Still haven't received the shipping soon email. This is my first box and I only signed up a week and a half ago...so maybe that's why?

The shipping soon is on the sub emails so next time you should see it. But expect a shipping notice should start going out the 16th or 19th

Gotcha. Thanks, didn't know if I should be worried. Seems strange but I'm really pumped for Tarkin!

So we're likely getting two pops, which most people have already figured out as to who they will be...but what else will be in the box? Anyone have guesses as to the pin and patch? T-Shirt? Anything else thrown in?

I'm thinking Death Star pin, Death Star Gunner patch, maybe 1 of 4 T-Shirt variants (Vader, Luke, Obi-Wan, Tarkin), and just for fun, a Death Star bobble-pen.

I'm just going to throw random guesses out there of what I'd like to see. I hope we get a Vader patch. I would be absolutely over the moon if it happened. But I'm thinking it'll be more likely to be a Technician or Gunner. Same with the pin. I'd also love to see a Mouse Droid item, be it a bobble pen, plush, what ever. It's past time we had another round of T-shirt variants, not just the color, but of the design. I have no problems whatsoever with shirt variants being in the box, I look forward to those!

I'm really hoping for a Death Star POP but that might be wishfully thinking for a subbox

That raises an interesting question, I wonder if the bobble contractual requirement extends to vehicles (boy would that look strange). I'm guessing it doesn't since Funko has already done Wobblers of the X-wing and Tie Fighter, and the vehicles didn't bobble, just the pilots.

Would be interesting! Disney did a 9'' Deathstar Vinylmation in which the body was space, with X-wings and Tie Fighters dog fighting, and the head was the Deathstar. If Funko made something similar I would totally be down for it :]

I'm really stoked for this one. Unless they just butcher the job on the Pops (and I see no reason to think they would, with the great detailed pops we've been seeing lately), this box is going to be amazing, and the additional items will just be gravy.

Grand Moff Tarkin Pop
Bespin Darth Vader Pop (force choke)
Vader vs. Kenobi shirt
Death Star luggage tag.
To me the box is worth it for the two pops alone, really like the design of tarkin and have been wanting a force choke vader for some time. A little disappointed/underwhelmed in the luggage tag, just my opinion though.

REALLY dig the shirt. Pretty nice.
Tarkin's looking okay. Good face mold.
The new Vader does differentiate from the new Gamestop one but not really enough for me.
And luggage tag....why????

Luggage tag is odd since there are already Star Wars luggage tags out there. Not sure it's a real lucrative opportunity for them, but I guess this was their "test something out" product this box. If nothing else, I'd probably actually use that over the mugs they have been including (which will just collect dust for me)

Yup. Love this box too. Even the one thing that seems out of place I think looks cool. I'll get some use out of it. And mind shipped today! And I thought Funko was using a new company because it said Globegistics as the carrier. But you click on the tracking link and it takes you to the same crappy DHL system. Another week of waiting for it to transfer to USPS and travel 2 hours to me.

I love, love, love that shirt. I can't wait to set up Vader battling Obi Wan. The funniest part of the video was Yoko admitting she had no idea what Bespin meant. They really did a great job with these Pops and the shirt.

Just an ok box, IMO. Not the best, not the worst. I would have been disappointed with this box if I had ordered it. Glad I didn't.

Spoiler: show
The Pops look ok. They did a good job on Tarkin's head sculpt. I don't remember Tarkin wearing green. I couldn't help but lol when they revealed a Bespin item in a Death Star box. Typical Funko. Nice to see a shirt again. I figured they'd throw in a hat with the Death Star on it. The shirt design is pretty good. A luggage tag is a dumb addition. I hope I never get one in a future box. I don't travel. The last time I traveled by air was 11 years ago, which is also the only time I have ever flown by air.

Are you kidding about Tarkin? That was the main color of all the uniforms, lol! I thought it a bit funny as well to include a Pop not at all related to the Death Star. Regardless, I am still pleased with it and plan to pair it with my "cool no-hand" Luke to complete the iconic scene from The Empire Strikes Back.

The shirt looks cool and correctly fits the Death Star theme. The luggage tag will not see any use by me.

I agree with you. it's weird for Funko to include the Bespin POP in the Death Star box, but eventually getting him was a must and I guess Funko thought this was the best way to make him.

Very glad I ordered this box. There are a couple of Smuggler's Bounty boxes that almost made me break down and subscribe (regret not getting the Bounty Hunter's box, I'll have to try and snag that later) but this is the first one I HAD to have.

Spoiler: show
Tarkin looks great and that new Vader mold is phenominal! I like it even better than the Rogue One molds! The shirt is fantastic too! I don't travel, so I don't see a need for the luggage tag, but the rest of the box is so great I'm not bothered by it. And who knows, maybe there will be a need/use for it on the future.

I was wondering if the Death Star box would focus on A New Hope or Return of the Jedi, since both of those films featured a Death Star.

As it turns out...
Spoiler: show
...we got something from Bespin in Empire Strikes Back, the only one of the three films that does not feature the Death Star.


Other than that little nitpick, I like the box.
