Looks like they're only announcing the Axe Woves and Carson Teva helmets this morning.

No actual images of Keva’s helmet, just that it is a pipeline item…

They commented that it is a very vivid blue color too, so maybe I’ll pick this one up too. Heck, I have all the others…

Can’t decide about the Xwing helmets. My wife bought me Wedge’s, but I should either stick with just one or buy the others (and the Disney Park “Biggs” one too).

The parks one is not Biggs. It has a similar checker pattern but it is an original Black Spires scheme.

the Parks one is not Biggs.. its a bit of a mish mash of things. It does have some Biggs coloring to it, but there are elements that are original and not part of any film or character. I especially find funny the "LEBEL PILOT" printing on the side.. which is supposed to say "REBEL" but the R is rotated according to the rest of the text for some reason.
There are also many differences between the Parks and Black Series helmets. I have a thread on this elsewhere in the RPF.

Hence why I specifically noted it as “Biggs.”

I thought for sure they would have the Scout helmet available today. It was supposed to be released this Summer, so today would have been the ideal day to release it.

Don’t remind me, I think a lot of people are waiting for that to drop. It might be the only black series that I get 2 of for my collection.

Not summer yet. Maybe SDCC. And then it will probably be a 6 month preorder.

I wanted about a half-dozen of the Amazon-exclusive Shadow Troopers. I paid full price or higher, including when they were briefly re-released, for the three I did manage to get. I have never seen those available discounted. I have made do with one regular Stormtrooper, but verified I don't like working with base white plastic anywhere as much as I do with black.

My two Bobas and one Supertrooper have been full retail, but with a modest GameStop monthly reward discount off the Supertrooper.

My three Luke pilot helmets were full price. Whenever they'd go on sale, I never got there in time. I still need two more -- of any pilot -- but every one I've seen has always been full retail, so I haven't been in a hurry.

My Poe helmet was full retail.

But I also suffer from my local Target and Walmart having indifferently-run toy sections. I have seen one (1) HBS Stormtrooper helmet at my local Walmart, and three Vaders. And nothing at my Target. My local GameStop currently has a single Death Watch helmet. They have not gotten in any Clone Trooper buckets, to my great frustration. I could use my coupon on that. I need two, and that would be a start. But no.

I don't get how everyone keeps finding these on sale. :p

I've gotten 3 of mine on sale, & each one was because I got a heads up from this thread.
