Check the current mailer catalog for Entertainment Earth. They show a sneak peak pic of the new Scout Trooper. Looks great. I know those of you who seemed excited about it won't be disapointed. They said they will reveal the other three images on Feb 25th.

The other interesting thing is they say that the Qui-Gon wave, and the secret Scout Trooper wave that follows will be a "shared exclusive", and not available in big box stores.

Maybe that is why we are seeing so many Star Wars Muggs still unaccounted for (Gamorean Gaurd and Old Ben), some will be standard releases, others "only at Target" and now to find out these new waves are likely only at Entertainment Earth (who are they sharing with?)

side note - they had pics for Shockwave and Jazz - it either printed before they pulled wave 3, or they are figuring out a way to un-cancel TF wave 3. Let's hope for the best.

shared exclusive= shared with web/comic shops. see: http://www.mightymuggsforum.com/showthread.php?t=3253 for discussion on wave 8 and its exclusiveness.

this is NOT entertainment earths wave (wave 8 or this next wave). they arent the ones sharing it. when they say "shared exclusive" they mean BBTS, EE, Big Easy, etc., all can sell these muggs, but retail stores cannot.

as for ANOTHER wave so early, all i have to say is wow. just wow. im excited for the 25th. the announcement will be a great birthday surprise to my muggin husband.

heres a screenshot of the page. also, wave 8 is listed underneath separately:

ahhh. that was what i figured. Shared with specialty stores and web stores, but not Meijer, Walmart or Targets.

Also, something i forgot to mention is it said this upcoming secret wave with the Scout Trooper is the first of four "never before Mugged" figures. So I assume that means no alternate/variant characters - so I doub't Hoth Luke will be in this one like someone leaked.

I'm going to go ahead and call my shot on these since the other three are supposedly one a piece from the original trilogy. Sandtrooper, AT-AT Driver, Tie Fighter Pilot.

Any and all troopers are fine by me. They could release two waves of clones etc and I would buy a ton!

I was thinking the same thing! I wonder if any of the websites will have the scout troopers available for purchase individually....BBTS usually does.

01-31-2009, 01:09 PM
i would have said jabba, but the outline isnt right , unfortuately. original trilogy is the best, troopers/bounty hunters i think. maybe, but i hope it isnt coz i wanna do a custom one, General Veers. also death star troopers, imperial officers and maybe just maybe,

THE CANTINA BAND!

i would kill for those muggs! and you would have to have the music playing next 2 them!
but i doubt it

Teeks
01-31-2009, 01:13 PM
Well, Ahsoka's still rumored so she could be one of them. She wouldn't be a skirt Mugg.

As sick and tired as I am of Trooper Muggs, and I am, the Scout Trooper looks pretty damn rad.

thats exactly what i thought at first, but then i noticed every other star wars page in the catalog says "star wars squadron" on it.

Wow! That's a definite buy. May be the first mugg i get two of.

Warning to everyone though: GET THEM FAST OR ELSE VINYL PLAYGIRL IS GOING TO GET THEM ALL!!!! hahahhaha.

Teeks
01-31-2009, 02:08 PM
I think the Vinyl will purchase all of the *Insert Trooper Mugg Here* horse has officially been beaten into nothing now.

Think Ben or the Guard might be one of those three Muggs since we haven't gotten official word on them yet?

I disagree. There are those who don't read posts from eons ago. And it's fun and games with Vinyl. He can buy all he wants. But supply is supply and letting people know not to let the opportunity pass them by - well there ain't nothing wrong with that.

If you are tired of hearing of it, well, sucks for you kid.

*edit* - and if you paid attention, the last type of trooper he was planning on hording, specifically, was the scout. I never just randomly started saying this about "insert trooper mugg here". This is a thread on the scout trooper. But it's moot now, looks like vinyl deleted his account here.

It not my business to to get into the details of his departure, but simply put, he chose to leave the forum for now. He's just fine though and still collecting :)

Darth Conlan
01-31-2009, 06:26 PM
I think Bib Fortuna will be one. You have to have someone from Jabbas palace. I also think it could be a safe bet for a Greedo. The last one I'm not sure about. These are my guesses.

Grak
01-31-2009, 07:50 PM
Greedo would be a poor choice. Let's see either more bounty hunters or unmade troopers. Sandies, TIE Pilots, ATAT Drivers, and maybe Dengar or something.

Aww I'd love to see Greedo ):

If I had to pick characters from the original trilogy, I'd hope for these:

Nien Nunb

Dengar
4-LOM
Salacious Crumb
Tusken Raider

I hope at least one of those is one of the three

there are two hints below the pic of scout trooper
1. these muggs have never been mugged... so ben can't be one and i guess no hoth
luke since there are already two lukes
2. that these will come from the original trilogy
i can almost bet one will be a tuskan raider b/c they are making
muggs with sticks/staffs...ewoks and imperial guard...

