Animated Jawas, eh?  Between that and an ARF (?) trooper, I'm mildly intrigued.  Every time I try to ecape this line, they lure me back in...

Thanks for posting.  I will continue to avoid McDonald's.  

I saw this show up on the side show news letter:

Quote from: Side Show Collectibles

We would like to announce changes in the anticipated shipping dates of the items below.

Star Wars: Obi Wan Kenobi - General - Clone Wars 12-inch figure - #2175 & EX. #21751 Now October 2008

Cripes - October!?  Well, at least that's a few more months before it hits the credit card...

Anyone know if this is a "for purchase" product or a freebie when you spend $25 like  TRU has done with past SW Exclusives?

I don't agree. I havn't seen one movie related toy line fly off the shelves this summer because of kid demand. Batman, Hulk, Ironman and Indy are all stinking up the pegs around here. I still haven't seen wave 3 or 4 of Indy. The pegs are too full.  The only one that seems to be moving is Speed Racer just because its toy car based. That's the same reason Cars still does well at retail.

If Hasbro over does it (and they will) we won't be able to absorb these without alot of help from the kids. It sounds like alot of us aren't going to help the situation either. I know I'm not. I think we are in the last years folks.

I'm surprised that you have Iron Man figures lining the pegs near you.  Haven't seen the others sell very well, but I live in the land of 1,000 Targets and none of the ones near me have had IM figs for over a month.  The endcap they dedicated was too small and these things old like hot cakes once the movie established itself.  I do think there will be stronger demand for the CW stuff - star wars always sells better than crap like Hulk because it just has that much bigger fan base.

I'm also surprised to read all of these posts and see most people say they will buy the new vehicles.  Wasn't that long ago that Hasbro was frequently stating they could not sculpt new vehicles and expect to make a profit, and here we have a new line where most collectors seem to only be interested inthe new vehicles.  I'm curious to know if times have changed or if Hasbro has always under estimated the demand for these.  Or maybe they just came up with the a few kick butt ideas all at once.  I'm in the vehicle buyer crowd - definitely going to find a way to get the BMF Falcon and at least an AT-TE if not two.

Those are sweet looking (other than Abe who looks ridiculous IMO).  Are these roughly Marvel Legends sized?  They actually look a little bigger to me. 

Pretty sure he's in Cali - Justin   

I assumed so as well, but figured I would check.  The Pittsburgh guys have been finding stuff early lately as well, so one can always hope its closer to home!

Can't believe you voted for the Question.  Huntress, no contest.
