Some LEGO deals for you guys:

-$5.00 off for the Vader's TIE coupon = bscd29

Vader's TIE Advanced $49.99

Imperial AT-ST $49.98

General Grievous $44.99

Awesome!  Thanks for the post.  I was able to get the ATST at the local LEGO store and they were able to order me the TIE online (but no shipping charge)!

Interesting, Hasbro must keep in mind Lego DS for a larger playset, like an update of vintage death star.
Nice distribution, both scenes from anh and rotj.

Yeah... I can't wait to finish this one.  LEGO sent me a link where I could DL the pdf of the rules... just got through the missing pages last night.   I just wish it would fit in my Detolf case.... there's a minute chance but the listed dimensions aren't encouraging for it.

Not any more: I used to collect a carded and opener of all the figures.... then along came POTC..... and the repacks galore.   About this time in 2006 I decided a few things concerning my collecting habits.   As a musician, I decided to focus primarily on the musicians and aliens and even then mostly OT.   I also decided to "liberate" most of my boxed vehicles and figures ( The Great Unboxing of 2006) which has become an ongoing process.    My ROTS figures are nicely displayed carded at the moment so I'm inclined to leave them there until later, and I still need to make a decision about my POTJ figs (I really like the packaging of these).
Now, I'm pretty much just buying OT figures they haven't made (esp Cantina/JP Aliens) and "significantly upgraded" versions of OT figures.  I've discovered that my "musician" focus may be a little too narrow but I did just pay up the nose for the "holy grail"- the GG Electronic Holiday Max Rebo of which only 200 were made and (I believe) I'm getting number 1 of 200.   One of my best friends has a unique sketch of the Modal Nodes with a bunch of signatures on it but he won't part with it   

I'm also collected the Sideshow 1/6 figures but with the way they're headed, I'm sticking to OT and just figures I want.   I really loved the Unleashed line and have a complete set of them and I'm into the larger LEGO sets (working on Death Star playset atm)

Advice:  don't collect just to collect.... collect to enjoy!

See first post in this thread... the 4 Crimson Guards in this set are "New Sculpts" (i.e. never been offered/released before).

Looks to me to be A  "New Sculpt" used 4 times but with color variations and different heads

I'd love to see a retooled S/A QuiGon though!

So a repack of the TAC or Legacy Evo versions then?

I want something better than those... I'm not sure what it was but I just plain didn't like them.   The neck... makes him look part Kaminoan

If anyone is interested, comicsinfinity.com has the Han Carb for preorder for $179.99. Saving $20. is better than nothing I guess.

Tempting but methinks I can convince myself that I can just as easily keep using either of my Hasblo Han/Carbs for my Jabba setup

Acutally stopped in at the LEGO store a week or two ago and ordered one... just showed up at my door last night.   Now I just gotta see if it'll fit into my Detolf case so I can display under the DS II 
Based on the dimensions, it's gonna be a tight fit and I may need to make some... special modifications...

Vader has to have someone to choke.

Just another way for SSC to captialize on the latest diorama
