Frankly I don't care about a Cloud Car; What I really want in the Saga Collection is a wide-release Tie Bomber.

Jessica Alba at the MTV Movie Awards.
Seriously, this is the set that I'm most excited about and ironically it's at least a year a away.
Personally I am hoping for Han and Luke in Super Articulated Stormtrooper disguises. Use the VOTC stormtrooper body and I would be happy with that. Please not repacks of the POTF or those Death Star sets Hasbro please!!!
Probably get a Kenobi, Vader, Stormtrooper, Han & Luke Stormtrooper, Gunner, TIE Pilot and hopefully a new Tarkin.
Just saw the exclusives at Comic-Con... the only one I'll probably get is the Target commtech stormie w/ cup exclusive. And to all you people who are complaining about the repaints, what is wrong with you? Most of the repaints are excellent, especially the Neimodian Commander. And most of you are saying "Wheres Cody? More clones! We want more clones!" Weve already got about 15 in 3 months. 3 months! Thats an incredibly short time! And we have gotten about 80 figures (including exclusives, battle arenas, vehicle pack-ins, etc;) in that time period. So all of you stop complaining and crying in your mom's basement and be grateful! Sheesh, you can't please collectors with anything...
More Clones = better. Would you rather buy repaints of Clones (or which there are hundreds of in the film) or repaints of the Nemoidian Warrior, of which there were two of in the film?
You'll be one of the few buying the Neimoidian Commander. I got two of the Warrior, and it was a really crappy figure, IMO. He had a great look and his action feature wasn't intrusive, but any figure that can't hold its own accessories is crap in my book.
And complaining-- it's what collectors do. And that will never stop until the end of time.
And I'm complaining from my nice rent-controlled apartment far from my parent's basement.
I'm not grateful for a bunch of repaints that take away case space for Padmes and Clones.
Hasbro's not doing me a favor by making SW toys, I'm doing them a favor by buying them, and buying a lot of them.
