop though personally the Clone Wars series was incredible and I'd much rather have a "Clone Wars" Anakin then a Hayden Christensen Anakin. But come on give me Padme, Anakin, Mace, and either Grievous or Dooku.

You're right, they don't wanna promote anything from episodes 1-3 or Clone Wars, but they're honestly pretty hypocritical about it. They do their best not to promote anything 1-3 and Clone Wars related, yet we have a few different versions of Darth Maul? And Queen Amidala is one of the most sought after Star Wars pops. But they can't pick and choose one or two characters like that. I would understand picking and choosing more if they chose more characters. Only principles or something to that effect. But to only have one or two characters from the prequels/Clone Wars is honestly pretty dumb, in my opinion. Gimme Anakin and young Obi Wan, at LEAST. I also find it pretty transparent how the TWO prequel/Clone Wars pops just HAPPEN to be the visual cash cows from those films.

Sidenote: One day I bet they're gonna finally release a single new prequel character and it's gonna be Jar Jar Binks.

[Mikey8815]

they already have jar jar

The Darth Maul/Prequel series were made before Disney bought out Lucas

Relative:

Did anyone else catch that there will be Rogue One Pops at some point?

[Mikey8815]

The only thing rogue one could produce that would get me interested would be a new mold of darth vader!!

Are you so certain though? You haven't seen what Rogue One is yet - before TFA I'd have been slightly iffy about Rey & Finn & BB8, but now not so much at all

Before Empire, might you've said "some guy named Boba Fett, name sounds alright, but he's no Darth Vader"

And just gotta say it relating to this somewhat "Ben slashed first!"

[AshleyWilbanks]

I hope that they put a Star Wars variant cover comic in it, but I would highly prefer that the cover be POP related.

No Im super excited for rogue one. Just saying in terms of pops I dont think I will be buying them. I dont have enough room or money for every pop of every movie I like . I have force awakens pops because thats the main trilogy.

[poppetmaster]

Havent been keeping up with Rogue One....but my thought was "wtf, Donnie Yen is in it??"....big Donnie Yen fan.

[mohawkjones]

I really dig seeing a new "action pose" old man Obi-Wan in the box. A very nice anchor piece for the box.

Fun to see where other people draw the line on where they stop collecting. If Rogue One ends up being as good as Ep.7 I wonder how many minds will change...

[treswright]

Mohawkjones, put your post in spoiler tags or prepare for the wrath of those who are trying to avoid spoilers while they wait for their boxes.

[Mikey8815]

So I canceled my subscription after the last box (not because I was disappointed, loved the chewy). But after the recent pop that was revealed I reopened my subscription (I think). It now says "Auto Renew is on", however under "next charge" there is no date listed. So does anyone know if that means the cantina box will be shipped?

[Obi Fun Kenobi]

I'm very excited for this month's box. I would definitely like to see more OT and PT in the future. Loved Force Awakens and I'm sure I'll love Rogue 1, but keep showing love to the older material and even the Legends and cartoon series would be great.

And by "hints" this thread really meant "big hints that include the answer" : (

I can't wait for the new pop. Really hope we get more new OT figures this year!

[pop_jumper]

Too late.

[POPtor WHO]

has there ever been a promo code for the Star Wars sub? I need to update my billing address and can't do that with an existing order apparently, so I have to place a new order with the correct address. just figured I'd check if there is a current promo code since there is a spot to enter one.

nope no promos for any boxes yet

[POPtor WHO]

thanks, I didn't think I had ever seen one but wanted to check before I placed the order.

[JUFunko]

You can updated just fine if it's before the1st of the shipping month.

[POPtor WHO]

its funny, I thought I had. all my other subs (MCC, DCLoC and Loot Crate) are all correct. come to think of it, it might have been in Jan when I did those and since the Resistance box was that month it would not have let me and I forgot to do it in Feb. no biggie, I reordered and as long as I get this months, I'm happy.

thanks for the replies

[POPwarner]

My payment was taken today.. Im actually gunna stay away from this thread because i would like to be actually suprised on the 2nd pop

[ahonobaka]

"Pleasant surprise' seeing my charge come in today too, I've been trying to keep this in the back of my mind so as not to make the wait more painful!

[slightecho]

My payment was taken finally and I'm so excited for this box... too bad I'll be out of state when it arrives and I have to wait until I get home to open it!

[Droidustin]

I can't wait for this to arrive!

[Kenny1132]

No shipping updates since Thursday and my box still hasn't arrived...I hate DHL

[poppetmaster]

Got my box today. Of course no "chase"

[Kenny1132]

Anyone else not receive theirs yet?

[DuoofDeath1]

Mine was supposed to be delivered saturday but saturday came and went and nothing so i checked the tracking and this morning it updated to supposedly being delivered tomorrow. Not really liking the switch to DHL. It shipped from NJ, i live in PA but apparently it had to go to kentucky first. Just checked tracking again and now its been delivered.

[Captain RShane]

I find it funny that the shipping address is from Dallas and I live in Dallas and I just got it today.