That rumor was debunked. It could still be part of this line-up but the fact that it was listed in EE, BBTS, and other toy catalogs months ago does not mean that it is happening. It is merely a mistake made by the people who made the catalog who mistakenly took the Shadow Stormtrooper for a TIE Pilot.

dobo
02-12-2009, 01:25 PM
The Luke Skywalker figures are some of my least favourite muggs, so this one is, for me, by far the weakest of the wave... so many other potentially cool figures that could have taken his place!

BAMFsd
02-12-2009, 06:58 PM
I'm confused. Didn't they say that these would all be characters never before Mugged. Unless they meant that they would not be reissues of previous muggs.

I was hoping for Greedo.

So, are we concluding that the new wave that can be purchased at target includes only Teebo, Shocktrooper, snowtrooper, biggs, and bossk? and that ben kenobi and gamorrean guard are part of the entertainment earth shared exclusive also featuring hoth luke and the scout trooper (biker scout)? while wicket is included in the other shared exclusive with the wampa, imperial guard, and qui gon jinn?

If this is the case they sure didn't make it easy to figure out by putting assorted different combinations of the pics on the back of the new boxes... I got the first five easy, but then have been trying to figure out why I couldn't find the g guard, wicket, or ben... I am guessing that the above is why...any confirmation?

And why oh why have they still not made a greedo?

and one more thing, does anyone else think it might be kind of kick ass if they did an r2-d2 mugg? I realize they would obviously have to change the shape of the mugg completely, but if r2-d2 is the only one that they make a shape change for, I could live with that... and really, will any star wars collectible set be complete without an artoo?

litepink
02-13-2009, 02:50 PM
the target exclusives mighty muggs are just that: target exclusives. wave 8 of star wars (aka wave one 2009) is Royal Guard, Wicket, Qui-Gon, and Wampa. Wave 9 (wave two 2009) is old ben, g. guard, hoth luke, and scout trooper. the target exclusives are not in any wave, they are just labeled as "exclusives."

Waves 8 and 9 are "shared exclusives" and have nothing to do with EE, except for the fact that EE is one of the web retailers that are carrying them.

Choche
02-13-2009, 09:38 PM
Oh man! If I were to find this whole wave through an e-shopping site, I know for sure that the only one I get would be the Scout Trooper.

So are the new Star Wars waves exclusives? the wave 8 or wave 1 2009 says its a "retailer exclusive" so it leads me to believe that its only available online.

Yeah, this was mentioned in a catalog that they sent me last week. These will be available at other online retailers like BBTS though, right?

I hope they go up on hasbro's site on the 25th then. Since they always price them at 10.99. Beats BBTS even. And EE always has the highest prices.

Does EE do a markup for the same reason as TRU (well known, large, and easy to locate)? That is the only reason I can think.

they're a lot different actually....almost the same helmet but with those tubes attached to the box that a lot of the pilots in star wars wear...they also have a different suit...no armor like a regular storm/shadow trooper...

Pretty excited about them...would rather them be released to Target, Walmart, or TRU though. I hate paying for shipping...

I only preorder muggs through bbts in order to hold my mugg. If it then comes out later on hasbro, i'll do it there since it's slightly cheaper. so i got my dibbs on the scout and gammorrean guard at this point. Woot!

Holy crap, you serious??? wow. That was SUPER fast. Sold out in less than 3 hours, even with the 1 per customer cap.

oh wow, didn't know it had been only 3 hrs! I did get order of the wave! This is definitely a very exciting wave! I can't wait to find more scout troopers...but I bet if they become available for preorder again they will be for a higher price on bbts.com...probably in the 14.99-17.99 range. :( 12.99 was a good price to scoop these troopers up :(

I hope you're forming an army otherwise everyone's gonna accuse you of being a hoarder/scalper.

hopefully these guys will look as good in person. I dont mind having the odd wave be an exclusive, it keeps life interesting.

darn - i'm too slow on the BBTS. A buck is a buck!

So here's something I don't get - Mighty Muggs are made by Hasbro. So why do other websites (such as BBTS, EE) gets to sell the pre-orders first, and HTS doesn't even have it on their website?

I was going to write the exact same thing. Boggles the mind.

correct me if i'm wrong but shops get to place an order of how many they want (before release date). therefore they know before hand how many they're getting before they receive them. so they are able to accept pre orders.

shared exclusives meaning?
