Bah.  At first I was tentative on the 6" line, then I was all in, now I'm not so sure again. 

We're only seeing a handful of 6" figures trickle out each year - which I'm generally okay with.  Now it appears that half of the "new" figures are purely repaints/kit bashed.

Love the all the "big" 6" stuff like the Tauntaun, speeder bikes, etc.  Just wish they would go a little lighter on the rehashed figs.

Great news everyone, it's up for order at TRU.com now!

Looking forward to picking one of these up when they blow them out for $10 in a few years.

This would have been a cool set to pick up instead of the individually carded ones, but at this point, WTF?  I like that you can actually buy the same two figures individually for $18 each on TRU.com (even less on Amazon), for a total of $36 compared to the $40 they're charging for the two pack.

I don't think I would even pay $10 for this on clearance.  A couple of cardboard chairs and a cardboard table doesn't really do it for me.

Cool. 

I hope they find a way to re-release the Wookiee Catamaran someday.  This is an old set I've never been able to track down for a reasonable price.

Technically all of these figures are "Saga Legends". I think the carded samples for Vader and Snowtrooper are errors as they should only have the Star Wars logo at the top and not the SWR.

So do Rebels and Legends all have the same SKU/DPCI number, and are they coming in mixed cases?  I haven't seen case assortments listed for these yet.

I play, my kids got me hooked. I've been in a clan for a while.

Same here.  Any time my son asks me for help in his games I end up getting sucked in.

Nick -

I've struggled with maintaining carded/boxed versions of my stuff for the art/coolness of it.  Ultimately I realized the art/coolness of it didn't overcome the fact they were toys meant to be opened or played with (or displayed) and I just didn't want boxes upon boxes of stuff.

I did find a personal compromise where I am saving a carded version of a figure (usually a Stormtrooper or Clone Trooper) from each line of figures to have come out since 1977.  I hope to create a cool wall of all of these at some point to display the art/coolness of it.  Although I don't intend to do this with anything other than the 3 3/4" figures.

Recently, the one that hurt the most was selling my entire carded/boxed MicroMachine collection.  The couple I opened I just didn't find that cool to play with / display, so I figured I could live without them, plus they were selling for good money on eBay.  It did hurt to sell them though because I thought the art on the boxes was fantastic.  Maybe some of the best (in my opinion) of any major line out there -  Galoob did a great job.  It felt like each box was a super detailed Topps Galaxies card or something.

Good episode.

Although every time I watch a "medieval sword battle" I always ask myself the same question - did people really fight this way?  Sort of one on one random skirmishes before you move on to the next random opponent? 

Is this just a function of how Hollywood wants to script sequences to make them more interesting, or easier to shoot?

I would have imagined a well trained fighting force would try and fight in a more coordinated manner - like the Spartans in 300.  Or maybe a couple of guys would always fight together and double team opponents, etc.

Anyhow, I digress.

Good episode, but I missed not having some Hound / Arya, and Tyrion scenes.  I think those have been my favorite story lines of the season.
