    Luke was a 3.75" by the look of things and the Imperial Hovertank Pilot was 6"

    I just went to Toys R Us yesterday to get the hovertank trooper. No dice on that but they did have 10 of the highly elusive Zuvio figures.

    I was able to pick up my 6" Death Trooper [Hell Yeah!] but unfortunately they did not have a Hovertank Pilot [Going to have to order online]. So I ended up getting 6" Captain Phasma instead. (stormtrooper)

    I also picked up the Death Trooper the other day. Hopefully Toys R Us puts the Hovertank Pilot up for sale on their website(not currently available on their online store), otherwise we'll be at the mercy of those dirty scalpers. I did finally manage to snag a Shock Trooper at a decent price on eBay the other day as well.

    I am not a fan of ordering online, I would rather get the figures in person but if there is no other way to get them, then I must go the online route.

    I am ready for wave 2 to get here. I plan to pick up a Scaraf Trooper and Director Krenick [I apologize if I misspelled his name]. (stormtrooper)

    Picked up 6" First Oder Tie Pilot and Snow Trooper [still want the officer version] yesterday and today. This brings my collection to 4 so far. I will post a pic as soon as I can. (stormtrooper)

    The Walmarts in my area are full of the 6" Death Troopers and Jyn Erso. I have those, but still needing the tank trooper and Scarab trooper. I have a good collection of the various trooper figures.

    It's annoying how many figures they made for obscure characters versus more main characters; such as there are a ton of Constable Zuvia and Guarvian figures, but I still have not seen a General Hux figure in person. Why couldn't they make a Maz figure to scale with the 6" figures, or a C3PO red arm yet? Or an Old man Luke already? Whoever decides which figures to produce is really missing the boat. By the time they do make these figures, there will be other figures from Rogue One and Episode 8 to purchase.

    No doubt. You know there are enough people and kids over in China to make multiple character figures.

    Went out on a hunt for the new R1 tank trooper. No Luck. I did find a mint Kanan figure, and a Tie Fighter Pilot, both BS 6". added a few more various old Kenner figures to the collection as well. On the lookout for POTF A-wing and Y-wing now too.

    That's the series from mid-late 90s. POTF = power of the force

    I've seen only 1 and I bought it. There are a few characters out that I haven't seen.

    What's great is buying the Force Awakens figures on discount now that the Rogue One figures are out. I got Poe's Xwing and the Tie Fighter each for $15 dollars at Walmart.
