Stuff like this is why I never use ebay anymore.  Used to be such a great place, now it just seems like a rip-off den.  Best of luck to you trying to get it resolved.  Going to be really pricey trying to track down a different set with the clear alien.

And now it's official.

The Walt Disney Company's Lucasfilm Ltd. and Marvel Entertainment are joining forces to bring new Star Wars adventures to readers across the galaxy, with Marvel granted exclusive rights to create and publish Star Wars comics and graphic novels beginning in 2015.

The agreement marks a homecoming for the Star Wars comic books. Marvel Comics published the first Star Wars comic book, Star Wars #1, in March 1977, which went on to sell more than 1 million copies. Marvel Comics published its Star Wars series for nine years. In 1991, Dark Horse Comics took over the license, publishing fan favorite titles like Dark Empire and Star Wars: Legacy. Last year, Dark Horse released The Star Wars #1, an adaptation of George Lucas' original rough-draft screenplay for the film, garnering rave reviews and national media attention and ranking among the top-selling Star Wars comics of all time.

"Dark Horse Comics published exceptional Star Wars comics for over 20 years, and we will always be grateful for their enormous contributions to the mythos, and the terrific partnership that we had," said Carol Roeder, director of Lucasfilm franchise publishing, Disney Publishing Worldwide. "In 2015, the cosmic adventures of Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewbacca will make the lightspeed jump back to Marvel, to begin a new age of adventures within the Star Wars universe."

"We here at Marvel could not be more excited to continue the publication of Star Wars comic books and graphic novels," said Marvel worldwide publisher and president, Dan Buckley. "The perennial brand of Star Wars is one of the most iconic in entertainment history and we are honored to have the opportunity to bring our creative talent pool to continue, and expand Star Wars into galaxies far, far away."

"We're incredibly excited by this next chapter in the Star Wars saga," said Andrew B. Sugerman, executive vice president of Disney Publishing Worldwide. "Bringing together the iconic Lucasfilm and Marvel brands to tell new stories will allow us to continue to thrill lovers of the original Star Wars comic books and entertain generations to come."

Marvel has continued to push comic book publishing forward with innovations and experiments like motion comics and digital-only releases, in addition to its deep, ongoing catalog of monthly series and graphic novels created by some of the industry's most gifted artists and writers.

Disney has announced the dates for the 2014 Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios:

Weekend I: May 16 – 18, 2014
Weekend II: May 23 – 25, 2014
Weekend III: May 30 – June 1, 2014
Weekend IV: June 6 – 8, 2014

A week after announcing that it’s purchased the marketing and distribution rights to future "Indiana Jones" movies from Paramount, Disney says it will be at least two to three years before the archaeologist goes on his next whip-cracking adventure.

Still not an official "Indy 5 is happening!", but between Disney buying the rights (why buy if there isn't going to be an Indy 5) and all the rumors that said Ford would only do Ep7/8/9 if Indy 5 was part of the contract, it sure seems like a lock at this point.  Just hope they can find a good story.  Leave the aliens out of it this time please.

Same story they've stuck with for over a year now...

I'm now working under the assumption that the next series will be an Episode 7 series we'll see in Spring 2016.   

The first problem is that the 6" figures are over priced by about $5 right now.  If they want people to adopt the line, they need to bring it down a little bit... $17.99 even.

I agree with you... but Hasbro doesn't.  In fact, not only are they not lowering the Star Wars 6" figure price for 2014, they're bringing their other 6" figure lines into the $20/boxed world too.  Both the 2014 Spider-man Legends and Capt America Legends lines will be boxed/$20 instead of carded/$15.  BBTS recently posted this note:  "Please Note: Hasbro has raised prices on all 6" Marvel Legends Figures and the new MSRP is now ~$20 per figure." 

I could see the price for Jabba with dais for about $50-60 due to the fact the he and his throne would have a lesser part count than something like the speeder with scout trooper. Sure, there might be more plastic but I think labor for assembly could keep the price down somewhat and 3x the price of a single 6" figure seems attainable.

Jabba with a Dias would probably be expensive.  At least $60.  I bet it would sell like gang busters though.  I think the 6" line is more collector driven than kid driven at this point and collectors would gobble that up.

Depending on the packaging, I suppose they could get the price down.  But ultimately, how many folks out there are even willing to plunk down $60 for a 6" scale Jabba Throne set?  Like gang busters seems a bit excessive.  Does anything $60 sell like gang busters anymore?

I'm not much of a 6" scale collector, so I don't really know if there's any type of market for this kind of thing.  I guess He-Man would be the closest comparison since that is one 6" line with vehicles and playsets and things.  There you're talking about $35 mounts or $50 vehicles (neither with a pack-in figure) in a direct-to-consumer model.

Like I said before, I'm not collecting this line, just watching it unfold as an insight into the 'new' Hasbro.  It'll be interesting to see if the collector folks who bitch about a $60 vehicle being too expensive will be willing to pony up $60 for a 6" Jabba w/Dais.

I believe it was the Hasbro Panel at SDCC or Celebration Europe II where the Speeder Bike dlx set was first teased.  And then it showed up on the Hasbro CS lists a few weeks ago which pretty much sealed the deal that it is coming at some point...
