Not there, rounding up from around the web...

Tarkin and Jaina Solo are the key drops right now.
I pray the Thrawn pack comes onto HTS.com like the Kylo Ren did afterwards.
Really like that new 11 inch Ahsoka. I'll be picking that up for sure.
Is that Jaina Solo? Or Mara Jade? And if so, is this EU Legends, or are they becoming canon material officially?
So, I am a bit confused... the speeder and Thrawn will be solely sdcc exclusives or will there be non sdcc versions of them?
While I prefer the 6" line over the 3.75" line, I'm glad to see that TVC is coming back. Hopefully they'll re-release Cassian and the Scarif Stormtrooper since they never showed up at any of my local Walmarts. Voted for Bo-Katan in the Fans Choice poll.
I may have to get Tarkin. Is he going to be in the 40th anniversary packaging?
Who is Jaina Solo?
Is that Jaina Solo? Or Mara Jade? And if so, is this EU Legends, or are they becoming canon material officially?
Wow, I'm liking the sculpt on Jaina. That smirk radiates so much character.
Tarkin!!!
wish i was there, havent started collecting black series yet but its on my long figure list. i just want a handful of characters anyway
Oh snap is that a Jedi Temple Guard helmet with Thrawn?
Thrawn and jaina and gree oh my. I'll say it..... That jaina has a very sexy face sculpt.
Huh... it seems that the Commander Gree helmet that comes with the SDCC version of Thrawn is slightly different color-/decoration-wise from the one actually on the Gree figure. The one SDCC Thrawn comes with seems to be painted more like Gree's Phase I helmet like we saw in The Clone Wars (white with the green striping, and the green extends onto the fin/ridge on top of the helmet), while Gree's helmet on the Gree figure is more similar to how he appeared in RotS (silver helmet with the green striping, and none of the green extends onto the fin/ridge). Nice that they actually put that thought into it, shows a nice attention to detail.
Hmmmmm... and where is Hera?
— First figure is Rey
Tarkin is the only vaguely essential figure. None of these other characters really go with anything else or fit in anywhere, in my opinion, and Hasbro doesn't make enough of these to make obscure or unrelated characters when they haven't even finished certain "teams" or rounded out potential scenes. Sort of disappointing reveals. Hoping for better at SDCC.
Oh my god, I can not believe I'm going to say this because I don't care for Thrawn, but I want that SDCC set.
Man, I hope Thrawn gets a wide release soon. I've been dying for his figure ever since I heard rumors of him.
EDIT: also something I noticed... the increased price of $24.99 is only for Gree, who's exclusive. The regular releases are still holding steady at $19.99. So maybe what someone said in another thread (either here on ToyArk or on another site, can't remember) was right: they're taking some of the feedback from the Black Series survey, and introducing some figures with more paint and/or accessories for a slightly increased price. Still not entirely sold on the concept, but at least they're not doing it for all figures in the line, just for exclusives.
