Our Rebel Spies are hard at work again and they've uncovered another juicy rumor list for everyone's reading pleasure. As always, keep in mind this is a rumor list, and not an official confirmation. More details, if there are any, will be announced at a later date. But for now, let the speculation begin!
Wave 3: Revenge of the Sith Basic Figures Bail Organa
Breha Organa
Clone Commander Faie
Emperor Palpatine
Felucia Clone Trooper
FX-6
General Grevious
Stass Allie
This wave has been rumored before, but it looks like some changes may have taken place in the lineup.
Wave 4: A New Hope Basic Figures
Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi
Brainiac (Cantina Patron)
Captain Needa Trinto Duaba with Dice Ibegon (Cantina Patrons)
Han Solo (Stormtrooper disguise)
Jawa & WED-15 Droid
Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper disguise)
Spacetrooper
Wioslea
Han & Luke as Stormtroopers have already been confirmed in the Hasbro Q&A sessions as anchoring a wave, and Ben Kenobi is said to have been part of an Evolutions set (an upgrade from the VOTC version).
Brainiac, Jawa & WED-15 Droid, and Wioslea are long-rumored figures from Galactic Hunter's 42N-TLR report, so it's good to see these names pop up again.
Finally, Captain Needa is actually from The Empire Strikes Back, so it's reasonable to guess that this is inaccurate for this wave. Most likely, this would be Commander Praji, who has been rumored since Celebration IV. Either way, an SA Imperial Officer is on many fans' must-have lists.
UPDATE: It looks like the "Captain Needa" figure is out and is, as suspected, inaccurate for this wave. Instead, the Imperial has been replaced with not one, but 2 Cantina Aliens! Sweet!
Vehicles
Following up on the Star Destroyer rumor, we've gotten some reports of more updated vehicles, assuming the "BMF" (Big Millennium Falcon) and AT-TE sell well enough to show that the fans will support larger-scale vehicles.
AT-ST
Clone Turbo Tank
E-Wing Starfighter
Landspeeder
Sith Starfighter
Slave I
Star Destroyer
TIE Defender
TIE Fighter
TIE Interceptor
X-Wing Fighter
It's kind of over the place, isn't it? So think of these as big time "what if?" possibilites for now. After all, there are only so many Jedi Starfighter repaints that can be done...something new has to come out eventually, right?
Playsets
Despite the long-standing stance that playsets don't sell well enough to warrant to costs involved, our spies have uncovered word of a pair of playsets/dioramas for the future. Again, consider this one of those wwwaaaayyyyy out there rumors, and not any kind of oicial confirmation.
Death Star (possibly more than one)
Forward Base Alpha (?)
As with any rumor list, take this all with a grain of salt, because it's not official, and may just be idle speculation. But that's part of the fun of being a fan, isn't it?
