    One minor revision on the recap above. It reads as though the the rise of the rebellion will come out a month after Boba Fett, but it means it will come out a month after the starter pack is released. Great recap though. Thanks for doing this.

    I was a little surprised that the only new figure announced at E3 was Boba Fett. Any hints from E3 or Toy Box TV Live when we might hear about more Marvel or Disney Original figures?? Thanks for the awesome site 🙂

    They announced a lot before E3 as with so many games out at once, the news sites get flooded with reports so news gets buried. So that’s why they pushed out so much info in the weeks before it and E3 was a time to let people catch up with all that info such as Rise, Twilight, Inside Out, Speedway, Takeover, Rebels etc…
